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 found not at fault in alleged unintended acceleration crash

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

Toyota has already paid out millions and billions of dollars in settlements surrounding unintended acceleration, but the first lawsuit in the matter, which headed to a California court in July, has reached a verdict. Following the 2009 death of Noriko Uno, whose 2006 Camry was hit by another car and then sped out of control before crashing into a tree, the jury found that Toyota was not at fault in the crash.
Even though the 2006 Camry (shown above) wasn't involved in any of the unintended acceleration-related recalls and it was not equipped with a brake override, Automotive News reports that the jury's verdict says there was no defect in the car and actually blames the entire incident on the driver that ran into Uno's car - to the tune of $10 million. The accident started when the other driver ran a stop sign and hit Uno's car, and the report says that medical conditions (including diabetes) caused Uno to fail to stop her Camry.
The AN article also states that this lawsuit was a bellwether case for around 85 other personal-injury and wrongful-death suits against Toyota, but there are still many impending suits across the country. Scroll down for an official statement on this particular case from Toyota.

Toyota will steer clear of driverless cars

Thu, 04 Sep 2014

Toyota executives say the company's primary focus is on safety. At least for the time being, that means the company won't pursue development of a driverless car.
Speaking at the company's advanced safety seminar in Ypsilanti, MI, Thursday morning, Seigo Kuzumaki, Toyota's deputy chief safety technology officer, said that Toyota envisions a future driving environment that optimizes the best of both humans and computers, not choosing one over the other.
"Toyota's main objective is safety, so it will not be developing a driverless car." - Seigo Kuzumaki
