1986 TOYOTA SUPRA
This is a nice mk3 supra up for bid. I have over 15 years of experience with these cars, and if your looking at this your probably familiar with them. I had an opportunity to pick this one up and couldn't refuse due to its all original condition and how clean and complete it is.
The story i was given was that the previous owner had a neighbor that bought this car new, an older couple that garage kept it and when they got to old to drive he the "second owner" got the opportunity to buy it. The original owners are from a nice area in Kendal, Miami The second owner had it for the past 3 years and although his main residence is in California he has a place in Miami and kept it there for a car to use when in town and eventually in hopes for a 2jzgte swap but never got the chance. Not sure how true the story is but the car speaks for itself.
I picked the car up in Miami and drove it back to Melbourne with no problems. Once again I am familiar with these cars and very consciences about them. My plan was to get it to the shop go through it correct any problems and offer it to the next enthusiast. I really enjoy these cars and its rewarding to fix repair or customize them and get to use it until it sells. I don't do this often unless its worth it.
After using the car and finding a few problems and correcting them I am confident the new owner will fall in love just like i did. It needed a TPS sensor which was effecting it automatic shifting pattern. Needed an fuel level sender repair and it started do develop a miss fire which was caused buy a leaking valve cover gaskets that allow oil to fill in the spark plug valley. I installed valve cover gaskets grommets and some fresh Denso platinum spark plugs. I cleaned the engine bay up and boy does she look good.
I have a few more things on my list that i would like to do but may or not get to it prior to sale. Its up for some windshield wiper blades. A light bulb on the third brake light is out, Its missing the plastic engine undertray and the tires although in excellent condition are flat spotted due to it sitting, they are getting better and i re-balanced them but they are still out of round. I want to express that these are the only items that have issues. Nothing that would keep this from being driven as i am driving it every day.
The other issues are cosmetic both plastic bumpers are faded and the rear has some scuff and dent (see picture) Paint still shines but is not perfect has some scratches and a few blisters in the moldings but great for a 20 plus year old car. Also the interior is awesome no rips tear cracks or smells. The only defect is the leather wrapped steering wheel has faded.
OK on to the good things, car is solid right down to the pinch rails, This car has the sport package with TEMS electronic suspension and LSD with a 4.30 gear ratio very desirable. With this package and being a hardtop without ABS make it a very solid rattle free car, and desirable for the ever so popular engine swaps for these cars. This car runs so good that you can actually drive it save for a swap and enjoy the fun. Please feel free to ask any questions about this car and be assured that there wont be any disappointments out side of this description.

First 2014 Toyota Corolla commercial dances through time
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Despite the fact that the Toyota Corolla pretty much sells itself, the eleventh-generation 2014 model is getting a huge marketing push that aims to appeal to both Millennials (of course), as well as the older generations that have lived with the stalwart Japanese compact for decades. The first television advertising spot, called, "Style Never Goes Out of Style," shows that the Corolla has had a place in mainstream culture since its launch in the 1960s. We have to admit, it's pretty cool to see older models from the '60s, '70s and '80s come out to play for this commercial, especially the latter of those, as it gives us enthusiasts fond memories of the infamous AE86.
The whole web/broadcast/print/social media marketing campaign surrounding the 2014 Corolla is called "Elevate," because, according to Toyota:
Extensive market research shows that Millennials are looking to take their career to the next level and are looking to buy their first 'real' car to get them there. The design of the all-new Corolla is significantly elevated from the previous generations, creating a more dynamic and desirable image for the Corolla nameplate that will appeal to these younger buyers.
Unintended acceleration settlement hits Toyota's Q4 bottom line
Fri, 09 May 2014Depending on how you want to look at things, the US Attorney's Office $1.2-billion dollar settlement with Toyota in March over its unintended acceleration recall was either a big blow to the company or completely inconsequential. From January to March, net income fell five percent to 297 billion yen ($2.89 billion), compared to 313.9 billion yen ($3.05 billion) a year ago. However, the automaker still posted record full-year profits worldwide.
Operating profit also fell in the US by 9 percent to $498.1 million for the quarter, but sales were up by 6 percent to 581,261 vehicles. According to Automotive News, global revenue was still up from January to March by about 13 percent and vehicle sales were up 6 percent to 2.58 million units.
However, the payment to the feds did little to hold the company back last year. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, Toyota had net income of 1.82 trillion yen ($17.7 billion), compared to 962.1 billion yen ($9.5 billion) in the last fiscal year. Total vehicle sales were also up.
J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead
Wed, 13 Feb 2013
Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.
