LOOKING TO GET INTO LEMONS RACING OR CHUMP CAR? THIS IS A WELL SET UP CAR THAT NEEDS A HOME.! The care handles and brakes better than 90% of the cars in the pack, needed more horsepower so we added a blitz supercharger (details below)
First to answer a few stupid questions.
1.. NO, ITS NOT STREET LEGAL!
2. NO, IT CAN'T BE REGISTERED THERE IS NO TITLE Bought as a salvage car from a auto auction in WA - never got title but don't need it.
3. DON'T KNOW WHAT LEMONS RACING IS? go back to looking at hybrids and Honda Civics.. or google "24 hours of lemons"
Car has Blitz supercharger installed on a JY motor Thats JY as in Junk Yard not JDM ...The guy chomping the cigar at the JY said it had 98k.. good compression, no cylinder scuffing passed our visual inspection.. which should be enough to make the sane run away...
The blitz supercharger was obtained used, we installed it and it runs. The led on the controller doesn't turn on and we have 1 wire we cant figure out where it goes on the piggyback ecu controller. None of us are mechanics by trade so, in a moment of questionable thinking we decided to run two cars.. bad idea. .. we are sticking with one car.. we are keeping the Z because we only know how to work on ignition systems with 2 wires. I took auto shop over 20 years before this car was built and my walker fits in the back of thew Z .. that should explain enough..
Car specs
Car has Evil Genius Racing - roll cage with upgrades (nasa door bars etc)
Willwood big brakes up front, slotted, vented rotors, in car proportioning valve.new drums in back. This was a special edition car (was orange) and the guy who had it before was a tuner head.. so it has strut bars, bigger sway bars front & rear, tokiko shocks & lowering springs, (thats the way it came so they dont cost towars the $500.
1 race on Dunlop star spec 225/45/17 on alum rims. oil cooler, trans cooler, alum rad, header, and more !
OK for those new to Lemons Racing and those who don't know S@#% about lemons racing but like to comment "How is that a $500 car" First off - READ the RULES CAREFULLY... ... ,This was a double salvage vehicle. I bought from a insurance auction. (I work in insurance industry so I had the all important "inside scoop" Car was a TL circa 2008 sold as salvage, guy bought took out of state and rebuilt, car was was involved in ft & rear collision totaled sold without title so it can't be registered again..So you pay 1,209 for salvage car sell interior for 600, other odds and ends get a few hundred more and you are below the cap. When thinks break you get to replace. Bottom line is judge Phil knows if you show up with something that shouldn't be there. This car is a PERFECT LEMONS CAR. The spirit of lemons is to keep the cars close. .I have before and after pictures to show our repairs. car is straight with no structural damage .Items considered safety related don't count. this includes brakes, wheels, tires,, etc..
One prominent Lemons official said this would be a great car for a engine swap.. (they love engine swaps) toyota silver top or black top w 6 speed would be bad ass easy choice, really want to upgrade convert to real wheel drive, Really really want to impress, and give Team Double Suck a run, drop a second engine in..(they run two, two engine cars) There is lots of interior room.
Includes the all important burnt toast and smoke machine...
Racing seat is not included. but may throw in a Kirkey 17 inch on sparco sliders if price is fair..
email contact information for more details. I will call you and answer questions... and try to talk you into the most fun racing most of you will ever know..
Time Trials - you against some cones - forget it..
Class racing - to many rules and not enough cars.
LEMON RACING - NO BS RULES- YOU AND 160+ OR SO LIKE MINDED CRAZIES (who don't get panties in a bunch if you rub a bit of paint) 3 WIDE IN WHEEL TO WHEEL RACING .. Strap on a pair and try it!
CAR IS IN SF BAY AREA (CA) AND NEEDS TO BE PICKED UP - TRAILER OR TOW. DELIVERY WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE A POSSIBILITY TO BE AGREED UPON. IF SHIPPING CHECK WITH SHIPPER CAR IS VERY LOW.
cash talks - I reserve the right to end auction early.

Hi-po Toyota GT86 to get KERS?
Fri, 09 Nov 2012We happen to like the Toyota GT86 - and, it of course goes without saying that the same applies to the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S, as well - just the way it is. Yes, that includes the standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer engine and its 200 horsepower at 7,000 rpm.
That said, a little extra power never hurt anybody, right?
The most obvious way to add some punch to the GT86 would be with a turbocharger, and that has indeed long been rumored for an STI version of the BRZ. Will Toyota follow suit? According to Top Gear, the answer is no. Says GT86 chief engineer Tetsuya Tada, "I think 300bhp with a turbo and 200g/km of CO2 would be tasteless in this day and age. And a turbo would mean the loss of the GT86's uniqueness." Perhaps a bit harsh, but there you go.
Scion's SEMA show cars display tuner creativity [w/videos]
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Scion brought four FR-S concepts to SEMA this year and one xB concept, while another three Scion tCs were brought to the show by three different shops that are competing in Scion's Tuner Challenge. The modified Scions range from mild to insane, and show how popular they are in the tuner world.
The Tuner Challenge teams brought unique creations to SEMA, after Scion gave each of them a tC, $15,000 and 90 days to modify it. At 11:00 AM on Wednesday, judges picked the Young Tea Scion Simpli-tC as the winner, the Walter Franco Scion L-DZ Concept got second, and third place went to the Josh Croll Scion WSD-tC. Check out the three videos below to watch the tC builds from start to finish.
Out of the FR-S concepts brought to the show, we're gravitating toward the GReddy Performance x Scion Racing Drift FR-S (top), which has the venerable 2JZ-GTE turbocharged straight-six engine in place of the flat-four that comes standard in the rear-wheel-drive coupe - ready to pump out 750 horsepower - and the Bulletproof FR-S Concept One, which features a striking, handmade wide body and a heavily modified, turbocharged flat-four that puts out 500 hp.
Scion gets weird with '70s-inspired xB and Slayer tC at SEMA
Tue, 04 Nov 2014Scion certainly isn't afraid of taking a step into the bizarre at this year's SEMA Show, with at least two concepts that are probably the last thing you would expect from the brand.
First, the company is taking a step back into the 1970s heyday of custom vans with the Scion x Riley Hawk Skate Tour xB seen above. It's painted in an eye-popping shade of orange with an oh-so-retro white, yellow and card red stripe running down both sides. The fenders are connected by a streak of brown, and there's a pop-up skateboard holder on the roof in a matching color scheme to the rest of the body. The Cragar-look wheels trimmed in raised white letter tires and the throwback mirrors really sell the period look. The interior is similarly decked out in disco-era touches like shag carpeting, woodgrain trim and brown leather. In a nod towards the modern, there's a Pioneer media center in the back.
If the xB is too sunshine-feel-good for your style, then the Scion x Slayer Mobile Amp tC goes for an angrier vibe, with inspiration from the heavy metal band Slayer. The exterior is inky black with airbrushed skulls running over each side and the band's crossed-swords emblem on the hood. The motif is carried to the wheels with their blade-shaped spokes. When the custom's suicide doors open, you find a massive Pioneer sound system with a tower of speakers inside that should be loud enough to deafen anyone tempted to turn it up to 11.
