Need serious HELP!
Ok guys, as you may know, im the new owner of the 93 RSP sc300 That Brian use to own in NY. Well this car is a piece of work lol. Not blaming the guy for not telling me because the duty was mine to get a carfax report.blah blah blah well enough about that,
1st when i drive the car and im holding the steering wheel straight sometimes the car still moves slightly to the right or left (WHILE IM HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT!). What is causing that? 2nd my brake lights do not work at all. Could it be a fuse problem or do i just need new bulbs?
3rd, what size battery do i need for the sc because im looking to buy a redtop optima, i dont know if having a 1jzgte matters in this case.
4th what tire sizes are correct for this car? when i bought the car, i nearly killed myself driving it home, because the two front tires were different sizes and the front left one exploded when i was doing 80 in the highway. the 2 sizes were 255/35/19(right tire) 235/35/19(left tire).
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks to those who took the time to read all this

1). Could be worn bushings. Steering maybe.
2). Check the bulbs first see if its blown. replace if needed
3). SC uses a large battery.. or regular size battery? iono its big.
4). if 255/35ZR19 works without rubbing on the right tire. get a pair of those to replace L + R rims.

your brake light problem is probably your brake light module. little yellow box in trunk on driver side. it goes bad disconnect it and jump 2 pins in the connector and your as good as new.

The factory recommends 27F for the OE battery size. However, you can go with the 24F which is slighlty smaller and lacks just a few cranking amps. Going with the 24F will save you some money and some weight, the minimal difference in the cranking amps wont make much of a difference (considering your car doesn't have a huge assortment of aftermarket electronics).
As for tire size..its entirely up to you. Check out the fitment guide thread, should give you some good insight. But if your looking for the OE specs on an SC300, I believe they are 225/55/16.
As for the steering issue..when was the last time the car got an alignment?
Hope this helps. Good Luck.

everything on the list is pretty simple and cheap. Search the suspension forum for rack bushings and it has a DIY. That way you will know where to look and to see if there is a need to replace them. Also, look at your control arm bushings and make sure they are not gone(dead).
another option would be to bring it to a brake check or any shop that will give you a free inspection of your suspension. Get a list from them and now you know what need to be replaced -- For free.
