Turbo Lexus Sc300, 2jz-gte, 5 Speed Manual Transmission, Similar To Supra Tt on 2040-cars
Clarksville, Tennessee, United States
1995 Lexus SC300, factory 5 speed transmission, black exterior (202 gloss black), tan interior, no rust, clean title, 185,000 ODO. The mileage will increase slightly since I drive the car typically 1-2 times a week. The Aristo 2JZ-GTE long block was originally sourced by Driftmotion in 2012. In 2013 the car was swapped with Aristo block using a new Dr. Tweak wiring harness. The car runs well overall, but still needs some TLC to be at 100%. The car has working A/C, heat, and electronics. I originally intended to keep the car BPU, and use it as a daily driver, but I’ve lost interest in the car. I also was never particularly interested in doing the GTE swap since I already own a MK3 Supra with a 1JZ, and a MKIV Supra TT. The exterior and interior are both in fair condition. The body is rust free, but has several minor dents, and there is a slight dent crease in the passenger fender. The leather interior has aged, two of the led gauge needles have burnt out, and the rear seats have tears at the top along the seams. Mods: Dr. Tweak PNP engine harness Front mount intercooler with hard pipes 3 inch downpipe and exhaust Spec stage 2+ clutch (~3000 miles) Denso TT 255LPH pump Tein coilovers (~3000 miles)
Problems: Small power steering fluid leak Smoke on the 1-2 seconds of a cold start Clutch operates fine, but is sometimes noisy in first gear Cruise control removed during swap

Lexus GS F points its gaping grille at the BMW M5
Thu, 02 Oct 2014A mere trio of weeks after the latest report in the slow-moving Lexus GS F rumor cycle, we have a brand new batch of spy photos of the BMW M5-fighting sedan. Looking more and more production ready - notice the more finished exhausts compared to our last round of photos - the GS F can be seen poking around what we imagine is Germany.
If the RC and RC F Coupes are any indication, it looks like Lexus will start fitting its high-performance models with a new, single-frame version of the spindle grille while a dual-frame grille will be reserved for lesser trims. Backing up that suspicion is the new single-frame grille found on this prototype, marking the first time the suspected F line styling piece has been seen on a GS F prototype.
The aforementioned staggered quad exhausts look good on the GS' rear end, while a none-too-subtle rear spoiler ups the rear's visual flair. The low-profile rubber and the multi-spoke, black wheels are nice touches that work well with the front fascia features, in addition to the new, camo'd grille and substantial brake cooling ducts.
This Lexus hybrid will paint your self-portrait while you drive
Fri, 25 Oct 2013To 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.
Lexus back in luxury sales race after three-year absence
Sun, 08 Jun 2014Think the only challengers for the title of best-selling luxury brand hail from der Vaterland? Wrong. Lexus outsold the likes of Mercedes-Benz for the second time in 2014 last month. In fact, the Japanese luxury marque's total sales this year are a mere 12,000 units behind BMW.
Lexus was able to move 26,921 vehicles last month, a year-over-year increase of 21.1 percent, respectively. Mercedes, meanwhile, was just barely beaten, moving 26,617 units in April. The difference, though, is that Lexus has made far bigger year-over-year gains than Mercedes, which recorded a YOY increase of just 4.13 percent.
This is particularly troubling for the Germans, as it marks a return to form for Lexus that we haven't seen since before the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami that decimated Japan. Prior to that natural disaster, Lexus enjoyed nearly a dozen years at the top of the luxury heap.
