Sorry to hear about your situation dude....

I'm actually going from an SC4 to an SC3....

I loved my 92 400....it just won't die.....and at over 296K, it's still running strong....

Hopefully the SC3 can show me the same love....

Looks like your list is just a tad longer than mine....I'm trying to keep my next project under wraps as much as I can....

Goodluck with the new whip

the tt single exhaust will fit but you will need to elongate the midpipe or have an extension pipe made. im not sure about the tie rods tho sorry.

Its like saying:

"I hate my stupid Acura '99 1.7 EL. I would MUCH rather have a '99 Civic Si"

Same car, different engine/tranny

typically the 400s will outlast the 300s due to the motor working less... But, different cars for different people! I personally liek the 400 because of the stock power and sound

It's still an SC. 300 or 400. Just that the 400 is more luxurious. If you want a "tuner car" then stay with the 5spd 300. I mean, that's the reason why Lexus came out with the 300 in the first place.
