Smoking Hot Deal ! Priced to sell !  For sale running and tech ready 04 Scion  XB  (Toaster car at Thunderhill 2012 -check Car & Driver 24 hours of lemons coverage at Thunderhill 2012) 

LOOKING TO GET INTO LEMONS RACING OR CHUMP CAR?  THIS IS A WELL SET UP CAR THAT NEEDS A HOME.!  The care handles and brakes better than 90% of the cars in the pack, needed more horsepower so we added a blitz supercharger (details below) 

First to answer a few stupid questions. 

1.. NO, ITS NOT STREET LEGAL!

 2. NO, IT CAN'T BE REGISTERED THERE IS NO TITLE     Bought as a salvage car from a auto auction in WA - never got title but don't need it. 

3. DON'T KNOW WHAT LEMONS RACING IS? go back to looking at hybrids and Honda Civics.. or  google "24 hours of lemons" 

Car has Blitz supercharger installed on a JY motor Thats JY as in Junk Yard not JDM ...The guy chomping the cigar at the JY said it had 98k.. good compression, no cylinder scuffing passed our visual inspection.. which should be enough to make the sane run away...

The blitz supercharger was obtained used,  we installed it and it runs. The led on the controller doesn't turn on and we have 1 wire we cant figure out where it goes on the piggyback ecu controller. None of us are mechanics by trade so, in a moment of questionable thinking we decided to run two cars.. bad idea. .. we are sticking with one car.. we are keeping the Z because we only know how to work on ignition systems with 2 wires. I took auto shop over 20 years before this car was built and my walker fits in the back of thew Z .. that should explain enough.. 

Car specs 

Car has Evil Genius Racing  - roll cage with upgrades (nasa door bars etc) 

Willwood big brakes up front, slotted, vented rotors, in car proportioning valve.new drums in back. This was a special edition car (was orange) and the guy who had it before was a tuner head.. so it has strut bars,  bigger sway bars front & rear, tokiko shocks & lowering springs, (thats the way it came so they dont cost towars the $500. 

1 race on  Dunlop star spec 225/45/17 on alum rims. oil cooler, trans cooler, alum rad, header, and more !

OK for those new to Lemons Racing and those who don't know S@#% about lemons racing but like to comment "How is that a $500 car"  First off - READ the RULES CAREFULLY... ... ,This was a double salvage vehicle. I bought from a insurance auction. (I work in insurance industry so I had the all important "inside scoop" Car was a TL circa 2008 sold as salvage, guy bought took out of state and rebuilt, car was was involved in ft & rear collision totaled sold without title so it can't be registered again..So you pay 1,209 for salvage car sell interior for 600, other odds and ends get a few hundred more and you are below the cap. When thinks break you get to replace. Bottom line is judge Phil knows if you show up with something that shouldn't be there. This car is a PERFECT LEMONS CAR.  The spirit of lemons is to keep the cars close.  .I have before and after pictures to show our repairs. car is straight with no structural damage .Items considered safety related don't count. this includes brakes, wheels, tires,, etc.. 

One prominent  Lemons official said this would be a great car for a engine swap.. (they love engine swaps) toyota silver top or black top w 6 speed would be bad ass easy choice, really want to upgrade convert to real wheel drive, Really really want to impress, and give Team Double Suck a run, drop a second engine in..(they run two,  two engine cars)  There is lots of interior room. 

Includes the all important burnt toast and smoke machine...

Racing seat is not included. but may throw in a Kirkey 17 inch on sparco sliders if price is fair.. 

email contact information for more details.  I will call you and answer questions... and try to talk you into the most fun racing most of you will ever know..  

Time Trials  -  you against some cones - forget it.. 

Class racing - to many rules and not enough cars. 

LEMON RACING - NO BS RULES- YOU AND 160+ OR SO LIKE MINDED CRAZIES (who don't get panties in a bunch if you rub a bit of paint) 3 WIDE IN WHEEL TO WHEEL RACING ..  Strap on a pair and try it! 

CAR IS IN SF BAY AREA (CA) AND NEEDS TO BE PICKED UP - TRAILER OR TOW. DELIVERY WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE A POSSIBILITY TO BE AGREED UPON.  IF SHIPPING CHECK WITH SHIPPER  CAR IS VERY LOW. 

cash talks - I reserve the right to end auction early.

Pics Aplenty: Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ show up en masse at SEMA

Thu, 01 Nov 2012

Scion made a huge investment in the 2012 SEMA show, and its spanking new FR-S coupe, by putting hundreds of cars in the hands of tuners. The result on the floor of the Las Vegas Convention Center is unmissable, as just about everywhere we turn we find another FR-S peeking out at us.
We tried to capture a large quantity of the coupes we saw on display, to represent just how thick on the ground they actually are. In the attached gallery you'll find a healthy percentage of the alleged 150-plus cars that made it to SEMA this year. You'll also find a smattering of Subaru BRZ models, too. Fair is fair.

Scion iA and iM rolled into Yaris and Corolla lineups for 2017

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The Scion brand may be going away, but most of its cars (sorry, tC) are living on. We'll see the 2017 Toyota 86 (nee Scion FR-S) at the New York Auto Show next week, and the automaker already confirmed that the Scion iA and iM will be rebadged as Toyotas. But instead of standing on their own, the former Scions will be rolled into existing model lines. "Yaris iA" and "Corolla iM" will be the official names of the cars, effective for 2017. It's a smart move, paring the relatively new Scion nameplates with well-known, existing Toyota monikers. Scion spokeswoman Nancy Hubbell tells Autoblog that the iA already exists as the Yaris in the Canadian and Mexican markets, so "that connection was already there." Plus, it's better for marketing. The combination of the two vehicles all under the Yaris nameplate means Toyota can focus its advertising dollars on one vehicle line, simply saying that you can now have the Yaris as a four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback. "The same goes with Corolla," Hubbell explains. She says the existing Toyota sedan and the Scion iM "paired really well," and again, it means Toyota can advertise the Corolla as having two body styles moving forward. There are benefits from a sales perspective, too. Never mind that Scion division sales were already included in Toyota's overall numbers – calling the new cars Yaris iA and Corolla iM means the company won't have to report these cars individual sales separately. It's like when Toyota made the Matrix – its technical name was Corolla Matrix, so its individual sales didn't have to be broken out. That means an extra boost in overall numbers for the Yaris and Corolla, even if the cars would have been reported under Toyota's numbers had they kept their Scion badges.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
