Heh, sorry guys, I thought it was '96 plus. I have a '97, it comes with a grill, side and rear skirts. Makes your car look lower and wider. I recommend doing all that.

Yes, Id like to do the upgrade, but noone from lexussc400.com has responded to my posts or even returned my emails about it, so maybe I'll get it elsewhere (although I still want the Auto Cotoure kit.... hmmmmm)

Back on topic, can we hear some feedback on the Presicion Industries TC, VS the Dragon TC????

Hey EZ,
You've got Mail!

We have been hard at work revamping the site and restructuring the process of order inquiries. Thanks for your patience. If any of you guys need anything check our site or fill out a inquiry form.

Most common OEM part replacements will be posted in our online store and others can be inquired by filling out the form.

Here's a link

be careful of chips. what they do is increase your timing and recalibrate the fuel map. this could mean that you'll run close to lean at some point, probably high rpm's, which isn't a good thing. increased timing may require higher octane fuel or else your knock sensors will erupt (ok they don't erupt but they'll go dead).

Default ECU upgrades

You should use the premium fuel everytime.
I own two gas stations as well in Redondo Beach
and know the variations in octane ratings.
Never use the low or mid with your sc400, it's like working out and eating crap, no point.

Our upgrade only does the timing. The fuel maps run close to lean already.
I have had a air fuel ratio meter and everything has been great for 3 months now.

computer and ECU and Chipping are the LAST thing you want to do - So u make sure they are programmed to all the mods in ur car

That's a computer engineer's view - whtchoo think?
