HISTORY: Up for sale is my 1992 SC400. I am the fourth owner and have had this car for over seven years now. The original owner was a doctor out of Birmingham, AL., who ordered it from a dealer in Wisconsin. The second owner was a lady who owned it for about 7 years. She owned it locally and had it serviced at the local Huntsville, AL., Lexus dealership. I have the receipts. My buddy bought it from her. He only owned it for about 6 months. I just turned 40, and I have come to realize that this is getting old, and I need a truck. I am in no way shape or form, hurting for money, so I ask each of you who are interested in this car, please don’t waste my time, if not a serious buyer. No joyrides please. It is the very first year of the Lexus luxury coupe. It has the following modifications all done by myself, minus some of the wiring. The color is the original factory pearl white paint with SEM black landau painted interior. I had the front and rear bumper painted with the gas tank cover when I performed the swap. The body itself has about 300K but the ODO is showing only 135K, but the original paint is still very glossy and shiny. Anyone who has seen this car, knows how clean it is. The 1JZ had only approximately 54K miles. When I did the motor swap, I had the power steering rebuilt, new valve cover gaskets, new clips on injectors, new water pump, had alternator rebuilt, flow tested the injectors, and ALL seals were replaced. Still have ALL receipts of work and the ORIGINAL window sticker. The trunk still has the original full size spare tire, jack and first aid kit. I removed the 12 disc changer and the console cellular phone. Everything on the car works, with the exception of power antenna (which is still on the car and I have it unplugged in the rear), and cruise control (removed with swap, still have module). The door hinges do not pop, climate screen has NO bleeding, and cranks up every time after allowing the fuel pump to prime for 2-3 seconds. It has been my DD for almost a year. I did not originally build this SC to be my daily driver, only occasional.
I am asking $11K for this car. Where else can you get a very nice clean car that has been through completely, for this amount? Car made 467rwhp at 16psi on 93 pump gas, and 522rwhp at 21psi on pump gas, without any early detonation. I have videos of the dyno to prove it. It was also over 100 degrees in the bay when this was done. Pulls pretty strong, no noise, no nothing. Just the whistle of the BW singing to yours ears. I can do 117mph by GPS in the 3rd gear. I might be missing a few things here and there, but the car has been garaged since the day I bought it. I spared no expense and you can feel free to look it over and under at your expense or use my garage. I actually encourage it. I have provided plenty of pictures, and if you need more of a particular area, feel free to ask. I have saved over 1K photos of this build and for insurance purposes.

BAD: Rear main seal is leaking I believe it is due to the original oil catch can setup was not allowing the crankcase pressure to properly vent with me using a wye to split the valve cover vents into one inlet on can. The new one was installed two days ago and has a vacuum port through the intake and two separate inlets, size -10 AN. It has an idling issue at random. At dead cold up to operating temperature it is perfect, but after driving for about 10 miles or so and completely warmed up, the idle starts to surge, making the wideband go crazy. It doesn’t do this all the time, but most of the time. With the A/C on, it idles perfect, at 12.3-13.8. I have adjusted the AEM several times to adjust it, but I only made it worse. I am NOT a tuner. The tuner bill alone with the upgraded lines, were over $3700 bucks with a receipt to prove it. My email address is 1jzsc400@gmail.com or call me directly at 205-482-5533. If you TEXT ME, I WILL NOT REPLY, IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY INTERESTED IN THIS CAR, THEN CALL OR EMAIL. Thanks for viewing and have a great day.

2015 Lexus NX offers bold design, compact luxury
Thu, 10 Apr 2014Meet the all-new NX, Lexus' entry into the space occupied by the likes of the BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA. Based off the LF-NX Concept and sharing much of the design language seen on the polarizing IS sedan, the NX looks to be a rather sporty Lexus crossover.
The big news here is under the hood: the NX will be the first Lexus to use a turbocharged engine. That's right, a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder can be found in both the NX 200t and NX 200t F Sport. There will also be an NX 300h, and if Lexus' nomenclature remains consistent, we already know all about that one. As of right now, there aren't a lot of details on either powertrain, although with the NX's Beijing debut still over a week away, here's hoping we know more soon.
As for that design... well, we're waiting to see it up close. The initial reaction from the Autoblog team has been mixed so far. Like the IS, there are plenty of sharp angles, while the front is dominated by the brand's spindle grille. Lexus' designers have refined the shape of the headlights, giving them a cleaner overall look than on the pioneering IS. In back, LED taillights come standard. According to Lexus, 17-inch wheels are the base rollers, while 18s are optional.
Super Bowl commercials: Steven Tyler, Emerson Fittipaldi, Keanu Reeves and more
Thu, Feb 1 2018Sunday is Super Bowl LII, which means America will immerse itself in high-calorie potluck fare, garish halftime-show entertainment (Justin Timberlake, bringing sexy back, but not that kind), the most expensive and over-the-top TV ads of the year, and — oh yeah — a football game between two teams connected by Amtrak's Northeast Corridor line. What else you gonna do on the first Sunday of February? As usual, automakers plan big, splashy TV spots to reach all those gajillions of eyeballs glued to the teevee, though the list may be shorter than in previous years. Here's a roundup of what we know is coming. Hyundai Hyundai will test the football/futbol divide with a 60-second spot starring a youth-soccer ref who arrives for the game dramatically and just in time in his 2018 Kona. Only it's Super Bowl Sunday, so he — along with the two coaches, and apparently most of the parents — are eager to get on with their game-day plans. Advantage: football, being the message, we guess. The ad does make a quick plug for Hyundai's BlueLink nav system, but this is only nominally about the car. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Kia This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The Korean automaker will put Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler behind the wheel of its new Stinger on an abandoned racetrack. The former " American Idol" host promptly puts it into reverse, going back to his '70s heyday, courtesy of some CGI, to the strains of "Dream On" played backwards. Trotting out an almost-70-year-old to relive some classic rock glory fits the Super Bowl template to a T. Two-time Formula One and Indianapolis 500 champ Emerson Fittipaldi also makes a cameo. It airs in the third quarter. Lexus This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Lexus teams with Marvel Studios to preview its forthcoming movie "Black Panther," which arrives in theaters Feb. 16. In "Long Live The King," the Black Panther, a.k.a. King T'Challa, played by Chadwick Boseman, dispatches some bad guys to recover stolen Vibranium after clinging to the roof of a speeding 2018 LS 500 F Sport, driven by co-star Danai Gurira.
Lexus still planning seven-seat crossover
Mon, 28 Apr 2014In case you're thinking, "But Lexus already has a seven-seat crossover in the GX 460," that's actually a proper SUV - the body-on-frame kind with the massive footprint and floaty handling. A report in Automotive News says that Lexus is trying to figure out how to produce a true crossover with space for seven humans, with the options narrowed down to growing the RX (pictured) or sorting out a brand new model.
How badly does the brand want it? Its chief told AN that another row is first on the list of dealer requests, that the offering could be worth 35,000 more sales per year and they don't care if it eats into five-seater RX sales - "We want it." But hey, when 40 percent of monthly sales are made up of the RX, and Lexus moved more than 103,000 of them in 2013, it's understandable that the company wouldn't mind risking a small hit for the chance to increase sales by a third of their current levels.
Toyota applied to trademark the name TX and that's already been mooted in reports as a replacement for the GX, said to end its life in 2016. The latest report, however, suggests that the GX might not go away since it's "highly profitable for the automaker, even at low volumes," and that "TX coding could merely be for a seven-seat variant of the RX 350." AN also wonders if this larger hauler would stay on the recently lengthened Toyota Highlander platform, which offers meager third-row seating, or switch to the rear-wheel-drive platform used by the IS and GS for tauter responsiveness. With Lexus saying it will be at least two years before it could be brought to market, we have a while to wait yet to find out.
