1993.5 Toyota Supra Turbo(single) 6-speed on 2040-cars
Golden, Colorado, United States
**Updated 7/10** 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- Interior- 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. 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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota FCV ready for production, Nissan tests Leaf-to-Home energy management
Fri, Oct 17 2014Toyota will begin selling its hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (FCV) in Japan in December. The US and Europe can expect to see the car become available next summer. The FCV, which will likely be called "Mirai" (meaning "future") in Japan, is ready for production ahead of its initial deadline at the end of the fiscal year in March. Toyota planned for annual production of 700 units, but might increase output to meet higher-than-expected demand, which is currently nearing 1,000 units. The cars will mostly be sold in the four cities where a hydrogen fueling infrastructure is already being put in place: Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka. Read more at Nikkei Asian Review. Nissan is testing the Leaf EV as part of an energy management system including "Leaf to Home" technology. The system allows the Leaf to help support the power grid during peak energy usage, or provide backup power to a home or building during outages, particularly in emergencies like natural disasters. Using the Leaf's battery to provide electricity during peak hours would lessen the demand on the grid and make the system work more efficiently. Furthermore, if consumers are compensated for the energy saved by using the Leaf for power during periods of high demand, it could encourage more people to adopt the EV.

CDP keeps track of how much companies are disclosing about their impact on global climate change. "The need for data on corporate climate change impacts and strategies to reduce them has never been greater," says CDP CEO Paul Simpson. "For this reason we congratulate those businesses that have achieved a position on CDP's Climate Disclosure Leadership Index." Other perfect scores were earned by Nissan, BMW, Daimler and General Motors. Read more in the press release from Honda below. Scientists at Stanford University have developed a lithium ion battery that can warn users before it overheats. A thin layer of copper between the anode and the layer separating the anode from the cathode acts as a sensor. When it detects lithium buildups from overcharging are approaching the separator, it sends an early alert long before it gets to a point where it would cause a short (which could lead to a fire). The new safety measure could be used in all sorts of battery applications, and not be limited to EVs. Learn more at Phys.org.
How Charlotte lost to Plano without even knowing it was dealing with Toyota
Thu, 08 May 2014With Toyota set to relocate its North American headquarters to the Dallas, TX suburb of Plano following a top-secret, 100-city search, the cities that missed out can now begin asking themselves what happened during a process they apparently knew little about.
That's a particularly brutal task for Charlotte, which, according to North Carolina's Secretary of Commerce, Sharon Decker, finished second to Plano. While Toyota has been fairly open about what it was looking for in a new headquarters city - direct flights to Japan, proximity to its US production facilities, a lower cost of living, high-quality educational facilities and finding a neutral site suitable to the California, Kentucky and New York-based employees that would be relocated - it's been less open about how the finalist cities, which also included Atlanta and Denver, stacked up against each other.
The Charlotte Observer has a few ideas. Part of the problem is the distinct lack of direct flights between Charlotte and Asia. US Airways, which operates a hub at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, doesn't fly to Asia.
Toyota expects hybrids will soon reach 20-percent sales volume globally
Wed, 12 Mar 2014Hybrids have come quite a long way from their roots as dull, slow, boring ecomobiles. Today, Porsche sells three hybrid models, one of which is the amazing 918 Spyder. BMW will soon sell four, including a low-slung, two-seat sports car. Even Ferrari and McLaren, full-fledged hypercar manufacturers, are embracing the tech. And all of these cars are sold alongside the same sort of boring cars that popularized hybrids in the first place. According to Toyota Chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada, though, we should see an even bigger increase in the number of hybrid vehicles in the coming years.
"I foresee hybrid models pretty soon reaching 20 percent of global sales from about 13 percent to 14 percent now," Uchiyamada-san told Automotive News. Uchiyamada is the man behind the original Prius, which gives him some degree of authority on making predictions about hybrid adoption.
What's remarkable, though, is that the 20-percent figure doesn't include plug-in hybrids, just gas- and diesel-electric models. "Suppliers need higher volumes to slash costs of components specific to plug-in models, including batteries that should be bigger and more capable than the ones used in traditional hybrids," Uchiyamada told AN.
