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.

This is Lexus' trick 3D ad in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Having driven its RC F into the party at the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, Lexus is making the most of the exposure. We recently saw the blue coupe showing off its L-Finesse curves with a curvaceous Lisalla Montenegro. And a new video shows how the magazine ad will also work without a bikinied sidekick, showing off the Lexus' own body and sounds in a 3D app for iOS and Android.
After downloading the app and the 3D image for your tablet or phone, the 450-horsepower RC F will be yours to play with - or, as Lexus suggests, yours to "create the 3D experience in your own hands." You didn't have any other plans for your hands while checking out the new issue, did you? The video below will show you how it's done.
Drive like a prince: Join us for a walk through Monaco's car collection
Fri, Dec 29 2023Small, crowded, and a royal pain in the trunk lid to drive into during rush hour, Monaco sounds like an improbable location for a huge car museum. And yet, this tiny city-state has been closely linked to car culture for over a century. It hosts two major racing events every year, many of its residents would qualify for a frequent shopper card if Rolls-Royce issued one, and Prince Rainier III began assembling a collection of cars in the late 1950s. He opened his collection to the public in 1993 and the museum quickly turned into a popular tourist attraction. The collection continued to grow after his death in April 2005; it moved to a new facility located right on Hercules Port in July 2022. Monaco being Monaco, you'd expect to walk into a room full of the latest, shiniest, and most powerful supercars ever to shred a tire. That's not the case: while there is no shortage of high-horsepower machines, the first cars you see after paying ˆ10 (approximately $11) to get in are pre-war models. In that era, the template for the car as we know it in 2023 hadn't been created, so an eclectic assortment of expensive and dauntingly experimental machines roamed whatever roads were available to them. One is the Leyat Helica, which was built in France in 1921 with a 1.2-liter air-cooled flat-twin sourced from the world of aviation. Fittingly, the two-cylinder spun a massive, plane-like propeller. Government vehicles get a special spot in the museum. They range from a Cadillac Series 6700 with an amusing blend of period-correct French-market yellow headlights and massive fins to a 2011 Lexus LS 600h with a custom-made transparent roof panel that was built by Belgian coachbuilder Carat Duchatelet for Prince Albert II's wedding. Here's where it all gets a little weird: you've got a 1952 Austin FX3, a Ghia-bodied 1959 Fiat 500 Jolly, a 1960 BMW Isetta, and a 1971 Lotus Seven. That has to be someone's idea of a perfect four-car garage. One of the most significant cars in the collection lurks in the far corner of the main hall, which is located a level below the entrance. At first glance, it's a kitted-out Renault 4CV with auxiliary lights, a racing number on the front end, and a period-correct registration number issued in the Bouches-du-Rhone department of France. It doesn't look all that different than the later, unmodified 4CV parked right next to it. Here's what's special about it: this is one of the small handful of Type 1063 models built by Renault for competition.
2016 Lexus GS 200t First Drive
Thu, Dec 17 2015Last year, Lexus rolled out an ad for its GS that featured several luxury rivals swinging on pendulums, with a hypnotic voiceover that derides the BMW 5 Series' standard four-cylinder engine. The ad then asks viewers to, "Open your eyes to the six-cylinder, eight-speed Lexus GS." Oh, how times have changed. Consider the facelifted Lexus GS 200t and its four-cylinder turbocharged engine an admission that maybe the Germans are on to something. It's good to see Lexus getting with the times, but after a drive in Southern California, we find the first turbocharged GS comes up short in a lot of ways. This is the same engine Lexus uses in the NX, IS, and RC with 200t designations. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder uses a twin-scroll turbo, direct injection, and Toyota's most advanced continuously variable valve timing to produce 241 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. That's 70 horsepower short of the GS 350's 3.5-liter V6. But torque is down only 22 fewer lb-ft, and the 200t's broad peak torque, from 1,650 to 4,400 rpm, promises ample usable power. The 200t offers little reward for the slower acceleration. As for that previously-mocked BMW 5 series, the Lexus has nearly identical output. But a 7.0-second 0-60 time is nearly a full second slower than the BMW's claim for the 528i, a car that weighs practically the same as the Lexus. Fuel economy is another head-scratcher. Lexus estimates the GS 200t F Sport returns just 20 miles per gallon in the city and 30 mpg on the highway, three and four mpg less than the 5er. This brand-new 2.0-liter turbo is hardly more efficient than the three-year-old GS 350. The V6 model nets 19 mpg city and 28 mpg on the highway, and is 1.3 seconds quicker to 60 mph. A smaller engine almost always means sacrificing performance for economy, but based on the figures the 200t offers little reward for the slower acceleration. At least the 200t is better from behind the wheel than on paper. We weren't that impressed by the low-end grunt of Lexus' 2.0-liter turbo when we drove it in the NX, but different gearing in the GS means snappier off-the-line behavior. Once the turbo catches up you're well into the heart of the torque curve, and the GS feels quicker than a seven-second jog to 60 mph. Mid-range punch is the engine's most endearing quality. Passing moves are easy and entertaining, even when you're already traveling at or above freeway speeds. Unfortunately, the engine gasps above 4,400 rpm.
