1994 Toyota Supra Turbo - Dedicated Track Car 600hp on 2040-cars
Madison, Mississippi, United States
"Well sorted, dedicated track car - owned for past 10 plus years. No known damage, offs or excuses." I purchased this car from a friend that had shipped his car to Powerhouse Racing of Texas for a monster build. After many months he got the car back and did what most people do when it arrives back in their hands – looked for someone to sell it to as it wasn’t as interesting to own as it was to build. I took over this “drag queen” and removed the 6-point chromalloy cage, HKS triple clutch, huge turbocharger and high boost engine and started over. At least it had a brand new Toyota/Getrag V160 6-speed transmission and TRD LSD that were left over and kept. We used panel bonding to adhere the targa roof to the rest of the top and shipped it to Kirk Racing near Birmingham AL for a full DOM Steel roll cage including NASCAR bars on both driver and passenger sides and for the placement of the fuel cell. I asked for the “wife and kids plan” and got enough bars for two playgrounds precisely welded and reinforced shoehorned inside for a 4000 lbs car to crash at 100 MPH and hopefully walk away from. I then shipped the car to the famed Supra shop of Titan Motorsports in Orlando FL where Nero and his team mounted the seats, created the battery box, welded forced cooling plates onto the radiator and intercooler for maximum effect. They also did a nifty, low-drag cutouts job on the rear bumper, installed the J-spec gears in the diff, welded the steering column and mounted the battery disconnect. I then shipped the car to Performance Motorsports of Austin TX where Chris Johnson created a super sexy, high clearance and sweet sounding exhaust, custom brake ducts created, installed the catch can and modified the valve covers to accept larger crank vents to keep those high oil pressures from causing FMS failures. Back at home in Jackson MS is where the real work on taking all the base elements to the next level – fine tuning what was really needed to make such a beast thrive on some of the best road courses in North American. The engine was swapped for one with more torque and lower boost levels in mind, a smaller turbo sourced and a base tune on the AEM ECU. Track driving over the years has led me to change things that needed improvement or fixing including swapping pad combinations, creating a power steering cooler that would work and choosing the right fluids for the car. There was nothing more satisfying than showing up at a track day with your buddies, rolling the car out and almost never working on it other than swapping pads, wheels/tires and adding gas! Blasting by newer and more expensive exotics wasn’t too bad either! Hitting a “buck 70” on the back straights of Road Atlanta, smoking past full race car Porsche’s at Homestead or hanging with the Corvette gang at Barber is going to be missed but I’ve moved on to tracking motorcycles now … still it will be sad. I’ve got over $135,000 invested not including any maintenance. Don’t hesitate to contact me if I may be of help or to answer questions. I will deliver it in an enclosed trailer for FREE in a 400 mile radius with full payment.

Here's the 2017 Toyota 86: Don't call it a Scion
Fri, Feb 5 2016After we heard the bells toll for Scion yesterday, we told you that the Scion FR-S will transform into a Toyota. That's right: just a rebadging. The practical question is, which badge? The philosophical question, which we can't answer yet, is where it'll sit in the pantheon of front-engined, rear-drive Toyota sports cars, of which the Supra was the last one to visit our shores, from 1992 until 1998 in its fourth generation. And as if summoned by this conversation, this camouflaged prototype appeared. Our best guess is that this is going to be the US-bound, Toyota-badged version of the Subaru BRZ and all the other 86-badged variants: the Toyota 86 (in Asia, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and South Africa), Toyota GT86 (in Europe and New Zealand again), and Toyota FT86 (in Nicaragua and Jamaica). For simplicity's sake, let's call it a Toyota 86. Peer into the 86's swirly camo, and it looks like the car is going in for a light refresh. The lower intake in the front fascia, if it's representative of a production part, adopts a different shape and is considerably wider and narrower than either the BRZ or FR-S units. It also appears that the turn signal and its surround are reshaped, different than any of the current variants. Changes out back appear mild. The area around the license plate seems to be smoother, and there is likely a predictable light restyle of the bumper skin and defuser under the camo. We don't expect a significant power increase, and certainly not a turbocharger (sorry!), but crossing fingers wouldn't do any harm. Related Video:
Japanese automakers welcome North American trade deal, fear what's next
Tue, Oct 2 2018TOKYO — Toyota, Nissan and Mazda welcomed on Tuesday the revised North America trade deal that left Japanese automakers unscathed, but they may face a bumpy ride when Washington and Tokyo hold new talks on over $40 billion of annual U.S. auto imports from Japan. The United States and Canada reached an agreement on Sunday to update the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement after Washington had forged a separate trade deal with Mexico in August. The updated deal effectively maintains the auto industry's current footprint in North America, and spares Canada and Mexico from the prospect of U.S. national security tariffs on their vehicles. Mazda, which ships cars to the United States from Mexico and Japan, called the deal a "big step forward". Nissan, which makes the cars it sells in the United States locally as well as in Mexico, Japan and other countries, said it was "encouraged" by the agreement. Toyota, Japan's biggest automaker, said it was "pleased" that a basic deal was reached. Other automakers were not immediately available for comment. While the deal has removed the risk that the disintegration of the pact would have posed to automakers, bigger risks loom large for Japanese firms as a chunk of the roughly 7 million cars they sold in the U.S. last year were shipped from Japan, and a trade deal between Washington and Tokyo has yet to be agreed. The United States and Japan last week agreed to begin fresh trade talks, with U.S. President Donald Trump seeking to address Japan's $69 billion trade surplus, of which nearly two-thirds comes from auto exports. Washington is also investigating the possibility of slapping 25 percent tariffs on auto imports on national security grounds, although it has agreed with Japan to put any new tariffs on hold during the talks. Analysts say the United States may take a tougher stance on auto imports from Japan than from its neighbors. "If Japan requests an exemption from the 25 percent tariffs under consideration, Washington could propose a more strict cap on imports than it agreed to with Mexico and Canada," said Koji Endo, senior analyst at SBI Securities. "That would be a risk." This could be a big blow to Japan, as the United States is a key source of revenue for Japanese automakers including Toyota, Nissan and Honda. The U.S. market accounts for a quarter or more of their annual global vehicle sales, and of their total U.S.
More head-up displays are coming to a dashboard near you
Tue, Feb 27 2018With the exception of Apple products — $1,000 for a freakin' smartphone? — one great thing about tech is you typically get more for your money with each passing year. This is particularly true with automotive tech: Features like driver assists and surround-view cameras that were once exclusively available in luxury vehicles now come standard even on some economy cars. The same thing is slowly happening with head-up displays (HUD). For example, the 10-inch HUD in the 2018 Toyota Camry is one of the largest and best HUDs I've seen in any car. And a big improvement on the much smaller HUD in the latest Toyota Prius. Mazda is another mainstream brand that offers HUDs in several of its vehicles. But instead of embedding expensive components in the dash and using a special windshield, the HUDs in the Mazda3 and Mazda6 use a thin plastic lens that folds down when not in use. MINI has a similar solution, but this low-cost approach has limits in terms of size and position of the images compared to traditional HUDs that use the windshield as a screen. We're also starting to see similar lens-based aftermarket options that can be added to any car. Last year I tested a portable HUD called Navdy that taps into a car's OBD-II port to provide info on speed and RPM and uses built-in GPS and Google Maps to show the surrounding area, display speed limits and route you to your destination. Navdy also connects to an Android or iOS smartphone via Bluetooth to display data from phone calls, texts and music playing on a connected device, and it's simple to use and easily visible in almost any lighting condition. While Navdy is still available online, late last year the company ran into financial difficulties, and product support has been halted. I recently tested a new portable HUD called Hudly that's not quite fully baked and falls short of Navdy because it doesn't tap into an OBD-II port. Since a companion smartphone app for Hudly isn't scheduled to launch until next month, for now it only mirrors what's on a smartphone. So it can be used for nav and other apps, and its features are very limited. Between automakers adding HUDs in more reasonably priced cars and the aftermarket filling in the gaps for existing vehicle owners with add-ons, the technology is becoming more prevalent and affordable. And it's also getting better.
