Here's your chance to own an adult driven, unmolested and pampered Supra; that is, it has not been put to the pavement with aftermarket performance accessories.  I believe this to be a 3-owner car. The 2nd owner, a fellow professional chemical engineer, purchased the car in 1997 and sold it to me in 2003 and I have owned it ever since. This cars' purpose was to be a get-away weekend cruiser for me and my wife which is why I bought a N/A (naturally aspirated) model rather than the pricey turbo model.

The car is factory original; all I added was an OEM spoiler from a factory supra, aftermarket wheels and 1" lowered front springs.  I reupholstered the front seats approximately 8 yrs ago which are in 10 of 10 condition as we speak.  The rear seat and the rest of the interior is factory original and is in excellent condition.  The front license plate holes have never been drilled which is a plus.  In the last month I had the car professionally mobile detailed: clay bar, machine buffed, hand wax, shampooed carpet, leather conditioner, engine bay, etc etc.  AC blows cold and replaced AC clutch approx 1,500 miles ago. Front windshield is chip and crack free.  It sits on NS Racing wheels with 8.5" fronts and 9.5" rears with brand new MAXXIS tires with less than 200 miles.  I purchased the car with 131,492 miles June 30, 2003 and exactly 11 years later it reads 135,532.  However, the odometer has exceeded its mechanical limits and I have noticed it works sporadically.  A mechanic ran the codes resulting in a  "speed sensor" and EGR valve notification.  I have replaced the EGR valve and have spent ZERO seconds researching the speed sensor and how to fix it as I'm not that concerned about it.  In all honesty the car has been driven approximately 6,000 miles since purchased in 2003 with only 6-700 miles of that coming in the last 5 years.  It has been garage kept and covered most of the time I've owned it.  I recently bled the entire brake system to correct a spongy pedal (due to air in the system from sitting) and now works like new.  It has all the original VIN tag stickers on all the body panels.  Radiator just flushed and new coolant added.  Differential oil was replaced a few years back.  Good news: NO white exhaust smoke on start up (white exhaust smoke is common for Supras indicating worn valve stem o-rings).  

Needs:  The antenna broke when left up at a car wash.  I have another complete OEM antenna and motor that will be included in the purchase for installation.  The rear hatch struts have lost their compression so the hatch will not stay up unless held.  The front speaker foam surround has dry rotted.  Paint is flaking in small area around front hood emblem and under left headlight.  One small rust spot above right rear tire where window rubber meets the hatchback glass surround.  Car is pretty much dent and door ding free.

I just completed a home construction expansion and this is my ticket to help paying myself back.  I guarantee the car description to be exactly as stated above listing all positives and negatives of which I am aware. This car also qualifies as a Classic car through Hagerty which my insurance only runs couple hundred year as long as not a primary driven vehicle.  I will store the car at no charge to allow buyer to arrange for pickup if paid in full.  Title is in my name free and clear.  Anything I missed or more questions don't hesitate to contact me...281-865-2262. -James

A new Toyota MR2? We want to believe

Thu, Mar 9 2017

In the wake of a busy Geneva auto show, the rumor mill is churning, and the latest grist involves one of the most beloved Toyota sports cars of all time. EVO reports that Tetsuya Tada, the chief of the Scion FR-S/Toyota 86 project and a hard-liner about sportscar priorities (light and nimble, but with modest horsepower), wants a third vehicle for Toyota's nascent sporty lineup. Currently, we know there's a Supra-like vehicle in the works, being co-developed with BMW, and the 86 is sticking around. Tada said he'd like a third sportscar to compliment the two we know about, and that he wants it soon. A quick bit of history: Toyota's classic sporty lineup had three components. The most visible was the Supra, whose power and prestige grew as the car evolved from a cushy personal tourer to a high-horsepower, high-technology icon. The Celica was its Clark Kent, more mild mannered but also more accessible and affordable. The third was the MR2, a mid-engined go-kart that lasted for three distinct generations. Each had its charms, and all have their fans. When Tada says that he wants three sportscars in the lineup, we already know about the Supra successor, and the 86 is already filling the Celica's role, so the blank is easy to fill. It doesn't sound like Tada spoke the word "MR2" to EVO, or hinted that the car would be mid-engined, but Tada doesn't seem to say anything without purpose. Whatever the layout, this third car – if it comes to fruition – will probably play a role similar to the MR2 in relation to its stablemates. To translate: it'll likely be even lighter and more nimble, and probably less powerful, than the 86. The closest real-world analogue to the pure MR2 ideal is the Honda S660, a mid-engined Kei roadster that's on sale in Japan right now. It's light, small, and powered by a 0.66-liter inline-three. Toyota could decide to directly compete with the S660, borrow an engine from its small-car specialist subsidiary Daihatsu, and produce a mid-engined MR2. Another possibility, even simpler from Toyota's perspective, would be to adapt the existing Daihatsu Copen roadster. Sure, it's front-engine and front-wheel drive, but it's a small, light roadster. And even better, it sells abroad with a larger 1.3-liter engine. Restyle it slightly, perhaps to resemble the S-FR concept of a couple years ago, and it's an off-the-shelf solution. The S-FR itself is a third possibility.

Customers want wireless charging in next-gen Prius Plug-In; they might get it

Tue, Jul 8 2014

Could 2016 be the year prospective Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid buyers are waiting for? Why, yes, says an unidentified Toyota spokesman. That's according to Plug-in Cars, which reports that a wireless plug-in vehicle charging system may be less than two years away for the Prius Plug-in. WiTricity has, for a few years, been developing its magnetic resonance wireless charging system for the model. This type of system allows for more distance leeway than other wireless setups when it comes to how close the car and its on-board receiver need to be to the floor-mounted system. That allows for smaller, lighter on-board receivers, which is key for any plug-in vehicle. Toyota spokeswoman Jana Hartline confirmed in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen that the company has conducted wireless charging tests in Japan "with hopes to bring that technology to market in the near future" but declined to provide more detail on the company's plans to offer wireless charging for plug-ins. Toyota's Satoshi Ogiso said last summer that the Prius Plug-in would eventually offer a wireless charging system in response to prospective customers' demand for it, though he wasn't specific on a time frame. Toyota started discussions with WiTricity regarding wireless charging system development more than three years ago and said late last year that it had reached a licensing agreement with the Boston-based company. WiTricity has also worked on developing wireless-charging systems that are compatible with Audi and Mitsubishi vehicles. WiTricity grew out of MIT back in 2007, back when we could barely imagine how it would work.
