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.

Bought when it had around 275000 miles, but now has 291797. The mileage may seem high, but these 2jz motors are built to last and can take a beating.

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

Japanese earthquakes send ripples through auto industry

Mon, Apr 18 2016

The earthquakes since April 14 in Japan's Kumamoto Prefecture on the island of Kyushu are having aftershocks on the US auto industry, particularly for Toyota. The company shut down most of its factories in the country due to parts shortages, and the plants will be closed at least through April 23. "Decisions regarding recommencement of operation at plants in Japan will be made on the basis of availability of parts," the company said in a statement. According to Automotive News, Toyota's closed factories include a vast range of popular models in the US, including the Toyota Prius, Mirai, RAV4, 4Runner, Land Cruiser, Lexus ES, LS, IS, GS, RC, NX, RX, GX, and LX. The company's only sites in Japan that are still open build Hino trucks, Daihatsu models, and the Toyota Century limo. Toyota isn't yet sure whether these shutdowns could lead to vehicle shortages in the US. "As you can imagine, we are still reviewing the situation and working to learn more," company spokesperson Aaron Fowles told Autoblog. "While we know that production will be suspended in stages at most of our vehicle assembly facilities in Japan between April 18th and the 23rd, we do not know if they will continue production suspensions. Also, any effects to our inventory and/or sales have yet to be determined." He expects the automaker to know more in the coming days. Many of the affected Toyota plants aren't even in Kumamoto Prefecture, but major suppliers have factories in the region. For example, Aisin Seiki and Renesas Electronics both had to shutdown operations at plants in the area, according to Automotive News. Toyota isn't the only automaker affected. Nissan experienced a brief slowdown but was back to work on Monday, and Honda has suspended a motorcycle plant in the region until Friday. Mitsubishi had to close a production line due to the parts shortage, according to The Japan Times, but it didn't affect US models. "A supplier to our Mizushima plant has been impacted but they only supply an engine part for our mini car line. That line has been temporarily shut down due to that situation," spokesperson Alex Fedorak told Autoblog. "That same plant builds the Lancer and i-MiEv and there has been no impact to that line and production continues uninterrupted." Two major quakes hit Kumamoto Prefecture around Kumamoto city in the past week. The first on April 14 measured 6.4 magnitude, and a second on April 16 measured 7.3.

Chevy Camaro ZL1, Lexus LFA celebrate National Donut Day

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

Happy National Donut Day, everyone! While some of us may have already celebrated this high-caloric holiday at our local Dunkin' Donuts or Tim Horton's, Chevrolet and Lexus have taken the opportunity to offer us delicious donuts of a different sort. Using a "professional donut maker" and a 2013 Camaro ZL1, Chevy has released a video of its 580-horsepower coupe laying down some serious rubber. Lexus has countered with its LFA supercar and, oddly, LPGA pro golfer Natalie Gulbis.
Just like many of the donut chains across the country, Chevy and Lexus are giving away these donuts for free. Not only do their donuts contain zero fat, they're also easily enjoyable over the Internet, albeit nowhere near as tasty as a Krispy Kreme. Scroll down to enjoy both videos.

Florida police officer injured by DUI suspect after traffic stop

Thu, Jan 8 2015

What started as a fairly normal traffic stop for Sergeant Kerstan Tatro ended with him lying on the ground with a compound fracture in his arm. The policeman in Gulf Breeze, FL, pulled over a woman driving a Lexus SC 430 because her erratic driving suggested that she might be under the influence. It all went well until Tatro asked the driver to perform a field sobriety test and she sped away partially trapping the officer in the car. It was all captured by the cruiser's dashcam. As the woman started to drive away, Tatro tried to grab for the keys. He was too late, though, and she got on the gas. The Lexus ran over the officer's foot and caused the serious injury to his arm. Thankfully, bystanders were at the policeman's side within a few seconds of him being hurt. By coincidence, even Tatro's daughter was driving by the time, and was pretty shaken by her dad's condition. According to the Pensacola News Journal, a witness to the officer's injuries followed the woman to a hotel parking lot and told police where she was. They allegedly found drugs in her possession. Below is a video from the Pensacola News Journal interviewing Tatro, and he gives a thorough account of exactly what happened. This content is hosted by a third party.
