1992 Lexus SC300. 1992 1JZGTE soarer engine swap.
I personally built this car (and many more throughout the years) starting back in 2005. Built for the utmost reliability in any condition. Never raced legally or illegally. In the last few years my interests have moved on to other things and unfortunately the car has spent most of the last 5 years sitting in a carport. Built using the best parts available, no chinese rip offs!! The goal of the build was pump gas performance. I don't care what it could do on race gas. It's too fast for me and I keep boost at wastegate (10psi), but on a good 93 octane tune it dynos just over 500whp at 18psi.
Never crashed, wrecked, or salvaged title. Wasn't a "shell" or anything shady. Squeaky clean carfax. I purchased the stock car originally from Raz at IMV films to fund their famous "Vehicular Lunatics" film. I am the 3rd owner the car was originally purchased in south Florida, I have that paperwork in the glove box.
Chassis:
-Imported late 90's SSR Varden Sport Schwartz 3 piece forged rims. Ultra rare period correct rims.
-Koni Yellow shocks
-Factory MKIV TT springs to retain some level of comfort and the ability to drive over speedbumps. Lowered nearly 2in from stock height.
-Cusco Strut tower brace
-LS400 front brake calipers, EBC rotors/pads
-Factory rear brakes to fit 15" Weld racing rims if I ever did want to race it
-Battery relocated to the trunk (Recently new AGM cell)
-New front tires, rear tires 40% but I have matching extras ready to go when these wear out!
Engine:
-Precision PT 74 GTS turbo
-Precision intercooler
-Turbonetics blow off valve
-Tial 44mm wastegate
-Custom made ($1200) equal length 1JZ manifold. Ported and polished. Ceramic coated inside and out.
-550cc low resistance side feed injectors (wire harness modified for low resistance injectors with MKIII Supra resistor)
-2JZGTE headgasket for upgraded rear cylinder cooling
-Twin turbo water passages TIG welded shut to avoid leaks when twins were removed for single
-Custom ordered SARD re-flashed ECU with no speed/boost limiations and custom fuel/ignition map for the single turbo. SAFC2 for fine tuning when boost changes are made. Insanely reliable setup. 18mpg city/25+ highway. Something you can't do with a AEM!
-Griffith MKIV aluminum radiator
-Greddy catch can
-TTE Performance custom spark plug cover
Driveline:
-Automatic Transmission Factory Stage III a340e automatic transmission. Capable of taking the abuse of 8 second 1/4mi passes for years. Bulletproof. Best transmission money can buy. Less than 2 years old and maybe 500 miles on it.
-2500 stall converter
-Factory Torsen LSD
-Two transmission coolers, front mount and radiator mount.
-Factory driveshaft to serve as "weak link" so you don't break axles or rear ends. It has and will twist a driveshaft like a pretzel.
Interior:
-Factory grey interior
-1997 MKIV Black leather front seats
-Toyota Soarer steering wheel
-Sony CDX-GT700HD stereo (hd, ipod, etc)
-3M 15% black tint
Body:
-Repainted in 2009 factory color with DuPont Base/Clear
-1997 front bumper
-Wise "whale tale" rear spoiler (not installed)
-JDM folding mirrors
-JDM side markers
I'm sure there's a lot more I forgot.
The Bad:
Car sat for years, took it's toll on some things. The A/C kinda gets cold but needs a re-charge I will probably do that this weekend. Something in the sunroof motor broke, it's manual control now. It was parked with the rear facing south in a carport so the rear trunk/bumper clear coat is faded even though it was repainted with DuPont 5 years ago. A good buff will bring back the car nearly perfect but the rear trunk/bumper will need repainting. The interior is typical of a car that sat for a few years, needs a good detail. Rear seats could be recovered (typical sc300 issue). I never installed the cruise control cable, but if you can find a MKIV TT one it will work. I drive the car weekly now to get some use on it and it runs perfect aside from those things. Years ago you could eat off this car back when I was in the "car scene". It's been to many car shows. It's famously known as the "Two Jay Z with Nas" meme car. I'm sure you've seen that image.

Production Lexus NX small CUV headed for Geneva
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Just five months ago, our spy photographers caught what appeared to be a mule for the forthcoming Lexus NX crossover with the body of a CT 200h for disguise. Then the LF-NX Concept CUV debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show (it showed up at the Tokyo Motor Show as well) with a massive spindle grille and an extreme version of Lexus' sharp-edged new styling language on full display. Now Auto Express reports that a production version of the LF-NX concept will grace the Geneva Motor Show next March and go on sale next summer. If the names that Lexus trademarked a while back are any indication, it'll come in two trims, NX 200t and NX 300h.
Concept vehicles often look outrageously bold, with more extroverted styling than what eventually makes it into the production version. But Lexus reportedly will leave much of the LF-NX concept's styling alone for the production version, citing its customers' changing tastes.
"What we're finding is that these days customers want to be more expressive, so a lot of the concept's inherent design will come out in the finished car," says Paul Van der Burgh, Lexus' European director. "Why would you want something that looked like everything else in the segment?"
J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead
Wed, 13 Feb 2013
Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.
Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
