lexus sc 400 Q&A Review

What’s that crackling noise when I turn my car engine off?

This is the perfectly normal sound of an aluminum block engine expanding or contracting during start up or after shutting off. When I first got my 92 Lexus SC 400 in 2002, I had never had any first-hand experience with a modern aluminum block and head engine, and I asked the mechanic the exact same question. Pretty much all modern vehicles have an all aluminum block and head nowadays, very few bother with iron anymore.

I accidentally damaged (big scratch) a 1994 Lexus SC 400 while moving and the car owner is asking for $1,000. Is it reasonable?

It's a 26 year old car, are you kidding? Get the blue book value on the car first. Seriously, that car might only be worth $2500. That's my guesstimate. No matter what though, I'd negotiate that number down. 26 years old! No way. Car values go way down. It's not a rare antique Ferrari.

How much does an ECM for a 1993 Lexus SC 400 cost, and where can I find one?

I assume you mean the main ENGINE Electronic Control Module. Most cars have multiple EMCs, make sure you replace with the exact same part number since there can be multiple ECMs for the same year and model of car (different size engine, different transmission etc). You should be able to find one on Ebay.com or ,Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market, for $100 to $200. There are also places on Ebay that will REPAIR your faulty unit if you are not in a hurry. If the car has an immobilzer system you may need to perform some sort of “pairing” procedure for the engine ECM in order for the car to start. On newer Lexus, you short two pins on the OBD2 connector together then turn key to ON (but not start) and leave for 30 minutes. I’m not sure about 93 Lexus but you can post a question on a Lexus SC 400 enthusiast forum.

Is Lexus considered an elegant-luxury brand?

Elegance is beauty that shows unusual effectiveness and simplicity. It is frequently used as a standard of tastefulness particularly in the areas of visual design, decoration, the sciences, and the aesthetics of mathematics. Elegant things exhibit refined grace and suggest maturity.,Wikipedia I looked up ‘elegant’ to be sure, the harsh lines, the over sized hard angled grill and complicated detail ‘surface development’ tell me they are not elegant. The SC 300 and SC 400 were elegant designs to my eye, the early Lexus sedans also. Since then the overdone styling seems to be aimed at the masses.

What types of cars do software engineers drive?

Over the years I’d owned / driven (not in order) Ferrari 550 Jaguar XK8 TVR Tasmin Ford Escort Estate Ford Escort XR3 Ford Cortina MK1 Ford Cortina MK 2 Estate Ford Escort Van Audi 80 Sport Audi 4 Quattro Lexus LS 400 Lexus SC 400 Toyota Supra MGB MG Metro Scion IQ Saab Turbo 16 Saab Turbo Convertible Lexus LX470 Toyota Land Cruiser VW Rabbit convertible Dodge Ram Charger Ford F250 4x4 Volvo XC70 I currently drive a Subaru Outback 3.6 and also own a Fiat 500 Software engineers are generally well paid and can drive whatever they choose to spend their money on. The high end cars tend to own you in the sense that you are forever worrying about where to park them and you can’t drive them at speed on the road. [I’ve never liked GM products (Saab was not part of GM when I owned them)]

I have a 1992 Lexus SC 400. The car is worth $2000 in its current state and would cost at least that much to fix. Is it worth it? The motor still hums and she can really go.

The term "worth it" is very subjective and opinion based. I know a guy that just paid $3200 for a Pinto wagon. Sure, it's cleaner than a new penny, but I wouldn't have paid $320 for it, let alone $3200. Yet, every day he drive that thing to work grinning from ear to ear. So, in the end, it was worth every penny to him. $2000 to fix your Lexus, I'd have to say no. Too old and too questionable in the future.

Which Lexus model offers manual transmission?

First and second generation IS series had manual transmission as well as automatic. There are also rare SC and ES series with manual transmission as well. Sc 300 Unless of course for those who decide to convert their automatic tranny to manual LS 400 Image source: Google

What is the best car that Lexus has ever made?

This one: ,The 1993–1995 SC300 5-speed This was a $35k car that drove as well as some $125k cars at the time. It’s the luxury grand touring coupe that the Jaguar XJ-S should have been, living up to the Jaguar motto of “Grace, Space, and Pace” far better than 1990s Jags themselves. The design is easily in the Hall of Fame of timelessly beautiful Japanese designs, and it was instantly an object of desire. You hear a lot of references to the “Lexus coupe” in hip-hop songs of its day. Lexus was 3 years into the launch of the brand in the US, and this car did a ,lot, to establish Lexus as true luxury brand. Just for comparison, look at what it competed against in its day: Infinity I30 Next to that, the Lexus SC was science-fiction futuristic. And it differed from Lexus’ first engineering marvel, the 1990 LS400, in that it resembled nothing else. The LS400 was, at the time, considered to be a visual copycat of Mercedes sedans. The SC300/400, though, owed none of its styling cues to any prior car - a true, stylish original that cemented Lexus’ reputation as a luxury brand. In 1990 the Infiniti Q45 and Lexus LS400 sedans were co-equals, the best that their respective companies could engineer. The SC is where Lexus and Infiniti’s brand images diverged, establishing a Lexus lead that Infiniti has still not overcome 25 years later. The SC300 shared a platform with the legendary 4th-gen Toyota Supra, and had the similarly celebrated 2JZ inline six-cylinder motor. This motor became famous for its durability. Its stoutness also meant that it could generate huge power levels when turbocharged. In stock form it was only 230 horsepower, but, with a very broad torque curve and a high redline, it made the SC300 a genuinely fast car by the standards of the day. The very rare 5-speed variant has a precise shift feel and perfectly-weighted clutch. It allows the driver to use all the revs that this turbine-smooth inline-six will deliver, and put the six-cylinder version on par with the 8-cylinder SC400 version from 0–60. It’s one of those rare cars that is all-day comfortable, yet will do the work of a sports car when you push it. It was historically significant for Toyota, and for Japanese automaking generally. Unfortunately, Lexus decided to follow it up with the execrable SC430 hardtop convertible, a.k.a “The Palm Springs Potato.” That 2nd-gen car was a caricature of every poor design trope of the early 2000s. It managed to be as uncomfortable as a sports car, yet handle poorly - the inverse of the original SC’s virtues. BBC’s Top Gear dubbed it “The Worst Car In The World” Unsurprisingly, it never sold as well as the original SC300/SC400, and Lexus didn’t revisit the luxury coupe segment until it introduced the LC500 in 2017.

You just install a used engine on your Lexus SC 400. Why is it when you put it on park or drive the car accelerate on and off?

The translation of your question sucks. I’m gonna guess that the idle fluctuates, and that can be caused by a vacuum leak or a failing idle air control valve. If you did the install yourself, get ahold of a scan tool for diagnosis, or take it to a shop. Good luck.

What does meaning give directions to human life?

Meaning can suggest several things. As to neurolinguistic programming the word mean can be divided in many ways. Like the meaning of purpose. Or the mathematical mean. Or the action of being mean. It shares the etymological root of mind. As to direction my father who is someone I follow blindly and with eyes I see he told me that the direction is in the car. This ties into many other things that he said about cars. Like he told me when I drive to always drive defensively. The car’s bumpers are called los defensores in Spanish which is our native tongue. He also told me that in order for me to have a girlfriend I need a car. He said that doing something a certain way to try to accomplish a certain something is wrong so I either do something wrong or not do it or I apply this truth to everything else that he didn’t tell me. I have told him About the vehicle I want which is a Lexus SC either four hundred or three hundred. He told me to choose the 400. He’s taught me that when washing a car, to begin at the top and finish with the bottom because the car is dirtiest at the bottom. But he has also told me that I should always start with the feet. He once asked me if I had a drivers license and I told him that I didn’t and he told me not to get one because then I will have to pay for insurance. He’s also shown me Rain-X, police scanner, AAA card, GPS with English woman voice, and my mom has shown me Armor All. My father also explained to me that the agency of their Honda stole the car because he proved to them by marking the bolts that they were not changing the oil, so he confronted them.
