  1. Crap this sucks, now I need a new bumper. Anyone know where I can grab one cheep, I am about to check ebay It is not a huge deal since I was about to get the car repainted anyway, still sucks though... I was driving out in the dunes late at night and I see like 4 deer going across the road a little ways away, I hit my breaks (it is snowing, and not plowed) and I hit one of the deer in the butt going about 25, maybe 30, the deer did a 180 in the air and fell into some bushes. I came to a stop and checked out the damage, then went back to see if I had killed the deer or not. There was not a trace so I geuss it got away, but I am sure it has a broken hip or leg or something. I will post pictures when it is light outside Anyone else here ever hit a deer?
  2. If I never hear from you again, I am going to assume that your car has blown up and you are dead. :D
  3. I got a new stock Nakamichi Radio head unit and I can't figure out how to take apart the dash to take out the old one and stick the new one in. I really want my radio back so any help would be great =p
  4. um, okay I was not aware there was a different break light the red light that says "break" is your ebreak light. Not sure what your talking about
  5. you mean the Emergency break light? I am guessing that your Ebreak is loose (just from use) and needs to be tightened I dismantled and adjusted my ebreak some months ago and figured out how that part of an SC400 works. It is really simple. Basically the break line can be tightened or loosened via a set of two bolts (just like a bicycle) There are two larg bolts that you need to loosen (won't come all the way off) First- Pull off the leather cover (this will expose a the metal frame of your ebreak) It should just slide out over the handle Second- Loosen (they are in there tight) the two large bolts it will get easy to do then hard again, when it gets hard again stop. Third- The break will be loose, just tilt it in towards your seat and tighten the nuts on the end of the cable It is in a kinda awkward place but you can get it tight enough that there should be tension all the way down, remember you don’t want to tighten it too much or your rear breaks will always be on =p The othe more getto solution it the following. When you lift the Ebreak a button is, "unpushed" and the light turns on. Just stick a piece of electric tape over it to hold it down and you will never see that light turn on. You still have to take apart your ebreak to do this though so you might as well tighten it anyway. Good luck, hope this helps
  6. I want to get some new seats for my SC400 and but I want something light IE not electric and heavy. Are there any good brands I should look into that would be easy to install on a 93 SC400?
  7. I can't imagine it looking bad Is there anything wrong with you current bumper? I need a new front bumper, a VW bumped me in a parking lot and I don't thing the other version looks bad at all, I have the version you want.
  8. I am on a bit of a budget right now, but I would like to really start Moding my car, I can get the money for just about anything I need it just might take a month or two of starvation =p The first thing I was going to do was replace my exhaust manifold, and Mufflers and add a cold air intake. Later I want to add a single turbo and nitros system but I want to get as much real power out of the car as possible first. Are there any other changes I should consider doing before I begin working on getting a turbo in my car? I have a 1993 SC400 right now I have done almost nothing to it aside from some lightening and straight through exhaust Also I know nothng about ECUs, I just have never used or done anything in the computer area, is that something I should really consider? You should maybe consider a "Piggy back ECU" maybe an Apexi SAFC piggy back ECU unit...This increases the air and fuel mixture that is being delivered to the motor..It is easily wired up to the stock ECU then you can fine tune the engines air/fuel mix and flow.....This Piggy-back ECU further advances the capabilities of the limited stock ECU...Gains in the 10-15hp range should be expected..... I would do exhaust ,headers,intake and do ecu or S-afc after since it would be adjusted according to new air flow resulting from those mods. I know i noticed a big improvent just from a BFI intake and Exhaust. Geuss I will do that, I will keep you guy updated with the impovments I see

  10. yeah, i heard about people using tundra trannings it is something to consider
  11. I have an SC400 1993 I have been doing some mods to it and one of my biggest complaints is the automatic transmisionI would love to get a 5 speed manual in my car. I can live with the auto transsmision, but like I said, I would like a Manual a lot. Has anyone done this? how hard of a mod is this? Most of what I have seen/read seems to say that the change would be near imposible without a lot of fabing, which I such at.
