*Disclaimer THIS IS NOT A SHOW CAR*
I have had this car just over 3 years and have enjoyed every moment with it. I am now married, my life has changed, and its time for me to let her go. True GTS with factory diff. This is a pretty solid car that does need some work but still runs and drivers fantastically. STRONG 16V motor rebuilt about 30k miles ago. The good: (new(ish) parts/service) timing belt was done about 30k miles ago Injen cold air intake 2 years ago
greddy coilovers 3 years ago Techno toy tuning short shift kit last year full fluid change in trans and diff last year cusco front strut bar alternator last year battery this year starter this year all belts and silicone hoses 2 years ago tires are in great shape coolant flush/new overflow 2 years ago coil/plugs/wires last year distributor/cap/rotor this year brake and clutch master cylinder this year front pads late last year Steel braided brake lines (last year) rear pads/rotors this year header/hks muffler (2 years ago) side windows/ windshield re-sealed (damn water leaks) last year personal steering wheel with NRG carbon quick realease hub (2 years ago)
The bad: the body. I had the car painted 2 years ago and i would say its a 5 out of 10. Shortly after I had it painted the car got pelted by hail and it is still visible in parts of the roof where the PDR guy could not get the dents out. It is also visible on the pillars. The roof had some touch up work by Carnica and you can definetely see a blend line. There are dents and scratches around the car as well as the formation of some rust. Again it is not a show car and it is 29 years old. The speedometer is not working. i swapped out the speedo cable to no avail so I am not sure what the issue is. Tach and other guages work fine. trunk key is different from ignition and door key passenger side door lock works fine but looks like someone tried to pry out the lock previously (before my ownership) so it looks a bit ugly I get some water seepage with heavy rain in the rear window. I honestly have just not felt like tearing that all apart for the few times I do see some moisture. Kouki front bumper that is zip tied on. I was NOT crazy about the correct brackets to fit this bumper. The STOCK full length from bumper is installed with kouki bumper ziptied over but it does not fit all that well. I will include the JDM brackets if you would like to swap them out. No radio antenna but I really never listen to the radio
dash has a crack in the center The ugly: NO INTERIOR. no carpet, rear seat, roof liner, etc. Stock passenger seat with corbeu belts and no name seat for driver (NOT adjustable) with g force 5 point belts. The ring and pinion are getting pretty noisy. Its time for service on the ring and pinion which is honestly one of the reasons I am looking to sell the car. I feel like as little as I am driving the car I might just let the next person deal with the issue and sell the car cheaper. Oil pan gasket is starting to leak BUT nothing significant (no puddles etc just a wet pan) Take a look at the car in person if you like. I live 15 miles north of downtown Chicago. If there is something I have forgotten I will certainly update the description accordingly. Feel free to ask questions about the car. I have the reserve set at what I want to sell the car at. If I cant meet my reserve I will just keep the car. Please do not ask what the reserve is just bid what you think the car is worth. I have a set of spare valve cover gaskets, master cylinder rebuild kit, pop up headlight (both are working now) and caliper rebuild kit, speedo cable, and whatever else I can find that I will include with the car. |

First Toyota unintended acceleration case headed for trial
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Toyota is going to be back in the spotlight, as the first of its unintended acceleration lawsuits is headed for trial. This case covers a Los Angeles sushi shop owner, Noriko Uno. According to the what the family told The Detroit News, Uno only put about 10,000 miles on her 2006 Toyota Camry in four years. Uno was apparently afraid of high speeds, avoiding the freeway and taking a route home along LA's surface streets to avoid them.
On August 28, 2009, Uno's Camry suddenly accelerated to 100 miles per hour, eventually striking a telephone poll and a tree and killing her. The family contends that Uno attempted to step on the brakes and pull the emergency brake, neither of which brought her speed under control, while Toyota maintains that improperly installed floormats and driver error have been behind the majority of the 80 cases expected to be heard in court.
In Uno's case, The Detroit News is expecting the trial to focus on the lack of an override if the gas and brake pedals were pressed at the same time. Brake overrides were installed on Toyota's European fleet. The Uno family attorney will need to prove to the jury that it wasn't driver error that killed Noriko Uno.
Scion iA and iM rolled into Yaris and Corolla lineups for 2017
Thu, Mar 17 2016The Scion brand may be going away, but most of its cars (sorry, tC) are living on. We'll see the 2017 Toyota 86 (nee Scion FR-S) at the New York Auto Show next week, and the automaker already confirmed that the Scion iA and iM will be rebadged as Toyotas. But instead of standing on their own, the former Scions will be rolled into existing model lines. "Yaris iA" and "Corolla iM" will be the official names of the cars, effective for 2017. It's a smart move, paring the relatively new Scion nameplates with well-known, existing Toyota monikers. Scion spokeswoman Nancy Hubbell tells Autoblog that the iA already exists as the Yaris in the Canadian and Mexican markets, so "that connection was already there." Plus, it's better for marketing. The combination of the two vehicles all under the Yaris nameplate means Toyota can focus its advertising dollars on one vehicle line, simply saying that you can now have the Yaris as a four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback. "The same goes with Corolla," Hubbell explains. She says the existing Toyota sedan and the Scion iM "paired really well," and again, it means Toyota can advertise the Corolla as having two body styles moving forward. There are benefits from a sales perspective, too. Never mind that Scion division sales were already included in Toyota's overall numbers – calling the new cars Yaris iA and Corolla iM means the company won't have to report these cars individual sales separately. It's like when Toyota made the Matrix – its technical name was Corolla Matrix, so its individual sales didn't have to be broken out. That means an extra boost in overall numbers for the Yaris and Corolla, even if the cars would have been reported under Toyota's numbers had they kept their Scion badges.

2014 Toyota 4Runner Limited
Thu, 08 May 2014What would you say if we told you that outside of Jeep and Land Rover, the best brand for those who want to go off road is Toyota? Sounds remarkable, eh? But the truth is, Toyota's history of providing vehicles for the rougher bits of our blue marble dates back to 1950, barely a decade after Willys built the first Jeeps and only a few years after Land Rover made its big debut with the iconic Series I.
In fact, Toyota's start in off-roaders was with a small contract for providing the US Army with vehicles, during the Korean War. From that, the BJ was spawned. This Jeep-like vehicle evolved into the 20 Series and then into the iconic 40 Series Land Cruiser in the 1960s.
So yes, Toyota knows its way around the trails. While the Land Cruiser, deservedly, gets all the attention thanks to its impressive longevity, we're partial to the 4Runner, which is a far more affordable entry that serves as Toyota's challenger to the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
