It's a blast to drive

So - Grip Industries Swapped 1JZ-GTE VVTI with fully working Auto, working everything except A/C.

12X,XXX miles on the shell, and from what I was told about 40k kilometers on the donor motor. Not a drop of oil leaked, and no issues except the rear end wanting to kick out and rubber being left more often than not.

The Good: The swap obviously, new body panels on the outside so only one dent and it's a small one in the back passenger side corner, and a big scratch in the spoiler on the drivers side.

New Rims - 18x9 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear XXR's in the black chrome variety.

New BBK on the front in excellent condition - actually all the brakes are perfect.

New Toyos on the front with a stretch, Fairly new 265's on the rear that sit perfect in the wheel wells.

New - Well 4500 miles on them now Megan Race coilovers

New 4 Wheel Alignment

TRD Seats fabbed up and thrown in -

Lots of Extra Parts - LOTS 3 Differentials, shaft for R154, 3 door cards, interior pieces out the wazoo extra Automatic Transmission.

HKS SSQV

Big intercooler

Blitz Boost Controller - control everything from gain, boost, overboost etc.

Turbo Guage

AFC Neo - the better one - not sure

Meth kit in the car, not hooked up but would take a few minutes to get it hooked up.

3 inch turbo back to Megan Can - all done by Grip

The Bad:

She needs front bumper, body panel alignment, and paint. I have it good enough to be legal and was going to kit it and plasticoat it. The front half of the car is plastidipped right now and has lines, but this is temporary. new panels underneath:)

A/C does not work - I have a dryer for it, and it needs a charge, one of the A/C controllers I have works - I just don't have it in right now it's in the parts pile that comes with the car:)

Too much Power - seriously - it overwhelms the tires easily - it currently has the 4.27's with Open diff right now, I just got a 4.08 and welded it but haven't put it in, and I have a 3.92 open diff I was going to put a LSD in all go wiht the car. If you buy, we will fill up the back seat, the trunk - where the battery is mounted;-) And the passenger seat for your drive to leave the location.

Interior is bad, and stereo doesn't work. It had a working stereo but in the process of making it look better, I took it out and put the stock one back in, now it doesn't' work. I don't care, exhaust and BOV sound too good to quiet out.

Front rim got a curb mark, it's pretty deep on it, tires and rims had been mounted seriously 15 miles and didn't hit a curb, but a piece of the curb was broke off and in the road:/

I know it doesn't look like much - but it's SOOOOoooo close to being done. A quick body panel alignment and paint job and she's Good to GO. Interior pieces are there and can be repaired, it will need carpet I think, but you may be able to save it.

My time has been put on getting it together and getting it drivable, not much has been put into Fun factor. I would jump in the car and drive it to Cali right now - I have no doubt about it running great, I have put 3500 miles on it in the last few months.

Auction is starting below what I want, so hoping it goes up, but for this price, you are getting an absolute Steal on this Swapped tagged and Legal 1JZ.

Toyota reveals latest autonomous tech test bed

Fri, Mar 3 2017

Toyota revealed its latest autonomous technology effort Friday, a sophisticated Lexus LS 600hL prototype that showcases its plans to advance in the emerging field. The Lexus is the first developed entirely by the company's in-house Toyota Research Institute and it will focus on the car's ability to learn and see behavior on the road. Toyota is showing the car at the Prius Challenge event at Sonoma Raceway. The Lexus uses Lidar, radar, and sensors, which potentially reduce reliance on mapping. The prototype advances Toyota's last concept vehicle shown at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2013. This one is said to be more flexible and it will focus on Toyota's two autonomous tech pillars, called Guardian and Chauffeur. Guardian is meant to improve safety features, while Chauffeur moves toward full autonomy. "We believe Guardian can probably be deployed sooner and more widely than Chauffeur, providing high-level driver-assist features capable of helping mitigate collisions and save lives, sooner rather than later," Toyota Research Institute Gill Pratt said in a statement.

The 2018 Lexus LC 500 to co-star in Marvel's Black Panther

Fri, Jul 21 2017

The Marvel Cinematic Universe may be known for big action and colorful superheroes, but cars have always played a supporting role in the films. Iron Man in particular has showcased a number of new or future cars, including the Acura NSX and Audi R8. Black Panther, the upcoming film about T'Challa and the advanced African nation of Wakanda will feature the wonderful new Lexus LC 500 coupe. The film is set to debut February 16, 2018. We've driven the new Lexus LC 500 a few times now, and it hasn't failed to impress. Whether it's on a track or simply cruising around town, the new luxury coupe has proved itself to be a fantastic follow-up to the much-loved but hugely expensive LFA. Killer looks and an amazing soundtrack make this one of the best GTs we've driven in a long time. The car will presumably be driven by Black Panther himself, though we'll have to wait until next year to see the pair in action.

Toyota investing $200M in Southern manufacturing

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

Over the past two years, Toyota has invested more than $2 billion at its North American production facilities, and it apparently doesn't plan on stopping there. To keep up with recent strong sales, Toyota is investing an additional $200 million at its engine plants in the Southern US to increase production capacity of its V6 engines.
The bulk of this money ($150 million) will go to expand Toyota's engine plant in Huntsville, AL, which is currently responsible for supplying engines - four-cylinder, V6 and V8 - to eight of Toyota's 12 domestically produced vehicles. That includes the best-selling Toyota Camry (shown above).
Toyota didn't say exactly what improvements are being made to the plant, but this follows last year's $80 million investment in the plant that is set to be completed by next year raising the engine capacity to 750,000 annual units including 362,000 V6s. The remaining $50 million will go to the casting plants of Toyota-owned Bodine Aluminum in Missouri and Tennessee, which supply engine blocks and cylinder heads to the Huntsville engine plant as well as others in Kentucky and West Virginia.
