Up for sale is my 1986 Toyota Corolla AE86 Levin. 


VIN number is AE865073479. This is a standard VIN in Japan, but not in the United States. However, there will be no trouble titling her. 

I had it imported into the States last year when I separated from the Navy, and now it's time for me to move to another country. Time to let my baby go.

The car is almost fully restored. The only part left to complete is the exterior. A new coat of paint is not necessary, but will complete the look, as there are a few minor scrapes and a dings.

Engine is completely revitalized. The engine itself is from an AE-92, and has higher compression. This means it requires super unleaded fuel (91 octane or above). There is an AFC fuel computer included, which is already installed.

Again, the engine is good to go. No leaks whatsoever. She also has a new water pump and new belts.

Other mechanicals: She has new Megan coil-overs. These are not very aggressive, and are in fact comfortable at their softest settings on the street. You can dial the dampening up to be more aggressive if you decide to track or autocross her. The main reason I installed these is because the originals were never replaced and were in bad shape, and I figured it best to just install some coil-overs. 

There is no rust anywhere on this car, except for some surface rust on the windshield wipers. Easily fixed, just sand the rust off and put on some black paint and you're good to go.

The car also has a Nardi steering wheel, which is signed. 

New Apexi exhaust. Low exhaust note, and is quite nice to hear in the high revs.

She has a Japanese cassette radio. Quite honestly, this is useless in the states since the FM station only goes up to about 89.9, but it just adds to the JDM factor if you're into that.

The interior is fully complete. Inside is very clean: You will be very hard pressed to find an interior this clean and complete on an '86 in the states. This includes the privacy cover in the hatch area. There is some minor scraping on the ash tray.

Comes with a spare tire.

Current tires are Potenzas. Lots of life left in them.

Current mileage is about 189,000 kilometers. That translates to about 117,000 miles. Keep in mind that mileage on the engine is lower, but I do not know actual mileage on the engine, only the body. 

She's amazing to drive. Revs freely up to the redline and never quits. After the warm-up cycle, she idles steady at 8-900 RPM. Brakes are solid, but would need upgrading if you want to do anything besides cruise around with her.

Car is fully legal, both federally and by the state. If you have questions, I can direct you to the man who helped me import the Levin. 

This is your chance to own a very rare car in the States. A clean, right hand drive, JDM Levin is hard to find here, and I personally only know of one other person in the Mountain states that owns a similar one. 

DEFECTS:

Here are the following defects:

A few scratches and light dings. There is one noticeable ding on the driver's side front wheel well.  Paint is in good condition, just a couple minor scrapes. Rear spoiler is faded and is attached, but needs new bolts or a new spoiler altogether in order to make it like-new. When you open the trunk, you do not want to grab it by the spoiler; if you do, you may accidentally pull it off, though reattaching it is simple enough.

The hatch needs new air dampeners. The current ones are old and I never got around to replacing them; however, the dampeners are cheap and will be easy to install. Just keep in mind that you will need to hold the hatch open by hand until you do so.

Interior is nearly flawless. There is a bit of a water stain on the sunroof ceiling cloth cover. Sunroof does not leak anymore since it has a new seal.

No power-steering or AC. Lack of power-steering is negligible for this car, you can turn it easily when rolling and it is not hard at all to turn it from a stand-still. In my mind, these are not defects, but if you do live in a hot state you may want to install AC or keep the windows rolled down.

Wheels are old and has some scrapes, but should be able to be repaired. 

Starting bid at $11,500. Buy it now for 15!

As for shipping, I can help you arrange that. Keep in mind that shipping costs vary. To give you an example, through a quick google search I found that shipping from Colorado to Florida would cost about a thousand dollars fully insured.

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.

2014 Toyota Aygo marks the spot [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

Following the leaked pictures we showed you yesterday, we have the full battery of images and info of the all-new Toyota Aygo, in addition to our gallery of live photos from the floor of the Geneva Motor Show.
Like its cousins from Peugeot and Citroën, the Aygo foregoes a diesel engine in favor of a highly efficient gas powerplant. The 1.0-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder turns out 68 horsepower and 70 pound-feet of torque. When it hits the market, it'll be with either a five-speed manual transmission or a five-speed, X-Shift automated manual. The former will help the Aygo return 57.3 miles per gallon and hit 62 miles per hour in 14.2 seconds. Opting for the X-Shift variant will net drivers 56 mpg, with 62 arriving in a leisurely 15.5 seconds.
We'll admit, aside from the fuel efficiency, there's nothing terribly great about those numbers. Still, with its compact dimensions - it's only 136 inches long - and a curb weight of no more than 2,000 pounds, it should prove tossable in the bends.

Toyota Auris Touring Sports is a handsome Prius V alternative [w/videos]

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

The Toyota Prius V has a lot to recommend it, but adventurous and sporty styling is not in its repertoire. That's why this new Auris Touring Sports has our attention. Claimed to be the "first full hybrid estate car" in the compact class, this two-box Auris has genuine visual panache to go with its load-lugging capability and parsimonious fuel economy. In the metal, we think its v-shaped grille and headlamp treatment acquits itself better than it does on the new RAV4, a model that shares its new design language.
Built by Toyota UK, the Auris Touring Sports hybrid is powered by a familiar-sounding 1.8-liter gas engine paired with an electric motor, with total system output quoted at 134 horsepower. The model will also be available in a variety of gas or diesel trims if you prefer your vehicle sans electrification (a non-hybrid model is shown). It goes on sale later this year in Europe, but don't hold your breath to see one in North America. Still interested? Scroll below to see a couple of videos and to read the official press release.
