Cleveland, Ohio, United States
|
This is a 1991 Toyota MR2 with a Six Cylinder Engine. Mechanically and visually restored. Mid-Engined, Rear wheel drive. RELISTED DUE TO THE TYPICAL NON PAYING BIDDER. If you don't leave a phone number, it's likely your bid will be cancelled. The car has an estimated 150-200 TEST MILES ONLY SINCE BUILD COMPLETION. This car is Light and Fast. May trade for NICE LOW MILE Foreign SUV. Runs perfectly and pulls like a freight train. Handles the Corners like it's on Rails. Practically everything is new on this Vehicle. The car started life as a four cylinder, rust free, clear title example. We have done five of these builds and have a website. The MR2 was never offered from the factory with a V6 Engine. This is a common transplant/update for power and performance. The torque of the V6 makes this car easy to drive and very quick. They will be shocked as you stomp on the pedal and pull away from most other cars. Awesome balance and handling that rivals European cars. The UK plate is not included. This car has a 3.0L V6 Engine from a Lexus ES300 donor vehicle. The engine has 86,000 miles on it and for these engines- this is nothing. They run into the 300's. The engine was fully serviced while on the stand with NEW: plugs, wires, injectors, water pump, timing belt, fully re-gasketed and detailed engine, all filters, belts & hoses replaced. The Vehicle has Brand New subtle and tasteful body modifications with a Base / Clear urethane high gloss black paint job. Properly and professionally installed, de badged and painted. New lights everywhere, Blue Halos that have a strobe effect as well as standard bright white. Perfectly aligned Flip up Headlights, tail lights, an upgraded center panel- All New. New Seats, Sound System, Steering wheel and fresh Dark Window Tint, for that "Murdered out" look. The Car has a one of a kind CLEAR ENGINE COVER modeled after the Ferrari 360 Modena. It's made of 12mm Crystal Clear Lexan. The car will also come with a factory engine cover from a Turbo car. I had one freshly painted at the same time as the car, so the new buyer could hide his giant V6, although I have no idea why you'd want to. Also one of a kind- There are no others like them in the entire world, the carbon fiber engine cover that came from a Ferrari replica builder in Ireland and the "only one like it" Custom Rear Strut Brace. The Vehicle has a NEW Custom Clutch assembly capable of holding 600 HP. It's just in case you want to Turbo this car. This clutch will hold it. All four corners have brand new, 2014 17" ENKEI KOJIN rims, 2014 Federal 595 EVO speed rated tires, drilled and slotted rotors & ceramic low dust disc brakes. The car has brand new TEIN Lowering springs in the front, The rears are stock, but included with the car are the rear TEIN Lowering springs in case you want to slam it. We like the back end a touch higher, old school guys. The car has a Brand New Upsized Three Core Radiator, TWO 12" electric fans and a new fan sensor, to keep the car cool. It was 95 here recently and during the test travels- it remained a perfect running temperature. The car has a custom MAGNAFLOW exhaust system that when you're hard on the throttle, it sounds like no other. Not like the large "fart cans" the kids use- this sounds classy, mean and exotic. The car has a New PIONEER Touch Screen sound system and it easily accepts any USB device. Four New speakers, not a "booming" sound system, but nice. It has a back up camera also included. A brand new iPod Shuffle is also included with the car, in case you want to leave your tunes in the car. These are fun little touches that we had built into the car. The complete interior is either replaced, restored or reconditioned. It's a nice place to be. It's clean and modernized. You could fly here and drive this car back across the country if you wanted to. This is one of five cars we have restored like this and this is the best one yet. Cash Offers Accepted. Serious buyers only- email me your phone number and I will call you personally. This is one mean little car. May trade for NICE LOW MILE Foreign SUV |

Recharge Wrap-up: Mazda, Subaru and Toyota PHEV, Nomadic Power grant
Sat, Jun 20 2015The next generation of the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid looks to be important for Mazda and Subaru as well. Toyota will likely need to sell more of the new plug-in hybrid to meet stricter ZEV standards in California. That means it will get more extra electric range, as customers have been asking for. Subaru and Mazda will also have to adhere to the California standards beginning in 2018. Those two smaller automakers will likely license a plug-in hybrid powertrain from Toyota in order to fulfill compliance. Read more at Green Car Reports. Tesla is partnering with Dalhousie University to improve battery technology. Tesla signed a five-year research agreement with Dalhousie's Jeff Dahn, a lithium-ion battery researcher. Dahn and the 25 researchers in his lab will work with Tesla's Director of Battery Technology, Kurt Kelty, to increase capacity through improved materials. The collaboration could be important both for Tesla's automotive and stationary batteries. "Our research group's goal is to increase the energy density and lifetime of Li-ion batteries, so we can drive down costs in automotive and grid energy storage applications," says Dahn. Read more from Dalhousie University. Nomadic Power is receiving a European Commission grant worth ˆ2 million (about $2.26 million) for trailer-mounted mobile batteries. Nomadic Power's mobile batteries, called Nomads, have incorporated photovoltaic systems and can be used to extend the electric driving range of a plug-in vehicle, or to provide backup power to a home. The Nomads use an intelligent energy management system to learn and predict user behavior and manage the solar system based on weather forecasts. "We see a strong future in electric-powered mobility and an increasing use of renewable energy, photovoltaic power in particular," says Nomadic Power CEO Dr. Manfred Baumgaertner. "Our mobile batteries have great potential in these markets that recently got a significant shot in the arm by Tesla's announcements." Read more from Nomadic Power, and at Green Car Congress.

2015 24 Hours of Le Mans live race report
Sat, Jun 13 2015Check back regularly for more race updates every few hours. No, you don't need to stay up for the entire 24 Hours of Le Mans, but if you want to catch any of the action, Autoblog friend Reilly Brennan has a handy guide. And to keep you up to speed on the latest race events, we'll be posting live from Le Mans with regular race reports.Hour 1: Five laps in, Audi breaks up the three Porsches at the front, with the #19 919 Hybrid, driven by Nico Hulkenburg, passed by all three R18s. Hulkenburg eventually took back fifth position only to fall back again after the first pit stop. Meanwhile, clutch trouble kept the #23 Nissan GTR-LM in the pits until 15 minutes into the race. The other two Nissans were forced to start at the back of the grid after failing to the meet the 110 percent qualifying speed regulation. At the end of the first hour, just 7.5 seconds separated the first six cars. Then the factory team #92 Porsche GTE car caught fire, with the the #13 Rebellion P1 car taking frontal damage in the ensuing carnage. With the safety car out, the field is once again bunched up.Hour 2: The slugfest between Audi and Porsche continues, with neither side backing off. Halfway through the second hour the #7 R18 passes both leading Porsches for the top position. After another round of pits stops Porsche regains the lead until lap 30, when the Audi overtake once again and quickly pulls out a three-second gap. Nico Hulkenburg passes the other two Audis to join his Porsche teammates. At the beginning of the third hour it's Audi #7, Porsche #17, #18, and #19, followed by Audi #8 and #9. 33 seconds separates this group, with Toyota a minute back from the front car.Hour 3: On track the action refuses to stop. Although it's early, Audi is looking strong with the overall lead in the #7. What's more is that the Audis run four stints per set of tires, while the Porsche cars have to change rubber every third stop. But after a quick refueling, the lead R18 gets a tire puncture and comes back in 3 laps later, allowing Porsche to take over the top two spots. Then as the hour closes out a yellow flag causes traffic to bunch up and the #8 Audi gets stuck with nowhere to slow down. Driver Loic Duval dives for the side of the road but hits the guard rail and careens across the track, damaging the front and rear bodywork. The rest of the car is still intact, though, and once in the pits Audi replaces the entire front and rear of that in only three minutes.
Toyota launches updated Yaris in Europe, Vitz in Japan [w/videos]
Wed, 23 Apr 2014Toyota first launched the Yaris in 1999, though that model was sold in the North America as the Echo. The second generation arrived in 2005, replaced by the third in 2011. Sometime next year, Toyota is expected to roll out a new Yaris for North America, to be built in Mexico on the same platform as the next Mazda2. But before that comes to pass, Toyota has introduced a mild facelift for the Yaris in markets other than ours.
With styling cues borrowed from the new Aygo and the Yaris Hybrid-R concept, the new Yaris (for Europe) and Vitz (for Japan) are distinguished by updated styling front and rear. Though the European model bears a more aggressive look than the JDM version, both feature the new X motif that seems to be the new look for the whole family - particularly for small hatchbacks.
The back end has also been revised to incorporate new LED taillights and a (faux) diffuser in the bumper. The cabin, meanwhile, has been redesigned to feel roomier and quieter with upgraded equipment. The suspension has also been refined, and in Europe at least, Toyota will continue to offer the Yaris with a choice of 1.0- or 1.3-liter gasoline engines, 1.4-liter diesel or hybrid powertrains.
