Does anyone know if its possible to replace the balljoints on an sc400 without replacing the whole control arm? I think mine are stiff and afraid they may break or something causing a wreck. Do I have to replace the whole arm to replace, or can I get away with just replacing the balljoint (and...

Does anyone know of a billet grill replacement for 96 model Lexus SC400s? I don't like that black plastic thing. I think a billet grill there would look nice, but I have not been able to find one online or elsewhere. It looks like a custom job is in order possibly if I can find a place that...

When I'm on Louisiana State Hwy 8 (a secondary road with those ruts left from loads of 18 wheeler trucks traveling it), my car tends to want to pull left sometimes and right other times. The steering wheel stays pretty much straight, but I can feel the car wanting to go left or right. On newer...

Alright, I've been having this problem with my 96 sc400 with 217500 miles on it and I was hoping someone could shine some light on the subject for me. When I'm going less than 30 mph there is this whirring sound that decreases in frequency the slower I go. I can feel the sound through the...

The more I think about it, the more I want to go with a supercharger setup. It has a lot of advantages for my own needs. . . 1. even power distrobution 2. easier to find parts for 3. Easier to mount/bolt on power 4. more reasonably priced Now, the only drawbacks I see are 1. the boost is...

:omfg: OMG!! Take a look at this ebay ad. They claim like 10-50 hp from an electric turbo/supercharger!:lmao: Surely not! Of course, most of the positive replies were from people with cars like the Ford Focus which probably have a pretty restricted intake/exhaust. I doubt they benefitted from...

I like the rims, but they have more of a tucked in factory look to them. Think I need spacer or do y'all think they look OK? I'm of course talking about the rear wheels. I think the front ones are pretty close to the edge already. I like that look that the deep dish give, close to the edge...

I installed a 1.1ghz amd athlon laptop in my car with touchscreen and custom frontend for the OS (I downloaded all the programs from another forum). It runs off windows xp. Lots of other possibilities such as ecu interfacing, gps (I'm going to do this in the near future), and many others. The...

I was looking at the sc430 tt project linked on lextreme's homepage. I noticed that the 430 has front mounted fans. I believe this is ideal b/c it clears up a lot of room b/w the radiator and engine. In my car, there is a lot of wasted space b/w the nose of the car and the radiator and though...

Has anyone had any experience with these extractors: http://rushimports.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=22 The site is Rush Imports and they make these along with other performace upgrades for the sc400 (like the supercharger manifold). Is there a better one for...

How should a factory Lexus SC400 fare against a 99 Mustang V8? I raced a Mustang V8 and the Mustang Whooped my car's tail. Granted the Mustang has a new engine, power programmer, and custom exhaust and intake. I didn't think that it would beat me by so much though. The mustang was about 2 car...

Is it possible to swap a newer 98 - 2000 gated shifter with mine, a 1996 standard shifter? I have an sc400, and the 98 to 00 sc400s and 300s had the same interior exept the shifter was different (and steering wheel). I know it will physically fit, but will it control my transmission gears...

Hi, I'm new to this forum and have a question. Does anyone with an SC400 know about how good the performance of this car should be? I'm trying to compare the performance of my car with 210000 miles on it with others that have low or the same milage on them. Heres the question. . .should my...
