1992 Lexus SC300. 1992 1JZGTE soarer engine swap.

I personally built this car (and many more throughout the years) starting back in 2005. Built for the utmost reliability in any condition. Never raced legally or illegally. In the last few years my interests have moved on to other things and unfortunately the car has spent most of the last 5 years sitting in a carport. Built using the best parts available, no chinese rip offs!! The goal of the build was pump gas performance. I don't care what it could do on race gas.  It's too fast for me and I keep boost at wastegate (10psi), but on a good 93 octane tune it dynos just over 500whp at 18psi.

Never crashed, wrecked, or salvaged title. Wasn't a "shell" or anything shady. Squeaky clean carfax. I purchased the stock car originally from Raz at IMV films to fund their famous "Vehicular Lunatics" film. I am the 3rd owner the car was originally purchased in south Florida, I have that paperwork in the glove box.

Chassis:
-Imported late 90's SSR Varden Sport Schwartz 3 piece forged rims. Ultra rare period correct rims.

-Daizen Urethane bushings throughout
-Koni Yellow shocks
-Factory MKIV TT springs to retain some level of comfort and the ability to drive over speedbumps.  Lowered nearly 2in from stock height.
-Cusco Strut tower brace
-LS400 front brake calipers, EBC rotors/pads
-Factory rear brakes to fit 15" Weld racing rims if I ever did want to race it
-Battery relocated to the trunk (Recently new AGM cell)
-New front tires, rear tires 40% but I have matching extras ready to go when these wear out!

Engine:
-Precision PT 74 GTS turbo
-Precision intercooler
-Turbonetics blow off valve
-Tial 44mm wastegate
-Custom made ($1200) equal length 1JZ manifold. Ported and polished. Ceramic coated inside and out.
-550cc low resistance side feed injectors (wire harness modified for low resistance injectors with MKIII Supra resistor)
-2JZGTE headgasket for upgraded rear cylinder cooling
-Twin turbo water passages TIG welded shut to avoid leaks when twins were removed for single
-Custom ordered SARD re-flashed ECU with no speed/boost limiations and custom fuel/ignition map for the single turbo. SAFC2 for fine tuning when boost changes are made. Insanely reliable setup. 18mpg city/25+ highway.  Something you can't do with a AEM!
-Griffith MKIV aluminum radiator
-Greddy catch can
-TTE Performance custom spark plug cover

Driveline:
-Automatic Transmission Factory Stage III a340e automatic transmission. Capable of taking the abuse of 8 second 1/4mi passes for years. Bulletproof. Best transmission money can buy. Less than 2 years old and maybe 500 miles on it.
-2500 stall converter
-Factory Torsen LSD
-Two transmission coolers, front mount and radiator mount. 
-Factory driveshaft to serve as "weak link" so you don't break axles or rear ends.  It has and will twist a driveshaft like a pretzel.

Interior:
-Factory grey interior
-1997 MKIV Black leather front seats
-Toyota Soarer steering wheel
-Sony CDX-GT700HD stereo (hd, ipod, etc)
-3M 15% black tint

Body:
-Repainted in 2009 factory color with DuPont Base/Clear
-1997 front bumper
-Wise "whale tale" rear spoiler (not installed)
-JDM folding mirrors
-JDM side markers

I'm sure there's a lot more I forgot.

The Bad:
Car sat for years, took it's toll on some things. The A/C kinda gets cold but needs a re-charge I will probably do that this weekend. Something in the sunroof motor broke, it's manual control now. It was parked with the rear facing south in a carport so the rear trunk/bumper clear coat is faded even though it was repainted with DuPont 5 years ago.  A good buff will bring back the car nearly perfect but the rear trunk/bumper will need repainting.  The interior is typical of a car that sat for a few years, needs a good detail.  Rear seats could be recovered (typical sc300 issue).  I never installed the cruise control cable, but if you can find a MKIV TT one it will work. I drive the car weekly now to get some use on it and it runs perfect aside from those things. Years ago you could eat off this car back when I was in the "car scene".  It's been to many car shows. It's famously known as the "Two Jay Z with Nas" meme car. I'm sure you've seen that image.

Give the keys to your grandma if she wants to drive it to church, take it for a cross country road trip with your friends.  No quirks, ghetto procedures, "things" to remember.

Lincoln MKC crossover adopts the Continental's grille

Thu, Jun 15 2017

The last vestiges of the controversial split Lincoln grille are slowly being removed as the company revamps its lineup. It started with the MKZ and Continental, with the most recent rhinoplasty recipient being the Navigator. Now, based on spy shots, it looks like the MKC crossover will be the fourth to get the new corporate grille. Under the heavy vinyl coverings, we can clearly see the proud Continental-inspired grille. We can also see that it will feature the same chrome mesh with Lincoln badge-shaped openings found on other cars with the grille design. We can also assume that the headlights will receive a substantial refresh, but the lower bumper doesn't look particularly different. The rest of this prototype MKC looks the same as the existing model. The back is covered, which indicates that the taillights may be updated. We wouldn't expect a radically different look, since the MKC already has a full-width taillight treatment. We also noticed that the wheels appear to be inspired by the cool turbine wheels of the Navigator. Whatever the other changes are, we'll probably see them soon. This is clearly just a refresh, and so there's a good chance we'll see the production model revealed by the end of the year, or early next year at the latest. Related Video:

Lexus talks LFA successor

Sat, 09 Aug 2014

Did you just miss out on purchasing one of the 500 Lexus LFA supercars built between 2010 and 2012? "No big deal," you're probably thinking, "I'll just wait until the next time Lexus builds a supercar." Well, we're afraid that you'll be waiting quite a long time. And by long time, we mean about 30 years.
That's according to a report from Bloomberg, which indicates that yes, Lexus is looking at a follow-up to the V10-powered, carbon-fiber-bodied LFA.
"Akio [Toyoda] believes that every generation deserves to have a car like an LFA, so we're building an LFA for the generation we have today," Lexus Executive Vice President Mark Templin told Bloomberg. "At some point, there may be another special car for another generation."

Mercedes, Infiniti, Lexus rank tops with mystery shoppers

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

If you want the best experience possible when buying a new car, then you'd better head down to your local Mercedes-Benz, Infiniti, or Lexus showroom. According a mystery shopper study conducted by the Pied Piper Prospect Satisfaction Index, those three luxury brands ranked highest among the 33 makes surveyed. The highest scoring mainstream brands included GMC, Hyundai, Kia, and Ford.
The study asked 5,203 mystery shoppers about the tactics used by salespeople during their most recent automotive purchases, and found a few interesting parallels along the way. For example, dealers at Infiniti, Land Rover, and Smart leaned heavily on vehicle walk-arounds with potential customers, while Jaguar, Volvo, and Audi were quick to point out exclusive features.
This study contrasts with a similar study conducted by JD Power in 2012. Its Sales Satisfaction Survey listed Mini as the top scorer, while Pied Piper's mystery shoppers ranked the BMW-owned brand below the industry average. Lexus scored highly on both surveys, as did Infiniti and GMC.
