Lexus V6 Powered 1991 Mr2 Fully Restored on 2040-cars
Cleveland, Ohio, United States
|
This is a 1991 Toyota MR2 with a Six Cylinder Engine. Mechanically and visually restored. Mid-Engined, Rear wheel drive. The car has an estimated 75-100 TEST MILES ONLY SINCE BUILD COMPLETION. This car is Light and Fast. 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 Sony 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. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Japan supports hydrogen, Fools against fuel cells, BlueIndy controversy
Wed, Jun 25 2014Japan hopes to expand the use of hydrogen energy by subsidizing fuel cell vehicles, according to The Japan News. The trade ministry plans to include the subsidies in its 2015 budget to coincide with the expected launch of Toyota's Fuel Cell Vehicle and the Honda FCEV hydrogen car. By jump-starting purchases of hydrogen cars, Japan hopes that innovation and mass-production will get a boost and the cost of fuel cell vehicles will be competitive with gasoline-powered models by the year 2025. Japan plans to have 100 hydrogen fueling locations operating by March 2016, and wants to halve the cost of building those stations by 2020. The amount of the subsidies has not yet been set. Investing website The Motley Fool isn't quite as optimistic as Japan about hydrogen cars, and is instead bullish about Tesla Motors. The Fool points to Tesla's strong stock performance, and predicts future growth will come from more car models in the future - starting with the Model X - as well as the company's proposed Gigafactory for manufacturing batteries. If Tesla's charging technology continues to catch on, that only improves its financial prospects. The article has some harsh words, however, for hydrogen: "Fuel cells are an inferior automotive technology and for fundamental efficiency, cost, and infrastructure reasons always will be mere compliance gimmicks." Yeesh. As part of a program to build charging stations for the Indianapolis EV carsharing service BlueIndy, utility company Indianapolis Power & Light (IPL) wants to raise its electricity rates an average of 44 cents a month per residential customer to help pay for its share of the project. State consumer advocacy agency Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor and consumer watchdog group Citizens Action Coalition oppose the plan, according to Greenfield, Indiana's Daily Reporter. The BlueIndy program, which is a partnership between the city of Indianapolis and battery manufacturer Bollore Group, will provide up to 500 cars for rent at 25 charging sites around the city. Those who oppose the rate hike call IPL a monopoly and say the amount of the increase is not allowed under state law and that the program wouldn't benefit working class and low-income citizens. A hearing regarding IPL's proposal is scheduled for July 23. A Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV will run the 2014 Asia Cross Country Rally, Hybrid Cars reports. The rally covers 1,367 miles of woods, swamps and mountains from Thailand to Cambodia.
Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota HQ goes solar, CARB fights methane
Tue, Jun 7 2016Opel denies allegations about illegal emissions software as the German transport ministry begins its review. Opel has turned documents over to German authorities, and promises to hold a "constructive dialogue" while answering any lingering questions, says the automaker. Opel says that "the allegations reflect a wrong understanding of how diesel engines work." As German magazine Der Spiegel renewed questions about a cheat device similar to those used by Volkswagen, Opel reiterates, "We do not have any software that recognizes whether a vehicle is undergoing an exhaust emissions test." Read more at Automotive News Europe. South Korean President Park Geun-hye suggests that Seoul and Paris work together on the promotion of fuel cell technology. French industrial gases company Air Liquide manufactures liquid hydrogen, while Korean automaker Hyundai has already deployed its Tucson Fuel Cell crossover in select markets around the world. The two companies have signed a deal to cooperate on hydrogen technology. President Park visited an Air Liquide research center during a trip to Europe, where she said that a partnership between Hyundai and Air Liquide can help their countries stay ahead in the fuel cell vehicle market. Read more from Green Car Congress. CARB is proposing new rules for oil and gas facilities that would reduce methane emissions by more than 50 percent. The system, treatment, operation, and device standards would apply to onshore and offshore oil and gas production, storage, processing, and transmission facilities, covering procedures for leak detection and repair, equipment replacement, record keeping, and data reporting. "Methane emissions from the oil and gas industry contribute to California's [greenhouse gas] emissions and cost-effective reduction opportunities already exist and are available for use in the sector," CARB says. "In addition, reducing methane emissions from this sector will help slow the rate of climate change in the near-term and have an immediate beneficial impact on climate change." A hearing is scheduled for July 21 to discuss the proposal. Read more from SNL. Toyota's new Plano, Texas campus will get 25 percent of its energy from the sun. As Toyota plans to move into its new North American headquarters next year, it is building a 7.75-megawatt solar system to provide renewable energy for its operations. The solar arrays will be built atop three parking structures by the end of 2017.
Toyota mulling Cummins diesel for Tundra?
Mon, 02 Sep 2013When Bloomberg spoke to Toyota USA Sales CEO Kazua Ohara recently, we highlighted his comments on the possible return of the Toyota Supra. However, the interview started with Ohara discussing the Tundra, and how it would take time to pinpoint and hone the pickup truck's brand image in the minds of consumers. That effort could get a boost, with a report in Edmunds saying that Toyota is "evaluating" the addition of a Cummins turbodiesel to the Tundra's engine options.
The Cummins powerplant is one of two options for the moment, the other being a hybrid powertrain. If the oil-burner got the thumbs-up, Toyota would follow the recent example of Nissan, which announced it would put a Cummins turbodiesel into its 2015 Titan. While the two Japanese companies make a closer comparison since they're both talking about Cummins applications in light-duty trucks, if it happens, it could be seen as further diluting the once-exclusive tie-up that Ram trucks has had with Cummins even though Ram has used Cummins in its heavy-duty truck.
Toyota hasn't said when it will decide on which direction to take, but either will be a move for the better in the view of segment watchers; PickupTrucks.com said the first of its top-five fixes for the Tundra would be a better engine, perhaps a diesel-electric hybrid from Toyota's Hino unit. Cummins told Edmunds it can supply a second manufacturer with the 5.0-liter diesel that Nissan will be using, so we wouldn't be surprised to see it end up in a Toyota or somewhere else.
