Some serious changes from when you first posted up ur SC4...really clean detail job, big PROPs for doing the maintenance-this is key to longivity! So ur going to Murda it out? I think it's going to be interesting...keep us posted bro!

thx,

steve

 

Thanks for the feedback guys, let me show you what the new look is like. LMK what y'all think:


This side has all the chrome trim and badges still shiny


This side has all the trim and badges blacked out.

LMK which one y'all prefer =D I'm leaning towards all black because I feel the shiny badges and chrome trim take away from the epicness of all black.

 

nice change up

 

definitely the black. chrome badges dont look tight on the wheels.

 

I like the all blacked out ones better... Car looks sweet with the TT rims and tires!!!

 

All blacked out looks great, I am loving the Supra wheels on the SC, makes me wish I didn't purchase aftermarket ones.

Car looks great.

 

Thanks guys!! you won't believe how lucky I was in getting those rims. It was a straight up trade for the stock rims I had before. The guy who traded them to me was looking to either give his SC to his son or sell it, so either way he wanted the stockers I had (since we were local to each other). My stock rims had really good yokohama S drives on them, and the TT rims (at the time) had no tread left, and driving in the rain was scary LOL. but I just invested in tires, so they are rocking S drives now =D.

 

Finally got to detail the SC after the new look:

 

So I got rear ended yesterday and due to some extenuating circumstances, the guy drove off before I could even get a picture of his license plate. Whatever. However, the damage to bumper was minimal, BUT!! the exhaust was pushed forward a good 3-4 inches. Yesterday night she started running rough, almost like a miss here and there. This morning, it was the same, smooth idle with a random miss here and there. I then noticed my negative battery terminal was slightly loose (probably due to something I did earlier, not related to rear ending), after tightening it however, the car immediately ran rough.

Started her up and it sounded like a domestic V8. There was absolutely no power or anything. So I jacked her up and noticed the cat on the damaged side was glowing! I thought perhaps it was damaged and the O2 sensor was melted due to all the smoke. (the smoke is just from the cat burning the oil that has been leaking for months now, not sure where from, but it's not a big enough issue for me to rip everything apart just to find it). But then I got under her and everything in front of the resonators looked fine, mounts didn't see to be out of place, O2 sensor wires looked fine etc.

I thought about it and wondered if perhaps the bent sections (kinks) were causing too much backpressure, so I unbolted the exhaust before the bent sections. I also disconnected the battery and pulled the efi fuse to reset the ecu. I waited about 10 minutes and plugged it all back in and started her up (exhaust still disconnected before the bent sections). Same problem.

I had suspicions that bad cats may have been the cause for the O2 sensor CEL codes I had before, and now I'm wondering if driving her for that little bit after the accident just totally ruined my cats and possibly the O2 sensors, causing what I think is limp mode. What's weird is that there are no CEL codes now???
