Nope. You should go get it. Will be awhile before you see another clean one.

Washed, polished, and vacuumed the SC......

Mesh wheels look nice but they take time to clean..... In the end, worth it.....

(pic is not the one from today.... too tired to take a pic....

ordered a set of 255/35/19 and
305/30/ bridgestone potenza s04's was going to order the the RE11's but they are way to pricey for me, also got a set of 1000cc injectors and put the engine in the car and installed the act clutch and pressure plate (750hp capable) replaced a bunch of seals and bearings and assessed all the work to do in the next couple months..

Well we had a dyno day at a local shop and some buddies paid for me to dyno. I wasnt going to since its pretty much stock 1jz vvti. Well I put down 260hp and 245 torque to the wheels. I was having problems keeping it in the right gear (automatic) and it was breaking up under boost. Think I need to check plugs. I didnt think it was too bad.

Yesterday, I also installed a pair of cheap chrome exhaust tips to replace the factory ones that didn't shine anymore.

Today, Installed my supra shock/eibach spring combo. and found the front bushings are all trash.

so, i'm getting really fed up with my SC400. A couple weeks ago i had power steering problems where it was whining a fluid was leaking. I concluded that it was a cracked hose, and replaced it, and it was good for a little. Then today, problem is back. It whines like crazy and fluid is not visibly leaking, but was a bit low when i checked the reservoir. It also smells like burning fluid a little under the hood. I wonder if its the power steering pump or what, but that was my adventure this afternoon trying to find out what the problem is.
