Up for sale is my 1992 Lexus Sc400 with 1jzgte motor. For its age this car is in excellent condition inside out. Has a big T4 turbo kit (good for 500hp). Kit was installed by ASE mechanic and done right. Vehicle comes with front mount intercooler, HKS Blow off valve, Tial external wastegate, apexi turbo timer (not yet installed) Fuel pressure regulator, wallbro fuel pump, full 3" downpipe all the way to y pipe 2.5" dual exhaust, all steel braided lines for the turbo return, feed and for fuel. Car is also on 19" hp racing rims and Tein lowering springs.
The car was painted over a couple years back. Car has genuine 2000 front bumper, 2000 yellow fog lights, 2000 tail lights,2000 gated shifter inside, new headlights with hid's + glass high beams so they will never become discolored. Inside it has an awesome head unit with navigation, bluetooth, mp3, dvd/cd/tv player. The full interior was replaced with brand new leather skins which I paid over $800 for and so the seats are not ripped or in horrible condition like your average SC. The inside wood trim has been changed to 3m carbon fiber for a modern look. I just installed new gauges, oil pressure, air fuel and boost gauge. Steering wheel was upgraded to 2003 IS300 wheel, ac lcd for climate control was replaced as well so it's clear and clean. I have invested well over 9k into this car and am just looking to get rid of it now as I have another project + a baby on the way and cannot sink any more money into this car. A boost controller is also included but had not been installed yet. Car also has HKS fuel cut defencer. Car pulls real hard and extremely fast. Very fun to drive and gets a lot of attention. I have driven this car with this setup for well over 1 year with no problems. the turbo has no shaft play whatsoever.
Now for the bad. I had custom ac lines installed but have not put gas in yet so no cold ac at the moment. the windshield has a hairline crack but not bad at all and the sunroof may have blown a fuse or possibly needs a motor. I also went for an allignment and the guy told me i will need a passenger side control arm real soon.
The car boosts fine, set at 9psi from wastegate spring but can take a lot more. I had it at 14psi before but changed the wastegate and this one is set at 9psi.I'm selling the car as is where is. I'm asking $4700 which is an extreme loss to me but I cannot keep the car any longer as I have a baby on the way. This is a serious car for a serious person. I can arrange to have this vehicle shipped anywhere in the USA for a reasonable price. PLEASE NO JOYRIDES!

2014 Lexus CT 200h gains familial hourglass figure
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Following reports from last week that a refreshed Lexus CT 200h would arrive in dealers for the 2014 model year, we've gotten our first glimpse of what said refresh entails, and well, at first glance, it's not much. Lexus has fitted its familial spindle-style grille and a new set of headlamps to the hybridized hatchback.
Out back, the CT 200h has gotten a set of slightly slimmer taillights, while the F-Sport model shown here sports a revised rear bumper, with what looks like a subtle diffuser and some vertical vents. All told, the exterior refinements are nice, if not subtle, additions to the five-door hatchback.
It's unclear if anything has changed inside the CT 200h, although we'd expect a similarly light refreshening in line with what's been done outside. As for the hybrid powertrain, we wouldn't expect a wholesale change in that department - at least until the next-generation CT arrives around 2016.
Lexus NX small CUV caught
Fri, 21 Jun 2013To the untrained eye, these photos might not look like anything more than a Lexus CT 200h undergoing testing, but what we really have here is something pretty significant. According to our spies, this is actually a mule that gives us our first glimpse at the upcoming Lexus NX crossover, a smaller vehicle that will slot below the RX in the automaker's CUV portfolio - presently only one vehicle.
Look closely, and you'll note that this mule has a much higher ride height than the normal CT hybrid hatchback. The upgraded wheels with crossover-spec tires are another dead giveaway that something more robust is being tested in this CT's shell.
Late last year, we learned that Lexus had reportedly trademarked the names "NX 200t" and "NX 300h," which provided a glimpse into the powertrain offerings for the new CUV. Lexus will finally make use of turbocharged power with this new NX - a 2.0-liter turbo-four fitting of the 200t nomenclature. A hybrid variant will almost certainly be available - the 300h - probably using the same 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and electric motor combination found in the ES 300h. Our spies report that a naturally aspirated, four-cylider version should also be available.
Thanks to smaller engines, vehicle dependability falls for first time in 16 years
Fri, Feb 14 2014As automakers have made engines smaller and smaller to improve fuel economy, problems in those vehicles have gotten bigger and bigger. That's the synopsis of a J.D. Power vehicle-dependability study, which found that dependability dropped for the first time in 16 years, largely because the proliferation of four-cylinder engines is causing the vehicles to be less reliable. Specifically, the number of problems per 100 vehicles (or what J.D. Power calls PP100) during the past 12 months for 2011 model-year vehicles rose six percent from the year-earlier figures for 2010 model-year cars. Singling out four-cylinder vehicles revealed about a 10-percent increase in problems during the past year. This issues largely related to engine hesitation, rough transmission shifting and lack of power, signaling the inability of vehicle makers to iron out some of the problems in their smaller engines as they strove for better fuel economy. Six- and five-cylinder engines proved far more reliable. Among car brands, BMW's Mini sub-brand came out as least reliable, with 185 problems per 100 vehicles during the past year. Toyota's Lexus badge was easily the most reliable, with just 68 problems per 100 vehicles. Coming in second place was Mercedes-Benz. The overall average was 133. Check out J.D. Power's press release below. J.D. Power Reports: Increased Engine and Transmission Problems Contribute to Decline in Vehicle Dependability for The First Time in More Than 15 Years General Motors Company Receives Eight Segment Awards, While Toyota Motor Corporation Garners Seven and Honda Motor Company Earns Six WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.: o Owners of 3-year-old vehicles (2011 model year) report more problems than did owners of 3-year-old vehicles last year, according to the J.D. Power 2014 U.S. Vehicle Dependability StudySM (VDS) released today. The study, now in its 25th year, examines problems experienced during the past 12 months by original owners of 2011 model-year vehicles. Overall dependability is determined by the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100), with a lower score reflecting higher quality. The study finds that overall vehicle dependability averages 133 PP100, a 6 percent increase in problems from 126 PP100 in 2013. This marks the first time since the 1998 study that the average number of problems has increased. "Until this year, we have seen a continual improvement in vehicle dependability," said David Sargent, vice president of global automotive at J.D.
