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 FT-1 Concept presents a future we want to live in [w/videos]
Mon, 13 Jan 2014Toyota has brought its A game to the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, showing off the striking FT-1 Concept. Short for "Future Toyota," the FT-1 is, we're imagining, the supposed Supra Concept we reported on early in December.
Penned by the Calty Design Research team, the FT-1 draws inspirations from the FT-HS and the Lexus LF-LC concepts from 2007 and 2012, respectively. We certainly see a bit of Lexus LF-A in the design, while there's more than a hint of Formula One in the FT-1's pointed nose.
"Our team was heavily influenced by Toyota's sports car past, especially Celica and Supra, and we sought to capture some of that history. It is an aggressive, track-focused sports car concept with a presence that has been amplified for shock and awe," said Alex Shen, Calty's Studio Chief Designer.
Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells
Sat, Jan 10 2015Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.
Fewest vehicles ever found eligible for Most American survey
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Once again, the most American car on the market is from an American brand. The Ford F-150 retained its number one spot in Cars.com's annual survey of the most American vehicles, trumping the Toyota Camry, which remains at number two.
Ford taking the top spot is small consolation, though, as the Detroit Three aren't too well represented here. General Motors scored a win at number seven, with the Chevrolet Corvette, while Chrysler squeaked in at number ten, with the Dodge Viper. Outside of those three vehicles, Toyota and Honda dominate the top ten.
What's most remarkable, though, is that there were so few cars available for this year's list.
