Charleston, South Carolina, United States
|
I am Putting my custom 1st gen Celica out there for sale. Its a very nice little car and has had a lot of work put into it. Below is a list of modifications.
Engine and Trans: Fuel injected 4.0 Alluminum V8 from a 1992 Lexus SC400. Engine has All new gaskets, new starter, and fresh red powdercoating. Custom built wire harness and fuse block with all refernce material provided. Rebuilt Lexus 4 speed Auto trans converted to slip yoke tail shaft, W/ 2600 stall converter, 1969 Camaro auto shifter. Aluminum radiator with Flex-a-lite electric fan. All new fuel system, Braided AN lines, Billet fuel filter, MSD fuel injection pump, Poly fuel cell mounted under rear of car. Exhasut is 2' primary factory headers with Stainless magnaflow Y collector into 3" all the way back to Greddy Ti Muffler. Engine is equipped with the original Lexus A/C compressor, and the celica originally came with A/C, so all or the major components are there to make the A/C work, but it is missing the A/C hoses, and the condensor. Has remote mounted oil filter kit with upgraded high pressure oil hoses. Ask if there is anything else you have questions about. Rear Differential: Chevy 12 bolt originally from a 1972 Chevelle. Heavily built up, Moser axles W/ long studs, Olds big bearing ends/C-clip eliminators, Mark Williams spool, Richmond 4.56 Pro gears, Aluminum rear cover. Note: The gears are noisy, I would switch them out for street gears if car was to be driven frequently. Still running Drum brakes. Has custom driveshaft with toyota front u-joint and chevy rear u-joint. Suspension and Steering: Front short stroked coil over AE86 struts with new KYB inserts, cut rear springs. AE86 front subframe conversion with Power Rack & Pinion steering (New Reman Rack and new custom high pressure line with AN fittings). Has Negative camber roll center adjusters in front to compensate for the vehicle being lowered. The front camber is -3 degrees. It could be changed back to a normal camber spec if you wished to do so by changing to a standard roll center adjuster. But honestly the negative camber fits this car very well. I had the front AE86 Corolla hubs re-drilled to 5 lug pattern, it works for now, but I would plan on doing the Aerospace components 5 lug prostreet brake kit. It would offer better performance and flare. Body and paint: Fresh Paint, Frost Lime Green from 1969 Camaro. Shaved parking lights, shaved gas door, shaved USDM rear bumper holes, shaved side vents, shaved oem mirror mounts, fitted with sport mirrors. All new front, rear, and side window seals installed during the paint process, so no need to worry about paint bubbling up around tape lines and such. it was done correctly. The car has been fitted with Australian market all steel Front and rear bumpers. The front bumper has been painted a couple times and is currently gloss black, looks nice, does not have any rust issues. Has the original Australian market front bumper steel filler panels, and bumper brackets and lights. The rear bumper is original chrome, but has been damaged/repaired in the past. it has a lot of dings. It fits the body lines fine, but would need to be refurbished to be up to par with the rest of the car. Interior: OMP racing seat. Custom Sparco quick release steering hub and sport wheel. All other interior is original and about a 5/10, it looks ok, but could use redoing. The original dashpad was badly cracked. It was removed and a dashcap put in its place. I still have the original dashcap and it will come with the car. Wheels: Immaculate vintage Appliance Dia-Mags circa 1977. I took these out of the original packaging myself and they are perfect. 15x7 front, 15x8.5 rear. Nice Falken tires in rear. Could use new front tires though, they were used when I put them on, and they are not great. They cause a shake at freeway speeds. The shake was not there before putting those tires on. Although this car is not 100% restored yet, it is very presentable and it shows well at the local car show. It gets a lot of attention and makes a great conversation piece. I have put a lot of work into this car and its a lot of fun. Its actually quite popular in the 1st Gen Celica community. Theres not many V8 Celicas out there, here's your chance to have one at an excellent price. Please email me if you have any questions at all. The car is Located in Charleston, South Carolina and I have a clean title in hand. It is still on an Arizona Title as I just recently moved to South Carolina. Here is a short video clip on youtube of the car driving. http://youtu.be/S7sUaj8b6CA This video is to show that the car is fully drivable and to also give some insight into the rear end whine that can be heard in the beginning of the video. Thanks for looking. |

Final decision on Toyota/BMW sports car due by year end
Fri, Sep 18 2015BMW and Toyota signed a memorandum of understanding to share technology and build a sports car way back in 2012, and months later, they made that partnership official. This oft-rumored model from two auto industry titans still hasn't hit the road, and the time has come to make a final decision about its future. Thankfully, the model's fate is just a few months from being known. "By the end of the year we will approve whether or not we will make it," a Toyota spokesperson said about the sports car project, according to Automotive News Europe. "The whole study before that, on what kind of platform, on what kind of architecture, that's been progressing quite well. We haven't yet decided to give the green light to the project, but it's coming up." The collaboration is supposed to result in jointly developed fuel-cell tech, composites, and research into lithium-air batteries. Little is officially known about what Toyota and BMW are planning for the sports car project, but there are plenty of rumors about what's in store. Both automakers are supposed to get their own version of the vehicle. Some reports say the Japanese model will be the revival of the Supra, and the Bimmer-badged one might end up being a replacement for the Z4. The potential powertrains have been suggested as a German-sourced, turbocharged inline six with rear-wheel drive and a super-capacitor-powered plug-in hybrid with all-wheel drive.
Toyota will build new SUV at Alabama plant it's building with Mazda
Wed, Jul 10 2019WASHINGTON — Toyota Motor Corp said Wednesday it will build a new sport utility vehicle at its $1.6 billion joint venture assembly plant in Alabama rather than produce Corolla cars. The largest Japanese automaker announced in January 2018 it would build the factory in Alabama in a joint venture with Mazda. Toyota said the shift is due to "a growing consumer appetite for light trucks and SUVs." Mazda announced in February 2019 that it would build a new SUV at the plant. Toyota said it still expects the plan to start production in 2021. Construction remains on schedule, and hiring has begun. The plant could create up to 4,000 new jobs and build 300,000 vehicles annually. Corolla production will remain at Toyota's plant in Blue Springs, Miss.
Toyota inks deal as global Olympic sponsor
Sat, Mar 14 2015Toyota has just scored a sponsorship with one of the biggest events on the planet – the Olympic Games. The company announced its position as a member of the TOP (The Olympic Partner) program, which takes effect in Japan next year and globally in 2017. The deal is slated to run through 2024. That means, if we're understanding the deal correctly, that we won't see as much official Toyota sponsorship at next year's Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, while the company will enjoy a much more visible presence among American consumers at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Unsurprisingly, the automotive giant's sponsorship will be in the mobility category, covering "vehicles, mobility services and mobile solutions," the company's press release said. Fuel cells are expected to play a big role. "We will do everything possible to fulfill our new role in The Olympic Partner program, and justify the trust the IOC has placed in us. The addition of a mobility category to the TOP Partner field is an important recognition for our entire industry," Toyota president Akio Toyoda said in a statement. "Under this Olympic flag, let us today reaffirm the power of sports to bring people together. And let us dedicate ourselves to creating a better world by promoting sports in the Olympic spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play." "The IOC welcomes Toyota as a key partner for the provision of sustainable mobility solutions for the Olympic Games as outlined in Olympic Agenda 2020, our strategic roadmap for the future of the Olympic Movement," International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said. "Toyota is the world leader in its field, and this partnership signifies a strong commitment to the future of the IOC and the Olympic Movement. This is a milestone agreement in the implementation of Olympic Agenda 2020 because the focus of our cooperation is sustainable mobility, and Toyota will provide sustainable solutions for the entire Olympic Movement." Check out the official press release. Toyota Becomes IOC TOP Partner Tokyo, Japan, March 13, 2015-Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) today announced it has entered into a sponsorship agreement with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to become part of The Olympic Partner (TOP) program. The agreement runs through to the end of 2024 in the mobility category, which includes vehicles, mobility services and mobility solutions.
