Default My New 95 Blk/Blk 5 SPD and a couple of questions

Hi all,

I have been a member of the Forum under a different name (97whiteSC4).
About 2 months ago I got an offer for my SC400 I couldn't refuse, so I sold it.

Anyway, I just bought a 1995 SC300 5 Speed.
The car is Black, with Black interior and drives awesome.

It has somewhat hight mileage, but it was owned by an old guy, who took awesome care of it.
He gave me a huge stack of receipts showing every maintenance that has been done to this car.
In the last 30,000 miles he replaced things like the alternator, power steering pump, clutch, brakes, engine seals, plugs, timing belt, etc.

This car is awesome!

So far the only things I have done is clean it really well, and installed a 97-00 Spoiler.
I also have the whole Nakamichi stereo system waiting to be installed.

Please see the pics in my gallery below and let me know what you think.

Also, I have a couple of small questions:

1.-What's the Engine RPM for the following speeds in 5th Gear?
60 MPH
70 MPH
80 MPH

2.-What wire should I connect my Spoiler LED wires to?

Thanks!

the spoiler brake light should connect to the wire that's on the right trunk hinge, i believe even those that came without spoiler do have the wire, i believe the only piece that you will need is the on that goes from that plug on the hinge to the spoiler's plug, you can easily make one up from pretty much any 16-14 gauge wire, or you can just buy it from the dealer i guess

congrat's on a rare find
and bump the "Black Onyx Ballers" thread with some pics

What would I need to do on my end?
So, would change 97whiteSC4 to UniqSC?

If so, what would happen to this post?

Thanks for your assistance!

All, thanks for the replies.
Vredniykot, I'll try what you suggest for the spoiler LED.

Mrshabo, those RPM's seem a little high.
Mine gets to 3200 RPM when I'm doing around 85 in 5th gear.
When I'm doing 60 I believe it gets to 2250 or so.

Technics, yes, I did buy this car near Atlanta, GA.

Thanks!
