For sale is my 1985 Celica GT Coupe. I purchased from the original owner years ago. Car is in near perfect condition. As rust free as you will find for a car of this age. Underside of car as clean as the top. Undercoating and factory rust treatment looks like they could have been done yesterday, yet it is the original. Original paint. Interior shows very minimal wear. Working factory options include sunroof, cruise control, air conditioning, power steering and front disc brakes, 22RE engine, 4 speed auto transmission, AM-FM stereo, power mirrors, fuel injection, tilt wheel, tinted glass, split fold down rear seats, floor mats, etc. Original spare, jack and tool kit appear unused.

New tires on recently refinished factory Toyota alloy GTS/Supra wheels. Balance weights installed on inside of wheels for a cleaner look that do not mark the wheel front.

I have the original window sticker, warranty book, and owners manual.

If the "Buy it Now" option is used I will include the original set of steel wheels, trim rings and center caps, (several caps are "New Old Stock") Factory Toyota Celica service manual, rare original Celica sales brochure, car cover; all in nice condition.

When I purchased the car the engine ran great and had perfect compression in all cylinders, but under acceleration seemed to "ping." An experienced certified Toyota mechanic suggested engine disassembly in spite of the low miles. Number 4 piston was found damaged. The engine block was in perfect condition. After carefully cleaning the cylinder walls the engine was rebuilt using quality parts from LCE Engineering. This included 4 new pistons, rings, bearings, wrist pins, fuel injectors, balanced oil and water pumps, fuel filter, distributor, throttle position sensor, plugs, all new gaskets and radiator, etc. 

The 22RE is known for timing chain guide issues so since the engine was already apart the "single row" timing setup was converted to a "dual row" chain to include replacing the factory plastic guides with upgraded steel ones. A new timing cover was installed to accommodate the dual row setup. All parts from LCE Engineering. No expense spared in this conversion.

This is now the smoothest running 22RE I have ever heard. Starts with just a "touch" of the key. It is well tuned and sorted out. Please note that the EGR system was deleted during the rebuild by utilizing quality block off plates from LCE Engineering. Mud guards are old school after market and were installed using existing holes and hardware.

All original parts removed from the engine have been retained and go with the car if desired. EGR system could be reinstalled, but I don't know why anyone would want to do that. These are notorious for causing the #4 piston to overheat.

I do not have to sell this car, but too many other projects demand my time. Available for inspection prior to auction end. A bid on this car is a commitment to buy. Car is a PA registered antique. Reserve is well below my investment. This car appears to have been garaged all its life. Car is normally stored on my drive-on lift which makes for simple inspection. Ask any questions prior to auction end. Thank you for viewing my auction and check my 100% feedback.

2014 Toyota 4Runner

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

I recently took the redesigned 2014 Toyota 4Runner for a muddy romp in Pennsylvania. While the mechanical bits and pieces beneath the body-on-frame SUV trudge forward into the new model year with very few tweaks, the truck "receives a rugged new exterior design and interior refinements that add comfort and convenience without sacrificing its hallmark performance capability and excellent value," says the automaker.
A quick visual scan of the 4Runner reveals a new front end with a more "aggressive" and "muscular" appearance (yes, I'm quoting Toyota) that includes new headlights, grille and hood scoop. A roof rack is now standard across all trims, too. While SR5 and Trail grades have a bland color-keyed grille insert that gives the face a monochromatic appearance, the range-topping Limited (shown above and in our gallery) snarls with a silver-plated chin that gives it a bit more character.
New soft-touch surfaces within the cabin provide a more upscale environment and a bright new Optitron instrument panel improves readability and functionality. As before, the SR5 and Trail models arrive with fabric upholstery or optional Softex seats (synthetic leather). Genuine hides are reserved for the Limited trim, which is also fitted with Toyota's unique X-REAS (X-Relative Absorber System) automatic suspension system as standard equipment.

Toyota updates Euro-market GT86 suspension, appearance

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

While we were busy ogling the Scion FR-S Release Series 1.0 with its Yuzu yellow paint and a workover by Toyota Racing Development, and the Japanese Toyota 86 buyers were trying out their Playstation-compatible Sports Drive Logger telemetry system, the European 2015 Toyota GT86 got fitted with some new parts of its own. New on next year's model are stiffer mounts for the front suspension and rear shock absorbers, and new shocks in the back for better damping and less friction. Toyota says the result is sharper steering and less body roll.
Inside, the instrument panel and center console get decorated with a "carbon-fiber motif." There are new shades of pearl white and silver to dress up the outside, and the roof gets a shark-fin antenna for sharper looks and aero. It goes on sale this summer, and you can read everything we just told you in the press release below. We've reached out to Scion to see if we'll get the same upgrades on the FR-S this summer, too, company PR rep Nancy Hubbell telling us, "The European changes are among those being considered for the US model FR-S and we'll have final confirmation soon."

Toyota to drop regular-cab Tacoma as small pickups take another hit

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

Even as General Motors prepares to redesign its midsize pickups, the market for sub-fullsize trucks continues to shrink. The remaining competitors in the segment are the well-aged Nissan Frontier, Honda Ridgeline and Toyota Tacoma, and now Truck Trend is reporting that the latter will be dropping its regular cab model due to poor sales.
According to the article, the available configurations for the Tacoma lineup will be whittled down in 2015, which apparently spells the end for the two-door Taco. The Tacoma is currently the last truck in its class to be offered in a regular cab configuration, with the Frontier no longer offering a standard cab model and spy shots of the next-gen Chevrolet Colorado not revealing any glimpse of a short cab, either.
