1980 Toyota
Celica Gt lift back (RA42L) You are
viewing a highly customized Celica GT with 131,000 original miles. I am a
Toyota Factory certified Master Technician and ASE certified master technician
with over 30 years of professionally working on Toyota products. This car
originally belonged to my Mother. When she gave me the car in 2000, I proceeded
to replace the 20R carbureted motor with a 22RE fuel injected motor and the
complete fuel injection system from a 1984 Celica. The
installation looks like it came from the factory! I even moved the battery from
the right side to the left side! I took the original
wiring harness and the fuel injected donor vehicle’s harness completely apart
and made one harness using only the factory wires, terminals and connectors. I even fabricated two fuse & relay blocks. I replaced
the three speed automatic with a four speed overdrive automatic transmission. I had the
car repainted and re-upholstered. I installed custom clear headlights and
lenses front and rear. The car also
has custom air brushing on the hood, spoiler and 1/4 panels I swapped in
the 1981 three piece radio. I hunted
junkyards for a year to find the factory 1981 Supra spoiler and the black glass B-piller trims and the 1981 spare
tire wood cover. The car has a full sized spare tire. I replaced the 14 inch steel wheels with the 15 inch alloys with Bridgestone Potenzas 195/60 R15 This vehicle
has been taken to a California Bureau of Auto Repair referee station and issued
a smog system compliance label. It smogs every 2 years as a 1984 Celica. It has
current registration in my name Manual
sunroof works great. I just put a
brand new battery in! **Known Defects** There are approximately 12 paint chips in the left and right doors and fenders. The A/C was converted to R134a, but is currently empty. The engine leaks a little oil. The radio buzzes on one speaker. And the tires are worn to 5/32". This car is
super reliable and can be used as a daily driver or entered in car shows. Why am I
selling her? Hey gotta get on to the next project…I’m envisioning a V-6 SW MR2 |

Toyota engineer warns automous cars could increase fuel use, urban sprawl
Fri, 18 Jul 2014An increasing number of people are starting to consider the potential downsides of a transition to autonomous cars. The FBI is already looking at them for the potential ill effects on law enforcement, and a scientist for Toyota is raising the possibility that driverless vehicles could actually be detrimental to the environment over the long term.
Ken Laberteaux, who studies future transportation for Toyota, thinks that autonomous cars could lead to more pollution, not less, says Bloomberg. However, Laberteaux's theory isn't so much based purely on science as it is considering behavioral and historical trends. "US history shows that anytime you make driving easier, there seems to be this inexhaustible desire to live further from things," said Laberteaux during a presentation at the Automated Vehicles Symposium in San Francisco, CA, cited by Bloomberg.
Laberteaux's belief is that if commuters can make their drives easier, then they will be more willing to live farther away from the cities where they work. The end result would be more urban sprawl and increased pollution from the longer travel times.
Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
