Let me have dibs on the rear springs, if you decide to part with them...

 

I wanna move to Florida so damn bad. The sc community down there is way larger and seems more friendly in my opinion

 

Hey guys I have a weird question......

When it rains I get water coming in from the sunroof, it closes and opens perfectly but upon furthur inspection it does this when i close the doors.


Does the sunroof on anyone elses SC do this ? If not then why and what can I do about it ? Yes i know the paint is faded on my roof........



Oh and I just picked these up today, will prob throw them on next week

 

Just about all cars do it to a certain degree. My fathers E55 did it. So did his 740. My Trailblazer SS does it. My SC does it as well.

Air pressure. Does not necessarily mean 'leak' because ALL sunroofs 'leak'. Just depends on how well the drainage system works preventing it from getting into the car.

 

Damn I guess I gotta see if the little drain holes are clogged up or something.

 

Slapped on some new rollers... Sorry no drop yet, but its on the way along with some other mods

 

Nice project! It has steadily progressed nicely. Way up! Where are you with the SC430 seat project?

Has anybody done that conversion? SC430 seats in an earlier SC400/SC300?

Ryan

 

Thanks Ryan the seats are still on the do to list but I am trying to finish my suspension mods first. SInce the car is high mileage I have a very slugish ride. Trying to get some BC coils and Battle Version arms to help remidy that. Maybe next month I can start on the seat swap, the seats arent that expensive I think about 300-400 per seat. I will try to source and passenger side one first and start there. I dont think anyone has done it before so it should be a first.


Also a little teaser of more goodies coming along...

 

looking good bro, I like the new wheels...hey you beat me to the Tanabes lol!

 

My sunroof hops when I close my door too, but that wasnt the cause of the leak that I had.

I had pulled apart the headliner and noticed that the passenger side drain hose( coming from the sunroof assembly ----- to the train hole underneath the cd changer in the trunk ) was unhooked.

I always saw a wetspot on the sunroof slider, and within time the water damage destroyed my rear seats' leather upholstery. If I were you, although it is a pain, I would take apart the headliner and check the drain hoses ---- if they are unhooked. Also check for clogs, but don't pull em out of their position --- theyre a pain to slide back in, if you've got a compressor tank shoot it with some air like how you would unclog washer nozzles.

 

Surprised no one had anything to say about this . You need to get the proper trim for that airbag, If not, I don't think it will deploy properly.

If your airbag goes off it'll rip that trim off and send it flying into your passenger's face. The proper trim opens downward the way the glovebox does, to allow the airbag to fully deploy.

UNLESS!!!!!......the airbag deploys from that little slit in the middle of the airbag panel?

 

From the research I did thie airbag is correct. The one your talking about which was the one I was also thinking about is the 95-96 passengerside airbag. They changed em up I dunno why.... I could be wrong though

 

You are correct, I wanted to double check to let you know. Mine is a 93 and it has the trim I was talking about. You're golden

 

92 didn't have passenger airbag.
inbetween years had the smooth airbag with the sectioned trim (my 95 is like this)
very late years (I want to say 98+ but i could be off by a year) went to airbag with a slit and no sectioned trim.
92 looks the best, I think they realized that half way through and re-engineered it.

My 95 when I first got it

 

Thanks bro and yea I had to jump on the Tanabes, I had a set of Nur Spec on my white SC and loved them. But I feel they need to be on a car with a body kit and since I dont want a kit I think the Tanabes flow real nice with the stock 97+ look

Yup that is correct
