Due to a change in circumstances I have to sell my ST165 project cars. 2 almost complete cars, one ready to rebuild, the other a donor 

Keen to sell or swap for a running Celica ST185 GT-Four (any condition considered) 

Details are: 
- 1x 1988 Toyota Celica ST165 GT-Four facelift (black/grey/blue) 
- 1x 1987 Toyota Celica ST165 GT-Four pre-facelift (white) 

The facelift car has had THOUSANDS spent on getting the body perfect and rust-free (except for a tiny bit still around the windscreen, which is yet to be removed). All other panel work is done and ready for paint. 

The white car is an early and rare pre-facelift with live plates. The other is dereg. 

Heaps of parts...one good 3S-GTE engine still in the white one. Other features include: 
- Momo Race steering wheel & boss kit 
- 15" OZ Racing lightweight wheels with almost new tyres 
- Cusco rear strut brace (brand new) 
- Full new decal kit (grey) 
- TRD gear knob 
- JDM sideskirts (rare) 
- Lots and lots of parts (pretty much 2 of everything) 

Perfect if you have some knowledge of these to complete...would result in a VERY nice example of this classic rally car. 

Most pics are of the actual cars in their current condition. The final two pics are how both cars looked before being restored. Not looking to part these out at this point, so if you want parts, the offer would have to be VERY good.

Toyota GT86 turbo, convertible, sedan variants back on the table

Fri, 02 May 2014

Okay Toyota, make up your mind. Figure it out. Quit playing games with our heart. Either build a bunch of variations of the excellent GT86 (also known as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ) or don't. At this point, we're just tired of the back and forth. After no shortage of denials, an Australian website is claiming that Toyota is reconsidering convertible, four-door, turbocharged and all-wheel-drive hybrid variants of the GT86. Kindly pass all the salt.
It's not that we don't want to believe the Aussies; we do. But when the story lists the same "sources in Japan" as a lot of the other denials and confirmations about GT86/BRZ/FR-S variants, well, there's a certain sense of the "Boy That Cried Wolf," here. Ignoring all that, then, what does Motoring.com.au claim to know?
Sources claim the GT86 Convertible will arrive in October 2014, while the turbocharged and hybrid sedans are slated for 2016.

Toyota recalling 20k 2014 and 2015 cars and CUVs with 3.5L engines

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

Toyota has announced a recall of roughly 20,000 vehicles covering the 2014 Avalon, Camry, Highlander (pictured) and Sienna, as well as the 2015 Lexus RX luxury crossover. The affected vehicles are all powered the 2GR-FE engine, which in layman's terms, is Toyota's well-regarded 3.5-liter V6.
According to Toyota's statement, a parts supplier might not have welded "the end cap on the right-hand fuel delivery pipe in the engine compartment" correctly, meaning fuel could leak. Leaking fuel, of course, increases the chance of an engine fire. That said, no fires, crashes or injuries have been reported due to the issue.
Owners will be notified to report to dealers, where techs will check the fuel delivery pipe and fit a replacement part as necessary.

BMW Z5 roadster gets frosty in winter testing

Fri, Apr 1 2016

The successor to the BMW Z4 (remember that thing?) is currently undergoing testing in what may be the least hospitable place for a two-seat roadster – northern Sweden. Yep, even sunshine-loving convertibles need to undergo winter testing. We still aren't 100-percent certain of the name, but rumors are pointing to BMW ditching the Z4 nomenclature in favor of Z5. As we've reported before, it's very likely that this car is being developed with help from Toyota. The platform underpinning the car shown here could become the long-awaited new Supra (albeit in hardtop-only form). We'd love to tell you about the look of this new car, but between the camouflage and the caked-on snow, it's hard to draw a bead. We can clearly see the headlights are inspired by newer BMWs like the 7 Series and 2 Series, but other details are harder to discern. The right elements are here, though. The prototype has a long hood and short rear deck. It's also worth pointing out that the car shown here marks a return to a canvas convertible roof. Aside from being less complex, our spies report that the soft top is being used to lower weight and provide sharper handling. While our report on the Z4's successor from March 2015 pointed to a 2020 launch date for the new roadster, our spies say the German part of this BMW/Toyota partnership could launch in late 2017 or early 2018 with four- and six-cylinder engine options.
