First week in my 92 SC..few Questions/Comments
I've actually had the car for about a month, but I drove it back and forth to work last week and I started again this week.
For those of you that remember, I picked it up for $1000 and haven't done anything to it since, although it definitely needs the steering fixed, etc.
Questions:
1) I want to change the air filter, should I go OEM or is Fram/STP, etc. good enough?
2) I filled it up last week and I figure I'll end up getting 60 or so miles to the first 1/4 or a tank, does this seem normal? It is running rich, I need to change the sensors out, so we'll see. I figured I'd start with the air filter.
3) I know nobody likes the Naki stereo, but so far I do. The passenger rear speaker is out, do you know where I might be able to get one?
Comments:
The car is a blast to drive, although it is a bit scary with the steering all jacked up. I'll start work on that and other things at the end of this month and in February.
I took a picture of my motor. I haven't cleaned it or anything.

As far as ur air filter I would put a k&n in there or do what I did nd put the k&n cone on there and remove the air filter box get a shield. If its burning gas fast then change out the sensors also. check your feul filter nd if it looks like it has never been changed do that to. Just do a full maintenance on the car and it should run really good

I'll probably put a CAI on at some point. Is the fuel filter easy to change and find? Is it a DIY?
The sensors are a bit expensive, also I want to run the codes first to see if they are all bad or just some.
As for the speakers, that makes two, but how can I get a good speaker?

The fuel filter is a DYI. It is located on the driver side by the rear wheel. Juat get the sensors read and it will tell u which one is bad. Most likely it would be only 2 but to save the hassel in the future just change them all lol. As far as speakers kenwood is what I use they are really good

WARNING!!!!! for some reason gas doesnt stop leaking when you change your fuel filter. I learned the hard way when i decided to change it with a full tank of gas leaving me with a tad over 3/4 of a tank when i put that last bit of torque onto my filter.
jack the front of your car and and have under a 1/4 tank if you decide to change it!
otherwise its easy

Thanks! Is do I just drop in some Kenwoods for the Naki's in back? Buy a pair and replace the rear 2?
Also, I called Autozone and they said that they couldn't check the codes because of the year. Can I take it to a Toyota dealer? Where else can I take it? What should I expect to pay?
Is changing the sensors plug and play?

Also, any advice on checking and changing rear brake/night-time-driving lights? Some of them are out, especially the night driving lights (that come on with the headlights).
Thanks
Thanks
