The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

This car currently has a clear PA Title that was issued to me in 2007 when I bought the car fom someone in Oh. The OH title was an R title because the car was wrecked on the front drivers side in 2005. It was then rebuilt and retitled. I have owned it since 2007 and have had no problems with it. It drives straight and the steering is firm.

In 2010 I pulled the motor and swapped in a 2 JZGTE- VVTI ARISTO engine from Japan with 30k miles. At the time of the swap my car had 78k miles. The twins were pulled off the engine and a T-67 turbo is installed. All the seals and the timing belt were replaced before the motor was put in my car. The engine is controlled by a haltec f10x. The engine is stock with the addition of HKS- DLI ignition. Fuel is supplied by an in tank Walboro 255 pump, the supply and return lines are braided -6an hoses. It has a full 3 in exhaust with a hi flow cat.

The interior is stock except for a blitz turbo timer and a 3 gauge pod in the center console w/ A/F ratio, boost, and trans temp.

In 2010 I had a Carson tuned replica front bumper and elixir rear lip and side skirts installed and the whole car was repainted. The windows and tail lights are tinted and the head lights were taken apart and painted black and halos were installed as day time running lights.

The wheels are 3 piece JLINE 10RL3's in polish finish. Fronts are 19x8.5 w/ 225-35-19's rears are 19x9.5x19 w/ 265-30-19's. The drivers front wheel has a slow leak where the wheels bolt together, it needs re-sealed.

Last year I replaced the stock trans with a fully built race transmission with an upgrades valve body, sprag and a 3200 stall that I bought off of someone else. Since then the car misses 3rd gear when launched from a stop. It drives fine in normal conditions, I drive it now on a weekly basis. I do not know if it is something to do with the tuning and shift points with the new trans, or if the 3rd gear sprag is going bad and i haven't had time to have it looked at. I also have the stock transmission that will go with the car if wanted.

The car was tuned prior to the trans swap by Ray at PF Supercars and made 333 rwhp at 13 psi. I did not want to push it with the stock transmission at the time.

I believe that is all, if you have any other questions just ask.

The car is for sale here and I can end the auction if it sells here.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.

BMW M4 vs. Lexus RC F in Head 2 Head sports coupe showdown

Wed, 29 Oct 2014

It's the showdown everyone's been looking forward to, the East versus West grudge match of the year. We're talking, of course, about the BMW M4 versus the Lexus RC F.
Although BMW uses a twin-turbo straight-six and the Lexus uses a free-breathing V8, the two are pretty closely matched on paper: a luxury coupe with over 400 horsepower channeled to the rear wheels.
The BMW has been doing these cars for longer, and the M4 boasts a higher power-to-weight ratio. But then the RC F has more power - and without forced induction to break up the rev range. So which is the better luxury muscle coupe? Watch the latest episode of Motor Trend Head 2 Head to find out.

2014 Lexus IS prototype

Thu, 06 Dec 2012

No one was comparing the IS to the BMW 3 Series, and for Lexus that was a problem.
At the beginning of 2011, we rocked up to the parking lot at Southern California's Santa Anita Raceway to test the 2012 Lexus GS. This was the first sedan in the luxury brand's lineup to reset its intentions on the balance of sport and luxury. The previous GS had blanched into mute tepidity, and the new generation we drove on an autocross course and on a canyon road corrected just about everything; we liked its looks, and the Variable Gear Ratio Steering- and Adaptive Variable Suspension-equipped car moved its abilities into the realm of a true sports sedan, and it was great to drive. They absolutely nailed it.
