The time has come to let go of my reliable buddy. My good friend. My truck. It has served me very well and taken me to many interesting places over the 150,000 miles we spent together. Instead of telling you everything that's great about this truck (Google can tell you that), I will let you in on all that is wrong with it perhaps with a short narrative. The truck has several dings and dents (All of which are pictured) either caused mysteriously or by one of 3 minor accidents. The front bumper was hit by one of the many fools on the road. As I waited at a stop sign, the woman in front of me decided she was too far into the intersection and popped her boat of a car in reverse without ever looking behind her...and banged into me. She hopped out of her boat and began apologizing profusely with her blonde hair and Russian accent. Since the damage was cosmetic, I let it go. The next accident happened one winter morning on my way to work. I pulled out onto the road and as I put her into 4th I realized I was no longer gripping the pavement, but was sliding freely into oncoming traffic, spinning slowly. I finally came to a stop in the opposite lane after spinning roughly 200 degrees. Lucky for me, it was so early that there was no traffic in the opposite lane. All was well...so I thought. Unfortunately the car behind me hit the same ice patch and also began sliding freely until she came to a stop by knocking into my front driver side headlight. It didn't stop there. Many more cars kept piling on. Ironically, I was the only driver not at fault. Although there is a police record of this, I left my insurance company out of it. The headlight was replaced but because of the dent below the lamp, it does not fit as snugly as it once did. The final accident was all me. I backed into a street sign while leaving a parking spot. This left a nice semi-circle dent on the back passenger side corner of the truck. There are other minor dings and dents but luckily for you, I have no explanation for them.

Over the years some things stopped working. The radio and cassette player stopped working long ago. The windshield wiper fluid leaks. This began shortly after having the fuel filter replaced. My mechanic likely cracked the reservoir but it may be a loose seal. The driver side door doesn't always want to open with the key. One or more pins in the lock must be sticking. I have loosened them and gotten the key to work but they eventually get stuck again. Worst case scenarios...the lock will need to be replaced or you will get in the habit of opening the truck from the passenger side. The check engine light has been on for about 6 years. Once in a while it goes off. It stayed off for a few weeks straight after having the catalytic converter replaced. The emergency break light stays on too. Even when the emergency break is off. And of course the windshield wiper fluid light is on. I recently had the wheel bearings and ball joints replaced on the front passenger side. It is logical to assume they will need to be replaced on the driver side eventually. If that becomes the case, there will be plenty of warning. For a few weeks prior to having them replaced, it felt as if the power steering had gone. The seats have some staining and discoloration. There is some glue markings on the tonneau cover in the pictures. The cover is in great shape. No rips or tears. I put the tape on the cover while visiting a friend in a high crime area in order to deter any potential theft. I will have the glue cleaned off by the time the truck is picked up. White paint spilled on the bed liner as can be seen in the photos. Otherwise, the truck is in great shape. It runs beautifully. I am only passing it on because my brother gave me his Subaru...and I couldn't pass up all wheel drive. Feel free to message me with any questions. Should you be the happy future owner of my truck, payment must be made in full within a week of the auction's close.

Thanks,

Keith

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.

Cosworth announces Power Packages for Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S with up to 380 hp [w/video]

Sat, 31 May 2014

Cosworth stands on the list of the most famous engine tuners in the world with its DFV engine engine dominating Formula One for a time in the '70s. So when it teases plans to take on the FA20 engine from Subaru and Toyota found in the BRZ, Scion FR-S and Toyota GT86 abroad, our interest is indeed piqued. Cosworth is promising to take the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder boxer engine from its current 200 horsepower all the way to 325 hp and even 380 hp in a future track version through a series of staged Power Packages. At the moment, only the first stage is available that takes the mill to a potent 230 hp.
Cosworth says that its new strategy is to offer its upgrades in kits rather than individually so that it can be sure that everything works and fits when owners receive it. The Stage 1 Power Package emphasizes helping the FA20 breathe better and includes a nearly complete replacement for the stock exhaust system. There is a sports exhaust with four-inch, diagonally cut, polished tips and Y-shaped muffler, an overpipe front pipe with a spherical resonator and a new manifold header that is 22 percent lighter the standard unit. In addition to that, the kit comes with a software reflash, low temperature thermostat, Cosworth badge and plaque.
The stage one kit is available now, and stages two and three go on sale later this summer, according to its website. Autoblog contacted Cosworth for pricing information for the kits. We will update this story, if we hear back. The company also released a video showing off the exhaust upgrades. Scroll down to watch it and read the full release, below.

Toyota i-Road is no less strange in the flesh

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

We've seen plenty of three-wheeled creations in our day, but none quite like the Toyota i-Road Concept. The "personal mobility vehicle" offers seating for two with driver and passenger positioned in a tandem position. While that may sound more like a motorcycle than a car, the closed cockpit means riders don't need a helmet. The design also takes a page from the 2008 Peugeot HyMotion3 Concept with an articulating front suspension that allows the driver to lean through corners thanks to "Active Lean" self-balancing technology. Unlike the funky Pug, however, the i-Road is a fully electric plug-in vehicle.
While there are just five-horsepower on hand from an electric motor, the i-Road should serve up a range of around 30 miles thanks to its lithium-ion battery, and Toyota claims the cells can be topped off in three hours with a "conventional domestic power supply." Sounds majestic. Take in the full press release below.
