Lexus SC400 Drift Build. Ep.49 - Installing BC Racing BR Coilovers feat. 802 Garage

[@FullySpooled]

I'm currently out of the country working on a job for a few weeks, but I wanted to make sure I got this episode edited and uploaded. More vids to come as soon as I get back! Feeling good about the progress here. It's been a long time coming.

[@nelsonramos2218]

We Neee you back brother, your videos are awesome👍

[@bennyfactor]

Yes! It moves. Can't tell you how jealous I am of your suspension fasteners that aren't utterly caked in rust though.

[@FullySpooled]

Definitely a huge reason to be a car enthusiast in SoCal. I have worked on cars on the east coast when I lived there and the rust is never fun to deal with.

[@802Garage]

SAAAME!

[@smoke4353]

This is such an underrated channel hands down. So much work and effort and a even bigger reward 👌🏽

[@FullySpooled]

I appreciate the kind words.

[@alexfrench8142]

Very happy

[@shottyshot]

Can't wait to see this on the road bro!!!

[@FullySpooled]

Me too. Just needs a few more small things and it'll be ready.

[@riyazbigfudge]

Congratulations for both your marriage and the Lexus. The car looks great!

[@FullySpooled]

Thank you! It's been a good month.

[@brandon151120]

The car has come so far almost there

[@FullySpooled]

Getting there for sure. Just a few more projects to take care of before the first track day.

[@jovantorres4709]

My favorite video so far 👍🏽👍🏽

[@eencizo]

Hell yeah man! Way to go

[@FullySpooled]

eencizo thanks!

[@seamandemon1913]

Finally glad to see it on the ground moving. I still remember running into this channel years ago trying to take tints off my used car i had just bought.

[@CarsSimplified]

Victory! Glad to see progress again!

[@FullySpooled]

Thanks Stephen. Progress is slow but at least it's happening. I still have to fabricate the exhaust and take care of some other smaller things before I can take it to the track.

[@Azletrack]

i get weenie happy when u make video

[@Azletrack]

im arect

[@FullySpooled]

@@Azletrack Aren't we all.

[@Eric_492]

Your vids make me fall in love with my SC400 over and over again. Great work!!!

[@Hunter-qq4jn]

Wow dude great work glad to see this thing, “Done”👏🏻

[@FullySpooled]

"Done" is accurate. There's always more to do for sure.

[@blackwellm23]

so Happy for you!!!

[@FullySpooled]

Thanks!

[@blackwellm23]

@@FullySpooled its funny you got this video up. I just ordered my drivetrain stuff so i can finally get my car moving

[@FullySpooled]

@@blackwellm23 Nice! Good timing.

[@redpillin33]

Woah this is great to see somebody building an sc400. I just bought my 1993 sc400 a few months back and I've been debating selling it. After hearing that LS fire up in your SC you may have changed my mind! If you've got a drivers side door panel laying around HIT ME UP!

[@FullySpooled]

http_logan I have the interior door panels still, but they are trashed. Pretty much the entire interior was ruined when I bought the car. It’s definitely been a learning experience getting the LS swapped. The 1uz is a great option though too.

[@redpillin33]

Fully Spooled I’m actually daily driving my SC at the moment, with the 1uz of course. I’m just itching for more power!Looking deeper into it I’m finding it a hard time to get power out of the 1uz on a budget.

[@pondy-89]

Love the channel! Been following sence the beginning, this has been a help inspiring me to ls swap my 92 sc400

[@FullySpooled]

Zackary Pond thanks man. If I’m inspiring anyone I’ll take it.

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

Thank God your ok Arron . I have a new surprise coming soon in my car family. Those are fine springs there man lol great video

[@FullySpooled]

Thanks man! Yes Aaron is fine. He has a lot of updates on his Instagram from his road trip, and I assume several dozen hours of footage to cut together into episodes.

[@802Garage]

Literally 1,000 video clips.

[@Itsme-mx5tl]

Jeff you definitely need a turbo on that thing, put an s480 on it and go smoke 90% of cars on the road. I am just waiting for my dual catch cans to arrive and will start diving my boosted SC. I took it around the block, on just WG spring #8 it's a straight tire fryer

[@FullySpooled]

The turbo will be coming eventually. I need to get this thing track worthy and bulletproof before I start adding boost. It is definitely happening though.

[@jrally]

Congrats on the milestone, always a satisfying part of any good car project !!

[@FullySpooled]

Hugely satisfying. I'm more shocked that nothing is falling off the car or leaking. We'll see how the first track day goes...

[@IOwnCalculus]

Hell yes. Mine does the same shit whenever it kills a battery, completely forgets how to start and idle. I've taken to just keeping it on a tender so I deal with that problem far less often.

[@FullySpooled]

IOwnCalculus I need to figure out how to wire the PCM so it doesn’t lose its memory when I hit the kill switch. Right now it cuts power to the PCM as well as the ignition. Shouldn’t be too hard to wire up, I just need to get back into wiring mode.

[@IOwnCalculus]

@@FullySpooled Oh yeah, forgot that yours is set up that way. I wonder if there's any way to edit the base parameters in HPtuners. I should really spend some more time in that.

[@NeilABullock]

This is my new favorite crossover episode. It’s basically like “Avengers” with substantially less Scarlett Johansson.

[@FullySpooled]

Neil Bullock wait so this episode would be worse if I could get ScarJo?

[@802Garage]

Are we not pretty enough for you?

[@lamarthompkins9929]

Congratulations 😎👍

[@FullySpooled]

Thanks!

[@hjlam1]

Can't wait to see it get out of the driveway. When do we get a series for the Bricklin?

[@FullySpooled]

Henry Lam when I win the lottery! Any day now...

[@RichieAsmus]

Congratulations Jeff! Been following the build since you started the SA thread.

[@802Garage]

YEEESSS! Now we just need to see the first burnout and first skid. :P Can't wait for more when you get back from your trip!

[@FullySpooled]

Very poorly timed business trip. I have the exhaust tubing at home just waiting for me to get back. Thanks again for appearing in two videos while you were in town - it was great having you! I'll have to come to the 802 next to pat Nava's head and work on some rusty DSMs.

[@CarsSimplified]

Dude, you comment on so many videos! =P

[@802Garage]

@@CarsSimplified Hahaha.

[@christophercasale7961]

Hell yeah dude!

[@Tony-112]

I know this is late, but put planks of wood under the front wheels and drive up them to get more clearance 👍👌 Also it looks good like that, almost factory looking

[@dumbboatproject]

you need to slam it down more and add more camber like 45 degrees of camber. STANCE!

[@FullySpooled]

I mean, I could. The coilovers aren't even a quarter of the way down the sleeve and I already can't fit a jack under the car.

[@revmatchtv]

When are we doing drifting? I thought I commented on this before but I can't find it, so here's another view!

[@LynnTwinCustoms513]

I know that feeling of a car sitting 3yrs! Wait for your first real "test" drive your conscience will be thinking of every nut and bolt like did I torque everything right, is it falling apart, what was that noise 🤔 Lol Awesome car ready to see it roasting some rubber!

[@FullySpooled]

Yeah I'm terrified that the first time on the track I'll spit the engine out the bottom of the car or motor oil will magically spray out of the dash or something. One step at a time.

[@LynnTwinCustoms513]

Best of luck to you! Sounds like it runs smooth after it relearned ofcourse.

[@ioanndubovoy5055]

i just found out about this project you doing two weeks ago, i am putting roll cage here in two weeks into my 1992 SC400

[@FullySpooled]

Ioann Dubovoy nice! I have that planned after I get some seat time on the track.

[@SpachsGarage]

Sweet content guys, your going places for sure, keep it up!

[@FullySpooled]

Thanks!

[@RichardWeapons]

So satisfying seeing the car get washed. Lol

[@FullySpooled]

It needed it BADLY. The paint is still a cheap Maaco style repsray, so it will need a full paint rework before it looks properly good.

[@retrolu1]

keep going man, I'm really enjoying your channel

[@mash3749]

Did you adjust these out of the box?

[@Tim.shpiruk]

What spring rates for front and rear

[@1988howie]

That one are better than the tein?

[@FullySpooled]

Coilover companies have different levels of quality when it comes to their coilovers. The highest end (and more expensove) Tein coilovers will be better than the lower end (and cheaper) BC Racing coilovers, but when you compare the same "level" coilovers, BC Racing tends to have better reviews. These were $995 shipped and so far have been excellent quality parts.

[@1988howie]

@@FullySpooled i got it! Thank you so much! Keep like that

[@jameswells7754]

What’s the rims and tires size on your car?

[@FullySpooled]

Those are 17x8 +35 Enkei wheels from an Evo 8 with 235/45/17 tires. You can fit 245s on 8" wide wheels, but I will be upgrading to some 18x10" wheels fairly soon.

[@FullySpooled]

I can't see to find your comment about wheel spacers, but yes I have 25mm spacers on the front in order to clear the UCA and LCA with the modded knuckles. The wheels in this specific episode though have only 20mm spacers up front.

[@jameswells7754]

Fully Spooled okay thank you! Your channel is pretty great btw

[@FullySpooled]

James Wells thanks!

[@marioluigi6631]

I really appreciate all the videos from this build but who replaces a 1uz with an LS hahahaha

[@FullySpooled]

I had an LS and a T56 and was looking for a chassis to put them in. I just happened to find an SC400 for $500. This has been covered :)

[@lucusss4]

Sooooooo ugggghhhmmmmm when can we set you send it?

[@FullySpooled]

I have to fabricate an exhaust, install my gauge cluster, and weld/lock the diff. Really not all that much left before it can hit the track.

[@lucusss4]

Fully Spooled I'm so pumped cuz you actually built this car from the ground up and I've been thinking about building the same car and your videos have helped with a lot of things I've been stumped on.

[@FullySpooled]

lucus DeBellis hey glad I can help. I really think building a car from the ground up is the way to go. That way you know every nut and bolt yourself and you know the best way to maintain and fix it if it breaks.

[@dantelias9530]

Supra is just a hatchback Sc300 dont @ me

[@FullySpooled]

Hah I'm not @ing anything. Close enough.

[@laminator221]

ONLY TOOK 2 YEARS TO MOVE 5 FEET

[@FullySpooled]

laminator221 hey now. It was easily like 12 feet.
