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. |

Toyota Pro/Celebrity race switching from Scion tC to FR-S [w/video]
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Toyota has announced that the rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S will replace the front-wheel-drive Scion tC as the racecar used by actors, singers and celebrities of all grades in its annual Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race. It's the first time a rear-drive vehicle has been used for the event in 27 years, with the tC having been in use since 2005, and the FWD Celica before that. This year's race takes place on April 20th amidst the festivities of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach weekend.
The racing FR-S, which debuted today at the Chicago Auto Show, won't be left stock either, but rather outfitted with a range of official Toyota Racing Development parts and equipment, such as a stainless steel exhaust, new coil overs and springs, upgraded brakes, a bigger air intake and 18-inch wheels, not to mention all of the safety equipment required to keep the celebrities and pro drivers safe. The company says the performance mods have lifted horsepower to 210 from the standard car's 200. Check out the build process for the cars in the video below to see just how much work's been done.
The Toyota Pro/Celebrity race is also about more than just letting celebrities and pros do battle on a road course. The spectacle helps raise money for "Racing for Kids," a non-profit charity that supports children's hospitals in the US.
Toyota gives a free RAV4 to 50-millionth customer [w/video]
Thu, 29 Aug 2013Not surprisingly, the 50-millionth Toyota product sold in the US was a Camry, but Toyota had a big surprise in store for Michael Dee, the buyer of said milestone vehicle. Toyota group vice president Bill Fay showed up at Dee's house to not only personally thank him for the purchase, but also completely paid off that brand new Camry, presenting the owner with a clear title.
But that wasn't all. As you can tell from the image above, Fay had one more trick up his sleeve. The group VP brought along a brand new 2013 Toyota RAV4, which was also presented to Dee in appreciation. The best part is that Dee's genuine amazement was all caught on video, which is posted below.
Here's the 2017 Toyota 86: Don't call it a Scion
Fri, Feb 5 2016After we heard the bells toll for Scion yesterday, we told you that the Scion FR-S will transform into a Toyota. That's right: just a rebadging. The practical question is, which badge? The philosophical question, which we can't answer yet, is where it'll sit in the pantheon of front-engined, rear-drive Toyota sports cars, of which the Supra was the last one to visit our shores, from 1992 until 1998 in its fourth generation. And as if summoned by this conversation, this camouflaged prototype appeared. Our best guess is that this is going to be the US-bound, Toyota-badged version of the Subaru BRZ and all the other 86-badged variants: the Toyota 86 (in Asia, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and South Africa), Toyota GT86 (in Europe and New Zealand again), and Toyota FT86 (in Nicaragua and Jamaica). For simplicity's sake, let's call it a Toyota 86. Peer into the 86's swirly camo, and it looks like the car is going in for a light refresh. The lower intake in the front fascia, if it's representative of a production part, adopts a different shape and is considerably wider and narrower than either the BRZ or FR-S units. It also appears that the turn signal and its surround are reshaped, different than any of the current variants. Changes out back appear mild. The area around the license plate seems to be smoother, and there is likely a predictable light restyle of the bumper skin and defuser under the camo. We don't expect a significant power increase, and certainly not a turbocharger (sorry!), but crossing fingers wouldn't do any harm. Related Video:
