1989 Toyota Supra Turbo Gt3582r With Supporting Mods on 2040-cars
Ruskin, Florida, United States
I have owned this car for over 10 years and have modified the engine and drive train to make it more fun to drive. The body is straight with only a couple of dings, and the interior is in exceptional condition with the piping on the drivers seat being the only upholstery problem. The Dash has a crack in front of the speedometer cluster, and one crack in driver arm rest.
I rebuilt the engine when I purchased it about 50,000 miles ago and used ross forged pistons, ACL bearings, and a Cometic 2.o mm head gasket with ARP head bolts. It had a to4B turbo on it when I bought it, which made 425 rwhp after a bit of tuning and supporting modifications including;
Aeromotive FPR
Stainless tubular exhaust manifold
RC 550cc injectors
Tial Blow off Valve and wastegate
Walbro 255lph fuel pump wired independently of harness
GReddy Profec B spec II Boost Controller
SAFC-2 air/fuel control piggyback
Innovate LM-1 Wideband a/f meter
Custom intercooler piping
Cartech FMIC
Lexus AFM
Tanabe Hyper Medallion exhaust system
RPS 3200# clutch
Fidanza aluminum flywheel
Eibach Sport lowering springs
Tokico illumina TEMS compatible shocks
Supra MKiv TT wheels with very low mileage Firehawk wide ovals 245/45/x17 on front and Nitto 555 285/40x17 on rear
I have since that time added a genuine garret G3582r BB turbo to improve performance and driveability. Having a wideband allows one to adjust fuel on the fly and I have not gotten a dyno run since the new turbo about 3 years ago.
It has the usual old car miscellaneous minor leaks, but has been a daily driver for years. Non smoking car with icy cold A/C.
Not a car for someone without mechanical aptitude and ability, but a great car if you feel the need for speed.
I am now retired and Just don't have the inclination or energy to play with this one anymore.

Toyota's Psy-style Waku-Doki ad inherits Japan's bizarre ad crown
Tue, 29 Jul 2014A new Japanese Toyota ad featuring crisply suited businessmen driving into the jungle only to segue into a Psy-style music-video dance-off with a gorilla and natives is the latest car commercial to go viral. Jungle Wakudoki is the newest installment in a grand tradition of bizarre ads from the island nation that are by turns hilarious, head-scratching and occasionally even frightening.
Let's face it: My people are weird.
I'm half-Japanese and take suitable pride in my Asian roots, but even I can't figure out what's been slipped into the water coolers of the country's ad agencies much of the time - or the nation at large, for that matter. From Japan's ubiquitous obsession with all things adorable (kawaii) to its offbeat sense of humor and its bizarrely perverse and violent tentacle porn, it's clear there's a lot going on in the culture, and only some of it bubbles up to the surface in its marketing efforts. Much of the strangest and most amazing ads are for non-transportation products (e.g. laundry soap, snacks, energy drinks), but the automotive space has its fair share. This latest Toyota ad had me trawling YouTube for a common theme, trying to make sense of why these spots are the way they are. Scroll down to watch the Toyota ad in question as well as a bunch of other examples of Japan's most bizarre car-related ads and see if you can't find the thread that runs between them. Is it just that something's being lost in translation? Have your say in Comments.
GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
Toyota, Lexus expanding Takata airbag recall, re-notifying customers
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Toyota is re-notifying owners and expanding its Takata airbag inflator recall for some regions. The renewed campaign covers 247,000 examples of the Toyota Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia, Tundra and Lexus SC430 that are located in southern Florida, along the Gulf Coast, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa. All of the models come from the 2001-2004 model years and have potentially faulty Takata-made inflators on the front passenger side. According to the company, testing shows the problem warrants "immediate action," and its press release says, "this action intensifies Toyota's efforts to reach customers and remedy previously recalled vehicles, and a small number of newly included vehicles."
According to Toyota, it submitted some recalled inflators to Takata for testing, and it found a high probability of rupturing in high humidity areas. The automaker said it had no reports yet of injuries or fatalities related to the problem.
This is Toyota's third inflator recall this year. In June, it called in for repair the same vehicles from the 2003-2005 model years in high-humidity areas, and it conducted a separate campaign nationwide for the parts in additional models. In April 2013, it also announced a fix campaign for 1.73-million vehicles worldwide for the same issue.
