I alright as much as I don't want to I'm putting up my MKIII for sale, I've been kidding my self thinking that it can be a reliable daily driver so I think its best if she goes on to someone with a little more time and the resources to take care of her. I got this car in November 2011 from a place called Corporate Auto Brokers in Cummings Georgia. with 104,000 miles on it, its at 116,000 now. I got it with a blown head gasket and didn't realize it until about march of last year when It really went and started to smoke and get hot on me. So I parked it and it sat all summer. I got the head resurfaced and valves done with the seals and a new Felpro gasket kit with ARP bolts. The work was done by my mechanic. Hes the head mechanic for a local trucking company and used to own a shop that specialized in Volkswagens back in the 80s. And a family friend, so I was with him while he worked on it almost the whole time. We got it finished up in September has been running great but there has been a few slight issues. Theres some sort of issue with the idle control valve cause it wants to lope when I first start her up but clears soon after that. And the coolant hose in the back of the head blew witch was replaced with new Gates hoses. Other than that there is a leak in the power steering system some where. It functions correctly but needs to be filled about every 2 weeks or so. My Mech thought it was a pressure line and bought one to replace it when he did the coolant hose but it didn't turn out to be that and I was in a hurry to get the car back and he works full time and then some at his job so I didn't have time to wait for him. Other than that I think it needs a wheel baring in the back. Oh and almost forgot me and a buddy replaced the diff back in November it was making a whirring noise and I put in that MotorCraft gear oil when we did the job. I forgot the miles on the replacement one but it was under 100,000. And I installed one of the old style Driftmotion Intercooler kits and when It the Head was done I got one of those ebay RDDPs witch has held up pretty good. Along with that I had a local exhaust shop build a full 3'' system with a high flow cat and to a Full Boar Performance muffler. Speaking of the turbo it boost pretty well but is smoking and is on its way out. That it for all the major mechanical stuff. Theres some smaller things that need done. I like it would be best to go though and replace all the coolant hoses, things like that I just don't have time to do it. And I just got a new set of tire on it. Ohsitus cheapys but I couldn't afford Dunlops like I had on there before like I wanted. And I have a used set of Tokico Illumina IIs with a eilbach pro kit waiting to be put on. 

As for the body and interior they are in amazing shape. Out side the white its awesome and dose not look like 22 year old paint. no dents or dings. no major scratches or nicks. Only issue is on the front bumper. I had some little girl in a camaro in front of me on the interstate run over a piece of blown out semi tire and kicked it up at my front bumper where it cracked the black trim misshaping it a bit as well as take some of the paint off the bumper.

The interior is amazing. It had to have lived in a garage for most of its life. Cause its in beautiful shape. The dash In great shape no cracks or discoloration. The head liner looks about new. The matts are a little tired and same with the carpet its getting quite nappy but no major stains or flaws. only let down is the drivers seat. Having it sit out in my Mechs drive most of last summer I guess let a a crack in the seat started to get wider and I eventually tore it some how and its worked into good sized spot now. But other than that I describe it was if it was found in a cargo container from like 1996 as to the body and interiors' condition.

Toyota CamRally is vanilla spiced

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

We weren't quite sure it was possible, but NASCAR driver Parker Kligerman and the other folks behind this Toyota Dream Build Challenge vehicle (check out the other cars in the challenge) have made the Camry, a versatile but vanilla family sedan, into a performance car to be reckoned with. And by stripping it (literally) of its versatility and injecting some spice into it, this rally-spec Camry does indeed appeal to the enthusiast crowd.
The appeal starts with the CamRally's vintage Toyota racing colors of red, orange and yellow painted on a widened body. Those wide fender flares and rocker panels, paired with the revised front and rear fascias (and massive rear spoiler), lend the car an aggressive look without being tacky, and enhance the aerodynamics. But peel back the skin and you'll find plenty of performance upgrades to back up the looks.
While Toyota doesn't say how much horsepower it makes, the CamRally's V6 is turbocharged, and we assume the car's brake upgrade is indicative of the engine's increased output. The stripped interior only contains what's needed for rally racing, including bucket seats, a motorsport steering wheel covered in Alcantara, a carbon-fiber dashboard and a roll cage.

Final decision on Toyota/BMW sports car due by year end

Fri, Sep 18 2015

BMW and Toyota signed a memorandum of understanding to share technology and build a sports car way back in 2012, and months later, they made that partnership official. This oft-rumored model from two auto industry titans still hasn't hit the road, and the time has come to make a final decision about its future. Thankfully, the model's fate is just a few months from being known. "By the end of the year we will approve whether or not we will make it," a Toyota spokesperson said about the sports car project, according to Automotive News Europe. "The whole study before that, on what kind of platform, on what kind of architecture, that's been progressing quite well. We haven't yet decided to give the green light to the project, but it's coming up." The collaboration is supposed to result in jointly developed fuel-cell tech, composites, and research into lithium-air batteries. Little is officially known about what Toyota and BMW are planning for the sports car project, but there are plenty of rumors about what's in store. Both automakers are supposed to get their own version of the vehicle. Some reports say the Japanese model will be the revival of the Supra, and the Bimmer-badged one might end up being a replacement for the Z4. The potential powertrains have been suggested as a German-sourced, turbocharged inline six with rear-wheel drive and a super-capacitor-powered plug-in hybrid with all-wheel drive.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
