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.

Leaked Toyota FT-86 Open concept images preview droptop Scion FR-S [w/video]
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Here it is, folks - the highly anticipated Toyota FT-86 Open concept, a precursor to what could become a road-going Scion FR-S convertible. A full smattering of images and video have leaked onto the internet, and thanks to the folks at FT86Club.com, we can now see the new hotness that Toyota will be unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
These images confirm details that were first seen in spy shots captured a couple of weeks ago - namely, the larger wheel/tire package and the inclusion of the Toyobaru coupe's decidedly useless rear seats. These new photos, however, show a two-tone leather interior with goodies such as an iPod/iPhone mount on the dashboard. The concept car is also fitted with the coupe's six-speed automatic transmission (boo!) and FT86Club.com reports that the folding soft top is operated electronically.
We'll have the full details live from Geneva in just a few days. For now, click through our attached image gallery to see lots of pretty pictures of the topless wonder, and scroll down for a video to see the concept in motion.
2014 Scion FR-S gets price increase, knee cushions [w/video]
Wed, 04 Sep 2013There's not a lot of breathing room between the Scion FR-S and the Subaru BRZ - the two rear-drive coupes are about as close to badge-engineered as the auto industry gets in this day and age. In this case, that's not a terrible thing, though, since they're both so engaging to drive, but it does make for interesting comparisons when it comes to pricing and model year updates.
Late last month, Subaru announced pricing for its 2014 BRZ, which didn't get much more than the inclusion of Aha internet radio compatibility and a $25,595 starting price - just $100 more than the 2013 model's MSRP. A modest $25 increase in destination charges ($795) means that it starts at $26,390. For its part, Scion will ask $24,600 for a base 2014 FRS, plus $755 for delivery, for a total of $25,355. That means the Subaru is more still expensive, but it has more available equipment as well.
The 2014 Scion FR-S isn't getting many tweaks, but a couple of small changes - knee pads on both the transmission tunnel and the door panels around the speaker grilles and a new standard 6.1-inch touchscreen audio system - are appreciated. (Note: 2013 model shown above).
Ryan Tuerck's Ferrari-powered Scion drifts, crashes, fixes, and drifts again
Sat, Sep 23 2017We were pretty astonished when Ryan Tuerck and Gumout shoved a Ferrari 458 V8 into a Scion FR-S. And as awesome as that fact alone may be, it's even more amazing that it's a fully functional drifter, not just a show car. Tuerck recently took it out to Portland, Ore. to do some sweet drifting on a mountain road. Unfortunately for him and the car, he did something substantially less sweet right off the bat. As you'll see in the video, in just the second corner of the course, Tuerck drives the front corner of the GT4586 right into the dirt cliff on the side of the road. For a moment, it looks like things are all right, but the car starts pulling to the right and he stops the car for repairs. After fixing bits including a thoroughly bent tie-rod, the GT4586 is good as new. We're glad the car wasn't down for long, because the drifting show following the repairs was fantastic. In the video, Tuerck throws the Scion into high-speed, super smoky drifts. And all of it happens to the tune of a shrieking Ferrari V8. It's well worth a few minutes of your time to watch.
