Thanks. Im really happy of how the interior came out. looks better than I thought to be honest.

I made the gauge pod out of a din mount gauge pod, trimmed and lots of fiber glassed/bondo’d to the single din face plate that came with the radio than used black bumper trim paint to match. Took me a few days to make it work but it was well worth it. The wrap is genuine 3m di-noc which I got a big role of for under 40$ off ebay.

Gauge pod I used

Where did you hear that?

I heard it happening to the 2nd Gen GS guys and SC430 guys, but never seen it to 1SC's...

Just from googling around before I bought them, saw a couple people snapped them at the ends. Pretty sure they were all sc's

I added an AUX input to my '92 SC300 stereo. Excellent mod!

Has anyone had to replace their starter TWICE? I had to replace it when the SC was at ~70,000 miles. I'm at ~145,000 miles now and I believe its starting to go bad again. Ugh. Luckily the starter I bought at ~70,000 miles hads a limited lifetime warranty.

Ha Well today, I jacked the car up, trying to figure where my power steering or rack and pinion is leaking from and not having much luck. But I'l be replacing the power steering pump this weekend. It sounds like its failing. and I can hardly steer. Gotta get it fixed before I get surgery on my shoulder.

I read somewhere the broken ones were all from one group manufactured together that came out really brittle.

Smile What I did today

Today I had my AEM EMS installed and did my MAF delete and MAP and AIT install on my stock sc300 so I can do the dizzy delete before I start my NA-T build. Car went from 172whp and 170ftlb to 190whp and 196ftlb. Not bad for just plugging it in and tuning it to run smoothly. Will start my build trend as soon as I can.
