Toyota Celica St165 Gt-four Project Cars (x2) on 2040-cars

US $3,500.00
Year:1987 Mileage:180000
Location:

Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand

Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand

Due to a change in circumstances I have to sell my ST165 project cars. 2 almost complete cars, one ready to rebuild, the other a donor 

Keen to sell or swap for a running Celica ST185 GT-Four (any condition considered) 

Details are: 
- 1x 1988 Toyota Celica ST165 GT-Four facelift (black/grey/blue) 
- 1x 1987 Toyota Celica ST165 GT-Four pre-facelift (white) 

The facelift car has had THOUSANDS spent on getting the body perfect and rust-free (except for a tiny bit still around the windscreen, which is yet to be removed). All other panel work is done and ready for paint. 

The white car is an early and rare pre-facelift with live plates. The other is dereg. 

Heaps of parts...one good 3S-GTE engine still in the white one. Other features include: 
- Momo Race steering wheel & boss kit 
- 15" OZ Racing lightweight wheels with almost new tyres 
- Cusco rear strut brace (brand new) 
- Full new decal kit (grey) 
- TRD gear knob 
- JDM sideskirts (rare) 
- Lots and lots of parts (pretty much 2 of everything) 

Perfect if you have some knowledge of these to complete...would result in a VERY nice example of this classic rally car. 

Most pics are of the actual cars in their current condition. The final two pics are how both cars looked before being restored. Not looking to part these out at this point, so if you want parts, the offer would have to be VERY good.

Subaru Viziv 2 presages Tribeca replacement with diesel hybrid tech

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

Subaru is in the middle of a new product bonanza. It has recent replacements for the Impreza and Forester at dealers, and soon we're getting the WRX, Legacy and if rumors are right the new Outback as well. Now, there are rumblings that there could be two more models from the Japanese brand on the way with styling inspired by the Viziv 2 concept from the Geneva Motor Show.
According to a company insider speaking with Motor Trend, the crossover concept shows the way for the brand's future design language. The shape would be used on a smaller CUV that is still being kept quite secret, and a second, larger one that would replace the recently axed Tribeca. The bigger model is the first priority and is planned as a new technology showcase.
It's rumored to use a turbodiesel, four-cylinder boxer engine that would be boosted with one electric motor on the front axle and two at the rear, with a plug-in hybrid system sourced from Toyota. It should provide a great mix of torque and fuel economy. A smaller flat-six engine would be a second powertrain option. Though the Viziv 2 concept only seats four, the production version would probably offer three rows.

Honda, Nissan and Mazda recalling 3 million vehicles for airbag inflators

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

Three million more vehicles can be added to the worldwide tally to be repaired for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata. Honda, Nissan, and Mazda have all issued recalls to replace the bad part, including about 1.2 million of them in North America. NHTSA has been investigating all three companies, plus Chrysler and Toyota, for potentially affected vehicles.
Honda is recalling roughly 1.02 million Civic, CR-V, Odyssey and Element models In North America, built between April 2000 and October 2002. Mazda needs to repair 14,794 units of the RX-8 and Mazda6, and Nissan has 228,000 vehicles in North America to be fixed.
Chrysler is also starting what it calls a "regional field action" to replace the inflators in the 2006 Dodge Charger, according to a company spokesperson. The company says that it has not yet found the problem in any of its vehicles, but it's being done "out of an abundance of caution." The final number of Chargers affected will be announced later this week.

Toyota makes $100M investment to boost Indiana Highlander production

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

Toyota has announced that it will be making a $100 million investment in its Princeton, IN factory in a bid to increase production of its popular Highlander CUV. The move will create 300 new jobs by 2016 and increase the total number of crossovers the plant can produce by 30,000.
Toyota currently builds the Highlander, alongside the fullsize Sequoia, at Toyota Indiana's West Plant. The additional capacity, though, will be sent to the East Plant, which is currently responsible for production of the recently refreshed Sienna minivan.
"The Highlander has been a great product for our plant," Toyota Indiana President Norm Bafunno said in a statement. "Establishing Highlander as the 'bridge vehicle,' as we call it, between the East and West plants increases our ability to meet customer needs for our outstanding products. This exciting news is a true testament to the capability of our hard-working and dedicated team members."
