1980 Toyota
Celica Gt lift back (RA42L) You are
viewing a highly customized Celica GT with 131,000 original miles. I am a
Toyota Factory certified Master Technician and ASE certified master technician
with over 30 years of professionally working on Toyota products. This car
originally belonged to my Mother. When she gave me the car in 2000, I proceeded
to replace the 20R carbureted motor with a 22RE fuel injected motor and the
complete fuel injection system from a 1984 Celica. The
installation looks like it came from the factory! I even moved the battery from
the right side to the left side! I took the original
wiring harness and the fuel injected donor vehicle’s harness completely apart
and made one harness using only the factory wires, terminals and connectors. I even fabricated two fuse & relay blocks. I replaced
the three speed automatic with a four speed overdrive automatic transmission. I had the
car repainted and re-upholstered. I installed custom clear headlights and
lenses front and rear. The car also
has custom air brushing on the hood, spoiler and 1/4 panels I swapped in
the 1981 three piece radio. I hunted
junkyards for a year to find the factory 1981 Supra spoiler and the black glass B-piller trims and the 1981 spare
tire wood cover. The car has a full sized spare tire. I replaced the 14 inch steel wheels with the 15 inch alloys with Bridgestone Potenzas 195/60 R15 This vehicle
has been taken to a California Bureau of Auto Repair referee station and issued
a smog system compliance label. It smogs every 2 years as a 1984 Celica. It has
current registration in my name Manual
sunroof works great. I just put a
brand new battery in! **Known Defects** There are approximately 12 paint chips in the left and right doors and fenders. The A/C was converted to R134a, but is currently empty. The engine leaks a little oil. The radio buzzes on one speaker. And the tires are worn to 5/32". This car is
super reliable and can be used as a daily driver or entered in car shows. Why am I
selling her? Hey gotta get on to the next project…I’m envisioning a V-6 SW MR2 |

Toyota Matrix not long for this world?
Thu, 18 Apr 2013According to a report from AutoGuide, Toyota doesn't have plans to replace the aging Matrix hatchback in the United States after this year. If true, the timing coincides with the replacement for the Corolla, on which the Matrix is based, with that car slated to get its first complete redesign since 2006 (2008 in the US market).
We'd love to tell you how many Matrix models were sold by Toyota in the United States last year, but the automaker chooses to bundle Matrix sales with Corolla sales, so we have no idea. That said, we have to assume sales of the hatchback don't contribute much overall to the total number of Corolla-based machines.
We're also unsure if Toyota will choose to exit the youth-oriented compact hatchback market entirely, or if the automaker will rely instead on its hybrid Prius line and Scion models like the xB and xD.
Couple survives 50-foot fall from overpass in Toyota
Tue, 11 Feb 2014It doesn't matter the make or model - modern vehicles are technological miracles when it comes to occupant protection. Take this story out of New York City, which involved two people going for a very wild ride in a Toyota Matrix.
Carlos and Raquel Broadbelt were on the Cross Bronx Expressway overpass when they hit a patch of ice while dodging a pothole, sending them hurtling into a guardrail and over the side of the overpass. They fell 50 feet onto the road below. Despite the catastrophic accident - and the mangled Toyota - both driver and passenger walked away. The couple spent a night in the hospital just for observation.
The Broadbelts' miraculous survival has even surprised doctors, who told Dave Carlin from CBS New York they'd never seen an accident like it. Take a look below for the full news report from CBS New York.

Tue, 30 Jul 2013Raising A White Flag To The Competition
We all benefit from highly competitive battles. In the automotive sector, few campaigns are so closely fought as the decades-long struggle for supremacy in the fullsize half-ton pickup truck segment. The Ford F-150 has dominated for ages, but Chevrolet, Ram and GMC have been closing the gap with freshly redesigned trucks that are rocking the industry.
Today's half-ton trucks are better than they've ever been, and we have fierce competition to thank for that.
