New York, New York, United States

YOU WILL GET TONS OF ATTENTION IN THIS CAR! Every red light in NYC someone's giving me the thumbs-up or telling me about the one they used to have.
For sale this 1983 Corolla wagon with the original 1.6 (gets tremendous gas mileage) and the automatic trans. This car is currently insured, registered, and inspected in New York with a clear title in my name. This is my daily driver; she gets parked on the streets of Manhattan at night and Brooklyn during the day. LOTS new on this ride done by a trusted legit mechanic, much of it with warranties. New; entire brake system including front calipers and rotors, rear drums and wheel cylinders, plus e-brake & cable. Stops on a dime with no pulling. New; entire front suspension including control arms, tie rods, bushings, shocks. New rear shocks as well. New; entire power steering system including a brand new steering rack and new pump. New water pump & thermostat. New timing belt just replaced. -Fog lights re-hooked up (they go on with the headlights automatically and look great). Has an aftermarket GT steering wheel; the horn works great but works from a button on the dash. The previous owner said the trans was rebuilt but I have no proof except that it shifts & downshifts perfectly. As I said I drive this beast every day and it gets unbelievable MPG. Full older custom exhaust was just checked out by an exhaust shop who declared that it is tight throughout. *The car is rusty with some holes; that yellow paint was sprayed right over the rust and it's bubbling in the back. *Driver's seat is loose on one side due to a recently broken mount or something. I drive with the back seat folded forward which props it up. *Radio does not work *A/C looks complete but doesn't blow cold *Dashboard is beat all to hell with huge cracks all over it. *Speedometer doesn't work and stopped at 163,000! (all other gauges work) I've had the car since springtime and have taken it to Boston, Providence, and New Paltz so I'm sure it's way up there. I got the feeling that before I got the car it hadn't been driven much in years. *Carb probably needs to be replaced as it runs rich. I don't really care since I usually go like 10 miles a day, but some days it smokes and really ought to be done. *Small oil leak that also smokes occasionally, and when it does it's smoky. |

Autocar pits McLaren MP4-12C against turbo Toyota GT86
Thu, 29 Aug 2013The Toyota GT86, in all of its forms, is one of the best-handling cars money can buy, a trait that can put a smile on the faces of all but the most jaded car enthusiasts. But if good handling isn't what they're looking for, then what is? Our first guess would have to be more power, something the 200-horsepower Toyota would benefit from. Autocar tries out that theory by driving two turbocharged GT86s on track, then pitting the more powerful one against the 616-hp McLaren MP4-12C in a track battle.
The first GT86 turbo Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe drives makes around 255 rear-wheel horsepower and a bucket-load more torque than the stock car. That's plenty of power to either have a lot of fun or get into a lot of trouble. But the GT86 that Sutcliffe tails in the McLaren is race-prepped, stripped to the bone and wears slicks to harness a heavy-hitting 335 hp at the wheel. Weighing in at under 2,500 pounds, the Toyota can't overcome the MP4-12C's power-to-weight ratio of 5.3 pounds per horsepower, but it comes pretty close.
Enjoy a lot of chasing and drifting fun in the video below!
Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R is road-going version of brand's racing technology [w/video]
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Did you know that the Yaris is Toyota's best-selling vehicle in Europe? That may help explain to us Americans why the car that's lowest on the company's totem poll here in the US got turned into an all-wheel-drive hybrid track monster for the 2013 Frankfurt Monster Show.
Called the Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R, this three-door pocket rocket isn't just a hybrid making a lot of horsepower - it incorporates technology from Toyota's TS030 Hybrid racecar that competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship series, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Yaris Hybrid-R packs a 300-horsepower, turbocharged, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine under its hood, which should be enough for most speed freaks, but Toyota pairs it with two 60-hp electric motors at each rear wheel (the same ones used in the production Yaris Hybrid that's sold in Europe). That makes total system output an insane-for-this-size 420 hybrid horsies.
But that's not all, as the Yaris Hybrid-R forgoes the traditional battery pack below the rear seats in favor of a supercapacitor, which can both hold more energy and has a much faster power charge/discharge speed than traditional batteries. Paired with the supercapacitor is a third 60-hp electric motor/generator positioned between the engine and six-speed sequential transmission. Its job is to feed the super capacitor energy during deceleration and direct its power to the rear electric motors when more grip and oomph is needed.
Oh, Kei Go: Toyota set to enter JDM minicar market?
Fri, 01 Oct 2010Toyota is looking to get bigger... by going smaller. The Japanese automaker is looking to enter the kei car market, a popular segment in its homeland. Kei cars are small vehicles with restrictions on length (11.15 feet), width (4.86 feet), engine size (660 cubic centimeters) and power output (63 horsepower). Currently, Toyota is the only Japanese automaker not producing vehicles for this segment, but that is set to change, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.
Thanks to its relationship with Daihatsu, Toyota can jump right into the kei car game. Daihatsu is one of the largest producer of kei vehicles and it is currently owned by Toyota.
Although kei cars are restricted in terms of size and power, they are not restricted by technology. Automakers utilize different drive configurations, powertrains and amenities to keep their cars fresh. Daihatsu and Toyota plan to work together to produce Toyota-branded kei cars. The two companies will utilize Toyota's knowledge of electric and hybrid systems to produce efficient little vehicles for the Japanese market.
