Awesome car

[smokinwrench]

I have a 1992 Lexus sc400 for a work car. I drive it 90 miles per day. It has 158,500 miles. Waterpump has been leaking since mid summer, I didn't want to replace it because it is a 10 hour flat rate job. Well it finally went out so I tore it apart yesterday. I had to disassemble the entire front end of the motor. 4 hours later I had it apart and everything cleaned up.

What was amazing is everything is original, waterpump, timing belt, plugs, wires, rotors, caps. The rotors are cracked from the carbon build up being so big on the caps that the rotors hit the caps. Ends of the plug wires are rusted. All of this and I have been averaging 23.7-24.3 mpg since I have bought it. No one has parts and warehouses don't show any on inventory so I have to wait till Monday to see when I can get parts.

Makes me wonder what I will get for mpg after I get it tuned back up, it is already a super fast car and it had parts like this in it.

it should help it

when i got my 94gt stang (back in 2001) it was bone stock down to plugs and wires with 138,000 miles.

after a tune up with 2.73 gears it gave me just over 30 mpg on the highway.....it was great, i could chug along at 80mph at like 1500rpm....lol

I just bought it as a cheap work car. After driving it for a while, I love this car. It is unreal. Drives so dang nice, no wind noise even at 16 years old. Everything electrical works. I have had it up to 145 a few times and still pulling hard not sure how fast it will go. I need a SYKO paint job on it, some nasty skull flames. I got parts ordered today should be here Wednesday.

Lots of the parts say Toyota.
