  1. Hi all,

    Just joined your fine club because i've just today become the proud owner of a 1995 sc400. I sell cars online for a living and we just took this lexus in on trade....I paid 600 bucks for this diamond in the rough. It needs paint work but even with 227,xxx miles it runs like a champ and is loaded with all working options....12 disc changer, sunroof, trac control etc.....only issue is the digital display for the climate control is out so I have to play around til i learn where all the proper settings are. A tech in our touch up shop is going to fix the paint for me.....wont be perfect but MUCH better than it is now....he's doing this work for 300 bucks! the drivers seat is pretty rough so im looking for a replacement. This is my winter project, any thoughts or comments are appreciated. I have pics but only in jpeg, i'll put em up on photobucket so I can post the url here

    Great deal on the car and the paint job. I have a black 95 SC 400. It has the rear spoiler and I had to replace the struts last year, if you don't have the spoiler your struts should hold up for a while longer. If you replace the struts be careful not to strip the head of the bolt and it will come out easier, the bolts have locktite on them so heating first will help. Last year I also had the trasmission pulled and the seals replaced and new fluid installed.

  2. Hi Everyone! I have a 93 Lexus SC400. I need some help and advice on changing my brake pads. Any brands that you can recommend? I planned on trying to do this on my own with some help of course. Any special tips or advice that you can give me would be very helpful as well. Thanks! :D

    I have had the best luck with Wagner ThermoQuiet brake pads. They hold up well, don't squeak and are not too bad for brake dust. You will need an Allen wrench, large C Clamp or the brake pad clamp and I would recommend 2 cans of good quality brake parts cleaner. You will also need some way to hold the caliper once you have it removed from the rotor. Good luck.

    Let me know if you need something I can give you my number in case you run into problems.
