This car currently has a clear PA Title that was issued to me in 2007 when I bought the car fom someone in Oh. The OH title was an R title because the car was wrecked on the front drivers side in 2005. It was then rebuilt and retitled. I have owned it since 2007 and have had no problems with it. It drives straight and the steering is firm.


In 2010 I pulled the motor and swapped in a 2 JZGTE- VVTI ARISTO engine from Japan with 30k miles. At the time of the swap my car had 78k miles. The twins were pulled off the engine and a T-67 turbo is installed. All the seals and the timing belt were replaced before the motor was put in my car. The engine is controlled by a haltec f10x. The engine is stock with the addition of HKS- DLI ignition. Fuel is supplied by an in tank Walboro 255 pump, the supply and return lines are braided -6an hoses. It has a full 3 in exhaust with a hi flow cat. 

The interior is stock except for a blitz turbo timer and a 3 gauge pod in the center console w/ A/F ratio, boost, and trans temp.

In 2010 I had a Carson tuned replica front bumper and elixir rear lip and side skirts installed and the whole car was repainted. The windows and tail lights are tinted and the head lights were taken apart and painted black and halos were installed as day time running lights.

The wheels are 3 piece JLINE 10RL3's in polish finish. Fronts are 19x8.5 w/ 225-35-19's rears are 19x9.5x19 w/ 265-30-19's. The drivers front wheel has a slow leak where the wheels bolt together, it needs re-sealed. 

Last year I replaced the stock trans with a fully built race transmission with an upgrades valve body, sprag and a 3200 stall that I bought off of someone else. Since then the car misses 3rd gear when launched from a stop. It drives fine in normal conditions, I drive it now on a weekly basis. I do not know if it is something to do with the tuning and shift points with the new trans, or if the 3rd gear sprag is going bad and i haven't had time to have it looked at. I also have the stock transmission that will go with the car if wanted.

The car was tuned prior to the trans swap by Ray at PF Supercars and made 333 rwhp at 13 psi. I did not want to push it with the stock transmission at the time.

I believe that is all, if you have any other questions just ask.

The car is for sale here and I can end the auction if it sells here.

Lexus LFA owner gets town to remove speed bump

Fri, 17 May 2013

What do you do if you have enough money to buy a Lexus LFA but can't get the car safely to your house? Get local government involved, of course. Rune Berge Vik, of Stavanger, Norway, did just that after he bought a Lexus LFA (the only LFA in the Nordic region according to tv2.no) last year only to find out that it could not clear a speed bump in his neighborhood.
To remedy the situation, Vik got in touch with his city, which had the speed bump removed. Talk about your tax dollars hard at work. On the other hand, it's commendable that the man actually uses his supercar as a daily driver, and besides, doesn't a street-legal car have the right to access said public streets?

Lexus confirms three-row RX coming by 2018

Thu, Mar 24 2016

Now seems like the perfect time for Lexus to launch a three-row version of its RX crossover. Not only are CUVs flying off of dealer lots – as you probably already know, the RX is Lexus' best-selling model – there aren't all that many car-based luxury soft-roaders on the market for Lexus to compete with. Problem is, these things take time, and product planners don't always get the new-model cadence just right. Now, though, we at least have a tentative date for the extended-wheelbase 'ute's arrival. According to Automotive News, Lexus General Manager Jeff Bracken has confirmed that the brand is readying a three-row version of the RX with plans to have it in the clutches of salivating dealers by late 2017 or early 2018. Chances are, the new model will wear RX 350L badges in gas-powered guise and carry the RX 450hL moniker in hybrid form. As AN points out, these names were registered as trademarks earlier this month. That indicates we'll see both standard V6 and optional hybrid-powered versions of the three-row RX. Not only will the extended RX keep the same nomenclature, it'll also look pretty much the same as its five-seat siblings. According to Bracken, "We put so much energy into the styling you see now that we didn't want to compromise even with the third row." All we have to do now is wait, said Bracken. "They would just love to have it now. But I think they're quite relieved that they know it's coming." Related Video:
