For Sale: 1983 Toyota Celica Supra.
This vehicle is becoming very rare on the streets. It was Toyota's top Luxury Sports car and is loaded with many features which were cutting edge in 1983.
Features:
2.8 liter inline-6 cylinder DOHC engine. 5Speed Manual transmission, Speed-sensitive power rack and pinion steering. Four wheel disc brakes. Independent Rear Suspension. Limited Slip Differential. Interior features factory Recaro bucket seats, 8-way adjustable for the driver. Automatic Climate Control, Power Moon Roof, Cruise Control, basically, Power "Everything".
Current Condition of the Car:
The a/c blows cold, and has a brand new Toyota brand compressor with a fresh charge of freon. The power windows both roll up and down....a little slow sometimes. The Cruise did work a while back..didn't the other day. Could be simple fix ? The power moon roof works, radio annt..goes up and down fine. The radio has been replaced with a Sony CD player and some 6x9 boxes in the luggage area.
The engine runs great and is very smooth and quiet. I drove this car from Washington DC to Tucson AZ back in September without a single problem! I had it checked out first and replaced the front brakes and did a tune-up at that point. The tires are fairly new BfGoodrich TAs and have lots of life left. The five speed and the clutch engage solidly and the brakes are fantastic. I got an average of 24 MPG on that trip averaging around 80 miles per hour. (3000 miles in four days!) It is an enjoyable car to take on a road trip.
Modifications:
The exhaust has been replaced from the cat-convertor back and has a Magnaflow twin-tip canister that is just a bit louder than grandpa likes and perhaps not loud enough for teenagers. Also, the car has been lowered about 1.5" on high quality Suspension Technique Springs made in Germany. This car handles very nice and rides smooth without any bouncing around like you might expect a lowered car. It also has an aftermarket cone-style cold air intake setup. No other modifications I know of.
Why I am selling:
I have two of these cars and have chosen to keep the other one. Got to make room in the driveway.
Things You should know:
The paint work is not too good. Good enough for a driver, but not for showing off. The shifter is sloppy, but there is NO issues going in and out of gears. A bushing replacement will cure that problem. The a/c blows ice-cold, but there is some sort of problem in the dash that won't allow the air to come out to the front vents. It blows up on the windshield and down on the floor only. The timing belt and a head gasket were replaced years ago, but I don't know when that was. There is no issue, just good to check that out soon. The car burns a little oil like any 30 yr old car. It doesn't have any clicks or clatters or disturbing noises though, and runs super quiet except for that exhaust out back.
There is nothing to keep you from driving this car home. Even long distances, however: I must say :it is a 30 yr old car and anything could happen. Your choice.
Just a cool classic Japanese Grand Tourer to enjoy and care for! Please ask any questions through e-bay and if you are serious about the car, you can ask for my number.. Thanks and Good Luck Bidding!

Toyota GT86 14R-60 shows how to do lightweight at a steep price
Sat, 11 Oct 2014Toyota is finally making good on its Griffon concept from last year with this limited-edition 14R-60 that basically hops through the Toyota Racing Development catalog to imagine the ultimate lightweight GT86 (the continental relative to the Scion FR-S/Subaru BR-Z). Unfortunately, it's not coming stateside, and even if this modded Toyobaru were coming here, you might not want to pay the rather steep price.
Like the concept, the 2.0-liter boxer engine still makes the same 197 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. However, the drivetrain isn't entirely untouched thanks to a new air filter, engine oil cooler, a reinforced clutch, lightweight flywheel, and mechanical limited-slip differential from TRD. The six-speed transmission is also tweaked, with different gearing in first and second and an altered final drive ratio.
To keep things planted the suspension gets a new coilovers, a V-shaped tower brace in the front and another in the rear. Improved deceleration comes thanks to upgraded brakes. There also are even more goodies on the outside, including a complete body kit that includes a carbon-fiber roof and massive rear spoiler. The stock wheels are replaced with 18-inch forged magnesium units, as well.
What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name
Thu, 07 Aug 2014
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
Toyota drops detail about 414-hp Hybrid-R concept powertrain
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R Concept has been teased already, offering up little glimpses and details of the Frankfurt-bound vehicle. And while those few, shadowy shots have been great, we've really wanted to know how this hatchback would deliver its promised 400-plus horsepower. Under hood sits a 1.6-liter, race-derived, direct-injection, turbocharged four-cylinder that powers the front wheels. Sounds peachy, but with 414 horsepower splashed across the page, we're going to need something more than a 1.6-liter, turbo four.
A supercapacitor, developed from the Toyota TS030 Hybrid Le Mans racer sits in place of a hybrid's traditional battery packs. The benefit, according to Toyota, is that power can be more rapidly absorbed and discharged than in a traditional battery system, like nickel metal-hydride.
The gas engine is joined by a trio of 60-horsepower electric motors. Two of the them power the rear wheels, while the third sits between the engine and the six-speed, sequential gearbox. Developing the same amount of power as the rear-axle motors, this centrally located motor channels power to the race-derived supercapacitor during braking, and ships extra grunt to the rear wheels under acceleration when the front wheels start to lose grip. Besides the distributive power of the central motor, the rear electric motors can adjust the amount of torque flowing to each wheel, much like a differential.
