  1. It's an old car and needs some love. Tell him to search youtube for "seafoaming". My stock sc300 dominated a Turbo Subaru WRX from a dig. Once your brother gets it tuned he will be much closer to ~200 imo.
  2. This website was a redesign of one I found that was terrible. It was for a school project and the teacher said that whoever has the most unique visits by Jan.22 gets free lunch at where ever they want! Help a competitive clubna-t member out! http://www.troyk.gknu.com Thanks, Troy
  3. Same Problem just have to take it out an clean it do some searching on clublexus.com
  4. Ya $500 for labor = ouch! I'm considering a TC too.
  5. Thank God I found this thread! I'm doing this first thing tomorrow!
  6. Just the title of this thread made me vomit in my mouth a little.
  7. I just got new OEM brakes on my sc300 and they work great and are silent!
  8. The techs at the Toyota dealership say that mine needs replacing which is why i hear rattling and my AC isn't as great as it could be. They say it's about a 1hr job and there's only 6 bolts that need to be removed so I was wondering if this is something that I could do by myself. Any opinions/links to tutorials would be great though I have looked to no avail.
  9. Sounds great! Do you have any suggestions as far as brands/ models go? I'm pretty new to all this though I have been doing a little reading.
  10. Jibby, what would you recommend that I upgrade first on my stock 94 sc300 to get the most performance for the money? I know its a very general question; from what I've read it seems like intake/exhaust might be a decent start.
  11. Honesty I appreciate, but ignorance and lack of scope disturb me . There is little more damaging you could do to your car than change the color in the manner you suggest. By doing such your otherwise 'o.k' car will be viewed as a 'hack job' and you as a 'hacker'. If that is 'o.k' with you then by all means continue. On a personal note it's funny to me. Here I can't get a fender or fuel door painted correctly (e.g. no orange peel, overspray, dirt in paint, clearcoat integrity or chipipng...) for less than an arm and a leg ($$$$) and a large population consistently believe they can paint their entire car for peanuts. Even more extreme some people think they can change a car's color. On the greater aim: Troy, I strongly encourage you to utilize the search function. From typing in 'upgrade' a host of threads appeared with this one<-------link standing out at a brief glance. Personally, I would embrace the gold exterior, pick up a set of reasonably priced rims (from an IS300 on CL for around $300) and go from there. Read the thread ^^^^^^^^^^ above. Hth. Thanks a lot, I will seriously reconsider the paint job. -Troy
  12. First, you best abandon the plan of changing the color of the car. One would need to paint the door jams, engine bay...basically an entire strip down ranging in cost from $5,000-$8,000 for anything quality. Any corners cut will make the endeavor wholly basterdized and notably diminsh the value of the vehicle. Frankly, it is not an option. From there I would strongly encourage you to put your efforts into simply bringing the vehicle up to par with basic routine maintenance and only then begin to pursue other upgrades. In any event welcome to the 'automotive world'! I've already considered that but to be honest I don't mind leaving the door jams/engine bay/ under hood gold, it's not like they are seen very often plus it will still match the leather. As far as routine maintenance, my dad works at a Toyota dealership so I've already got that covered :) I guess what I'm looking for is where to get started to improve performance (bang for the buck kind of stuff I guess). Thanks for your input!
  13. Hey all! I'm an extremely fortunate 17 year old who just got a '94 sc300 as my first car with my own cash The first thing that I plan to do is paint it black, but as for performance upgrade, what should I go with first? I was thinking either lowering it a little/ cold air intake/ new rims and tires? Any suggestions or tips are more than welcome. Lexus 4 Life!
