For Sale....
74 tii resto/mod. Only reason really selling is I have a baby on the way. Bought the car about two years ago north of Boston. Put over a 1000 hrs into restoring it. Do not have a title for the car. I bought it from a guy that somehow inherited it from third owner. He was less then helpful in locating said owner. In CT they don't title cars after 1986, so it didn't bother me. TONS of new parts and mods. Totally replaced floor boards front and rear with hand formed sheet metal. Sectioned out damaged front subframe legs with new heavy gauge steel. Replaced drivers rocker panel. Lots more replacement of rusted areas. Replaced backing of door cards. Rear shock towers were replaced by PO. Shaved front and rear side markers. Euro turn signals. Passenger door flag mirror. Shortened front and rear bumpers. Rolled front and rear fenders. Lowered on Bav Auto sport springs. New Bilstein shocks. Replica BBS RS's Braided steel flex brake lines. Ansa center exit exhaust. Stahl headers. All new suspension bushings. New steering linkage. New shifter rebuild kit. E-20 Recaros (drivers reupholstered, passenger has small rip/hole) New carpet. To much to remember. Car needs paint and minor body work. I was happy driving it just the way it was. Still has original 4 speed. Car runs strong, and starts right up. Intermittent ignition problem (no start click) 1 out of every 20 times) Clock works, but doesn't keep good time. Radio doesn't work. Needs knee panels under dash. Trunk has some sort of tar coating (from PO) on it hard to scrape off. I can't remember everything Email schnell916@gmail (dot) com for more info. |

Two new RWD Toyota sports cars to join FR-S?
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Toyota as we know it could become a thing of the past. According to Australian site Car Advice, the Japanese brand known for bland cruisers like the Camry and Corolla is preparing to bring two new rear-drive cars to market that would slot above and below the Scion-badged FR-S. This is very, very good news.
Car Advice spoke to the GT86/FR-S' chief engineer, Tatsuya Tada, who claimed, "Akio Toyoda always says to me, Toyota sports car [family] should be three sports car brothers. 86 is in the middle." The oldest "brother" would be the spiritual successor to the Supra, even if it doesn't wear that name. Tada is in charge of that project, while a sub-GT86 project is being headed-up elsewhere.
Tada refused to comment on names (CA specifically mentions MR2 and Celica) for the new small car, but did say that, "Yes it is rear-wheel drive and that's Toyota's strong position - Toyota sports car must be rear-wheel drive." Perhaps the juiciest bit of information obtained from Tada's interview with Car Advice was his hinting that both new sports cars would be joint ventures, like the GT86/FR-S/Subaru BRZ triplets. Tada wouldn't say who Toyota was in bed with on the smaller model, but did mention that the Supra would be a product of the world's largest automaker's partnership with BMW.
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
BMW profit of $2.7B is down as automaker invests to keep luxury lead
Fri, 02 Aug 2013
Despite selling 6.6-percent more vehicles - a record by volume - and posting higher revenues in the second quarter of 2013, BMW Group's profit of 2.07 million euros ($2.75 billion) is down 8.8 percent from last year. Investments in new technology (e.g. the new i3) and personnel, in addition to a competitive market, are to blame, BMW states. But the automaker remains committed to its fiscal targets for 2013, which, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Norbert Reithofer, says will be "on a similar scale to 2012."
The BMW brand's sales performance in the first half of the year, which increased by 7.7 percent to 804,258 vehicles delivered, was good enough for it to maintain its lead in the luxury market, narrowly beating Audi, which delivered 780,510 vehicles, Automotive News reports. Mercedes-Benz delivered 694,433 vehicles to cement third place.
