Up for sale is my 1985 Toyota MR2. I originally purchased this car November 11,2012 as a project car. ** I originally listed this car in June but did not sell it, I have now done more work to the car and have decided to relist it... I have also included some new pictures that highlight the paint work and the new rotors and brake pads


Mechanically the car was in good shape but I wanted to go through it and replace items that I thought should be replaced. I purchased the car with 89,600 original miles.. This was a sentimental purchase as I had purchased an original 1985 MR2 the first year of production and wanted to buy another one almost 30 years later!!! I do find that it was easier to get in and out of 30 years ago, oh well, age sucks!!

I completed the following items:

1. Full tune up including plugs, wires, filters etc.
2. Replaced Timing belt and water pump, new coolant
3. Replaced Battery
4. Replaced the parking brake cables with OEM units, "very expensive"!! Had to do this to pass inspection.
5. Replaced OEM Sealed Beam headlights with Hella US DOT H4 units, so they are legal in the US.
6. I primed and resprayed the aluminum trim with special Dupli Color trim paint since the old paint had faded badly, I also painted the rear view mirrors with Krylon plastic paint as they had faded as well.
7. I have now had the A/C converted to R134 and recharged, blows ice cold now!!! 8/27/13
8. I  replaced the stock rotors with drilled and slotted units as well as replacing the brake pads with ceramic ones. 8/27/13

I then replaced the original wheels and tires with Drif Z wheels and 195/50ZR15 Falken ZiexZE912 Tires, currently have about 1000 miles on them
I then took the car to a body shop to have the rear quarters rebuilt and repainted. I actually had everything repainted with Toyota Super red except for the front hood, front fenders and top.. The paint matches perfectly as the painter I used is very meticulous. There was some rust but not extremely bad like other cars I have seen.I left the front fenders alone as they had been resprayed prior to me having the car. There is a slight rust spot on the lower front fender but it is surface rust so I left it alone. There is also some rust underneath the car on the right side floor board, nothing structural but the new owner may want to weld and patch this. I also installed an original rear spoiler that I had purchased, it was used and had to be completely reworked  and resprayed, it now looks perfect!! You can see from the pictures, this car is in great shape both visually and mechanically. The interior is near perfect, there is a small blemish on the vinyl radio surround which you can see in the picture. I replaced a couple of missing plastic rivets in the headliner and really can't find anything else wrong. Seats show very little wear and really are amazingly clean.Radio works fine but I really don't listen to it as I love the sound of the engine!! Car shifts and steers tight, the only thing I haven't done is replace the struts. They probably should be done due to age but aren't really giving any trouble. I have the receipts for the work that I have done, but the previous owner didn't. The previous owner was the original owner, so this is a two owner only car. It has a current Virginia state inspection, so everything checked out. This car has a clear VA. title, I will not accept bids from 0 feedback bidders so don't even bother. Please, serious buyers only, I hate playing games!! I have prided myself on quality listings and honest descriptions, I have tried to be as detailed as I can.  I am selling now as I am looking for another project car, I have had a couple before this and just enjoy buying fixing and re-selling.


FYI, Wheels and Tires were 1000.00

Paint and Bodywork was 1200.00
Tune up, water pump and Timing belt was 900.00
Headlight replacement 170.00
 A/C Recharge, Rotors and Pads 400.00

Japanese spark plug giant NGK pleads guilty to price fixing, to pay $52M fine

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

The ongoing investigation by the Department of Justice into price fixing in the automotive industry has nabbed one more company breaking the law. Japanese parts giant NGK Spark Plug Company agreed to plead guilty to a felony count of pricing fixing and bid rigging in the in the US District Court in Detroit. Its punishment is a $52.1 million criminal fine and to continue to cooperate with the DOJ's sleuthing into the problem.
According to the DOJ, NGK conspired to fix prices on spark plugs, standard oxygen sensors, and air fuel ratio sensors on vehicles from major automakers in the US, including the former DaimlerChrysler, Honda and Toyota, in a scheme that ran from at least January 2000 to July 2011. The charge claimed that the company and its co-conspirators held meetings where they agreed on bids and price quotes that were submitted to the automakers.
With the latest plea, the DOJ has caught 28 companies and 26 executives for price-fixing and bid rigging in the auto parts industry, and they have collected $2.4 billion in criminal fines. In 2013, the feds brought nine Japanese suppliers down at once, to collect $740 million. Scroll down to read the DOJ's complete announcement of the case.

2014 Toyota Highlander to start at $30,075*

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

We now have pricing for Toyota's redesigned 2014 Highlander, which is seeing moderate price hikes across the board. Prices for the popular crossover have been bumped from less than 1 percent to less than 3 percent on lower-end models (anywhere from $125 to $890, depending on trim). Toyota has increased prices on higher-end XLE and Limited models more substantially - between 4.1 and 4.5 percent ($1,480 to $1,700). The Highlander Hybrid sees its price increase 2 percent ($930). The new model will be available in four different trims and with either front or all-wheel drive.
The absolute cheapest member of the Highlander range, the base LE, with a four-cylinder and front-wheel drive starts at $30,075, an increase of just $195. The LE is also available with a V6 and all-wheel drive, with the bigger engine upping the price to $31,380. All-wheel drive models start at $32,840. A slightly pricier LE Plus starts at $33,600 for a V6 FWD model and $35,060 if you add all-wheel drive.
Next up, we have the XLE, which starts at $36,900 for FWD models and moves up to $38,360 for AWD. The top-tier Limited model starts at $40,500 in FWD spec, grips-at-all-fours versions will retail for $41,960. For those that want the very top of the Highlander range, there's the Platinum Pack, which adds the Driver's Tech Pack (adaptive cruise control, pre-collision warning, lane departure warning and automatic high beams), a panoramic moonroof, heated steering wheel and heated second-row seats to the already well-equipped Limited model. Highlander Platinums start at $42,990 and $44,450, depending on how many tires are doing the work. (Note: All prices include an $860 destination and handling charge.)
