*Disclaimer THIS IS NOT A SHOW CAR*
I have had this car just over 3 years and have enjoyed every moment with it. I am now married, my life has changed, and its time for me to let her go. True GTS with factory diff. This is a pretty solid car that does need some work but still runs and drivers fantastically. STRONG 16V motor rebuilt about 30k miles ago. The good: (new(ish) parts/service) timing belt was done about 30k miles ago Injen cold air intake 2 years ago
greddy coilovers 3 years ago Techno toy tuning short shift kit last year full fluid change in trans and diff last year cusco front strut bar alternator last year battery this year starter this year all belts and silicone hoses 2 years ago tires are in great shape coolant flush/new overflow 2 years ago coil/plugs/wires last year distributor/cap/rotor this year brake and clutch master cylinder this year front pads late last year Steel braided brake lines (last year) rear pads/rotors this year header/hks muffler (2 years ago) side windows/ windshield re-sealed (damn water leaks) last year personal steering wheel with NRG carbon quick realease hub (2 years ago)
The bad: the body. I had the car painted 2 years ago and i would say its a 5 out of 10. Shortly after I had it painted the car got pelted by hail and it is still visible in parts of the roof where the PDR guy could not get the dents out. It is also visible on the pillars. The roof had some touch up work by Carnica and you can definetely see a blend line. There are dents and scratches around the car as well as the formation of some rust. Again it is not a show car and it is 29 years old. The speedometer is not working. i swapped out the speedo cable to no avail so I am not sure what the issue is. Tach and other guages work fine. trunk key is different from ignition and door key passenger side door lock works fine but looks like someone tried to pry out the lock previously (before my ownership) so it looks a bit ugly I get some water seepage with heavy rain in the rear window. I honestly have just not felt like tearing that all apart for the few times I do see some moisture. Kouki front bumper that is zip tied on. I was NOT crazy about the correct brackets to fit this bumper. The STOCK full length from bumper is installed with kouki bumper ziptied over but it does not fit all that well. I will include the JDM brackets if you would like to swap them out. No radio antenna but I really never listen to the radio
dash has a crack in the center The ugly: NO INTERIOR. no carpet, rear seat, roof liner, etc. Stock passenger seat with corbeu belts and no name seat for driver (NOT adjustable) with g force 5 point belts. The ring and pinion are getting pretty noisy. Its time for service on the ring and pinion which is honestly one of the reasons I am looking to sell the car. I feel like as little as I am driving the car I might just let the next person deal with the issue and sell the car cheaper. Oil pan gasket is starting to leak BUT nothing significant (no puddles etc just a wet pan) Take a look at the car in person if you like. I live 15 miles north of downtown Chicago. If there is something I have forgotten I will certainly update the description accordingly. Feel free to ask questions about the car. I have the reserve set at what I want to sell the car at. If I cant meet my reserve I will just keep the car. Please do not ask what the reserve is just bid what you think the car is worth. I have a set of spare valve cover gaskets, master cylinder rebuild kit, pop up headlight (both are working now) and caliper rebuild kit, speedo cable, and whatever else I can find that I will include with the car. |

Lexus Eco Challenge rewards schools for clean water, briquette press projects
Fri, Feb 28 2014Teams from one New Jersey high school and one Michigan middle school reversed the old adage by thinking locally and acting globally. And that strategy won them the grand prizes in the most recent edition of the Lexus Eco Challenge. The future is indeed bright. The Toyota luxury-vehicle division gave out a half-million dollars in this year's contest. One $30,000 grand prize was awarded to the Pinelands Eco Scienteers from Little Egg Harbor, NJ, which produced and distributed low-cost briquette presses to rural villages beset by deforestation. The other grand prize went to the E.T. Electrical Team from Byron Center West Middle School in Michigan. That middle-school group raised money to send water filters to Haiti, Kenya and the Philippines. Lexus also awarded eight $15,000 first-place awards, with the winners including high schools from California, Florida, Missouri and Pennsylvania as well as middle schools from Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina and Texas. A special shout out goes to Daniel Boone Area High School in Birdsboro, PA, where students created an educational and public-relations campaign to publicize algae-based biofuels. In all, Lexus has doled out more than $4 million in Eco Challenge awards in seven years. Check out Lexus's press release below. Students Get Dollars and Sense in Lexus Eco Challenge - $500,000 Awarded to Teams Who Learn About Environment and Community Empowerment Two Grand Prize Teams Earn $30,000 Eight $15,000 First Place Awards Given to Innovative High School and Middle School Teams Students Bring Ideas to a Larger Audience and Make a Positive Impact on the World TORRANCE, Calif., (Feb. 24, 2014) – It's a win, win situation!

This year, the $30,000 Grand Prize winners are the Pinelands Eco Scienteers from Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey, and the E.T. Electrical Team from Byron Center, Michigan. The Lexus Eco Challenge is an educational program and contest that inspires and empowers young people to learn about the environment and take action to improve it. High school and middle school teams nationwide define an environmental issue that is important to them, develop an action plan to address the issue, implement the plan, and report on the results.
Toyota recalls 1.37 million more vehicles for Takata airbags
Tue, Jun 16 2015Toyota is expanding its passenger-side Takata airbag inflator recall campaign by an additional 1.37 million vehicles in the United States. The models covered under this broadened recall are the 2003-2007 Corolla, Matrix, and Lexus SC430; the 2005-2006 Tundra; and the 2005-2007 Sequoia. In total, Toyota says that this expansion brings the number of its vehicles covered under the Takata inflator recall in the US to 2.915 million. For these latest models, owners will be notified by mail soon. The move is similar to a recent decision by Honda to broaden its recall list. As with millions of other vehicles covered under these recalls, it's possible for exposure to moisture to cause the inflator to ignite too quickly in an airbag deployment. This can cause shrapnel to be sprayed at occupants. At least seven deaths have been potentially linked to these ruptures worldwide. TOYOTA EXPANDS TAKATA AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL TORRANCE, Calif., June 16, 2015 – Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. today announced that it is expanding its recalls involving Takata front passenger airbag inflators. Based on recent information from Takata and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Toyota will recall approximately 1,365,000 additional 2003-2007 Corolla and Corolla Matrix; 2005-2006 Tundra; 2005-2007 Sequoia; 2003-2007 Lexus SC430 vehicles. This brings the total number of Toyota and Lexus vehicles covered by Takata recalls in the U.S. to approximately 2,915,000. In the involved vehicles, the front passenger airbag inflators could potentially be susceptible to rupture when deployed and seriously injure vehicle occupants. "Toyota's focus remains on the safety and security of our customers, and we will continue to respond promptly to new developments so we can resolve issues for them as quickly, conveniently and safely as possible," said Dino Triantafyllos, chief quality officer, Toyota Motor North America. Multiple investigations into the root cause of the potential for inflator rupture are taking place, including by Orbital ATK, an independent engineering firm commissioned by an industry-wide joint testing initiative comprised of the ten automotive manufacturers conducting Takata-related recalls. All known owners of the affected Toyota / Lexus vehicles will be notified by first class mail to return their vehicles to a Toyota / Lexus dealer. The dealer will replace the airbag inflator with a newly manufactured one.
These are the cars most likely to be damaged in an accident
Tue, Nov 30 2021Data from Insurify shows which models have the most accident-prone drivers behind the wheel. It also shows the proportion of the drivers of said vehicles with an at-fault accident on record in the past seven years, based on Insurify’s analysis of over 4 million car insurance applications. For reference, the national average is 10.78%, and each of these vehiclesÂ’ drivers represent a statistically significant increase over that. Now, it would be easy to infer that these cars are dangerous, but such is not necessarily the case. Remember, drivers cause accidents, not cars. These just happen to be the cars that accident-prone drivers drive. YouÂ’ll notice that many are mainstream, affordable cars, often with decent crash ratings. Also keep in mind that vehicle accidents are up since the beginning of the pandemic, so no matter what you drive, please drive safely. 10. Hyundai Ioniq This affordable, electrified vehicle platform sneaks into this list with 14.45% of drivers with a recent at-fault accident on record. 9. Lexus CT Another hybrid, this Prius-powered Lexus beats the national average at 14.57%. 8. Toyota Prius V Yet another hybrid, the larger but discontinued member of the Prius family sees 14.72% of its drivers with recent accidents. 7. Mazda CX-3 The Mazda CX-3, which is discontinued for the 2022 model year, sees the accident-prone making up 14.9% of its drivers. 6. Infiniti Q60 The second and final luxury car on this list has more accident-prone drivers than average, at 14.93%. 5. Subaru Impreza The first of two Subarus on this list has 15.1% of drivers with recent accidents on record. 4. Hyundai Genesis Coupe The Genesis Coupe was only on the market for a brief span before it was discontinued and Genesis spun off into its own luxury brand. That said, it too beats the national average for accidents, at 15.29%. 3. Subaru WRX Despite its standard all-wheel drive, the boy-racer WRX has 15.44% of drivers with a prior accident in the last seven years. 2. Kia Stinger We love the Kia Stinger, and had great luck with our long-termer that graced the Autoblog garage for a year. That said, 15.75% of its drivers represent have a recent accident on record. 1. Scion FR-S This fun two-seater attracts the most accident prone drivers, with 15.87% with recent at-fault crashes.
