Sadly the time has come to sell my beautiful 91 MR2 Turbo. She only has 89k original miles and was purchased in California. She has always been garaged and has been very well cared for. I'm hoping she will go to a good home and to someone who truly loves these rare cars.

I bought her last winter as a summer project but my priorities have changed and I am being forced to make a decision between selling my Z06 or MR2. The things you do for your future wife. haha. 

As you can see from the pics she has crimson red paint and black interior. She also has t-tops that do not leak. I have multiple cars so my toys are never ever driven in the rain. The exterior is in fantastic condition with a few small scratches here and there (I can walk you through any imperfections over the phone). The only negative is a paintchip/crack on the rear engine bonnet. This part can be repaired or replaced with minimal cost as it is just the bonnet. The interior is in great shape as well. A few imperfections here and there but nothing out of the ordinary for a 91. I also have almost new original floor mats which will be included in the sale. I recently replaced the alternator and belt with new Denso parts less than 10 miles ago. She recently also had an oil change as well. Battery has been tested and is in perfect working order. She also has electric power steering. 

Modifications include: Carbon Fiber front hood w/hood pins. 18" black wheels w/polished lip. HKS Boost gauge installed in stock boost location in the cluster. Racing seats offer great support over stock. Pioneer CD/MP3 player. HKS VPC. HKS Turbo Timer. HKS bov. UICP. Upgraded Turbo (Ill check the brand). K&N filter. Exhaust and Downpipe. Plugs/wires. AN braided SS fuel line. 550cc injectors. Supra fuel pump. I will add to the list if I forgot anything. 

I would recommend the owner replace the tires. I would rather the new owner have their choice of tires as oppose to me picking a new set. There are a few things I am working on before the sale. She currently has a low idle which is adjustable using the HKS VPC. She also has a vacuum leak causing boost to build slow. I am hoping to correct these issues before the sale if possible. However if the new owner wants her as is I will gladly negotiate the price accordingly. She also could use a shift boot (I can procure a stock one if the new owner likes). Only other thing is that the AC belt has been removed. This has never been an issue for me but I must be upfront in my ad. 

Other than above she is a fantastic car that needs very little to be perfect. She will also be well cleaned and detailed before sale as expected. 

Clean and clear Michigan title and will be sold with 2 keys and any extra parts I have.

I am willing to negotiate with serious buyers. Please do not waste my time and I promise not to waste yours. I am open to reasonable offers. 

If you have any questions please contact me on my cell. Please feel free to call anytime.

Thanks for your interest.

Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.

8 automakers, 15 utilities collaborate on open smart-charging for EVs

Thu, Jul 31 2014

We're going to lead with General Motors here. GM is one of eight automakers working with 15 utilities and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) at developing a "smart" plug-in vehicle charging system. Why did we start with GM? Because it's the first automaker whose press release we read that mentioned the other seven automakers. Points for sharing. For the record, the collaboration also includes BMW, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Chrysler, Mitsubishi and Ford. The utilities include DTE Energy, Duke Energy, Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric. The idea is to develop a so-called "demand charging" system in which an integrated system lets the plug-ins and utilities communicate with each other so that vehicle charging is cut back at peak hours, when energy is most expensive, and ramped up when the rates drop. Such entities say there's a sense of urgency to develop such a system because the number of plug-in vehicles on US roads totals more than 225,000 today and is climbing steadily. There's a lot of technology involved, obviously, but the goal is to have an open platform that's compatible with virtually any automaker's plug-in vehicle. No timeframe was disclosed for when such a system could go live but you can find a press release from EPRI below. EPRI, Utilities, Auto Manufacturers to Create an Open Grid Integration Platform for Plug-in Electric Vehicles PALO ALTO, Calif. (July 29, 2014) – The Electric Power Research Institute, 8 automakers and 15 utilities are working to develop and demonstrate an open platform that would integrate plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) with smart grid technologies enabling utilities to support PEV charging regardless of location. The platform will allow manufacturers to offer a customer-friendly interface through which PEV drivers can more easily participate in utility PEV programs, such as rates for off-peak or nighttime charging. The portal for the system would be a utility's communications system and an electric vehicle's telematics system. As the electric grid evolves with smarter functionality, electric vehicles can serve as a distributed energy resource to support grid reliability, stability and efficiency. With more than 225,000 plug-in vehicles on U.S. roads -- and their numbers growing -- they are likely to play a significant role in electricity demand side management.

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
