General Info: This like new HKS Supercharged 2013 Scion FR-S has only 482 ORIGINAL miles, $20,103 worth of aftermarket upgrades (NOT including thousands more in labor and dyno tuning costs) from all premium high end brands, a factory warranty, a 6-speed manual transmission, the optional factory ‘Whiteout’ paint upgrade with a custom vinyl wrap on it which can be removed, and black suede interior with red stitching accents on the seats/doors/steering wheel/shift boot. It still has the factory catalytic convertors and NO check engine lights, so yearly inspections and emissions tests are no problem! Our company, SpeedForSale Motorsports, built this car for the Motovicity ‘Ticket To Ride’ contest and track day at Irwindale Speedway road course in California where it was driven by 2013 Formula D Champion Michael Essa and Tyler McQuarrie to test it’s before-and-after performance with all of the new upgrades listed below. This FR-S beat a similarly modified 2013 Mustang GT V8 by almost 1 second on the road course and took only 102 feet to stop from 60 to 0 MPH! You can find complete details from the blog MotoIQ.com about it’s build from a brand new stock FR-S to the reliably built street car and part-time track day animal it is now by viewing the links shown below. Here is a quote from the track day comparison article regarding this FR-S compared to the modified Mustang GT V8: “The Ticket To Ride FR-S was also greatly improved and being lighter on its feet, was still the preferred car by our drivers.” It made a conservative 220 wheel horsepower (about 260 HP at
the crank with a light 2800 pound weight) at 6psi of boost on our Mustang-brand
dyno using 93 octane gasoline with the STOCK fuel injectors and catalytic
convertors. So, it has much more power
to be had with a simple fuel injector upgrade, race exhaust header and
mid-pipe, and removal of the HKS Supercharger’s intake restrictor which limits
boost by 2-3psi. It starts and drives
just like a factory FR-S with no compromises.
The vinyl body wrap on it can be removed, and we still have all of the
original Scion/FR-S badges to put back on the body. It has ALL matching VIN tags in place, and
has never been in any wrecks or had any damage/paint work. The car has no leaks or smoke. It's like a brand new
factory built performance model that Scion never offered…but should have! Special thanks to Motovicity Distribution for
the opportunity!

Santa swaps his sleigh for a Ferrari-powered Toyota
Fri, Dec 23 2016A Ferrari-powered Toyota 86 is sure to garner a bit of attention, as well it should. We've been paying attention throughout this build, so it should be no surprise then that Santa did as well. He's ditched his red sleigh for the Gumout GT4586 in this video. If you've been following along, you know that Ryan Tuerck and Gumout built this completely bonkers machine that's far more exciting than some previous Japanese/Italian mash-up automobiles. Donut Media has been doing their part to document and promote every stage of the process. This new video is filled with the gratuitous amounts of lights, noise, and tire smoke that Donut is known for. We don't know the conversion from horsepower to reindeerpower, but the GT4586 should provide plenty of oomph for Santa's Christmas trek.

FR-S with Targa-style top leads Scion's SEMA brigade
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The Scion brand seems to be a bit rudderless in the auto industry at the moment. The company just doesn't seem to know what audience it wants to appeal to. For this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the automakers is kind of just going wild with bizarre customs like a turbocharged FR-S with a targa top (pictured above).
Taking the roof off of a FR-S isn't an entirely new idea, but this targa-top version at SEMA is certainly a new take. In addition to just chopping a panel out of the roof, the custom also adds a louvered rear window in an especially cool touch that lends an '80s coupe vibe. To take the wild look even further, the car wears a bespoke wide body kit with an integrated rear spoiler and center-mount exhaust, and all of the bodywork is done in metal. Being for the premiere aftermarket show, performance also has to play a role, and the upgrades include a Greddy turbo kit, coil-over suspension from KW and big brakes from Wilwood.
If the FR-S seemed just slightly inspired by the '80s, the xB for the show goes for a look that's a decade older with inspiration from '70s conversion vans and skateboarding. With design help from skateboarder Riley Hawk, the custom is painted in shades of groovy earth tones with bubble windows in the rear, and the cargo box on the roof stores skateboards. The interior features touchstones of the time with a mix of wood-grain trim, shag carpet and comfy brown leather.
Weekly Recap: GM scales back as Russian auto market teeters
Sat, Mar 21 2015General Motors' extensive plans to scale back its Russian operations are the latest sign the automotive market in the former superpower is collapsing – and there are few signs of recovery. GM said Wednesday it will stop selling mainstream Chevrolets and shutter the entire Opel brand in Russia. The moves leave GM with a luxury-focused presence consisting of Cadillac and Chevrolet's Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The cutbacks will be completed by the end of the year. The automaker will also idle its factory in St. Petersburg and end a contract-assembly agreement with Russian manufacturer GAZ. "We had to take decisive action in Russia to protect our business," Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said in a statement. "We confirm our outlook to return the European business to profitability in 2016 and stick to our long-term goals." GM is the latest automaker to scale back in Russia as the economic conditions, volatile currency and uncertainty over the conflict in the Ukraine all have sandbagged new car sales. Last month, vehicle sales collapsed 38 percent in Russia to 128,298 units, according to the Association of European Business, which records sales. Joerg Schreiber, chairman of the AEB automobile manufacturers committee, didn't even feign optimism in a statement announcing the figures. "The market is entering a very difficult phase now, and February is only the beginning," he said. "Industry sentiment is the next few months will be extremely difficult and the market bottom has yet to be found." The dovetails with industry experts, who predict the Russian auto sector will remain in the doldrums. IHS said earlier this year it expects Russia's sales to slip to just 1.8 million units in 2015, which is a 40-percent drop from 2012. Other News & Notes Chief leads Jeep's Easter Safari stable Jeep is bringing seven attention-getting concepts to Moab for its annual Easter Safari off-roading celebration in Utah, but the Chief is perhaps the standout of the group. It salutes the 1970s Cherokee with a throwback appearance and surfer styling cues. The Chief has a custom modified razor grille made famous by the Wagoneer, and it rolls on 17-inch slotted mag wheels. The surf theme comes in with ocean blue paint, floral cloth and leather seats and a tiki-style shifter handle. Based on the Jeep Wrangler, the Chief has removable sides, a 3.6-liter V6 engine and a six-speed manual gearbox.
