 Hello All, I bought this car almost 2 years ago. If you are serious about this type of car search 1ZZFE oil burning. Anyway, I bought this aware of the issue due to its terrific body and condition. I had the motor completely rebuilt. This included new bore, pistons, rings, oil pump, timing components, crank polish, all bearings and wear items, A valve job was done also. This was at approx. 71000. After completion, it runs perfect. I drove it that way for 1000 miles or so, and noticed it revved excessively on the highway, so I looked for solutions.

I bought a brand new Toyota 6 speed trans that is an exact replacement. You can research this on Monkey Wrench Racing. This includes a Limited Slip Differential. It made all the difference. It is much more relaxed on the highway now and is now 6 speed with all genuine Toyota parts. I changed the clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, slave cylinder and surfaced the flywheel at that same time ( approx. 72000 miles) using OEM parts.

Within the last 1000 miles, I replaced all brakes and struts. The tires are getting near time for replacement. They have ample tread, but are getting old. I don't remember exactly how old the tires are, but I think they are over 5 years old. I did not list each and every maintenance item I changed while working on it, but rest assured, if it was a wear item, I changed it. This car is extremely reliable and so much fun to drive. It is very light, so it handles great!!

I really enjoy this car, but it is one of many vehicles I own, and storage and insurance are becoming a burden. Every item works as it should, and it recently passed NJs stringent inspection testing.

I recently purchased a hardtop for this, but did not yet buy the mounting kit. It is on there with 2 of the 6 hard mounting points. It will not harm it being on there as long as it isn't driven without the mounting kit.  The top has a value of approx 2000, so the buyer can recoup some of the price if it is sold. The top was shipped to me from a friend in England. This is a Toyota factory top ( ROW got hardtop option) and is in excellent shape. I have also bought a new Clarion stereo with Sirius and Bluetooth for this car, but never installed it. It is new in box. I bought it so I can talk on the phone when I drive. I will include these with the purchase.

If you have any questions email me or call at 800-421-9494 X7128 M-F 11-8 Eastern

Does Scion's LA concept presage a US Auris?

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

When the doors open at the LA Auto Show in a few weeks, Scion will be on hand to showcase its new iM Concept. But considering what little Toyota's youthful brand has revealed about the concept so far, it's led to rampant speculation. And the prevailing wisdom seems to point towards a production iM arriving as a Scion-badged version of the Toyota Auris.
For those unfamiliar, the Auris is to European (and other) markets essentially what the Matrix is (was?) to ours: a hatchback version of the Corolla. The model line was first introduced in 2006, looking in its first iteration like an overgrown version of the contemporary second-gen Yaris, and was replaced with the current model in 2012. It's available as a five-door hatch or wagon, with a range of gasoline, diesel and hybrid powertrains available.
If the rumors - spurred by the similarity of the iM concept's nose depicted in the teasers - prove accurate, and public reception to the idea ends up spurring Toyota to put it into action, it wouldn't be the first overseas Toyota brought over as a Scion. The Scion iQ was sold as the Toyota iQ overseas years before it arrived here.
