Remove the bulb and drive the car until you find the culprit, problem solved.

I finally did the door popping fix mod on my 96 SC400. I should have done this months ago, and I would have avoided the door and fender having lots of chipped paint and a dent. Now I need to order some touch-up to avoid rust. The passenger door finally opens without a problem!

I also replaced my bleeding climate control unit with a newer one that works and lights up perfect. While I had the console out, I also plastidipped it, and it looks perfect with my black interior. Also should have done this a while ago.

Seafoamed it. Changed spark plugs, wires, oil and oil filter. At 127K I pulled the original wires and plugs out of the car, it was running great though, just preventative maintenance. Now gotta get the vacuum out, then Lexol it, and wash it for the week.

Took the 400 to the track last night to get a baseline. As of this moment the car has BFI, otherwise bone stock, tires, weight, interior and even the full size spare. Mind you here in SW Missouri it's been 98-102 degrees.

The slowest car I've ever owned lol.. That said, I have no doubt when I go back in October with just lower rear tire pressure I'll break a 14 time..

Started the body work, have to take 200k worth of western Pa. out of it. Got to give it credit tho it's in pretty good shape considering all. Chevy would be in the scrap yard by now. Also putting new front hub & bearing in drivers side & Pa inspection. Taking pics as I go & someday I'll get them all posted. 96 SC400 Blue Indigo Pearl.

Default Refinished Wood Panels

Had my wood panels refinished... I had my paint shop paint these black and clear them. Tried to have a wood craftsman do the work but he stated that since it gets so hot in the car normal wood finishes would break down over time and recommended an automotive exterior clearcoat. So here they are..they look awesome now.
