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.

Toyota Camry lineup gets interior and tech updates one year in

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When it debuted last year, the Toyota Camry came in for some criticism over its interior, most centered on material choices - both in quality (not enough) and variety (too much). Thus, Toyota has responded after just one model year, updating both materials and features on its gas-powered and hybrid family sedans for 2013.
The LE version appeared to get the lion's share of the improvements. Specifically, the LE is getting "soft-touch" door materials as well as armrests that match the rest of the interior color (instead of being black). The LE model also gets Toyota's six-inch display screen that helps folks get a better gander at the car's energy usage and fuel economy, among other things. Other changes include adding cross-traffic alert for models equipped with blind spot monitoring
Toyota introduced its latest version of the Camry and Camry Hybrid in the fall of 2011 as a 2012 model. Sales have been solid, and in particular, the Camry Hybrid has improved its fortunes, bumping its US sales almost fivefold to more than 45,000 units. So far in 2013, the latter has carried over much of that momentum, boosting January 2013 sales from a year earlier by 81 percent to 3,826 units.

Toyota: One Bold Choice

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Toyota paired paralympian Amy Purdy and the incomparable words of Muhammad Ali in its 2015 Super Bowl spot, How Great I Am. Interspersing cuts of Purdy triumphing over her disability with images of the new-for-2015 Camry, Toyota tied its ad in with the simple hastag, #OneBoldChoice. That said, we aren't sure how this spot will play for those who aren't familiar with Purdy's triumphant story. We've already sampled the refreshed Camry in a lengthy and comprehensive review, so head over and have a look.

2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro priced from $41,285*

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Just a few weeks after announcing pricing for the first two members of its TRD Pro Series, Toyota has finally dropped the final pricing details on its new Tundra TRD Pro. Like the Tacoma TRD Pro, the Tundra will be available in two different body styles, with a more affordable Double Cab and a roomier Crew Cab.
Prices start at $41,285 for the former and $43,900 for the latter - not counting a hefty $1,100 destination charge - effectively slotting Toyota's off-road-ready model between the $41,730, Double Cab Limited and $46,465, Crew Cab-only 1794 Edition trucks.
As we've covered previously, the TRD Pro models come with a raft of off-road gear that should help combat just about any terrain a driver may stumble across. TRD-tuned Bilstein shocks and TRD-tuned front springs add two inches to the big truck's ride height while the black, 18-inch TRD wheels and available Inferno Orange paint add a bit of visual sass. A new TRD dual exhaust system is also standard, which can confirm sounds great (review coming soon!).
