More in depth:

Engine:

JDM Gen 2 3SGTE
Starts/runs great. 
Maintenance kept up with
No known issues
Only modifications done to it: Greddy BOV, side mount intercooler, walboro 255lph fuel pump, egr block off plate and a megan exhaust. Due to the EGR blockoff plate being installed, the check engine light is on. Comes on during driving and not at idle. I belive to pass inspection all this car needs to be able to pass is safety due to it's age. The engine runs just fine and there is no concern to be had.



Drivetrain:
5 speed. Haven't checked if it's the one with LSD or not. Shift smooth, though clutch master feels weaker than it should. New rear wheel bearings.

Suspension:

Suspension could use an alignment, as the front inner and outer tie rods are fairly new. As it is, it's not too far off. 

Wheels/tires:

Rims are on spacers, and from an RSX. Tires in the front are pretty decent shape, Dunlop SP wintersport m3s. The rear tires are brand new Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSI

Body: 

The body metal wise is in fantastic shape, no rust except on the bottom of the drivers side door. However, the clearcoat is peeling, and the red is faded in a few spots, thanks to the Florida sun. There are areas where the paint is even chipping. This is the only thing that takes away from the car besides the aftermarket front bumper. It still needs aligning, and the corner light is missing. Have a replacement home made one ready to mount. Headlights are HID, and fog lights work perfect. The windshield has a hairline crack in the middle (check pictures)

Interior:

Interior is in pretty decent shape. The drivers side leather seat is FUBAR, and has a cover on it. The passenger side seat is pretty rough. I have the cover for it, just never put it on. Other than that dash and interior panels are in good shape, minor imperfections. The interior is complemented with a Greddy Barometric Boost Gauge, Grant GT wheel, JDM gauge cluster, HKS Turbo Timer, and an Eclipse CD-3422 head unit. Switch to the electric fans as well. Ttops do leak a little, and come with interior covers.

This is an awesome car, that's plenty of fun to drive. However with a family and 2 other cars I'm trying to finish, this is the least practical one to own for myself. I'd like to see it go to a good home, as I've barely driven it since ownership, and have done my best to maintain it.

A VIN check on the car shows an odometer discrepancy. I have no idea as to why, as the odometer matches the title, and was not told about this upon registering (usually the registrar will bring this up). The only thing that comes to mind is because of he engine/cluster swap. Also it should be noted with the vin check there is an accident report on it. The front was scraped pretty bad but no frame damage was sustained. 

The car will come with books to the alarm which needs to be programed, original Toyota books, leather cased thing for the factory jack, and several new parts that were not needed.

NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers

Fri, 08 Jun 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota, Honda and General Motors crossovers.
2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation.
In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue.

Toyota reaffirms commitment to body-on-frame SUVs

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Toyota sold 121,055 Highlander CUVs in 2012, according to Automotive News. By comparison, it sold 78,457 examples of four different body-on-frame, truck-based SUVs (4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Sequoia and Land Cruiser). One could argue then, that the traditional SUVs aren't pulling their weight from a sales perspective. Yet that isn't stopping Toyota from reaffirming its commitment to a segment that has seen its former champions - Ford, General Motors and Chrysler - abandon it with alarming speed. Ford and GM still offer body-on frame utilities, but only in the very largest offerings, catering to seven or even eight passengers. Everything outside of the Expedition or Tahoe rides now on a unibody.
Toyota's decision to stick with the technology is good news if you're in the market for smaller SUVs that are still capable of heading well off the beaten path. Outside of the Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee (a unibody) and perhaps Nissan Xterra, there's not much in terms of capable SUVs between $20,000 and $50,000. As the Toyota brand's US head, Bill Fay, says, "Clearly, the trend has shifted, but there is still an owner base that is interested in these vehicles."
We don't doubt Fay on that, but it may also be somewhat telling that Toyota's SUV lineup is aging, and we haven't seen or heard much about replacement models in the pipeline. Admittedly, the 4Runner (pictured) has been facelifted for 2014, but it's mostly cosmetic in nature. Despite Toyota's posturing, we still expect its body-on-frame lineup to thin in the coming years as sales dwindle and escalating fuel-economy standards make business cases even tougher. Here's hoping that Toyota manages to keep at least one rough-and-tumble SUV in its lineup in the coming years.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
