Up for sale today is my one owner Scion FR-S Coupe. It has the 2.0L Boxer engine, a manual 5 speed transmission, and all the FR-S options. Bluetooth head unit, Suede seats, etc. I do a LOT of traveling, and put on 30,000 miles in one year traveling along the south and east coast. I always took it to the dealership every 3500 miles for proper maintenance items, coolant flushes, oil changes, etc. It was an excellent car, fun and sporty, great gas mileage. I am a 30 year old business professional, and never abused it. I put on lowering springs for a better appearance, other than that it was stock.

I was driving it around town in Ohio, and someone let their dog loose. It ran right into the middle of the road infront of me, and I slammed on the brakes and swearved to avoid hitting it. I impacted a fire hydrant going about 5-10 miles per hour, and the air bags deployed. It was towed to a lot, and my insurance company totalled it out due to being a 2013. The agent offered to sell me the car back for alittle under half retail, and since I knew the history of the car (and that the engine and transmission were untouched and fine,) I quickly bought it back with plans to put on Extreme Dimensions body panels and make it custom and unique.

I took it to my mechanic and body shop, they inspected the engine and transmission as you can see in the engine running videos and pictures below. Mechanically, the car is fine and will run and drive with no issues. The drivers front frame rail has a slight bend to it. I got the opinions of two certified body shops which estimated the repair at $900 for the frame rail, or $2500 for the complete repair, including panels and paint. The car is good from the doors back, and the only part of the frame that is damaged is the front half from the middle of the tire forward. I am on the road too much to finish this project, so I am offering it for sale.

Don't buy a salvage car from a reseller that won't provide an engine video and has no clue on the history of the car. Here is your chance to have a $25,000 car for much less than half that.

You will need the following items to finish the car:
Fenders
Hood
Bumper
Headlights
Air Intake
Radiator
Condensor
Washer Reservoir
Cooling Fan
Drivers side Front Lower Control Arm
Air Bag

If you have any questions, feel free to call, text, or email me 614-522-9626. I work for a transportation company, and get great rates on towing vehicles across the United States as well.

Here is a video of this FR-S running, and sounding great, like off the show room floor:

And here are some larger, additional pictures, and the CarFax:

Rutledge Wood wins Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race in Long Beach

Sun, 21 Apr 2013

Rutledge Wood took home the checkered flag at this year's Toyota Pro/Celebrity race at the Grand Prix of Long Beach. The Top Gear USA presenter, Fox Sports commentator and Honda Wagovan owner managed to take pole position in qualifying, but lost his lead early in the race to Mark Steines. Steines has competed in the Pro/Celebrity race four times so far, but the Hallmark channel host of Home and Family couldn't quite hold on to the lead. Wood eventually made up the ground he had lost for the win. This year, all the participants went fender to fender in identically prepared Scion FR-S racers.
Meanwhile, Adam Carolla took first in the Pro category, and Toyota donated $5,000 on behalf of each participant to Racing for Kids. The charity benefits children's hospitals in the Long Beach area, and this year Toyota donated a total of $90,000. Check out the full press release below for more information.

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi

Sun, 25 Nov 2012

EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.

Scion's SEMA show cars display tuner creativity [w/videos]

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Scion brought four FR-S concepts to SEMA this year and one xB concept, while another three Scion tCs were brought to the show by three different shops that are competing in Scion's Tuner Challenge. The modified Scions range from mild to insane, and show how popular they are in the tuner world.
The Tuner Challenge teams brought unique creations to SEMA, after Scion gave each of them a tC, $15,000 and 90 days to modify it. At 11:00 AM on Wednesday, judges picked the Young Tea Scion Simpli-tC as the winner, the Walter Franco Scion L-DZ Concept got second, and third place went to the Josh Croll Scion WSD-tC. Check out the three videos below to watch the tC builds from start to finish.
Out of the FR-S concepts brought to the show, we're gravitating toward the GReddy Performance x Scion Racing Drift FR-S (top), which has the venerable 2JZ-GTE turbocharged straight-six engine in place of the flat-four that comes standard in the rear-wheel-drive coupe - ready to pump out 750 horsepower - and the Bulletproof FR-S Concept One, which features a striking, handmade wide body and a heavily modified, turbocharged flat-four that puts out 500 hp.
