1989 Mr2 Mk1.5-The only one like it in the whole world:  This was a complete restoration from top to bottom.  I have owned this car for over 12 years.  It has been transformed into a weekend/track warrior.  A majority of the modification were completed over last winter.  The car has not been driven on the track since and only a few times on the street.  My bad back forces the sale.  All of the modification were completed by Yoshio Kishimoto (japanese-auto.com) a factory trained toyota master mechanic.  This is not chop shop rebuild.  It was completed with taste and looks like it just came out of the factory.  The following mods were completed on the car:

1.  Body:  New paint with crystal glass protection top coat, new fender flares, all windows and interior were removed during the process, and new carbon fibre rear wing.

2.  Interior:  New sparco seats, new Yoshio roll bar, new OMP race quick release steering wheel,  custom pedals, trd short shifter with que ball shift knob, 5 point race harness, and blitz boost controller.

3.  Drivetrain:  New jdm 3sgte turbo engine, custom intake, custom intercooler using the supercharger intake to keep a stock look, new bully clutch, new Kaaz 2 way limited slip, new custom drive shafts, berk down pipe, turbo blanket, New Supra tenzo injectors and fuel pump, new 4 core rad with new piping, New AMR custom sprung coilover suspension system, new suspension techniques front/rear swaybars, new custom exhaust with 4" stainless steel muffler, new willwood/Hawk larger brakes with bias valve, and new 15x8.25 XXR wheels with New Toyo 888, 205/50/15 fronts and 235/50/15 rears.

4. Data:  Dyno rwhp @ 285 with 18lbs of boost.

This is a unique one and only build that is an amazing driving experience.  Over $50,000.00 has gone into this build.  It is sitting in my warehouse waiting for it's proud new owner to drive her away.

Toyota must go to trial over unintended acceleration suits

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

Toyota is surely readying its trial lawyers, as the Japanese giant is officially headed to court in a pair of cases relating to its unintended acceleration fiascos of 2009 and 2010.
In the first case, the United States Supreme Court has actually got involved in matters, ignoring an appeal from Toyota that attempted to use an arbitrator to settle its California lawsuits. The automaker will now go to trial to face owners of 2010 Prius models over an alleged defect with the anti-lock braking systems, which plaintiffs say made the cars more difficult to stop, according to Bloomberg.
The second trial is a bit more in depth, covering the case of Ida St. John, an 83-year-old from Georgia, that crashed her 2005 Camry in 2009. The accident is believed to have played a part in her death, although the suit, being filed by her grandson, doesn't actually place blame on Toyota for her death.

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna.  Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.

Consumer Reports calls on Toyota to recall older Camry Hybrid models

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

Consumer Reports is calling on Toyota to issue an official recall of 178,000 Camry Hybrid sedans from model years 2007 to 2011, claiming that a pair of issues affecting the brakes are so dire they demand a more official action than what the company has undertaken so far.
The first issue, as CR tells it, relates to a clog in the brake-fluid reservoir filter, which if left untreated could lead to a number of dashboard warning lights. The "front brake assist could be temporarily lost," too, according to Toyota's own notice to dealers and owners of affected models. The company has issued a "service campaign" that will fit a new brake-fluid reservoir free of charge to any affected model brought to a dealer by June 30, 2017.
The other issue plaguing the fuel-sipping Camrys is being treated via a warranty extension, and focuses on the ABS brake actuator, a particularly expensive (both in terms of parts, at $1,000, and labor, around $3,000) item that is necessary for the anti-lock braking to function. There's also a related issue with the brake pedal's "stroke sensor," which like the actuator can lead to a very difficult-to-depress brake pedal. The warranty extension increases the coverage of the actuator to 10 years or 150,000 miles (whichever comes first).
