Please read the ENTIRE DESCRIPTION!!! IMPORTANT: First picture was taken before any damage all those taken this past week. If you notice any purple shapes that is the lens on my camera (they are in the same spot in every pic) The Backstory My first car was a 1986.5 NA 5 Speed, I spent quite sometime looking for another supra, back in 2004 I had found this car in outside of Green Bay, WI, 2 plane tickets later I bought it with 1000k and put the first thousands miles driving it to NJ. I've had the car for 10 years and have only put on about 25k on it, I am the third owner (records show I'm the fourth because it was transferred to my mother since I was only 19 at the time). The guy I bought it from had it as a show car removing the air conditioner, cruise control and wipers (the motors work just wipers and wiper arms are needed). The guy also changed the locks so the keys only allow access to driver side door and ignition though the power locks and trunk hatchet allows access to the rest of the car. I've lost it since but I was also given the dyno sheet with 313 HP. The first owner I was told was an old man who like the 2nd owner kept it in the garage. Up until these last few years this car has been garage kept and covered, while only being used during May to September each year hence only the 25k in 10 years, in the time I wasn't during it, it was either started and taken for a quick spin every week or two or I had the fluids drained. Due to life changes I no longer have a garage and/or the time to invest into this car. I've resisted selling this car for the past year because these cars are too far and few in between but with work and school full time I'd prefer it will go to a better home. I have the carfax and their has no accidents. No surprises everything below is everything that I am aware of that needs work, no matter how small. The Bad (along with solution/what I've done to fix it so far - I believe I blew a piston, engines starts but noise leads me to believe it could be a rod, or wrist pin. My mechanic feels the same before this I had found a small boost leak - Front Bumper has been forcefully removed when the car got towed (due to unrelated spite-filled neighbor) While at the impound lot she was hit by a tow truck in the driver side rear fender with some paint exchange. Unfortunately and not surprising they are not responsible for what happens to your car during & once towed. Solution: .bodykitsdotcom or any other, The bumper I got is only 136 though you can replace it with anything you'd like - Rear bumper missing right most plastic clip Solution: Very simple either replacement clip or can be reattached in many other ways, can be pushed in so doesn't hang and I was more focused on large issues so never got around to it - Targa Top, The built-in screw on the front passenger-side of the targa broke and came loose (little cousin) though it still closes it is an imperfect seal, during a high-pressure car wash or torrential down pour you will get a small leak of droplets. Solution: I've kept the car covered, have only hand-washed it since, and as mentioned before it only came out during the summer hence not an issue. I've also purchased an 2nd targa top and was going to replace the interiors when I had engine trouble. Hence replacement is in the back seat. - Passenger side skirt has a crack in the center Solution: needs to be mounted better so does not rise, a quick fix. Minor issues that did not bother me: The shift boot is missing a clip so the bottom hangs about half an inch does not affect anything and hard to even notice. The lights by the rear view don't work I believe its just the bulb but not sure, the vanity mirror light does work though the passenger window can only be controlled by the driver side. The plastic on Drive side interior door handle broke but door opens/closes just fine. The center console & hatchback privacy screen show are sun-worn. Very back of roof hangs by about an inch or so only noticeable when I opened the hatchback. The Good - The engine is a stock turbo 7M-GTE, once fixed it can tuned to your delight - Front mounted intercooler (brand eludes me) - custom intake - 3 inch Blitz Nur-spec exhaust system (Silencer included but not installed...because why?) - Targa Top, great for spring/summer - S-AFC II - The Super AFC II (Air Flow Converter) - Greddy Turbo Timer installed - Greddy Boost Controller installed (2nd setting up to 14 psi) - Pillar pod w/ Greddy Turbo gauge installed (not connected) - The body kits are mostly in good condition - Low mileage, garage kept most of her life. - I've replaced the windshield through safelite and it has a transferable warranty - Just replaced the battery about a week ago. - Upgraded cd player w/Aux, and Rockwell Fosgate speakers installed - I believe I have an extra oil filter, and I have complete sets of the front & rear brakes pads, if for whatever reason it needs to be outside I'll gladly include the cover. I have a box with two 10" speakers, two 12s" would not fit. The box needs to be glued in a corner and the amp is included though not wired. I also have a few supra related things that I'm willing to part with it, also I have the Mother's car wax that I used to hand wash it. In ten years I've gone over 150+mph less than five times and over 100+ less than 12. Shes definitely fast and fun, though once repaired care much be taken to pay attention to your speed you could easily hit 90-100 in third by around 4000 rpm. Fast speed I've taken her was 166 mph on a track. Though it may be hard to see I've taken every step possible to ensure I'd have this car for a long time thus I did not street race and/or stupid crazy stunts with it. All this car needs is someone with a few weeks and a pair of mechanics hands. Please please I sincerely ask that you bid with intention of taking care of this car. I've spent alot time/money/effort for this car and as I've mentioned before their really are to few and far in between of these left. Please feel free to message me with any picture requests/questions. Thank you for time I didn't mean it to be such a long read just when it comes to this car I have alot more to say. I find stock supra with more damage selling for $2000-2500 so my reserve is set to $3400 and please don't suggest any "special" (lower prices) than that, $3400 is less than 1/3 of the minimum of what I spent. Buyer is fully responsible for pick-up and I would like to be gone by May 11th. Car runs and can be driven but should not and buyer should bring a flatbed to prevent further damage. |

Which of these five plug-ins should win the 2017 Green Car of the Year?
Tue, Nov 8 2016It's going to be a competitive race for the 2017 Green Car Of The Year. With a minivan in the running for the first time in ages, the five finalists announced by Green Car Journal today include five very different plug-in vehicles. As Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, said in a statement, "electrification is now considered by most automakers an essential technology for current and future high-efficiency models." Let's check out the list: Toyota Prius Prime, the updated plug-in version of the world's best-selling hybrid. Chevy Bolt, GM's all-new entry into the long-range EV game. Chrysler Pacifica, a family hauler with the ability to go 30 miles on electric power. Kia Optima. The nomination is for the full line-up, but really the hybrid and plug-in hybrid models are the green stars here. BMW 330e iPerformance, one of the automaker's many new plug-in hybrids that bring battery power to models outside the i sub-brand. Green Car Journal will announce the winners at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 17th, along with some, "other green transportation announcements," whatever that means. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt, the first model to snatch up two wins. Which do you think should win this year?

Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Because the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ coupes are now a reality, it's almost hard to imagine the struggle that had to happen within the large, conservative corporate structures at both automakers for the joint project to even get off of the ground.
Speaking to those struggles on Toyota UK's Toyota Blog, GT86 Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada enlightens us with a recap of the sports car's earliest origins. For Tada, the first stages of the project must have seemed almost as dreamlike as the final product is to drive.
Said the Chief, "I had been working in the minivan department engineering new product, but a month after the meeting I was summoned. 'Forget about minivans,' they said, 'you are now working on the sports-car project.'"
Toyota settles complaints with states Attorneys General for $29 million
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Toyota announced today that it has reached a settlement with the Attorneys General of 29 states and one US territory that will resolve their complaints relating to recalls performed by the automaker from 2005-2010, including those related to sticky accelerators and malfunctioning floor mats that may have contributed to cases of unintended acceleration.
The settlement includes a payout of $29 million to be divided among the states and US territory, as well as a commitment from Toyota "to take steps to make vehicle information more easily accessible to consumers to help them operate their vehicles safely and make more informed choices." The settlement also has Toyota continuing its rapid-response service teams and quality field offices that were put in place shortly after the largest of the recalls from 2010, as well as a "range of customer care amenities for owners of vehicles subject to certain recalls," though the press release below isn't specific about what those amenities might be.
This settlement marks the second major step in the last few months that Toyota has taken to settle legal disputes surrounding the unintended acceleration recalls, the first being a $1.4 billion settlement to address economic loss suffered by owners of current and past Toyota vehicles that may have lost value on account of these recalls.
