Up for sale is a black 1998 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo. I am the fourth owner, having owned the car for nearly ten years, and to this day, it still puts a smile on my face. There are many nice automobiles out there, but this is one of the few where you get it all: design, engineering, performance, exclusivity, and reliability! Under my ownership it has never been in an accident, always garage kept, never smoked in, and well-maintained. It has seen rain and even a little snow over the years, but generally was not driven in inclement weather. Exterior rates at a 7/10 and interior a 6.5/10; it shows very well for a car its age.

- Targa roof leak - known issue w/ Supras. Under heavy rain, the roof sometimes leaks in a single spot (driver-side), about a drop every ten seconds. To fix, the removable roof-lock strip may either need to be caulked (i.e., silicon seal) or replaced. This was not a big deal for me as I tend to not drive in rain and it does not occur all of the time.
- Wheels - overall in good condition. On the passenger side, there are some minor curb rash areas. Additionally, passenger side wheels were used with a cleaner that added a light hazy like coating to the chrome finish.
- Right side windshield washer nozzle does not stream fluid. Not sure if this is due to wax build up clogging the nozzle or some other issue, but not an issue for me as the fluid from the left nozzle does the job.
- Scratches/ding/chips - The carbon fiber hood has a scratch near the driver-side headlight (see picture), and a small chip on hood edge. There are scratches on the front and rear driver side fenders as well as the right rear bumper. There is a door ding on the driver door. Overall finish is quite good for a fifteen year old car.
- Missing seat slider on driver side - it must have popped off at one point but it does not affect operation/functionality of moving the seat back forward/backward
- Trunk latch - in order to open the trunk, the trunk release handle needs to stay in the "up" position to release the lock
- Radio antenna - the mast does not go up and down. Affects the reception of a few FM radio stations and all AM stations
- Headlight beam cutoff - the OEM glass headlamps (imported from Europe) have a different beam cut-off pattern than stock headlamps, which have plastic lens, sold in North American Supras. The glass lens is more durable and functionally superior to the plastic lens (and work great with the HID's) emitting a brighter light, but the cut-off forces the beam to a shorter distance. This can be adjusted, based on owner preference, but it was never an issue for me.
- The vehicle is being sold as-is. I have made my best attempt to disclose all known information.
- Have financing in-place. Do not use Buy It Now feature unless you intend to pay within the specified time frame
- This Supra will be advertised on multiple sites, plus I will bring it to local car dealers for their best offers, so I may end the eBay listing if sold through another channel
- Have most records/receipts of parts purchased and services performed
- Always used Mobil 1 Synthetic oil
- Has been to the track once (MIR in November of 2003)
- I either wait or use the turbo timer to cool the turbos before shutting off engine
- Boost is at stock levels for at least the past two years (to preserve turbo life)
- When I had the performance parts installed in 2006, I dyno'd it: result was 332 rwhp on Mustang Dyno @ 15 PSI (prior to mods, rwhp was 255)
- Have title in-hand; no liens

Lightweight Toyota GT86 spotted on Nordschleife with carbon panels, upgraded aero
Tue, 24 Jun 2014We've seen (and frankly reported on) so many rumors of more powerful and performance-focused versions of the Subaru BRZ, Toyota GT86 and Scion FR-S at this point that haven't materialized that, at this point, we're almost tired of them. Almost. But what we have here was enough to pique our jaded interests as only a carbon-bodied sports car on the Nürburgring could do.
What we're looking at is, well, we don't quite know, to tell you the truth. What we can tell is that it's a Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S for us) wearing new wheels and a carbon-fiber hood, roof, racing-spec rear wing and subtle lip spoiler. The vents in the hood indicate that the prototype in question could be packing an upgraded engine to go with the lighter body panels and upgraded aero, and the interior (at least as far as we can see) looks pretty well stripped out.
The right-hand drive configuration tells us this is either destined for former territories of the British Empire or for the racetrack. Considering the ride height, full glass and apparent lack of roll cage, our money's on this prototype is being developed for the Japanese Domestic Market, where Toyota badges the sports car simply as the 86. We can always hope, though, that some version makes it into Scion showrooms in North America... we just won't get our hopes up too high.
Even Ferrari swept up in latest Takata recall expansion
Fri, May 27 2016The scope of Takata's deadly airbag problems continues to widen. Eight manufacturers announced recalls Friday that affect more than 12 million vehicles, according to documents filed with federal regulators. The automakers include Honda, which is recalling 4.5 million units, Fiat Chrysler with 4.3 million, Toyota with 1.65 million, and Subaru, which is recalling almost 400,000. Some of these cars include the Saab 9-2x and Pontiac Vibe that Toyota and Subaru made for General Motors. Mazda will recall 730,000 vehicles and Nissan has 400,000 affected units. The smallest numbers were posted by Mitsubishi, with 38,000 Lancers manufactured from 2006 to 2007, and as a noteworthy high-end manufacturer, Ferrari is calling back 2,800 vehicles. These are all US-market cars. Beyond America, the Japanese Transport Ministry has announced seven million additional vehicles will be recalled, which means 19.6 million vehicles across the globe are affected by recalls announced. The defects have been traced to an insufficiently manufactured airbag inflator, which lacks a drying agent that would prevent the inflators from deteriorating over time. Thirteen deaths have been linked to the faulty airbags, which have become unstable and are prone to exploding and showering vehicle occupants with lethal amounts of metal shrapnel. A private equity firm, KKR & Co., has been named in a possible buyout of the struggling Takata.

HQ move based on study, not pitch from Gov. Perry, Toyota says
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Toyota's surprising announcement on Monday that it will move its North American headquarters from Torrance, CA location to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX is allegedly not due to any political wrangling from the state's Republican governor, Rick Perry.
Perry (above) has been up front in his aggressive pursuit of businesses and jobs for Texas, traveling to California, Missouri, Illinois and New York to tempt corporations to his state. And it's not just about the promise of much lower taxes, a Perry spokesman reminds Automotive News that the state boasts, "a workforce that is skilled and ready to do any job."
For his part, Jim Lentz, Toyota's North American CEO said Plano was chosen through an internal process, with the location helped by its proximity to the company's massive pickup factory in San Antonio rather than any campaigning from the governor.
