New ride
Just bought a 1993 Sc 400 today flew to texas and drove it home, a very nice car , clean one owner trade in car, and a excellent service record on the vechicle with a clean car fax to.
Now for some tech question, what is everything currently offered for external parts to put on for more horsepower? Seems like the Sc300 have a bunch of stuff while the Sc 400's are limited.
Thats fine my wallet is ready to spend i just need to know what is out there for me.And this seems to be the place to ask. By the way the section on headers is there any available now or in the near future? Man i will tell us this as tight as the room is down there, without yanking the motor out to do it would be a miracle.
I would appreciate the feedback from the people on this subject, seems like your all ahead of the ga
me on this cars just trying to catch up!
Currently a owner of a 2004 V8, 4 wheel drive dcab tundra, only mods currently are high performance filter and Borla cat back sounds good. Was told the only other current part for more horse was Headers, am work on this now!!!!!!!!!!!
Also a 1993 Lexus Sc 400 Black with grey leather interior fully loaded but bare stock .Need help with this one!!!!!!!
And for sale now a good condition inside and out a 1986.5 Supra 5-speed non turbo , fully loaded. with alot of stuff done to make it a mechanically sound car 130,000 miles on it . Any one interested e-mail and i will glady give the owner history, mechanical history and whatnot. Price asking for the car I believe i have around low 3 thousand plus range invested. Price is negoitable!

Congrats on the new ride.
I also flew to Texas and drove home, saved a bundle over what(few cars) I found locally.
I'm about at the limit of practical mods with my car; Piggyback ECU(Unichip);cleaned up intake ports a bit, cleaned up MAF also(eliminated blunt edges,trimmed gasket); added a huge K&N filter;eliminated first muffler and "Y"pipe, added crossover; increased fuel pressure a bit. To keep the car from bouncing off the road, I installed a used Supra Twin Turbo suspension setup(shocks,springs,rear swaybar), and some 17X9.5, 17X8 rims. Car is balanced now, MUCH better than when I got it, and only needs the Supra big brakes to be installed to keep up with the 320 or so hp that the car now produces.
The rest is maintenance/tuneup.
The outer limits of tuning have been visited by a few here, forced induction by way of twn turbos, or roots, and centrifigal superchargers, a practical limits for a stock engine are just under 450hp with turbos, right around 400hp with a blower.
Beware that if the local prices for your car are higher(likely) than you paid for the car in Texas, you'll be asked to pay taxes on a higher amount than you actually paid, happened to me in WA.
I had a friend write a repair estimate to de-value the car a bit, but still had to pay taxes on an extra $2K.

Question,
On ebaymotors right now there is a 1995 Lexus Sc400 for sale. The car is red with tan leather interior, fully loaded with everything in it , mint condition inside and out , newer tires and nice rims on it. Only one current owner for the vechicle, has excellent service to it with a clean carfax to. It has only 65,656 miles on it witch is low and garage seen know snow at least thats what she says?
Question with this info and more to be shown in pictures and info on the website, they are asking $12,000 or best offer, what price as best offer would make this car and real deal.
And not sure i would rather have my 1993 sc 400 black with grey leather or this one?
