Year:1992 Mileage:195000
Location:

Melbourne, Florida, United States

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.

'Next Lexus F' teased ahead of Detroit debut

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

We've got absolutely zero actual information from the automaker on what its "Next Lexus F" will be, other than what was just released today in this brief press release and lone teaser image, but our best guess is that it's the next-generation IS-F sedan. The timing would make sense, considering that the latest IS just hit the market earlier this year as a 2014 model.
Since we know so little, we'll just share some of the exuberant marketing speak contained in the press release for your reading pleasure:
Designed from the asphalt up, to strike at the heart, the newest Lexus F model will debut at the January 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Toyota and Lexus show off advanced safety research vehicle [w/video]

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

While Google and Audi explore the possibilities of autonomous vehicles, Toyota and its Lexus division are studying the intermediate step of vehicles equipped with a deep suite of technology that help drivers make the best decisions. Introduced at this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the Lexus advanced safety research vehicle is an LS sedan fitted with three high-def color cameras to detect objects up to almost 500 feet away, 360-degree Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) lasers that can detect objects up to 220 feet away, three radar units to keep track of other vehicles at intersections, a precision odometer on the rear wheel, GPS that estimates orientation and an accelerometer.
Currently testing at a purpose-built 8.6 acre urban testing ground at the Higashi-Fuji Technical Center in Susono, Japan the Toyota research vehicle is being used to study how to make better drivers, as well as figuring out how to reduce crashes as the industry's journey through passive and active safety systems progresses. In the event of a crash, new rescue systems are also being tested.
Further investment is being put into the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) that would use shortwave signals to harness information from the car and from other vehicles on the road, as well as roadside infrastructure and even pedestrians. Toyota reasons it could then build a picture of interactions and, for instance, alert the driver to a potential collision at a blind intersection.

Toyota, Lexus will offer low-cost automated braking system

Mon, Mar 30 2015

First, a technology gets better, then it gets a lot better, then it gets less expensive, then it gets a lot less expensive. Advanced driver safety and convenience systems are about to make that last step thanks to Toyota. Centered around a pre-collision braking system, there will be three suites of driver aids known as Toyota Safety Sense C (TSS C) for compact cars, Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS P) for midsized and premium cars, and Lexus Safety System+ (LSS+) for the luxury brand. TSS C pairs a camera with laser radar to provide a pre-collision system that prompts the driver to brake if it detects an impending accident, and can supply additional braking force and automatically brake between seven and fifty miles per hour. There are also Lane Departure Alert and Automatic High Beam. TSS P pairs a camera with more precise millimeter-wave radar. Starting with the three functions in TSS C, it adds pedestrian pre-collision capability and adaptive cruise control. This one will be available first, coming on the new RAV4 Hybrid and Avalon. TSS - either C or P - will expand to three more vehicles by the end of the year. The wallop is in the price: TSS C will be a $300 option, TSS P will cost $500. Compare the Ford Fusion SE, for instance - it's Driver Assistance Package comes with Lane Departure Warning, Automatic High Beams, it has Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot and Cross Traffic Detection that neither TSS has, but doesn't have any autonomous braking feature. It costs $1,200, but requires you to add the Technology and Luxury Packages for a total price of $3,165. If you want Autonomous Cruise Control, that's another $995, for $4,160 in total. Instead of $300 or $500 on the Toyota. Lexus' LSS+ will come first on the new RX then spread to four more models by the end of this year, and cost between $500 and $635 to add as an option. It also uses a camera and millimeter-wave radar for its vehicle and pedestrian pre-collision system, lane departure warning and lane keep assist, automatic high beam, and auto cruise control. The similar package on a BMW X5, with no pedestrian component, is $1,200. Toyota says both safety suites will eventually be on "nearly all" of it products and all trim levels by the end of 2017.
