Very Rare Toyota Mr2 Supercharged (factory Oem Aw11 First Gen 4agz-e on 2040-cars
Chula Vista, California, United States
|
Up for your consideration is a rare model produced and manufactured by Toyota.
A beloved MR2 with factory Supercharged motor! Only 210,000 original miles. 3 owners since new! Automatic transmission Working A/C Fair paint but it is red and as you know red fades so this was a repaint along the way before it arrived in my hands. Still very presentable, mint it is not. Interior is lovely and heavy velour fabric was used. Dash does have cracks in it which most MR2's of this era were prone too. Carpet is torn, completely usable but again, depending on how mint you want it would need replacing. All tires are about a year old and have 80% tread left. Warranty from Discount tire is valid. Front strut cartridges where replaced recently with new KYB ones but still have some clunks when hitting a pothole. Possible bushings need replacing in the suspension. Again typical. Radiator has been rodded ad cleaned with a complete cooling system flush. Only done as a preventative measure and the car has never been overheated. Distributor has been R&R within two years. The 4AGZ-E motor sounds and performs healthy. There are some minor leaks. I do not know from where as it could be any number of places. If you are familiar with MR2's than you know this is par for the course. Typical. Keep in mind the car is close to 26 years old and is not a new vehicle. it will have minor stuff that need tending too but still drives great! The power to weight ratio is great and a hoot to drive. Very Go-Kart like. Speedy Gonzalez as it like to be called can roll with the best of them, especially in turns. A low stance and great suspension really serves the driver looking to have fun in the twisties or at your next autocross event. All electrical works but at this time the alternator has given up the ghost so it will need replacing before said fun can be had. A fresh battery is also needed. With a new battery it will start and drive but not very far before the battery goes dead. Again, alternator. About a $100 and two hours labor. It has T-tops but missing the inside covers. I have tinted all windows to cut down on sun glare and protect the interior from fading. A/C works great. The blower could be stronger but it is what it is. No power steering. Great steering radius. Currently registered till JULY and has Arizona Plates and clear Arizona Title. This is a modern classic and gaining value over time. Only 1 in 10 cars sold were Supercharged. With a little work than can be a true looker and collectors piece. Car is currently located in San Diego and if your in the area inspections are welcomed. If transporting out of state I can assist but ultimately it is buyers responsibility to have the car paid in full as well as finding transport company. You are the expert and no warranties are given and implied. As-is where is. Also as a side note, antenna motor broken so does not go up and down. Drivers side window switch broken. Window does not go up or down. No power locks. |

Couple survives 50-foot fall from overpass in Toyota
Tue, 11 Feb 2014It doesn't matter the make or model - modern vehicles are technological miracles when it comes to occupant protection. Take this story out of New York City, which involved two people going for a very wild ride in a Toyota Matrix.
Carlos and Raquel Broadbelt were on the Cross Bronx Expressway overpass when they hit a patch of ice while dodging a pothole, sending them hurtling into a guardrail and over the side of the overpass. They fell 50 feet onto the road below. Despite the catastrophic accident - and the mangled Toyota - both driver and passenger walked away. The couple spent a night in the hospital just for observation.
The Broadbelts' miraculous survival has even surprised doctors, who told Dave Carlin from CBS New York they'd never seen an accident like it. Take a look below for the full news report from CBS New York.
This 1,000-horsepower, rear-drive Toyota Corolla iM could be yours
Tue, Feb 19 2019We were amazed last year when we learned that Papadakis Racing built Fredric Aasbo a rear-drive, 1,000-horsepower 2017 Toyota Corolla iM for drifting. Now we're amazed that the car could end up in the hands of an average person, because the car is currently going for auction on Bring A Trailer. Just as a quick recap for those that might have missed hearing about the car last year, the little Toyota hatch features a turbocharged and nitrous-injected 2.7-liter 2AR-series Toyota four-cylinder. Variants of that engine are found in older Toyota RAV4s and Camrys. According to Bring A Trailer, the engine hits 1,000 horsepower and 850 pound-feet of torque when running on E85. Power goes through a four-speed dog box manual transmission to the rear wheels. Now there is the question of what you would do with such a mad machine. One possibility is to run it again in the Formula Drift series the car was built for. Bring A Trailer reports that it should be legal for the 2019 season, and with extra parts and wheels, you would be in a good spot to get started. The seller does note that all the graphics and sponsor decals would have to be removed if it's entered again. Even if you didn't run it in a professional drift series, it would probably be a fun car to use in more grassroots drift events or even just as a track car of some sort. There's also one more potential option that would be totally absurd. You see, it appears Papdakis Racing started with a factory-built, street legal Corolla iM that could have easily gone on to see a life of ferrying a young couple or family around in efficient, affordable style. As such, it should have a VIN that could be used to register and insure the car without too much trouble. It even still has functional lights. As long as you're in a state that doesn't have modification or emissions restrictions, it could be possible to make this a street car. Now we're not positive on this, so do your due diligence before plunking down cash for it, but it does seem possible, and it would be crazy and awesome. Related Video:
HQ move based on study, not pitch from Gov. Perry, Toyota says
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Toyota's surprising announcement on Monday that it will move its North American headquarters from Torrance, CA location to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX is allegedly not due to any political wrangling from the state's Republican governor, Rick Perry.
Perry (above) has been up front in his aggressive pursuit of businesses and jobs for Texas, traveling to California, Missouri, Illinois and New York to tempt corporations to his state. And it's not just about the promise of much lower taxes, a Perry spokesman reminds Automotive News that the state boasts, "a workforce that is skilled and ready to do any job."
For his part, Jim Lentz, Toyota's North American CEO said Plano was chosen through an internal process, with the location helped by its proximity to the company's massive pickup factory in San Antonio rather than any campaigning from the governor.
