No one is immune. These suppliers ship everyone the same blanks to be etched into what they are supposed to fit. If I thought I could find a better LCD than OEM from a supplier in HK I'd have burned them long ago. I just don't trust blank LCD's enough to put myself in that position.

A few "must reads" for SC owners:
TT Brake Upgrade
Tilt Steering Wheel Repair
Power Steering Pump Rebuild
Nak/Pioneer Hack
Weight Reduction Thread
Seat Net Fix
Brake Booster Vacuum Line
Sc400 Koyo Radiator Install
As well as all the other info on both Intellexual.net and Planet Soarer

NEWB Question!!!
- Replace engine and transmission mounts. I don't care what your mileage is, do it and you'll instantly feel like you have a brand new car. Interior cabin noise and vibration reduced by 95% no matter what it is at right now. Your SC should be nearly silent while driving.

WOW . no way around that $200 for those books. i wish i could get the books for cheaper! as for the newb check list i would recommend that anyone buying a sc, for the first time or not, not buy one that was in an accident unless its for parts. i think that its a well bulit car, but a little touchy on the electronics if you dont know what your doing. my 2cents

OLT or any other mods are you able to delete posts made in a thread? I was just thinking we could get rid of all this semi unrelated things in here....Then stick it on up. Lol and no I will not let this die, this would help cut down on the number of questions that get asked on this forum.

OEM is the only way to fly.
I gotta call Carson on monday and get some engine and tranny mounts for my other SC.
