Default My SC400s

Im not going to make separate threads for both SCs since I wont be doing much work to one of them.

Back in April I bought a 1993 SC400 from a friend, got it running, fixed the brakes, and beat the bag out of it. I call it the ****missile because it looks like **** but still goes like a missile haha. I wont be doing too much to that one, and may even sell it back to my friend since hes obsessed again now that it runs properly..


My other SC is a 1995 with 155k miles and is in essentially perfect condition. everything works, no dings/dents and was garage kept. Im either the second or third owner and Im completely in love with it. I'll be doing small mods here and there to it but probably more next year..

heres some pics!

****missile pics:











Some Seafoam fun:







And a few of the '95:

alright, finally some updates!


the 93 I basically abandoned, I plan to pull the engine and trans out some time this summer.

the 95 has been getting some mods like it deserves.

I put on my SSR gt-1 wheels and put some new rubber on them. currently running 18x9 rears with 265/45 and 18x8 front with 225/45s.

I also installed a Whiteline front strut tower bar.

A great local shop (RaceTek Automotive in Newton, NH) made a custom midpipe/xpipe for me and installed my Tanabe medallion mufflers. Sounds great now. No drone, and not much in-cabin noise unless I really get on it, outside the car it sounds great though.

pics:







Final Product..






Next up will be the new 7" touch screen and my Tanabe NF210 lowering springs

thanks! sorry for the late reply, been too busy for forums lately. I've got a few clips but I cant get one to actually sound accurate or decent it seems maybe I'm just being picky though.

I'll see about uploading one this week though
