Wondering if im the only one with an sc 400 thats very rough and just used to beat around with? Everyone here seems to have mint sc's with thousands of dollars in mods, while I paid less than a grand for my sc . Chose a beat up 92 sc 400 rather than a honda accord for some reason, dont know why. Sc has just always appealed to me

ive got a 92 sc400....got it for $1850 with a salvaged title....looks rough now....but its my project car so ill eventually have it looking pretty good lol. I also owned a 2001 Honda Accord V6 Coupe that was my daily driver till i traded it off for a REALLY stupid reason *female involved stupid reason*

Its looking like i wont have the money to fix it up, but slowly people are helping me out with super cheap labor and parts, so it may be fixed up. Id like to keep her until she dies tho :P

mines in rought shape but slowly (i mean i dont have a job right now slowly) but surely its becoming better. soon it will be one of the best cars in my town (and i dont mean this out of arrogance but there isnt much of a car scene here and almost everyone rocks knock offs more than original parts, there wont be a single knock off on my car.)

I don't drive my sc400 because of the crap fuel mileage so it's waiting for the gte swap this winter and when I see threads with people daily driving sc400's I think to my self that you must be rich to beable to afford fuel for that thirsty V-8 Lol

ChrisH, first off welcome to CL. quick tip: Use the SEARCH faithfully, there are some great DYI articles in this forumn. Valuable tools! As far as my SC, it was a little rough and still is. A few dents, here and there. It's not a problem for me, especially since I doing my body work and paint myself. I think the hardest thing for me is deciding on which "special" color I'm going with? LOL

Im curious to see what you guys consider "rough"...cause right now IMO, my SC looks like crap.

Mine was rough but I've been working on it.

Paid $6k for the car last year
Maintenance so far is near $3k (100k service including timing belt/waterpump, replaced every gasket, new ECU, just tons of stuff)
And I need a lot more! (prob. another $2k on suspension and brakes)
Mods around $4k, and of course I need more After I replace every suspension component I still need to refurb my interior, paint, and possibly NA-T. I'm assuming I would have easily spent $15-20k when I'm all done. That's just when I'll get bored (knowing me) and buy another beat up project.

I consider my car to be very rough. Looks decent in pictures but its more of a racecar with ****ty paint.

Rough SC?

Well, you came to the right board I'd say at least half of the cars on here are buckets.

ChrisH

Rough as in interior is completely frigged, body is dinged up. Driver door hinge is loose , and my door doesnt open all the way . Mechanically my baby is amazing. Sorta a sleeper i guess lmfao
