My SC400 has over 290,000 I believe now. (I keep it on trip mileage so as not to be scared!) It had a tranny put in at 190,000, new lower control arms awhile ago, new steering rack, and a bunch of other stuff before i got it. I put in new lower control arm bushings a few weeks ago, and am in the middle of an audio system swap. (Huge nightmare!). Leather is kinda beat, and I had to recharge the AC a few weeks ago, but the car is still going.

I took this picture in my 97’ SC300 about a month ago.
Does it have enough life in left in it for me to go NA/T?

It's a bra mask. I bought it from ebay. It's like leather black. I only installed the hood piece on. The bumper mask is a bit harder to install because I'll have to remove the gold license plate frame and the holder.

O.L.T. posted an SC's gauge with crazy mileage a little while back (below). Don't no if it can be confirmed true. I hope it is!

BTW tarq3, why must you type that way? It's difficult to read and very annoying.
The cluster is from an SC400 that went until the very number you see and died for good. I had the carfax on the car when I bought the cluster to prove it was all done on one car. (this was a year ago or more). All the backlight and needles were dead. (obviously)

Ah, ok... he bought and installed both pieces, but could never get the hood to close. If you get them both on, I'd be interested in knowing how the fit is.

At noon today my 93 SC300 hit 200K miles! With the original engine and tranny still going well......
She was at 78 K miles 5 years ago when i found her. And been my daily driver every since.
( But planning to retire her soon as my D.D. And make some changes under the hood )

Yeah I , its BEEN TIME ! for new needles.
I've intended to for a while now, but just need to get the motivation to pull it out and send it to OLT ....
When i bought it , the backlight was lit up, But 1/2 of the needles were out and the other 1/2 were flickering .
Now theres one needle left that flickers once about every three months . And the backlight is less than 1/2 lit now too. You cant even see the fuel guage anymore. My C.C. was done by OLT , and soon its gonna be the only light left...
I'll get it done soon though.
