Sadly the time has come to sell my beautiful 91 MR2 Turbo. She only has 89k original miles and was purchased in California. She has always been garaged and has been very well cared for. I'm hoping she will go to a good home and to someone who truly loves these rare cars.

I bought her last winter as a summer project but my priorities have changed and I am being forced to make a decision between selling my Z06 or MR2. The things you do for your future wife. haha.

As you can see from the pics she has crimson red paint and black interior. She also has t-tops that do not leak. I have multiple cars so my toys are never ever driven in the rain. The exterior is in fantastic condition with a few small scratches here and there (I can walk you through any imperfections over the phone). The only negative is a paintchip/crack on the rear engine bonnet. This part can be repaired or replaced with minimal cost as it is just the bonnet. The interior is in great shape as well. A few imperfections here and there but nothing out of the ordinary for a 91. I also have almost new original floor mats which will be included in the sale. I recently replaced the alternator and belt with new Denso parts less than 10 miles ago. She recently also had an oil change as well. Battery has been tested and is in perfect working order. She also has electric power steering.

Modifications include: Carbon Fiber front hood w/hood pins. 18" black wheels w/polished lip. HKS Boost gauge installed in stock boost location in the cluster. Racing seats offer great support over stock. Pioneer CD/MP3 player. HKS VPC. HKS Turbo Timer. HKS bov. UICP. Upgraded Turbo (Ill check the brand). K&N filter. Exhaust and Downpipe. Plugs/wires. AN braided SS fuel line. 550cc injectors. Supra fuel pump. I will add to the list if I forgot anything.

I would recommend the owner replace the tires. I would rather the new owner have their choice of tires as oppose to me picking a new set. There are a few things I am working on before the sale. She currently has a low idle which is adjustable using the HKS VPC. She also has a vacuum leak causing boost to build slow. I am hoping to correct these issues before the sale if possible. However if the new owner wants her as is I will gladly negotiate the price accordingly. She also could use a shift boot (I can procure a stock one if the new owner likes). Only other thing is that the AC belt has been removed. This has never been an issue for me but I must be upfront in my ad.

Other than above she is a fantastic car that needs very little to be perfect. She will also be well cleaned and detailed before sale as expected.

Clean and clear Michigan title and will be sold with 2 keys and any extra parts I have.

I am willing to negotiate with serious buyers. Please do not waste my time and I promise not to waste yours. I am open to reasonable offers.

If you have any questions please contact me on my cell. Please feel free to call anytime.

Thanks for your interest.

First live photos and impressions of Toyota's 2014 Corolla

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

After releasing official pictures and a press release about an hour earlier, Toyota chose an aircraft hanger at the Santa Monica airport as the venue for the global introduction of its highly anticipated 2014 Corolla. Following an extended aerial acrobat show, which included performers running along the walls, swimmers romping in a massive overhead clear plastic pool and angry dancers destroying their cardboard stage in a glittery fit... the all-new C-segment star of the show was lowered on cables from the ceiling. (After the strobe lights and pounding sound that preceded it, the final vehicle reveal was almost anticlimactic.)
Face-to-face with the eleventh-generation sedan, we liked what we saw. Compared to last year's Corolla, the new model appears smaller in person - yet that is mostly an optical illusion. By the tape, it is four inches longer and slightly wider than its predecessor, but a bit shorter. The wheelbase has been stretched nearly four inches, yet the front and rear overhangs only give or take about an inch in the conversion. With the exception of the enormous wheel/fender gap (the new Corolla seems to ride too high), its overall proportions are very pleasing.
The fresh styling is modern and stylish, with sculpted lines that add character to a formerly bland sedan

McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021

Tue, May 4 2021

Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.

Judge halts Toyota unintended acceleration cases, triggers time for settlement negotiations

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

So far, the lawsuits brought forth against Toyota for unintended acceleration have gone both ways: the automaker was found not at fault in a 2009 California crash and liable for a 2007 crash in Oklahoma. Both cases involved a Camry and resulted in fatalities. With a big chunk of these UA cases (around 200) set to his the docket of US District Judge James V. Selna in Santa Ana, California, Bloomberg is reporting that the judge has halted the lawsuits until March after Toyota and its lawyers have had extra time to try and settle the cases.
According to the article, Toyota is looking to take care of the cases out of court with an "intensive settlement process." Having already paid out $1.6 billion in "economic loss" suits, this latest settlement process is aimed at the wrongful death and personal injury cases allegedly associated with unintended acceleration. A hearing for the settlements will be held on January 14 with conferences on the matter commencing in February. There is no word as to when lawsuits may start back up if settlements can't be agreed upon.
