I just bought a 1992 SC 400 in white and it looks great (hope to post pics later today). I have some small exterior damage on the right rear. It also has the usual issues: dark needles, black climate lcd, leather seats are a bit rough (tear in drivers seat), and my trunk lifters need replaced. 141800 miles and runs great. This car is such a freaking blast. It is going to be a personal challenge to keep to the speed limits. This car handles so well and just wants to go fast.
I am going to fix the climate lcd.
I also want to keep it as original as possible. I am going to use it every day and I think it is going to do great.
I love my new wheels. This site seems to be a great resource. Also the new lexusdrivers.com site is great for anyone who has not been. Definitely check it out. Found great service history on my car and looks like they are shipping me an owners manual at no cost to me.

I purchased a 95 sc400 black on black clean title but has some major exterior cosmetic damage with clean interior and 167k miles on it. Mechanically sound overall.
It's going into the shop for a complete rework of the body and two stage paint job. Should take about 5 weeks or so for them to finish it right. Pulling off everything including the windows and then the bodywork and then the paint. I should have a really nice car when they are done. I'll post up pics after.

Hey Guys, I recently talked my dad into a 1992 SC400 with 62k miles. My girlfriend had one 5 years ago and I always thought it was a nice car. When my dad told me he was looking for a new daily driver I thought this would fit the bill. Then I came across a low milage one owner for him. I just wanted to join here to find out everything I can for him. It has some small problems that seem to be the common problems on these. I think its going to be a great car though. Thank you for all the future help. Pics to come.

Hi my name is Blue and I am a proud owner of a 95 SC400, and I am complete Lexus Virgin although this is my second SC. I attached a pic of my 96 in which I had no issues with at all and hating that I sold it. But money got tight, I put the car on craigslist and sold it in 4 hours.
Anyways any tech help I can get would be greatful. I have a 98 front bumper, and have access to the entire kit, if your interested let me know. A buddy of mine has a complete oem 98 kit, besides the one I am buying from him.
My problem is my car is sputtering like either I am running bad gas which isnt the case or the plugs and wires are bad, and thats not the case either. It cranks right up on a cold start,so I do not think its the fuel pump or filter, but sometimes it begins to sputter and almost backfire and I dont know what that is. I have no check engine light or nothing to indicate I have an internal problem. If any of you guys got an answer for me please let me know.
Peace and Blessings,
Blue

Hey y'all. My name's Josh and I've been driving a silver '99 SC300 off and on since April of '10. It used to be my dad's, then I sold my beautiful 4Runner, and got to drive the SC for a while until I got a new car. Got a Saab 9-5, engine locked up same night as purchase, got my money back and drove the SC again for a few weeks until I got a '97 BMW M3 that was blacked out and was destined to be a track car, but guy didn't have enough time. Maintenance and issues left over from a wreck two owners before me has killed my wallet, so the SC became mine around last September. Only a few things have been done, and those are the headlights (which my father messed up because they have no direction and we had to install low-intensity bulbs into the high-beam lights, simply so I can see when driving at night), and wheels. I'll get some pictures later, since we've had severe storms and probably are still gonna have a few. Anyway, glad to be here and I hope to learn quite a bit more about this car from you guys.

Im Zach, ive had my Black 93' Sc300 for 6 months now, and now im in the mood for some minor mods. Maybe even some major mods. I live in Greensboro, NC and all of the sc's around here are pretty regular, or on 24's.... soo i have changed up my look. When i got the car it had some ugly 17" rims on it, awesome tint, aftermarket tail lights, and stock everything else. Its automatic, which sucks, and its non-turbo. So far, i got some blacked out tail, lights, fog lights, HID head lights, and some 18" drag DR-34. I bought a jdm spoiler that i want to mount soon, and i would like to lower the car dramatically. If anyone could give me advice on converting to 5 speed that would be great.
