Unique Super Art Car Painted By Eduardo Kobra (700+ Hp 1jz Big Turbo) on 2040-cars

Year:1997 Mileage:25000
Location:

This is a One of a Kind vehicle painted by Eduardo Kobra during 2013 Miami Art Basel in Wynwood. Eduardo Kobra is a world renowned street artist from Brazil with murals all around the world. At the same time that he was painting the car, he was painting two murals in Wynwood on NW 2nd Ave, on 28th street and across from Wood Tavern. The portrait is of Clint Eastwood. The car was professionally sanded, primed, and masked by District body shop and then painted with spray paint and air gun by Kobra and team, then professionally sealed with two gloss clear coats and three matte clear coats by the same body shop. 

The car itself is highly modified. The engine was swapped to a 1JZGTE from a Toyota Supra with 25,000 miles. It has Borg Warner turbo, racing suspension, custom exhaust, converted to R154 manual transmission with Spec twin disk racing clutch, and all the best equipment with no expense spared. The list goes on but I would like the videos and pictures to speak for themselves. Interior is in mint condition.

The car is great for the streets @ 18psi on 93 octane pump gas running 500 HP

It is even better on the track  @30psi on C17 race fuel hitting 700+ HP

This car can be easily converted to e85 fuel found at most gas stations. A flex fuel gauge can be installed that will automatically change settings to run a mixture of e85 and 93 octane pump gas. With the conversion the car will make 650 HP @ 32psi driving the streets.

Clean Title in hand ready to be transferred.

Lexus hints at possible IS SportCross comeback [w/poll]

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

We're looking forward to seeing the 2014 Lexus IS in person next week at the Detroit Auto Show to see if its brazen design is any less polarizing in person, but Lexus (or at least its Facebook team) has dropped a not-too-subtle hint about the possible return of the SportCross body style - something in between a hatchback and station wagon. The current generation IS comes in sedan and convertible models, but this is an interesting teaser that might suggest an expanded IS lineup.
On its Facebook page, Lexus said:
Do you remember the '02 IS 300 Sport Cross with its style, utility and performance? Will we bring it back? Watch the 2014 IS premiere on Facebook in 6 days to find out!

Krafcik says US Gov. shutdown is slowing Oct. auto sales

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

The government shutdown is eroding consumer confidence in the auto market, says John Krafcik, CEO of Hyundai's US sales unit, and could lower October sales by as much as 10 percent, Automotive News reports. "It's that anxiety that keeps customers, potential buyers, on the sidelines when making a big purchase like an automobile," Krafcik says, adding that industry sales could be off by five to 10 percent in October compared to September.
The fourth quarter, which started October 1, usually consists of increased auto sales as dealerships clear their lots to make room for the next year's models. Leading up to the fourth quarter this year, the auto industry was doing well in the fragile, recovering US economy, although September deliveries decreased by 4.2 percent, due in part to this year's Labor Day sales being recorded for August.
To help its customers, Hyundai announced it is deferring new-car loan and lease payments for furloughed federal workers until they're called back to work and also offering them a three-month payment deferral if they buy a new Hyundai in October. "We have already had requests from over a thousand people to have their payments deferred," Krafcik says.
