Year:1992 Mileage:195000
Location:

Melbourne, Florida, United States

Melbourne, Florida, United States

It's a blast to drive 

So - Grip Industries Swapped 1JZ-GTE VVTI with fully working Auto, working everything except A/C.

12X,XXX miles on the shell, and from what I was told about 40k kilometers on the donor motor.  Not a drop of oil leaked, and no issues except the rear end wanting to kick out and rubber being left more often than not.

The Good:  The swap obviously, new body panels on the outside so only one dent and it's a small one in the back passenger side corner, and a big scratch in the spoiler on the drivers side.  
New Rims - 18x9 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear XXR's in the black chrome variety.  
New BBK on the front in excellent condition - actually all the brakes are perfect.
New Toyos on the front with a stretch, Fairly new 265's on the rear that sit perfect in the wheel wells.
New - Well 4500 miles on them now Megan Race coilovers
New 4 Wheel Alignment
TRD Seats fabbed up and thrown in - 
Lots of Extra Parts - LOTS 3 Differentials, shaft for R154, 3 door cards, interior pieces out the wazoo extra Automatic Transmission.
HKS SSQV
Big intercooler
Blitz Boost Controller - control everything from gain, boost, overboost etc.
Turbo Guage
AFC Neo - the better one - not sure
Meth kit in the car, not hooked up but would take a few minutes to get it hooked up.
3 inch turbo back to Megan Can - all done by Grip


The Bad:
She needs front bumper, body panel alignment, and paint.  I have it good enough to be legal and was going to kit it and plasticoat it.  The front half of the car is plastidipped right now and has lines, but this is temporary.  new panels underneath:)
A/C does not work - I have a dryer for it, and it needs a charge, one of the A/C controllers I have works - I just don't have it in right now it's in the parts pile that comes with the car:)
Too much Power - seriously - it overwhelms the tires easily - it currently has the 4.27's with Open diff right now, I just got a 4.08 and welded it but haven't put it in, and I have a 3.92 open diff I was going to put a LSD in all go wiht the car.  If you buy, we will fill up the back seat, the trunk - where the battery is mounted;-) And the passenger seat for your drive to leave the location.
Interior is bad, and stereo doesn't work.  It had a working stereo but in the process of making it look better, I took it out and put the stock one back in, now it doesn't' work.  I don't care, exhaust and BOV sound too good to quiet out.
Front rim got a curb mark, it's pretty deep on it, tires and rims had been mounted seriously 15 miles and didn't hit a curb, but a piece of the curb was broke off and in the road:/


I know it doesn't look like much - but it's SOOOOoooo close to being done.  A quick body panel alignment and paint job and she's Good to GO.  Interior pieces are there and can be repaired, it will need carpet I think, but you may be able to save it.

My time has been put on getting it together and getting it drivable, not much has been put into Fun factor.  I would jump in the car and drive it to Cali right now - I have no doubt about it running great, I have put 3500 miles on it in the last few months.

Auction is starting below what I want, so hoping it goes up, but for this price, you are getting an absolute Steal on this Swapped tagged and Legal 1JZ.

Lexus' Detroit reveal is RC F, will have 460-hp V8

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Yesterday, we brought you the image above, sent out by Lexus, teasing its Detroit Auto Show reveal. At the time, all we knew about the car was that it's a coupe, and falls into the automaker's F performance line. But now, some more details have leaked.
An anonymous tipster passed us a link to this website, which Lexus is using to invite folks to an event at the Detroit show where the new RC F coupe will be revealed. But that same tipster also sent us a scan of the mailed-out invitation, shown at right (click the image to enlarge), which clearly states that the RC F will be powered by a 460-horsepower V8. The invite also says Lexus will show its 2015 RC 350 coupe in Detroit, following its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in November.
We cannot totally verify the authenticity of the scanned invitation, but with a corresponding website live on the web, it all looks pretty legit to us. Stay tuned for more details closer to the RC F's debut in January.

This Lexus hybrid will paint your self-portrait while you drive

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

To encourage better driving habits, some hybrids use leaves or tree graphics to portray how efficient or inefficiently a driver is, but Lexus has come up with a more unique method of relaying this information. For its Art Is Motion campaign, Lexus has equipped a Lexus IS300h with special software that enables the car to paint a portrait of the driver by combining the skills of generative artist Sergio Albiac with specific inputs from the driver.
A regular photograph is uploaded into the system, but the portrait will vary depending on how the car is driven. Using vehicle speed, engine speed and how often the hybrid system is used, the driver "paints" a self-portrait via the software that has cloned Albaic's creative process, which then shows up on the car's center display screen. If the driver is more cautious and maximizes electric driving, the image will be clear (as shown above), but if the driver accelerates heavily, the picture becomes more abstract. Similarly, slower speeds result in "colder" colors while higher speeds use "virulent" colors - perhaps signifying this type of driving isn't healthy for the environment.
For now, Lexus has only created one Art Is Motion IS300h, and it plans to auction off this car in the future. Lexus released three videos, which are all posted below, to show off this car, but there is no additional information yet about the auction.
