I have a 1987 MR2 for Sale, This is for a Non Running Project Car. I bought the car with intention to fix it up, but after getting a second job, It has been neglected, and I don't want the car anymore. The car is swapped with a 92 2nd Gen 3S-GTE out of an SW20 MR2 Turbo.

Pros-
Decent paint, some Minor scratches and chipping but no clear damage.
Interior is complete and in good condition. It's Ice Blue, with one minor dash crack. Included in the sale will be all of the black interior panels I've sourced for an interior swap. Easily worth another couple hundred bucks.
The Transmission and motor were freshly rebuilt. They both had around 500 miles, no documentation, when I bought the car.
The Clutch is a Stage 2 Yellowplate Drag Clutch, Short throw shifter installed as well. Transmission shifts beautifully.
Rust Free Body.
Rear Plastic C Pillar Trim is still there. If you know MR2s, you will know that's the first thing to go.
Block was Rebuilt with Wiseco Pistons, Aluminum rods, Port and polished head. Again going off the PO, there is no Documentation.

Cons
Blown Headgasket, I think. It doesn't run, and 3S's are known to go through headgaskets. I unfortunately never got to take a good enough look at it to determine what caused it.
The Bay is fairly dirty.
One of the rear tires has trouble holding pressure.
The Car is currently sitting on 17 inch rims, they rub. I'd recommend 15s.
IT DOES NOT RUN. Don't buy if you think you can drive it home. It is a project car in every sense of the word

However if you know anything about Mk 1.5 swaps you know this is the easiest way to get performance out of an AW11. 3S motors can be built to insane power, and the bottom end on this is rebuilt, going off what the PO had told me.

The vehicle is listed for sale locally. I reserve the right to cancel this listing at any time before the end if it sells locally.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.

Toyota vows to fix poor Camry crash test result that irked Consumer Reports

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Many Toyota vehicles haven't been performing well in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) small overlap frontal crash test, and the Camry is one of them. The 2012 and 2013 Camry both received "Poor" ratings, IIHS' lowest rating, in the test, which spurred Consumer Reports to take the car off its "Recommended" list. In response to the low ratings in the small overlap frontal test, and in a bid to maintain its best-seller status, Toyota will make changes to the Camry to improve its IIHS safety rating and to enhance its design, The Detroit News reports.
The Camry performed well in the moderate overlap frontal, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats crash tests, receiving "Good" ratings, IIHS' highest rating, in all four tests. That was enough for IIHS to award it a Top Safety Pick rating, just not TSP+.
Bill Fay, head of Toyota's US division, reportedly says, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that."

Toyota SEMA cars include Tundra for Baja and wacky DUB Edition Yaris

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Toyota has released the first images of its brigade of concepts for the 2014 SEMA Show, introducing a trio of TRD-fettled off-roaders, a pair of DUB-inspired models, a race-ready pickup and a Sienna minivan with 48 inches worth of subwoofers.
Four of the vehicles being shown by Toyota will take part in the grueling Baja 1000 off-road race. The star of that effort will be a race-prepared Tundra, which will actually be competing from November 12 to 16 in the 47th running of the desert race. It'll be supported by a trio of vehicles, which mimics Toyota's TRD Pro Series production vehicles, with the 4Runner, Tacoma and Tundra all acting as support vehicles.
Each of these vehicles has been fabricated by the off-road specialists at N-Fab and comes loaded down with communications and guidance equipment, additional lights and off-road body modifications.
