I didn't know those little sway bushing really made a difference...I was thinking of swapping in a better sway altogether (Supra or something)....However, can you describe the better feel after those bushings were installed? Curious...Maybe I will just change out the bushings instead, after all.....

Xir- where did you order you sway bushing set from?

No idea why they called you sir ha I'm guessing you've spent a couple dollars there
I was hoping you'd say Carson Toyota. My dealer is Toyota and Lexus, very overpriced and have difficulites getting anything for my SC. Sadly their are no other dealers in my area.

Makes more sense now since you said you are doing the gated shifter as well. Good luck.

Brand new bulbs for my dashboard.

A few of the bulbs had burnt out after 14 years so the lighting was inconsistent all around. One of my needs is starting to flicker....but that will have to wait to get fixed.

Where else but Ebay.........Emblem too.....come to think about it, I pretty much restored my entire car off Ebay.... I am not big on Ebay but if your patience you can get good deals when bidding......

Comsumer beware alert for Ebay -

Be careful when buying used electronic's and Lexus CD changers off of Ebay...Very shady with those buys and people are usually selling that stuff used for a reason and not one you probably want to hear about...Hit or miss regardless of seller ratings.......

Oh I almost forgot to mention the "Electric supercharger" for $50 and the "turbonator" intake inserts for $50 are by far the best two mod's on the planet and are second to none for huge neck jerking power gains..........

PS. Just Kidding)

xknowonex, you've got the new tail light and sold the old one. You can now tell people more about your good deal ... where you've got them and how much?

I think a nice fitting and good looking after market cup holder would be a very nice addition to our SC's.........Anyone?

Hmm I'm going to need to do that pretty soon. I got a huge golf ball crack from parking near a green on a golf course. Stupid move on my part... it was princess parking though... I gotta remember to resist next time.
