hi everybody
ive been here for awhile but didnt speak lacking of a sc just wanted to just browsing and seeing whats what.anyway i just bought a dark green 93 300 and let me tell you..im in love!but there's a few things bothering me with it that i know are simple.so please if you guys arent too busy just throw out some places to shop for the car because.....its a lexus $#!^


ok tell me if you guys think it needs all the flushings(mtr,diff,trn)
i ease into the 2nd,3rd gear like it jumps into gear (im auto) trans flush?
my car eats heller gas and i know it needs a tune up but is there any other know reason?
my rotors squeal and that is the one thing on a car i can not stand! are the ones on ebay ok?
anything i can throw on for some good power i know the answers no but please!

heres a rundown
ex nissan guy (300z)
want to do my swap around march,june?i want it finished so i can enjoy the whole summer!
sorry guys this post is worthless without pics but ill get some sooner or later

more noob questions dont say search

do the wheel wells need to be cut for lets say 19x 9.5 or 10
is a supra rear end really neccesary?
does the ect switch drain more gas?or o/d?
heres some pics i got from the last owner just until i can get my own up!








well ive been waiting for that for awhile now so excuse the longness
p.s.whoever owns the green sc with those deep *** gold and chrome lip.........................................OMG MAN YOUR CAR IS SEX! i think his plate was rhdsux or somethin
ill end up posting most of the time me beig a noob and all lol later guys!

 

Welcome! Nice car!!


Might as well do this

Might as well do this too

Might need a tune up and a new fuel pump

To start off you may just want to get some cheap vented rotors from Irotors.com with some axxess pads.. about $300


Depends how low you go, but more than likely YES

no, not at all, but it's nice to have (though I don't have one)!

not the switch itself, but the what it does so yes...



Welcome Again!

 

Welcome! Where in IL are you? The car looks good. I was gonna pick this car up for a project car but I guess you bought it.

 

Do a general tuneup. Replace fluids, spark plugs, spark plug wires, rotor, and cap, etc. This will help with gas milage and you will gain some lost power. Unfortunetly the stock brakes don't belong on the car so even if you do a complete brake job you will see the problem come back sooner than later... and getting slotted or cross drilled rotors is a waste of money. You can get Supra rear end if you want LSD but there are other options I think.

Most modifications other than turbo or supercharger are a waste of money. If you think otherwise you need to stop kidding yourself.

Welcome to the club.

sssseeeeeeeaaaaaarrrrrrrrcccccchhhhhhhhhhh

 

LOL!!! thats funny as hell o well you would have gotten jipped the radio is a joke and the speakers suck! plus it doesnt seem to go anywhere if the car isnt warmed up like ill give it full throttle and it wont move very fast.

 

its because the motors have aluminum internals, ultra strong and of decent weight but until the car is warm the compression numbers low and thus make little power. for the life of your car your best not to floor it until the car is fully warm nor take it over 3k rpm for that matter for lubrication purposes.

 

city of schaumpton!!

schaumburg by woodfield mall

 

now that was helpful thanks!
i thought its maybe because the last owner put on this really tacky intake like an autozone kind YUCK!
ANOTHER QUICK QUESTION AND IM DONE!!

lets say im impatient and........wanna just get the exhaust now(sc300 exhaust like a blitz or sumtin?) would i still be able to have it once i put the gte in?

thanks guys for all the info. i know i shoulda searched but then how the hell was i supposed to meet you all. thanks really!!!!!!!!!

soner or later ill be putting in a gte and ima gonna be the worst pic ***** ever!!!! if i could only describe how much i love this damn car. i have wanted a supra since i was 11 and let me tell you that damn movie ruined all of that!!! but hey i mean the only thing better than a supra is a sc with a supra motor(my opinion)

p.s
is it just me or is it than when that damn movie came out supra prices went through the roof?
what happened to the days wen the n/a's were like 8grand aight im done rambling sorry this is the second forum ive been on in my life (really)


later
-lv

 

no prob. i agree i like the sc better than the supra since it is more comfortable and is much more refined, dont get me wrong tho id take a tt anyday.

to answer your question, yes you can get your exhaust now and it will work with the gte. good luck with the car.

 

thanks
ummm did you mean that the brakes suck in general on the car and if yes what should i do big brakes(please say no) or just something else. im not the type to sit here and be like yea yea i knew that because im noob as hell with this kinda car. i WAS a nissan freak but always loved toyota.i knew the mod question was a no lol.
cap means distrubitor cap right?

 

one more question and i think im done
i plan on doing the gte swap relatively soon but my motor only has 75k on it if i were to buy the parts to turbo it for now what would i need besides the obvious things like the turbo and etc.
i would hate to just waste a motor id rather blow it up before i do that.so i would only realy just belosing money on the mani right or wrong. i dont want any ridculous turbos just enough to please me.

ALL SUPRA PARTS WANTED!!!!!!!
i feel like this guy i just cant wait
sorry

 

brakes do sux... sooner or later the front brakes will lock up on you. when that does happen i suggest getting either TT brakes or even LS brakes.

oh on more thing welcome to CL good to see another chicago/suburb lexus owner on here.

 

75k isnt bad at all to turbo imo. just make sure you replace all the seals, headgasket, etc.... if your ever planing to do na-t you should check out this site it if you havent already it will help you alot.
