ok im kinda new to sc's, but when i research parts most of the time parts are applicable for 92-96 sc300, wouldnt it work for 97 still cuz its non-vvti? thanks

 

Depends on what "parts" you're talking about - ex. the 97+ has a slightly different body, so replacement body parts or aftermarket bodykits won't fit. Engine/powertrain wise, I think parts for the 92-96 will work. Somebody chime in and set me straight, if need be.

 

check the FAQ at www.intellexual.net

very good info

 

Whoops... shoulda mentioned that... good call.

 

In 97.5 they got the VVTi engine. I am not sure when they discontinued the 5 speed SC300, there is a person on this board that claims he has 1997 VVTi 5 speed SC300.

Hopefully you don't think everything on that site is 100% correct. For example, he wrote the 1/4 mile time for stock SC300 5 speed is 15.4 sec. In reality it's more like 15.2.

Most of the information is not official but collected; therefore, don't be afraid to question a few things.

WTF!?! I have a '93 SC3 auto and ran 13.??? on a 1/8mi track @ 64.???mph! Granted I have engine issues, but... 15.2 are Eclipse/Talon/Laser turbo type numbers - I know the the Talon TSi runs 15.1, bone stock. Our cars weigh a lot more, too.

 

Kevin (lexcoupe) got 15.2. Other than him, others also said they ran that speed.

That's hella quick... I've heard/seen people on here say that our cars are slow unless you mod them. Well, if you're used to Corvettes or Camaro Z28s w/the 6 speed then yes they are. Compared to other imported cars, they definately hold their ground, though.

 

90% of the parts on all SC are interchangeable on each car of different year.
