After numerous showings/emails/texts/phone calls etc, I wanted to update this ad with more info.

This Supra started life as a pampered NA 5-speed Supra for the first 105k miles of it's existence.   Roughly 8 years ago, the transplant was completed (professionally), from Non-turbo 5-speed to TT- 6-speed(Getrag).   The 2JZ-GTE  engine saw no more than factory boost limits (~11.7psi) for nearly the entire life of the current engine(up until about 200 miles ago).

The car has the complete NA-TT swap minus the rear brake calipers.  The only reason is that ultimately I might have put a set of 15" drag wheels on the car, and the TT rear calipers don't work with these anyway, so the NA rear calipers remain.

All other standard NA to turbo parts have been converted(Front TT calipers, driveshaft, rear end, LSD,etc.).

Currently the Car is running a single turbo conversion, and is at ~500rwhp.  The car is on stock fuel and ECU, and the clutch has a "stock feel".  This makes for the perfect street Supra.

If you ever driven or owned a Supra with 800+hp, it sounds great on paper, but is simply not "streetable".

This car has the best of both worlds....Perfectly streetable--drives like a stock Supra....with a ton more "punch".    And is ready to go to the next level (give it AEM EMS and a Fuel upgrade and you're at 700+hp).

Please see the numerous pics below, but I would describe the car as followed:

Exterior-
The car was repainted in the Factory Renaissance Red, a few years ago.  The paint/sheen etc. look great, but there are a few chips(up front--hood and front bumper), and random door dings,etc(~10).  All the dings, could be repaired using PDR (paintless dent removal)  From 12+ feet away the car looks perfect.  As you get a little closer, you start seeing things that could use correction.  There is a 1" x 5" scrap on the front bumper cover (pass side, below light).

Interior-
This was the selling point of the car for me.  The is my 3rd MKIV, and I've also owned 3 Lexus SC300 cars.  As you start looking at cars that are 15-20 years old, the overall condition can vary two-fold.   This car clearly was garaged its entire life, as you can tell by the interior.  There is some slight sun-fading in the dash (it spent numerous years in AZ).  But overall the interior looks fantastic for it's age.

Motor-

The car does emit a little blue smoke on start up, which is the value steam seals (very common GTE issue).  I wanted to make sure that health of the motor is good however, so I just took the car in to get a compression and leak down test.  Both tests came back perfect!(formal documentation can be sent upon request).  Brand new plugs were just gapped, and installed, and the coilpacks were checked for any cracks (again..no issues).  As stated above this engine wasn't abused, and never pushed beyond 12psi.  Exact mileage of the engine is unknown, but approximate mileage is 50-60K.  In addition, the mileage of the chasis (138,200) is actually high.  The rear gearing wasn't swapped till about 2 months ago, so it was reading ~30% incorrect.  I estimate the actual mileage of the car at ~128K.

Items of attention-

1.  The rear power antenna is broke off at the base (all Toyotas/Lexus's with this style antenna eventually break......poor design).  The car has a App Radio, so it uses your cellphone to stream musics (Pandora, etc), so I never bothered to fix the antenna.
2. The rear tires are brand new, but the fronts could use a replacement in the near future (the car has been stored for 4 out of the last 5 years, on these tires).
3. The cruise control was deleted with the 98 steering wheel swap.  All compenents were retained, so it could be added back.
4. Since the car was lowered, with widened wheels, there is a small amount of rubbing over large bumps, etc.  Very common issue with any modified car.
5.  There is a small oil leak coming from the oil pan.
6.  The airbag light in on
7.  The power door lock actuators don't seem to work. (easy fix, but never got around to it).

Shipping/trades/financing:

1. I will sell the car internationally, if  the buyer pays all expenses, and completes payment via bank wire.   I live in Colorado so shipment to any "Port" city would have to be paid for at the buyers expense.  I will also ship the car to anywhere in the US (again the buyers expense---Uship is actually very reasonable), but payment would have to be made via Cashiers check, or bank wire.

2. I'm not accepting any trades at this time.

3. Financing-  MKIV Supras are between 16 and 21 years old.  You typically cannot finance these cars "traditionally".   I"ve personally used JJBest, as they will finance any Classic or Specialty vehicle with 20% down.   Also Credit unions typically are a better bet than large banks.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

The 2022 Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR 86 aftermarket upgrader's guide

Wed, Sep 1 2021

When you own an enthusiast car, there are few events more nerve-wracking than the introduction of its successor. Should you upgrade? Is it worthwhile? What will it cost you to part out your mods and trade up? Well, there's good news for owners of the outgoing Scion FR-S, Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ who are considering an upgrade: You might not have to start with a clean slate.  If you’re an owner (or even a casual fan) of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86 family of sports coupes, youÂ’re probably already aware that the 2022 models are more like aggressive overhauls than true, ground-up redesigns. Neither company really wants to put a spotlight on the fact that their coupes are a little less "all-new" and a little more "back and better than ever," but in our opinion, this is something Subaru and Toyota should embrace.  Why? In a word: continuity. Look no further than the NA (1989-1997) and NB (1999-2005) Mazda Miata. While they are regarded as distinct generations (the NA defined by its pop-up headlights and simpler lines; the NB by its fixed lamps and swoopier styling) and were offered with different equipment packages, the fundamental underlying chassis remained relatively unchanged. This meant that, in many cases at least, buyers could trade up to a new model but bring along some of their factory and aftermarket accessories because theyÂ’d still fit. The BRZ and GR 86 are meant to be fairly bare-bones vehicles, the idea being that they appeal to those who want limited frills at a low cost and those who prefer to view cars as canvases rather than finished masterpieces. A long-running platform makes an excellent candidate for the latter type of car buyer. So, what does that mean for the 2022 BRZ and GR 86? Well, let's break it down by whatÂ’s truly new, whatÂ’s kind-of-new, and whatÂ’s essentially carry-over, with some guidance from Subaru and Toyota engineers.  2022 Subaru BRZ blue action profile View 22 Photos Spankin' new LetÂ’s start with the obvious: the styling. Even if you can find older aftermarket appearance kits that will fit the new BRZ and GR 86 on paper, they probably wonÂ’t bolt up nicely to the new cars due to their sleek new exterior designs. Wings and spoilers might still bolt up, but donÂ’t count on it, and theyÂ’ll probably look disjointed at best anyway.

Toyota Auris Touring Sports is a handsome Prius V alternative [w/videos]

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

The Toyota Prius V has a lot to recommend it, but adventurous and sporty styling is not in its repertoire. That's why this new Auris Touring Sports has our attention. Claimed to be the "first full hybrid estate car" in the compact class, this two-box Auris has genuine visual panache to go with its load-lugging capability and parsimonious fuel economy. In the metal, we think its v-shaped grille and headlamp treatment acquits itself better than it does on the new RAV4, a model that shares its new design language.
Built by Toyota UK, the Auris Touring Sports hybrid is powered by a familiar-sounding 1.8-liter gas engine paired with an electric motor, with total system output quoted at 134 horsepower. The model will also be available in a variety of gas or diesel trims if you prefer your vehicle sans electrification (a non-hybrid model is shown). It goes on sale later this year in Europe, but don't hold your breath to see one in North America. Still interested? Scroll below to see a couple of videos and to read the official press release.
