  1. Ok here r the pics i also took afew of the system, some of u may have seen it but some havent.
  2. ill take pics tomorrow. ill pst them, alot of people liked them im still iffy about them but so far good reviews. ill re port tomorrow.
  3. i bought new ones and still had the same problem. wat u do is spray windex around the seals were the lens meets the housing. then i took my vacum that has a reverse air flow. which means it pushes air out. any air comporressor will do. wat u wanna do is push air in the main headlight whole and try to tape or hold shut the other holes. (just leave the lights in. now were ever u see bubbles forming that means that leake is comming from there. Wat u wanna do is mark these holes and do it again. 2 times will re insure u found all the openings. (use alot of windex or water. Finally take some caulk or silicone and seal it up nice over the marks u made. you can use weather proofing clay which can be found at any hardware store. i used both and i havent had problems since. might take u a few times or if ur carfull u will get it on the first try. when ur done make shure there is no water or anything in the headlights before u replace it. Hope u got everything, as for cleaning them the inside of my lenses wernt dirty only the outside, so make shure before u take them out and bake them. If they are baking them is the best alternative. Good Luck.

  5. why cant we have places liek that in New York. It is close to impossible to find a place with good quality that does custom work. All our performance shops here SUCK. By the way those pipes do look amazing. good job.
  6. I have a 92 sc 400 my front bumper looks crapy cause i dont have the factory lip. These are my 3 options what do u guys think i should do? 1. Do 97 conversion (front) $800 2. Wise sport Lip import from japan. $600 3. Replace with factory lip $400 I really wanna go with the 97 conversion, and luxory mods has it for 800 total. Does anyone know any other cheaper places to do the conversion? Or should i take the economical route? Sooooooooooo confused
  7. i dont know about u guys but i got board of the wood trim in the sc. So i took them out sanded and repainted a nice Satin Black finish after alot of wet sanding and afew coats let me tell u it looks nice. Wasnt crazy about the color was gonna use flat black but i thought it would be to plain. Point of this is that it looks good, was wondering if anyone else tried.
  8. When you hit 119 you should be able to determine who one the race. races dont last forever on highways etc. if its inexpensive go for it. but its more of a reason to give you no limits, very dangerous. Now everytime you drive your gonna try to top out higher than the previous time. Greeeddddddddy
  9. i just orderd a new AC filter maybe its that try replacing it could be dirty. http://www.luxurymods.com
  10. I orderd some stuff for my car and since my girlfriend doesnt care i figure id let you guys know. I orderd -Tockico Shocks -Eibach Springs (1 in) -Daizen Replacment Bushings for Control Arms -Daizen Replacment Bushings for Stabalizer bar -OCC Front Upper Strut Bar Im excited now but I wont be when my credit card bill comes in. My ride has been crapy i put 17s on with 245/40 tires and the ride felt awful, i took them off but now after this hopefully the ride quality will increase and the car will ride nicer then before. Stage 1 Suspension complete.
  11. wear can i find the front lip made by wise sport. went to there website but it only shows the item you can nopt buy it. anyone know of any Us distributors?
  12. I found a Daizen Control Arm Bushing Kit can i get that instead of the factory, control arm
  13. DEaler is asking 612 for each one. Wats up anyone know an alternative? Got an SC 400. 92
  14. so wait a minute i put 17s on my car and the springs arent that great on my car so the car sits lower, my tires got eaten up soooooo quickly this is because i need a chamber kit? i put the factory rims on now cause of that problem but i wanna put the 17s back on, should i invest in this chamber kit too?
  15. i just6 re installed the factory air filter im gonna get the directions for the bfy unit see what happens
  16. i have the same problem. i know i have a small leak and i have to keep refilling my ac coolant every years. leak is to small to find though as per mechanic. plus cheaper to just refilling every year only costs me 100 bucks,
  17. im not shure what grades ur talking about but i used to run 93 octaine now with gas up to 2.70 a gallon ii dropped to 87 octaine, and i could careless about car performance cause im broke. but 87 is the same stuff. try mixing 87 with 104 octaine boost gives u a nice mix, cheaper.
  18. I installed an open air intake just the cone itself. No cold air sheild and i dont know if the power has decreased. Has anyone else installed the same or have any other ideas? How can i fix this problem should i do a BMI intake like the one in the FAQs?
  19. wow i thought my car had alot of mileage. Hows the radiator? power steeering? alternator? my car has 148 k and i have the following problems. other than that motor perrs like a kitty kat
  20. well i put 17s and still have a wheel balance problem. you need to find someone that does really good wheel balancing. theres more to it than just alignement. you should look around for a professional. it might cost alot but the job will get done. A car is mechanical anything on it can be fixed or adjusted. hek u can turn a Punto into a drag car and theres no questions about it. You mechanic plays a big role. think of him as a DR. would you want open heart surgery from a quack, or some million dollar New york city specialisti. Moral = FIND A NEW MECHANIC, if ur in the ny area i can recomend afew people. good luck.
