LOOKING TO GET INTO LEMONS RACING OR CHUMP CAR? THIS IS A WELL SET UP CAR THAT NEEDS A HOME.! The care handles and brakes better than 90% of the cars in the pack, needed more horsepower so we added a blitz supercharger (details below)
First to answer a few stupid questions.
1.. NO, ITS NOT STREET LEGAL!
2. NO, IT CAN'T BE REGISTERED THERE IS NO TITLE Bought as a salvage car from a auto auction in WA - never got title but don't need it.
3. DON'T KNOW WHAT LEMONS RACING IS? go back to looking at hybrids and Honda Civics.. or google "24 hours of lemons"
Car has Blitz supercharger installed on a JY motor Thats JY as in Junk Yard not JDM ...The guy chomping the cigar at the JY said it had 98k.. good compression, no cylinder scuffing passed our visual inspection.. which should be enough to make the sane run away...
The blitz supercharger was obtained used, we installed it and it runs. The led on the controller doesn't turn on and we have 1 wire we cant figure out where it goes on the piggyback ecu controller. None of us are mechanics by trade so, in a moment of questionable thinking we decided to run two cars.. bad idea. .. we are sticking with one car.. we are keeping the Z because we only know how to work on ignition systems with 2 wires. I took auto shop over 20 years before this car was built and my walker fits in the back of thew Z .. that should explain enough..
Car specs
Car has Evil Genius Racing - roll cage with upgrades (nasa door bars etc)
Willwood big brakes up front, slotted, vented rotors, in car proportioning valve.new drums in back. This was a special edition car (was orange) and the guy who had it before was a tuner head.. so it has strut bars, bigger sway bars front & rear, tokiko shocks & lowering springs, (thats the way it came so they dont cost towars the $500.
1 race on Dunlop star spec 225/45/17 on alum rims. oil cooler, trans cooler, alum rad, header, and more !
OK for those new to Lemons Racing and those who don't know S@#% about lemons racing but like to comment "How is that a $500 car" First off - READ the RULES CAREFULLY... ... ,This was a double salvage vehicle. I bought from a insurance auction. (I work in insurance industry so I had the all important "inside scoop" Car was a TL circa 2008 sold as salvage, guy bought took out of state and rebuilt, car was was involved in ft & rear collision totaled sold without title so it can't be registered again..So you pay 1,209 for salvage car sell interior for 600, other odds and ends get a few hundred more and you are below the cap. When thinks break you get to replace. Bottom line is judge Phil knows if you show up with something that shouldn't be there. This car is a PERFECT LEMONS CAR. The spirit of lemons is to keep the cars close. .I have before and after pictures to show our repairs. car is straight with no structural damage .Items considered safety related don't count. this includes brakes, wheels, tires,, etc..
One prominent Lemons official said this would be a great car for a engine swap.. (they love engine swaps) toyota silver top or black top w 6 speed would be bad ass easy choice, really want to upgrade convert to real wheel drive, Really really want to impress, and give Team Double Suck a run, drop a second engine in..(they run two, two engine cars) There is lots of interior room.
Includes the all important burnt toast and smoke machine...
Racing seat is not included. but may throw in a Kirkey 17 inch on sparco sliders if price is fair..
email contact information for more details. I will call you and answer questions... and try to talk you into the most fun racing most of you will ever know..
Time Trials - you against some cones - forget it..
Class racing - to many rules and not enough cars.
LEMON RACING - NO BS RULES- YOU AND 160+ OR SO LIKE MINDED CRAZIES (who don't get panties in a bunch if you rub a bit of paint) 3 WIDE IN WHEEL TO WHEEL RACING .. Strap on a pair and try it!
CAR IS IN SF BAY AREA (CA) AND NEEDS TO BE PICKED UP - TRAILER OR TOW. DELIVERY WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE A POSSIBILITY TO BE AGREED UPON. IF SHIPPING CHECK WITH SHIPPER CAR IS VERY LOW.
cash talks - I reserve the right to end auction early.

Toyota profits up 23% on high US sales, despite mounting legal costs
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Toyota earned $9.3 billion in net income in the financial year that ends next month. The number beats earlier forecasts and marks a five-year high for the automaker, with both operating income and revenue up by 9.5 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively. Toyota saw quarterly profit enjoy a year-on-year jump of 23.4 percent, with the manufacturer earning more than $1 billion between October and December 2012. The good news comes in spite of the fact that the Japanese automaker actually endured an operating loss in North America, due in part to legal fees.
Toyota is set to pay more than $1 billion to owners who claim their vehicles decreased in value as a result of the company's recent spate of recalls. Even so, all three of the automaker's brands enjoyed a 13.5 percent sales increase in the US in the last quarter, beating the industry average. Toyota faltered in Europe, however, where it earned $99 million in operating profit last year, compared to $111 million in 2011. You can take a closer look at the company's full press release below for more information.
Toyota headed to New York with 2014 Highlander, revised Scion tC
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Toyota has given us a look at what the company will bring to the 2013 New York Auto Show. Visitors will get to set their eyes upon the all-new 2014 Highlander, and while the automaker isn't saying much in the way of details, we do get the teaser you see above (click to enlarge) to ponder on until next week. The image shows little more than a headlamp and a bit of grille, but gives us the flavor of what the crossover will bring to the table.
Scion, meanwhile, says it plans to dust off the "new 2014 tC sports coupe." While we don't imagine the two door will have undergone a major surgery, we're interested to see what the automaker has cooked up. The tC last endured a redesign in 2011. Check out the brief press release below and look for the vehicles to bow on March 28.Y
Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
