Hello All, I bought this car almost 2 years ago. If you are serious about this type of car search 1ZZFE oil burning. Anyway, I bought this aware of the issue due to its terrific body and condition. I had the motor completely rebuilt. This included new bore, pistons, rings, oil pump, timing components, crank polish, all bearings and wear items, A valve job was done also. This was at approx. 71000. After completion, it runs perfect. I drove it that way for 1000 miles or so, and noticed it revved excessively on the highway, so I looked for solutions.

I bought a brand new Toyota 6 speed trans that is an exact replacement. You can research this on Monkey Wrench Racing. This includes a Limited Slip Differential. It made all the difference. It is much more relaxed on the highway now and is now 6 speed with all genuine Toyota parts. I changed the clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, slave cylinder and surfaced the flywheel at that same time ( approx. 72000 miles) using OEM parts.

Within the last 1000 miles, I replaced all brakes and struts. The tires are getting near time for replacement. They have ample tread, but are getting old. I don't remember exactly how old the tires are, but I think they are over 5 years old. I did not list each and every maintenance item I changed while working on it, but rest assured, if it was a wear item, I changed it. This car is extremely reliable and so much fun to drive. It is very light, so it handles great!!

I really enjoy this car, but it is one of many vehicles I own, and storage and insurance are becoming a burden. Every item works as it should, and it recently passed NJs stringent inspection testing.

I recently purchased a hardtop for this, but did not yet buy the mounting kit. It is on there with 2 of the 6 hard mounting points. It will not harm it being on there as long as it isn't driven without the mounting kit. The top has a value of approx 2000, so the buyer can recoup some of the price if it is sold. The top was shipped to me from a friend in England. This is a Toyota factory top ( ROW got hardtop option) and is in excellent shape. I have also bought a new Clarion stereo with Sirius and Bluetooth for this car, but never installed it. It is new in box. I bought it so I can talk on the phone when I drive. I will include these with the purchase.

If you have any questions email me or call at 800-421-9494 X7128 M-F 11-8 Eastern

Audi outlasts rivals to win 13th Le Mans title

Sun, 15 Jun 2014

As is so often the case, the 2014 Le Mans was a war of attrition, and Audi managed to prevail once again after all 24 hours had been recorded in the history books, with its Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro claiming first and second places, followed by Toyota in third. Drivers Marcel Fassler, Andre Lotterer and Benoit Treluyer inherited the lead in their No. 2 Audi after the No. 7 Toyota, driven by pole-sitter Kazuki Nakajima, was forced to retire with electrical problems in the 15th hour.
The No. 2 Audi led the race until it was forced to the pits to replace a turbocharger in the 17th hour, allowing the No. 1 Audi, driven by Lucas di Grassi, Marc Gene (who was a last-minute replacement for Loic Duval, who crashed hard during practice) and defending champion Tom Kristensen, led the race until the 21st hour, when it too had to pit with turbocharger issues. This gave the No. 20 Porsche of Timo Bernhard, Brendon Hartley, and Mark Webber the lead until it was forced off the track with gearbox problems, eventually finishing in 38th position.
In LMP2, the Jota Sport Zytek Z11SN-Nissan driven by Simon Dolan, Harry Tincknell and Oliver Turvey claimed victory, the first five LMP2 finishers all powered by Nissan. Down a level in GTE-Pro, No. 51 AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 driven by Gianmaria Bruni, Toni Vilander and Giancarlo Fisichella finished one lap ahead of the leading Corvette Racing C7.R. And finally, the No. 95 Aston Martin Racing Vantage GTE driven by Kristian Poulsen, David HeinemeierHansson and Nicki Thiim won the GTE-Am race two laps ahead of a Proton Porsche 911 GT3 RSR.

Audi investing $30.3 billion through 2018 for product expansion

Sun, 29 Dec 2013

How does Audi plan to reach two million units in annual sales and pay for the 11 new models it's adding to its lineup - an expansion that may include models named SQ2, Q9 and F-Tron? By increasing its investment to 22 billion euros ($30.3 billion US) between now and 2018. That figure represents an increase of about 500 million euros over the previously planned outlay, according to a report by Automotive News, and that could be due to Audi wishing to goad the momentum that pushed it to 1.5 million annual sales two years ahead of schedule.
It's also about staving off the challenges from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now that BMW has been able to turn some of its attention away from its "i" series of Megacity cars, it will reportedly spend more than planned in 2014 as it continues the rollout of ten all-new vehicles and 15 new-generation vehicles through the end of next year. Mercedes, having been dropped to third in the sales race, is preparing to add 13 new cars over the next six years.
Audi's money is going into technology, into product like the next-generation TT and the Q1 and production expansions and upgrades all over the world. The expenditure represents just under a fourth of Volkswagen's 84.2 billion-euro ($115.7 US) outlay devoted to taking the number-one global automaker title away from General Motors and Toyota by 2018.

Meet the Most Elegant Automobile, and it's for sale

Sat, 08 Jun 2013

Alright, so maybe "most elegant" is a bit of a stretch, but we feel safe in calling the 1992 Toyota Paseo in the video below an "automobile." High praise, we know. Still, it's clear someone loves the awkward little coupe enough to produce a hilarious video to sell the thing. Henry Floyd worked up a quick parody of the over-the-top luxury car ads we all know and loathe, and while the finished product is a little skimpy on details like price or location, it certainly doesn't hold back on the exposition.
Hell, if we didn't already have a parade of horrible ideas floating around our collective driveways, we might even be convinced to give this little heap a new home. You can check out the ad for yourself below, just don't be surprised if you find yourself with a burning desire to own a Paseo.
