Newer brake pads

Various OEM parts included with the car

This car has no radio other than the sweet, sweet sound of a twin-turbo drive train. (Where did you think those gauges were installed? It is more stealthy, and desirable, trust me.)

This car ain't no garage queen. Nope.

This car runs and drives like a champion because it is one, and I have the time slips from Sacramento Raceway to prove it (14.1 seconds @ 13 PSI, currently running 15 PSI). This car is also an excellent platform for other motorsports, or will suffice as an excellent GT car (as it was intended); whatever your path, in driving this car, you will experience enjoyment.

The car is ready to be painted the color of your dreams (currently painted flat-white with black accents).

The original seats are ready to be restored or refinished in the fashion of your choosing. If fact, the interior, though cared for, does look appropriate for a car of this vintage.

I have a stack of paperwork of the amount of money I have in the car, and my mechanic rents a room from me, so he can tell you about the long hours he's spent setting up the car, and I can tell you about the bills. -- So, I know what it costs to buy and own these cars. This is an original twin turbo, first year of a limited production, with a clean title, it is completely sound mechanically, it has the real transmission (lol @ automatics), and it comes with all the goodies. (Working automatic climate control? Yup.)

WHY AM I SELLING?
I have the title, but the previous owner didn't smog it. So, this car is stuck in smog limbo, meaning you cannot transfer the title until you smog the car (EDIT: NOT A PROBLEM IF YOU'RE OUT OF STATE). I did everything I could to get it to pass, but I couldn't, so I built the car to run a couple of times down the strip at the Speedway. Now I'm tired of this smog nonsense (I'm still trying to find a smog guy that'll hook me up...) and I want a car that I can street legally (EDIT: THE TAGS ARE STILL GOOD), something preferably pre-smog (like a 240z). (That's what I get for being new to California's smog laws).

The first 11,000 takes the car.

CAR SOLD AS-IS. NO WARRANTY.

Test drive available with the cash in hand. Otherwise, I'll be the one driving. And yes, we can run it at Sacramento Speedway if it'll make you happy. You break it, you buy it.

Renault-Nissan zero-emissions car sales whir past 100,000 [w/video]

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

The electric vehicle has gone gold at Renault-Nissan, clocking 100,000 sales in a three-year period that began with the first Nissan Leaf being sold in Silicon Valley, California in 2010. Since then, the Leaf has become the EV champion of the world, selling more than 71,000 units so far, the majority of those in the US. The 100,000th EV sold by the Alliance was also a Leaf and also sold in the US, but on the other side of the country, in Georgia.
By comparison, Renault has sold 30,000 electric vehicles since late 2011, looking after other segments of the EV market with the Kangoo Z.E., Zoe, Twizy and Fluence Z.E. The alliance estimates that its efforts have been driven 5.2 million ion-powered miles and saved 14 million gallons of oil since they appeared. For a bit of sobering context, the US averaged 18.83 million barrels of oil per day in 2011, which is almost 791 million gallons. Per day.
So we're getting there, albeit slowly. Quietly. There's a press release and a video below with more details on the achievement.

Nissan Micra overtaken by bees in England

Mon, 19 May 2014

A 20,000-insect-strong colony of bees attempted to turn a Nissan Micra into their new hive on Friday. The invasion happened in the English town of Southsea, a suburb of Portsmouth, and is just one of a few unexpected bee swarms in the country in recent days.
The car belonged to a student, who alerted the local council. A beekeeper was called in to move the colony of European honey bees to a safer location, on the roof of a nearby church, where they can be tended to.
Scroll down for a video of the bees in full-on swarm mode on the back of the second-gen Micra.

Why it's difficult to accurately test the efficiency of a plug-in car

Thu, Feb 5 2015

When it comes to electric vehicles and plug-ins in general, the Environmental Protection Agency-certified range is a hugely important number. While actual range anxiety is largely psychological, the magic number does provide a point of comparison of buyers considering one EV over another. The driving distance is also often touted by automakers when marketing their models. Unfortunately, as Green Car Reports finds in a recent deep dive, the way the EPA calculates the figure is a convoluted mess, and discovering the reasons why is definitely worth the read. The issue isn't about bad science but instead comes down to vague wording. The EPA's accepted range test is sourced from an evaluation called J-1634 from the Society of Automotive Engineers, and it seems to provide balanced results for vehicles that automatically reach a single state of charge when plugged in. However for models with multiple charge settings, the situation gets complicated very quickly. Of course, these modes are often created in the software, meaning that a car's certified driving distance can change with just a few taps of the keyboard without the real world results owners might experience actually changing. By showing the test's effects on the certified range for the Tesla Model S, Nissan Leaf and Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive over the last few years, Green Car Reports makes a compelling argument that it's the evaluation that needs to change. Thankfully, it appears that the solution is a very simple one. Get the details here.
