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.

2016 Lexus GS gets 2.0L turbo engine, updated styling

Fri, Aug 14 2015

The Lexus GS gets a number of enhancements for the 2016 model year, and the updated sedan makes its official debut in California during Monterey Car Week. The usual mid-cycle refresh styling nip/tuck is evident, but the bigger story is the addition of a new, rear-wheel-drive GS 200t model. Lexus' IS sedan isn't the only one getting turbo-four power for 2016. The GS 200t uses that same 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, good for 241 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. It's paired exclusively with an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, and Lexus says the GS 200t should be able to achieve 33 miles per gallon on the highway. Not to be left out, the naturally aspirated GS 350 gets a small power bump for 2016. The 3.5-liter V6 now produces 311 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque, up from 306 and 277, respectively. The GS 450h hybrid carries over with its powertrain unchanged, as well as its 29/34 mpg city/highway rating. Other changes for 2016 include standard bi-LED headlamps as part of the reworked front fascia, and a host of technology upgrades. The 12.3-inch central display screen now has full-width map capability, and the controller gets some extra "enter" buttons. Lexus also gave its Enform system some updates, with a Service Connect system. The ever-important Apple CarPlay and Android Auto features are missing from this update, though it's not exactly surprising. Have a look at the updated GS 200t in the gallery above, and scroll down for the full press blast.

The GS enters 2016 with a bolder design, a new GS 200t rear-wheel drive model and new luxury finishes that match the refinement of Monterey. The Lexus GS continues to feature impressive agility and sporty handling for turns along California Highway 1, as well as comfortable ride quality for extended highway driving.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

2018 Lexus LS 500 gets the F Sport treatment

Tue, Apr 11 2017

Lexus has used this year's auto show season for a continuous rollout of its all-new flagship sedan, the 2018 LS 500. It debuted in Detroit, followed by the hybrid LS 500h in Geneva. For New York, the updated LS gets the F Sport treatment, which includes design touches, chassis tuning and added stopping power. The 2018 Lexus LS F Sport, whether in gas-only or hybrid trim, receives a set of 20-inch alloy wheels and larger, six-piston caliper front and four-piston rear brakes. Up front, the F Sport grille is refined beyond that of the standard LS, and Lexus notes that it took CAD designers five months to get the desired look, with its 7,100 individual surfaces. Other visual changes include an enlarged side grille, unique rocker panels, trunk moldings, and, of course, F Sport badging. The Ultra White exterior is exclusive to the F Sport version. Inside the car, F Sport front seats offer more support for spirited driving. The driver commands the car through an F Sport steering wheel, aluminum pedals, and a perforated shift lever. Details like the Ultrasuede in the seats and headliner and brushed aluminum trim add to the interior's sporty refinement. For a bolder look, Lexus offers the F Sport-exclusive Circuit Red interior. Just one version, though – the rear-drive, gasoline LS 500 Â– will offer a handling package for more prowess on curvy roads. It features Lexus Dynamic Handling, which includes variable ratio steering, and active rear steering to help guide the rear wheels around corners. The sport tuned air suspension includes the Active Stabilizer system for flatter cornering. The powertrain and its output figures remain unchanged from the standard version. The new Lexus LS is set to go on sale in early 2018.
