General Info: This like new HKS Supercharged 2013 Scion FR-S has only 482 ORIGINAL miles, $20,103 worth of aftermarket upgrades (NOT including thousands more in labor and dyno tuning costs) from all premium high end brands, a factory warranty, a 6-speed manual transmission, the optional factory ‘Whiteout’ paint upgrade with a custom vinyl wrap on it which can be removed, and black suede interior with red stitching accents on the seats/doors/steering wheel/shift boot. It still has the factory catalytic convertors and NO check engine lights, so yearly inspections and emissions tests are no problem! Our company, SpeedForSale Motorsports, built this car for the Motovicity ‘Ticket To Ride’ contest and track day at Irwindale Speedway road course in California where it was driven by 2013 Formula D Champion Michael Essa and Tyler McQuarrie to test it’s before-and-after performance with all of the new upgrades listed below. This FR-S beat a similarly modified 2013 Mustang GT V8 by almost 1 second on the road course and took only 102 feet to stop from 60 to 0 MPH! You can find complete details from the blog MotoIQ.com about it’s build from a brand new stock FR-S to the reliably built street car and part-time track day animal it is now by viewing the links shown below. Here is a quote from the track day comparison article regarding this FR-S compared to the modified Mustang GT V8:

“The Ticket To Ride FR-S was also greatly improved and being lighter on its feet, was still the preferred car by our drivers.”

It made a conservative 220 wheel horsepower (about 260 HP at the crank with a light 2800 pound weight) at 6psi of boost on our Mustang-brand dyno using 93 octane gasoline with the STOCK fuel injectors and catalytic convertors. So, it has much more power to be had with a simple fuel injector upgrade, race exhaust header and mid-pipe, and removal of the HKS Supercharger’s intake restrictor which limits boost by 2-3psi. It starts and drives just like a factory FR-S with no compromises. The vinyl body wrap on it can be removed, and we still have all of the original Scion/FR-S badges to put back on the body. It has ALL matching VIN tags in place, and has never been in any wrecks or had any damage/paint work. The car has no leaks or smoke. It's like a brand new factory built performance model that Scion never offered…but should have! Special thanks to Motovicity Distribution for the opportunity!

We get wholesale pricing on performance parts and will sell the person who buys this car any parts they want at better prices than they will find anywhere, as well as provide them with technical assistance and advice on modifying and caring for the car.

Scion reveals iM concept ahead of LA debut

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

After dropping a teaser image on us a few weeks ago, Scion has revealed in full the new iM Concept it's bringing to the Los Angeles Auto Show next week. As expected, the concept is clearly a rebadged version of the Euro-market Toyota Auris, only with some "European Racing Circuit Styling" upgrades to make it look more aggressive.
Along with the Scion logos, the five-door hatch is treated to a deeper air dam flanked by angular vents with stacked fog lamps, beefed-up wheel arches linked by widened side sills and filled with 19-inch, anthracite-finish alloys on low-profile rubber. Vented brake discs and four-piston calipers join an adjustable suspension as show-worthy equipment upgrades.
The sporty treatment continues around back with a similarly aggressive rear bumper and roof spoiler. Even the wing mirrors are replaced with narrower units. Little wonder it's all done up in a shade Scion calls "incrediblue" that looks rather similar to what sister-brand Lexus would put on one of its F-branded performance models - or for that matter what corporate ally Subaru would put on an STI hot hatches like the WRX.

Scion xB death sentence uncertain, minor updates announced

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

The last time we discussed the Scion xB and xD, in April of this year, it was to announce a report that both models were being killed. The vice president of the brand had said, "We don't have plans for a direct xB or xD replacement," but no date was given for the termination. Turns out rumors of their deaths have been greatly exaggerated: as part of a Toyota press release that summarized feature and pricing changes for 2013, the Scion xB was included.
The 2013 hatchback (above) gets a new front bumper and lower fascia with LED lighting, and the rear end gets a black diffuser. Stingray Metallic and Elusive Blue Metallic exterior hues will disappear, Absolutely Red and Nautical Blue Metallic will take their places. Inside will be light bronze metallic and chrome accents, as well as new seat fabric and the availability of the BeSpoke Premium Audio. It increases in price by $500, the manual costing $16,800, the automatic $17,750.
The xD (inset) has been left off the list and the Scion website it still hawking the 2012 car. But 2013 xD pricing and new features were announced earlier this year, the MSRP rising by $125 to $16,500. New equipment and options includes smoked headlight covers, more airbags and a two-tone paint job.

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
