Clarksville, Tennessee, United States
|
For sale is a 1990 Toyota Supra, factory turbo model, targa, OEM silver paint (paint code 176), clean TN title in hand, no liens, no known history of accidents, 197,000 miles on chassis, roughly 70,000 miles on motor and trans. The car received a 1JZ-GTE swap (Non VVTI) in late 2007 by a performance shop in California. The car was also re-sprayed in the OEM color around the same time. The car has had the same owner for the past 6+ years (was purchased while the car was being swapped with 1JZ), and has been driven almost 20,000 miles since receiving the 1JZ swap. The car has only been used in the past six years as a warm weather car, and has been kept at home during the Winter months (usually from late November to early March. The car is only being sold due to a lack of interest and space.
The head-gasket was replaced with a new factory head-gasket, ARP head studs, and the head was machined slightly as part of preventive maintenance by a performance shop Texas in June of 2008. The original OEM head gasket was in perfect shape, and the car has no overheated since having the 1JZ swap. The car received a single turbo in 2009 as result from the rear turbo having a blown seals (a common problem for CT12s). In 2011 the car received a T4 turbo setup, and the Drift Motion 57trim was added in 2012 to give the car a balanced power-band. Some of the invoices for parts and labor will be included, this includes the head-work from Del's Performance in 2008. The car currently runs extremely well, with no mechanical problems except for needing a alignment, which the car will receive before being sold. The engine is healthy, no leaks, no smoke, has a broad power-band, and performs well under boost. The car typically has positive pressure around 2500 RPM, and reaches full around 4000 RPM. The exhaust is custom 3 inch, and is relatively quiet; it can barely be heard outside of the cabin while driving. In June of 2012 the made 354 whp, 330 torque at 16 pounds on a Dyno Dynamics, which typically reads 15% lower than a Dyno Jet. The only major change since being on the dyno is replacing the Tial with a generic 46mm waste-gate. The transmission has no grinds, shifts well in every gear, and is showing no signs of fatigue. The clutch works well, and holds the power with no problems. Overall, the car still has plenty of untapped potential it could reach by adding only a few modifications such as; 550cc injectors, USDM 2JZ cams or Brain Crower cams, and possibly a stand alone EMS. Aesthetically, the car could use a good quality respray. The resprayed paint overall looks ok at best. The exterior and interior look good for the age of the car, but the car has several smaller dents, the dash has a crack, the carpet has significant wear, and the steering wheel has aged. The currently has a black dash pad, and a better looking steering wheel will be included. There is no rust (SoCal car) and no body damage. The cost of parts to convert a MA70 to a 1JZ using a single turbo will typically cost an average of $7,000 or more in parts. This is not even factoring the cost of a shell or the necessary supporting modifications. It is also rare for a 1JZ swapped MA70 to be sold on eBay. Feel free to ask questions related to the car's condition. Thanks for looking.

Tesla expects another higher-volume deal with Toyota in next few years
Tue, 09 Sep 2014Four months have passed since Toyota ended its relationship with Tesla Motors, in which the electric-vehicle specialist supplied full lithium-ion battery packs to the Japanese behemoth for its RAV4 EV rollout, of which 2,500 vehicles will be completed. Now, Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk has been heard suggesting that a future collaboration is likely within the next two to three years, and that it will probably be much larger than the last one.
Both Tesla and Toyota have sung each other's praises in the not-too-distant past, Toyota telling Autoblog back in May, "We have a good relationship with Tesla and will evaluate the feasibility of working together on future projects." According to Automotive News, Musk said of the Japanese giant, "We love working with Toyota... We have a huge amount of respect for them as a company and certainly much to learn."
Interestingly, though, the two automakers have rather divergent strategies for eco-friendly automobiles. Toyota, as you're surely aware, is the clear-cut leader in hybrids and has thrown its massive support in the direction of hydrogen fuel cells, while Tesla has invested heavily in battery-electric technology and high-speed charging stations.
Toyota moving US headquarters to Plano, Texas
Mon, 28 Apr 2014It's official, Toyota is relocating its US operations to Plano, TX. And it won't be a symbolic 'all ranch and no cattle' gesture - the Japanese automaker, whose headquarters have been in California since 1957, has decided to base nearly all of its operations in the Lone Star State, including much of its engineering, finance and sales and marketing teams.
The move, which will see the establishment of a new headquarters campus in the Dallas suburb will not only affect employees at the company's current Torrance, CA Toyota Motor Sales USA campus, it will also touch the lives of thousands of employees at the company's other operations, including 1,000 workers at Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America in Erlanger, KY and some New York-based staff as well. The Toyota Technical Center in Ann Arbor, MI is not facing relocation, however, and it actually stands to gain responsibilities as Toyota overhauls its US org chart. Toyota says that its reorganization will affect about 4,000 employees in total.
According to Automotive News, while Toyota is adopting an "'everyone is invited' stance for the relocation," some attrition is expected from employees who aren't interested in relocating southward from the Golden State. For its part, the automaker is reportedly making expenses-paid visits to Plano available to full-time staffers and spouses to help them make the relocation decision, as well as a lump-sump payment if they decide to go through with the move.
NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
