i should start tuning-up my new car? =)
Hi, I recently purchased 1995 sc400 about couple of months ago (128xxx miles). Dark Green exterior with grey interior w/ gold emblems, i'll post picks later . I've been driving my car as is until now. However, since i've found a stable job, im going to start fixing little things here and there and build it to a beauty . little body work here and there that needs to be done, (due to some ******* doing a hit and run while my car was parked near my old house) >:C . Well, besides some of the problems that I'm already aware of; front wheel control arm bushings, transmission mounts, driver's side door panel, cabin air filter, and windshield and etc. I'm still quiet stupid and have no knowledge of what to exactly tune-up and change for my car under the hood area. If any one knows any good sites for getting the parts that I need with cheap price , I would really appreciate it.
I'm going to try fixing and doing all these things by myself as much as possible (this car actually saved my life couple of times, hahah not because i was driving like an idiot - -;; ) Please guide me :]

looks pretty nice man. thats not too bad a shop should be able to fix that easy. i was always a fan of the spruce interior.
are you sure your cars a 95 because it looks like you have a 97+ front bumper on your car.
someone could have changed it, its too dark i cannot tell. your car has 95 tails though.
i would recommend starting with your steering wheel. the 3 spoke was the best mod i think i ever did. the big shiny Lexus emblem makes me happy.
keep an eye out on our classified section here and alot of supra parts will fit our car concerning suspension components. but you cant mix and match them.

Go through and do the standard tune up unless you already have. (Oil, plugs, ect.) You also need to check its history and see when the last time its trans. fluid and rear diff. were changed. Other than that just be aware of any abnormalities you hear or feel. These are very strong motors and the common problems usually don't seem to come from the engine. Clean it and baby it is what I do. Good luck with it.
