For sale is a 1990 Toyota Supra, factory turbo model, targa, OEM silver paint (paint code 176), clean TN title in hand, no liens, no known history of accidents, 197,000 miles on chassis, roughly 70,000 miles on motor and trans.  The car received a 1JZ-GTE swap (Non VVTI) in late 2007 by a performance shop in California. The car was also re-sprayed in the OEM color around the same time. The car has had the same owner for the past 6+ years (was purchased while the car was being swapped with 1JZ), and has been driven almost 20,000 miles since receiving the 1JZ swap. The car has only been used in the past six years as a warm weather car, and has been kept at home during the Winter months (usually from late November to early March. The car is only being sold due to a lack of interest and space.

The head-gasket was replaced with a new factory head-gasket, ARP head studs, and the head was machined slightly as part of preventive maintenance by a performance shop Texas in June of 2008. The original OEM head gasket was in perfect shape, and the car has no overheated since having the 1JZ swap. The car received a single turbo in 2009 as result from the rear turbo having a blown seals (a common problem for CT12s). In 2011 the car received a T4 turbo setup, and the Drift Motion 57trim was added in 2012 to give the car a balanced power-band.  Some of the invoices for parts and labor will be included, this includes the head-work from Del's Performance in 2008.

The car currently runs extremely well, with no mechanical problems except for needing a alignment, which the car will receive before being sold. The engine is healthy, no leaks, no smoke, has a broad power-band, and performs well under boost. The car typically has positive pressure around 2500 RPM, and reaches full around 4000 RPM.  The exhaust is custom 3 inch, and is relatively quiet; it can barely be heard outside of the cabin while driving.  In June of 2012 the made 354 whp, 330 torque at 16 pounds on a Dyno Dynamics, which typically reads 15% lower than a Dyno Jet. The only major change since being on the dyno is replacing the Tial with a generic 46mm waste-gate.  The transmission has no grinds, shifts well in every gear, and is showing no signs of fatigue. The clutch works well, and holds the power with no problems. Overall, the car still has plenty of untapped potential it could reach by adding only a few modifications such as; 550cc injectors, USDM 2JZ cams or Brain Crower cams, and possibly a stand alone EMS.

Aesthetically, the car could use a good quality respray. The resprayed paint overall looks ok at best. The exterior and interior look good for the age of the car, but the car has several smaller dents, the dash has a crack, the carpet has significant wear, and the steering wheel has aged. The currently has a black dash pad, and a better looking steering wheel will be included. There is no rust (SoCal car) and no body damage.

The cost of parts to convert a MA70 to a 1JZ using a single turbo will typically cost an average of $7,000 or more in parts. This is not even factoring the cost of a shell or the necessary supporting modifications.  It is also rare for a 1JZ swapped MA70 to be sold on eBay.  Feel free to ask questions related to the car's condition. Thanks for looking.

Toyota's 'green bond' an industry first, quickly rises to $1.75 billion

Tue, Mar 25 2014

Toyota is greasing the skids for more green car purchases with the announcement of a $1.75-billion bond designed to finance the purchase of high-efficiency Toyota and Lexus models. The Asset-Backed Green Bond is a first for the automotive industry and is making a lot of money available to buy or lease the following vehicles: any of the four Prius variants, Camry Hybrid, Avalon Hybrid, RAV4 EV, Lexus CT 200h and Lexus ES 300h. Originally, the bond was set at $1.25 billion, but Justin Leach, manager of public relations for Toyota Financial Services (TFS), told AutoblogGreen that demand was high and it was quickly oversubscribed. TFS has been looking at more ways to diversify its portfolio after a Diversity & Inclusion Bond that was announced in early 2013 and, with the new Green Bond, TFS is offering something for the "number of investors out there who are looking for investment opportunities in green." The way the money from the bond is used, basically, is that TFS takes the $1.75 billion and uses it to finance the purchase or lease of the nine vehicles listed above. As of right now, all the eligible vehicles are plug-in or hybrids, but the rules simply say that the cars in the program have to meet certain "powertrain, fuel efficiency and emissions" criteria. That means: Minimum EPA estimated MPG (or MPG equivalent for alternative fuel vehicles) of 35 city / 35 highway California Low-Emission Vehicle II (LEV II) certification of super ultra-low emission vehicles (SULEVs) or higher, which would include partial zero emissions vehicles (PZEVs) and zero emissions vehicles (ZEVs). TFS raises plenty of billions in other ways for the rest of the lineup, and got into asset backed securities in 2010, Leach said. Given the success of this first Green Bond, Leach said he expects TFS to keep this idea in its arsenal. "This one was so well received, I would be surprised if we didn't see it again," he said. "If anyone was going to do it, it should be Toyota, right?" Toyota Financial Services (TFS) Issues Auto Industry's First-Ever Asset-Backed Green Bond Bond Proceeds to Fund Consumer Loans and Leases for Toyota's Leading Portfolio of Green Vehicles TORRANCE, Calif., (March 24, 2014) – Toyota Financial Services (TFS) issued the auto industry's first-ever Asset-Backed Green Bond in the amount of $1.75 billion.

Autoblog Minute: Ford Ranger, UK Mustang, Hyundai Hybrid

Fri, Aug 28 2015

Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over the Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of the Toyota Prius and a new Hyundai. Autoblog's senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the weekly recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of Prius and a new Hyundai. I'm Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute weekly recap. 2011 was the last time we saw Ford's midsize pickup in the US but according to a report from the Detroit News we could see production of the Ranger at the [00:00:30] Dearborn automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant as early as 2018. Ranger could compete with the Chevy Colorado and perhaps revive the compact and midsize pickup market for Ford, but the future of Ranger in the US depends a lot on Ford's ongoing negotiations with the UAW. About 2,000 orders for the 2015 Mustang were placed in the UK, tying up production of the pony car until July 2016. According to details in a press release from Ford UK, [00:01:00] it looks like Brits are a lot like their American cousins, opting for the 5.0 liter V8, with Race Red as the popular color of choice. Photos of the 2016 Toyota Prius leaked generating a lot of buzz over the styling. This fourth generation Prius will have some new competition as spy shots of a new Hyundai also surfaced this week. The car is said to be a hybrid and a bonafide "Prius fighter." Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday, [00:01:30] including the latest in FCA rumors for 2016. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore. Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive. Each segment offers a quick and clear picture of what's happening in the automotive industry from the perspective of Autoblog's expert editorial staff, auto executives, and industry professionals.

Recharge Wrap-up: Model X pinch sensor update, Karma plans first store

Fri, Aug 26 2016

Tesla has improved Model X pinch sensor function in its latest over-the-air update. As we've seen, the pinch sensors already stop the falcon wing doors from completely shutting when they sense an obstruction. Now, though, the doors retract slightly after the sensors are triggered. While the pre-update doors didn't appear to do as much damage to human fingers as they do to various foodstuffs, it definitely looked uncomfortable, especially when one's hand is stuck in the partially closed door. Now, any pinch that does occur should be brief. See the updated sensors at work in the video above, and read more from Teslarati. Karma Automotive will move to Kawasaki's former headquarters in Irvine, California where it will also open its first store. The revival of the now defunct Fisker will sell its Revero plug-in hybrid through both dealerships and company-owned stores like the one planned for its new two-building campus. The property owner, Bixby, had planned to renovate the site, but now says Karma will make its own improvements. Bixby said it was seeking, "a progressive-minded tenant that would value the unique configuration," and appears to have found just that in Karma. Read more at Electrek, or from the OC Register. San Francisco is asking residents for help in expanding its subways. Using an online tool called Subway Vision, users can draw their own subway lines and stations that they'd like to see built and submit them to planners. Listening to the public is a useful tool for the city because, as Grahm Satterwhite, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency's principal planner, admits, "Transportation planners may be too close to a problem to see the solution." This approach allows the subway expansions to "reflect the vision of not just a few transportation planners, but of all San Franciscans," he says. Read more from FastCo.Exist. Toyota is continuing its commitment to Yellowstone National Park with a sustainable Youth Campus for environmental education. The automaker donated $1 million to Yellowstone for the facility, which is seeking Living Building Challenge certification. It will have onsite wastewater treatment for its locally sourced water usage, and will generate all of its electricity needs from photovoltaic panels, with excess to put back into the grid. The campus will have classrooms and residences for students and staff for its youth programs.
