1997 Lexus Sc300 W/ Turbo Kit on 2040-cars
Osseo, Minnesota, United States
I am selling my 1997 Lexus SC300. The reason I'm selling it is because I need a year-round car that can handle these Minnesota winters. This car has been good to me. There have been no problems since I've had the car in my possession. I've only driven it in the spring and summer seasons and have always kept up with routine maintenance. Other than the cruise control cable needing to be hooked back up, everything on this car works. My brother-in-law removed it when test fitting the turbo.
Quick rundown of the car- 1997 Lexus SC300 It has a black exterior with black leather interior, stored from late fall to mid-spring by myself and the previous owner so it has no rust. It has it's dings here and there on the body, but very minor for a 17 year old car. Front bumper has rock and paint chips which you can see in the pictures. It was originally an automatic, but was swapped to a 5-speed manual. The transmission is a W58 with an aftermarket 6-puck clutch. Some mods that it has- 18x10 Rota Grid rims/Megan coilovers/LS400 Big Brake Kit with cross drilled and slotted rotors/HIC rear window visor Blitz Nur axle back exhaust/Full sound system with Pioneer touch screen/two 10" Kicker Comp series subs/Vibe amp HID fog 3k /lowbeams 8k (fogs could use new ballasts) I'm also throwing in an almost complete turbo kit. You can see in the pictures that it comes with a lot of parts like the turbo, exhaust manifold with external wastegate and dump tube, big intercooler and 3 inch piping, downpipe, BOV, AEM wideband gauge, Autometer Boost and Oil gauges, 3 gauge pillar pod, oil tap, and a box with hoses, gaskets, and other misc parts. The only big thing that it's missing is fuel management and small misc items like a couple of gaskets and hoses Contact me with any questions you may have. I also have the car for sale in locally and RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL THIS AUCTION AT ANY TIME*** The car is ***SOLD AS IS*** and has NO WARRANTIES what so ever ***SHIPPING IS 100% ON THE BUYER to arrange**** I will want a $500.00 DEPOSIT WITHIN 48 HOURS OF PURCHASE |

2013 Lexus ES300h
Wed, 27 Feb 2013The Lexus ES lineup, the brand's bread-and-butter sedan, has been completely redone for 2013. With that tip-to-tail rework comes the model's first hybrid. We think the ES350 is better in every way than its predecessor, so a spin in the ES300h is warranted to see what it's like to live with the model sure to become the best-selling Lexus hybrid sedan. In particular, we wanted to see how the gas-electric luxury cruiser handled the battery-sapping realities of winter, so we ventured out into the slush and snow to file this report.
Driving Notes:
Peel away the slush, and this car sure is sharp-looking. It strongly resembles the excellent new GS, no bad thing. With the move to the longer Toyota Avalon underpinnings, the ES300h is long and elegant. Lexus has really upped its styling game lately.
Vice chronicles Okinawa's illegal street racing scene
Mon, 10 Mar 2014We all know that street racing is dangerous, and that motorsports are best left on the track or drag strip. However, that doesn't mean that there still isn't some outlaw allure among enthusiasts of racing on public roads. In this video, Vice Japan profiles Eikichi Nagayoshi of Japan's island of Okinawa. He is a used car dealer by day and an illegal racer by night.
Nagayoshi has a deep love for his highly customized Toyota Aristo (better known to us as a first-generation Lexus GS) that he claims produces over 1,000 horsepower and has hit 205 miles per hour. He races his car both on drag strips and in drifting competitions, but says that he often has to ship the car to mainland Japan to compete. In the absence of those opportunities, he sometimes gathers friends and takes the racing to the public roads. While we're not down with street racing, this Vice video is an intriguing personality piece, as well as a look into Japan's fabled underground racing scene. Scroll down to check out the video, but make sure you have the "CC" button clicked, because several portions are subtitled.
This is what a Lexus RC-based 'four-door coupe' might look like
Mon, 02 Jun 2014It feels like there is a secret law in Germany mandating that every domestic automaker there must offer at least one model with a four-door coupe bodystyle like the BMW Gran Coupes, Mercedes-Benz CLS and Audi A7. Several of the German brands even have the swoopy sedans in multiple sizes. So far, Lexus has stayed out of that fray, but maybe not for long, if a recently spotted test car makes it to market.
The brand is known to be testing a highly styled four-door coupe, roughly the size of the GS, under heavy camouflage. Little is known about the new model at the moment, but its existence makes sense. If it really wants to take the on Germans, Lexus is going to have to fight them toe-to-toe with competing models - especially with ones understood to have high margins.
Pictured above is a rendering from artist Theophilus Chin imagining a slightly smaller take on the genre based on the RC coupe, which he calls the RC GT. His design leaves the original shape almost untouched, but shortens the front doors to allow room for a rear doors under the arching roof. His GT would be aimed more against the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe and rumored Mercedes-Benz C-Class four-door coupe, rather than the larger models Lexus actually appears to be targeting with its vehicle under development. His concept certainly nails the look, though, and while it might not have a basis in reality, we thought that it's well-resolved enough that you'd want to take a look, if only as a "what could've been" flight of fancy.
