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.

Like sands through the hourglass, so is the 2014 Lexus GX

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

Well, that didn't take long. Just days after patent images leaked, Lexus has released pricing and images for its redesigned 2014 GX 460. Our first reaction is... wow, look at the front end on that! The updated luxury SUV features what Lexus calls "a new interpretation" of its now-trademark Spindle grille. The oversized hourglass shape is certainly unique, and whether for good or bad, it's sure to make the GX stand out.
The redesigned GX is set to hit dealerships in September and it starts at $49,085 - nearly $5,000 less than the 2013 model. Along with the new grille, it comes with standard LED headlights and daytime running lights. Inside, the GX boasts a new eight-inch touchscreen display with backup monitor, HD radio with complimentary weather and traffic data, Bluetooth and a vehicle information display. New espresso wood with black trim is also available for 2014.
Of course, the Luxury model, which starts at $60,715, adds even more frills, including navigation, a new Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, adaptive air suspension and Intuitive Parking Assist. Some of these features are also available on the base model with the addition of the new Premium Package, which Lexus touts "will be at the same price as the base 2013 model year GX 460."

Construction of Lexus' first US assembly line underway

Thu, 09 Jan 2014

The ES is Lexus' top-selling sedan, but the Japanese luxury marque has never manufactured it outside of Japan. In fact, Lexus has never made any cars in the United States, one of its largest markets worldwide. But that's about to change.
Yesterday, construction began in Georgetown, Kentucky, on the first Lexus assembly line in America, the first concrete (or steel) step in a $360-million expansion of Toyota's plant in the Bluegrass state that will create 750 new jobs. The expansion was announced last April by chief executive Akio Toyoda at the New York Auto Show.
Once the new assembly line gets online in the fall of next year, Toyota plans on building some 50,000 units of the ES each year. Lexus sold a record 72,581 examples of the ES in the United States last year - 30 percent more than the previous year - so Lexus will either have to import some more from overseas or leave some buyers disappointed.
