Year:1992 Mileage:195000

Melbourne, Florida, United States

It's a blast to drive 

So - Grip Industries Swapped 1JZ-GTE VVTI with fully working Auto, working everything except A/C.

12X,XXX miles on the shell, and from what I was told about 40k kilometers on the donor motor.  Not a drop of oil leaked, and no issues except the rear end wanting to kick out and rubber being left more often than not.

The Good:  The swap obviously, new body panels on the outside so only one dent and it's a small one in the back passenger side corner, and a big scratch in the spoiler on the drivers side.  
New Rims - 18x9 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear XXR's in the black chrome variety.  
New BBK on the front in excellent condition - actually all the brakes are perfect.
New Toyos on the front with a stretch, Fairly new 265's on the rear that sit perfect in the wheel wells.
New - Well 4500 miles on them now Megan Race coilovers
New 4 Wheel Alignment
TRD Seats fabbed up and thrown in - 
Lots of Extra Parts - LOTS 3 Differentials, shaft for R154, 3 door cards, interior pieces out the wazoo extra Automatic Transmission.
HKS SSQV
Big intercooler
Blitz Boost Controller - control everything from gain, boost, overboost etc.
Turbo Guage
AFC Neo - the better one - not sure
Meth kit in the car, not hooked up but would take a few minutes to get it hooked up.
3 inch turbo back to Megan Can - all done by Grip


The Bad:
She needs front bumper, body panel alignment, and paint.  I have it good enough to be legal and was going to kit it and plasticoat it.  The front half of the car is plastidipped right now and has lines, but this is temporary.  new panels underneath:)
A/C does not work - I have a dryer for it, and it needs a charge, one of the A/C controllers I have works - I just don't have it in right now it's in the parts pile that comes with the car:)
Too much Power - seriously - it overwhelms the tires easily - it currently has the 4.27's with Open diff right now, I just got a 4.08 and welded it but haven't put it in, and I have a 3.92 open diff I was going to put a LSD in all go wiht the car.  If you buy, we will fill up the back seat, the trunk - where the battery is mounted;-) And the passenger seat for your drive to leave the location.
Interior is bad, and stereo doesn't work.  It had a working stereo but in the process of making it look better, I took it out and put the stock one back in, now it doesn't' work.  I don't care, exhaust and BOV sound too good to quiet out.
Front rim got a curb mark, it's pretty deep on it, tires and rims had been mounted seriously 15 miles and didn't hit a curb, but a piece of the curb was broke off and in the road:/


I know it doesn't look like much - but it's SOOOOoooo close to being done.  A quick body panel alignment and paint job and she's Good to GO.  Interior pieces are there and can be repaired, it will need carpet I think, but you may be able to save it.

My time has been put on getting it together and getting it drivable, not much has been put into Fun factor.  I would jump in the car and drive it to Cali right now - I have no doubt about it running great, I have put 3500 miles on it in the last few months.

Auction is starting below what I want, so hoping it goes up, but for this price, you are getting an absolute Steal on this Swapped tagged and Legal 1JZ.

Cars most likely to be involved in accidents

Tue, Nov 30 2021

Data 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.

Production Lexus NX leaks online

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

The first photos of the new Lexus NX crossover have leaked onto the web over a week before its official debut at the Beijing Motor Show. These pictures are pretty blurry, but there is no mistaking that they show off the Japanese luxury brand's smaller, premium CUV.
While the teaser only gave us a glimpse at its pointed strip of LED running lights and angular grille, the new image proves that the CUV is definitely not afraid of sharp edges. However, compared to the original concept, it looks almost sedate. The production version drops the knife-like side mirrors for more conventional units, and the grille appears narrower. The vertical intakes at the edges of the front are dulled slightly but still present. The NX is indeed a polarizing vehicle - we'll be interested to see it in person. After all, we've grown to like the new IS after our first, shocking reaction. We should give Lexus some credit, too, for not following the premium CUV styling herd.
Seen elsewhere, these's an exterior photo that hints at a powertrain configuration. The bumper reads NX 300h, which likely indicates that there will be a hybrid version of the CUV. This is likely the same combined 220-horsepower system with a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle engine and electric motor found in the IS 300h in Europe. There is no word on whether that model will be sold here. It's rumored to be offered with a new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder as well. More details about the new Lexus are expected in China later this month.
