Hello all, I just got a 1998 SC300 with 175K miles. have any of you guys done a full engine and transmission rebuild? what did you pay? what was the experience like overall? if anyone is in the seattle area any shop recomendations?
Thank you!
I got a factory manual SHELL sitting on teins, s200 seats, AN fuel lines all pedals are there and I bought the car for $650. There’s a stock auto non running s13 missing all glass for sale for 1600,I’ve had 2 s 13 AND I wanted another but I need some one to tell me if I’m being stupid about the trade. I asked him to send me gas tank pics and if it’s rusted than I’m not doing it but am I being dumb about this? Pic of my sc
Can anyone tell if the ecu looks bad or not, I don’t really see anything near the capacitors and the only thing I see is some black stuff in between the left pair of 3 rectangles below the capacitors.
I wanna lower my car a bit nothing crazy I daily my sc300 I been hearing mixed reviews about each brand saying one is better than the others but I need help see which one is more practical? I’m also open on hearing other brands of coils
I recently got a 1992 sc300 with 190000 miles, and it drove fine the first couple of days I had it. I recently noticed a constant stream of white smoke coming out of my exhaust as well as a strong smell of gas. The smoke stays and doesn’t go away, my coolant and oil looks normal and I checked that my power steering acs wasn’t leaking int my intake. I’m starting to think it may be my ecu but was wondering if I should take a look at my spark plugs first, even though they were just replaced. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
The smoke is PB blaster
1993 2jzge non vvti sc300: I’m having a weird sound coming from the exhaust area near my headers and the engine is shaking pretty bad. I’m pulling codes 7 and 8, and even though I cleaned the MAF, the car bogs down when I unplug it. I’ve already done the timing belt and distributor timing, plus I’ve replaced the fuel filter, fuel pump, and hoses, and did the fuel ECU mod. I also did an EGR delete and installed a new distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs, and coils. The car bogs down whenever I step on the pedal, but my acceleration cable is also loose af. Any ideas?

Went to take my 00 1jzgte vvti 5Speed Soarer out for a spin and everytime I get on throttle it starts cutting in and out pretty hard, runs perfect when not on throttle. Idles good, no weird smoke or sounds besides the “sputter” when on the throttle. Any ideas of where to look would be appreciated.
Boost gauge hits full boost eventually it just struggles to get there, looked over all the vacuum lines and not noticing anything out of the ordinary.
I have a hose that is leaking but idk where it goes and was wondering how i can fix it or if its even that big of a deal. My car hasn't had over heating problems or anything that I could think of being related to this
