1991 Toyota Mr2 Turbo on 2040-cars
Springfield, Massachusetts, United States
1991 MR2 Turbo
Title in Hand 5 Speed, adult owned. Never driven in rain or snow. 99% rust free chasis Leather interior 91,xxx on odometer. Power everything More in depth: Engine: JDM Gen 2 3SGTE Starts/runs great. Maintenance kept up with No known issues Only modifications done to it: Greddy BOV, side mount intercooler, walboro 255lph fuel pump, egr block off plate and a megan exhaust. Due to the EGR blockoff plate being installed, the check engine light is on. Comes on during driving and not at idle. I belive to pass inspection all this car needs to be able to pass is safety due to it's age. The engine runs just fine and there is no concern to be had. Drivetrain: 5 speed. Haven't checked if it's the one with LSD or not. Shift smooth, though clutch master feels weaker than it should. New rear wheel bearings. Suspension: Suspension could use an alignment, as the front inner and outer tie rods are fairly new. As it is, it's not too far off. Wheels/tires: Rims are on spacers, and from an RSX. Tires in the front are pretty decent shape, Dunlop SP wintersport m3s. The rear tires are brand new Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSI Body: The body metal wise is in fantastic shape, no rust except on the bottom of the drivers side door. However, the clearcoat is peeling, and the red is faded in a few spots, thanks to the Florida sun. There are areas where the paint is even chipping. This is the only thing that takes away from the car besides the aftermarket front bumper. It still needs aligning, and the corner light is missing. Have a replacement home made one ready to mount. Headlights are HID, and fog lights work perfect. The windshield has a hairline crack in the middle (check pictures) Interior: Interior is in pretty decent shape. The drivers side leather seat is FUBAR, and has a cover on it. The passenger side seat is pretty rough. I have the cover for it, just never put it on. Other than that dash and interior panels are in good shape, minor imperfections. The interior is complemented with a Greddy Barometric Boost Gauge, Grant GT wheel, JDM gauge cluster, HKS Turbo Timer, and an Eclipse CD-3422 head unit. Switch to the electric fans as well. Ttops do leak a little, and come with interior covers. This is an awesome car, that's plenty of fun to drive. However with a family and 2 other cars I'm trying to finish, this is the least practical one to own for myself. I'd like to see it go to a good home, as I've barely driven it since ownership, and have done my best to maintain it. A VIN check on the car shows an odometer discrepancy. I have no idea as to why, as the odometer matches the title, and was not told about this upon registering (usually the registrar will bring this up). The only thing that comes to mind is because of he engine/cluster swap. Also it should be noted with the vin check there is an accident report on it. The front was scraped pretty bad but no frame damage was sustained. The car will come with books to the alarm which needs to be programed, original Toyota books, leather cased thing for the factory jack, and several new parts that were not needed. |

GT Academy returns, and why Gran Turismo 6 demands a pedal/wheel setup
Fri, 18 Apr 2014The path to become a racing driver is a difficult one. It requires starting early, with karts, and then building up through the years and if you're really, really good (and really, really lucky), a team will notice you and sign you up. Or, you know, you could just become really good at Gran Turismo, and beat out other like-minded fanatics for a seat in the GT Academy.
The racing school, which culls its students from the ranks of Gran Turismo players has already pumped out successful racers, most notably, Lucas Ordoñez, who has a second and third-place finish under his belt at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With the 2014 GT Academy kicking off April 21 and running through June 16, you could have a chance to be the next Ordoñez.
That won't be easy, though. We recently had a playthrough on GT6 the proper way - with a racing seat, pedals and a steering wheel, complete with column-mounted paddles. (Our setup looked just like the one you see above, though that image is from E3.) In other words, it was as close to driving an actual car as most console games can get.
What would you drive in 1985?
Wed, May 6 2020Bereft of live baseball games to watch, I've turned to the good ship YouTube to watch classic games. While watching the 1985 American League Championship Series last night, several of the broadcast's commercials made its way into the original VHS recording, including those for cars. "Only 8.8% financing on a 1985 Ford Tempo!" What a deal! That got me thinking: what would I drive in 1985? It sure wouldn't be a Tempo. Or an IROC-Z, for that matter, despite what my Photoshopped 1980s self would indicate in the picture above. I posed this question to my fellow Autobloggists. Only one could actually drive back then, I was only 2 and a few editors weren't even close to being born. Here are our choices, which were simply made with the edict of "Come on, man, be realistic." West Coast Editor James Riswick: OK, I started this, I'll go first. I like coupes today, so I'm pretty sure I'd drive one back then. I definitely don't see myself driving some badge-engineered GM thing from 1985, and although a Honda Prelude has a certain appeal, I must admit that something European would likely be in order. A BMW maybe? No, I'm too much a contrarian for that. The answer is therefore a 1985 Saab 900 Turbo 3-Door, which is not only a coupe but a hatchback, too. If I could scrounge up enough Reagan-era bucks for the ultra-cool SPG model, that would be rad. The 900 Turbo pictured, which was for auction on Bring a Trailer a few years ago, came with plum-colored Bokhara Red, and you're damn sure I would've had me one of those. Nevermind 1985, I'd probably drive this thing today. Associate Editor Byron Hurd: I'm going to go with the 1985.5 Ford Mustang SVO, AKA the turbocharged Fox Body that everybody remembers but nobody drives. The mid-year update to the SVO bumped the power up from 175 ponies (yeah, yeah) to 205, making it almost as powerful (on paper, anyway) as the V8-powered GT models offered in the same time frame. I chose this particular car because it's a bit of a time capsule and, simultaneously, a reminder that all things are cyclical. Here we are, 35 years later, and 2.3-liter turbocharged Mustangs are a thing again. Who would have guessed?
Toyota FT-86 Open Concept leaves us feeling flushed
Wed, 20 Nov 2013When last we checked in on our topless would-be hero, the Toyota FT-86 convertible had been reportedly placed on "indefinite hold." That was back in early October, not long after Toyota had trotted out the rear-wheel-drive canvasback to Scion dealers as a possible future product carrot if they decided not to turn in their franchises. And yet, we're here at the Tokyo Motor Show, where Toyota has taken the time to at least repaint the FT-86 Open Concept in "Flash Red," if not build a whole other car (the original Geneva showcar was white). It's enough to make our heads spin like a teenager on the verge of a breakup. Will they? Won't they?
At this point, we still don't know any more than you do - the last word we heard out of Toyota was not encouraging, although the story was that the program could still be fast-tracked if management had a change of heart. As the car has never been seen before in Japan, perhaps Toyota is merely extending its domestic audience a courtesy view before it lines this showcar in mothballs, or maybe they're still trying to make a decision on its fate and gauging public reaction on the homefront.
Interestingly, in a new story published today, Automotive News quotes Subaru brand boss Yasuyuki Yoshinaga downplaying the likelihood of a production model, saying flatly "We make the car, so if we don't make it, it can't happen." The executive went on to note, "Our engineering department told me that losing the entire roof requires a complete redesign of the structure. It would need a big change." Given that such a car would probably trade in rather small volumes, that sounds like a significant hurtle.
