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.

2015 Toyota Sienna

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

It's hard to love a minivan, but it's very, very easy to use one. More than any other kind of vehicle - save a panel van, perhaps - the minivan is the most appliance-like of four-wheeled transportation devices. And most minivan buyers don't need to love their purchases; they just need to use them. So when it comes to a minivan's driving dynamics, who cares?
Well, we do. So we perked right up when Toyota talked about refinements it made to the 2015 Sienna, starting with some 142 added spot welds made to the body structure. Normally not stop-the-presses stuff, but Toyota says the added reinforcements prompted Sienna engineers to recalibrate the springs and shocks for improved handling, and our very limited wheel time along the (admittedly benign) roads on the Big Island of Hawaii revealed the 2015 Sienna SE model's handling to be tidier and more engaging than you'd expect for a porky, 4,560-pound, eight-passenger box on wheels.
Driving Notes

A few pre-race notes and a lot of photos from the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

The 82nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is on.
Audi has won 12 of the last 15 events, the scion of Auto Union is trying to make it 13 this year. To do so, it will have to overcome a situation faced only three other times during its dominance of La Sarthe: underdog status. Toyota has won the first two races of the year and claimed pole for this race, the rumor being that this year it's Toyota's race to lose.
And then there's Porsche. It's been 16 years since the Stuttgart brand raced on the top rung at Le Mans, three years years since it announced its return, just a year since it acquired Mark Webber in a signing that wasn't subtle and a few months since we got eyes on the 919 Hybrid.

New version of Toyota FT-1 Concept gets racy for Gran Turismo 6

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

Gran Turismo 6 has been the preferred marketing springboard for quite a few brands and concept cars since its debut last winter. Specifically the GT Vision concept idea - allowing manufacturers a built-in place to offer up new, original, drivable content - has enticed the likes of Mercedes, Nissan, Volkswagen, Toyota and more to dream big on the digital stage before pulling the sheets back on real concept cars.
In fact, Toyota teamed its live reveal of the FT-1 Concept at the Detroit Auto Show with an in-game launch of the car, just this past January. Looking for a second bite at the GT6 apple, Toyota has just released a teaser video for a new, FT-1 Vision GT version of the same concept.
The company isn't giving us much to go on save for the 30-second video, saying only that the concept was penned by Toyota's Calty Design Research team in California, and that it will "soon be available for download." By the looks of it, the new FT-1 seems to be more of a racecar than the original, without obvious changes to the basic form. No word on whether or not there's a physical concept car in the offing at a yet-to-be-named auto show. Stay tuned.
