JDMCelsior, Congrats!/ nice find and seeing it's Christmas, mention to the Misses the Sc a gift from Santa Claus.

 

Alright guys, I am pretty happy with the overall look of the car. There are minor dings here and there, but that's to expect from a 13 year old car. The interior though, is another story. The driver seat is horrible and so is the steering wheel. Thank God Gazi parts out more SC's than anyone I know, so I bought a clean steering wheel and a shifter to go with it.
Mechanically, the car needs some work. When i picked it up the battery was dead, of course. My brother in law (helped me pick it up) helped me jump start the car so I could put it on neutral and be able to roll it. Well, the tow rope snapped, so we ended up needing to jump start the car again so I could just drive it. The car was smoking black like there was no tomorrow. When I stepped on the gas the car would be sluggish, I mean no power at all. It would eventually build up speed but as slow as a turtle. Once I got home I took the battery to Autozone for a recharge. Right after I put the battery back in the car I took it for a test right around the block. Needless to say, the car was full of power and burning tire like a drift car.
Can someone tell me what could have caused this?
Today: I turned the car on again and upon acceleration, the car seems to not rev up like it should and smokes black. Don't know why is doing it, but hopefully it will go away once I tune her up and clean the system out.

anyhow, just wanted to give you guys an update of my newly acquired SC400.

Any tips will be appreciated.

 

Welcome to the club man, hope you enjoy....BTW< does that radio and climate control go back in?

 

the climate control is in, the radio is not. the women that had it before me had an aftermarket radio in and never put the stock one in whenever she got the car repoed. I'm waiting on the pigtails so I can re-intall the nak radio.

 

good to hear...if you dont want the nak, i have an alpine cda 9857 for 200 bucks if you want it....awesome cd player

 

So many 400s poppin' out lately. I think the 300s are gone. No doubt though, I should have got a 300... I got too excited.

 

not bad! interior looks mint.

 

no thanks, I have a cda-9855 and has less than a year of usage. I stopped using it for a while and now it doesn't want to read the cd's. The screen reads like its playing, but no audio. sucks!

weezee: the front seats are crap and so is the steering wheel, but other than that, its pretty decent.

 

nice find, good luck with the car.

 

The '92-'92 year models are great cars, But I think you should've gotten yourself a '95-'00 since those models already have the foglights built in (along with the foglight switch) and don't require any modifications to convert from cornering lights to "pseudo" (fake) foglights...The '95-'96 also have some of the best looking taillamps in my humble opinion...even better than the '97-'00.

 

is it salvaged?
