1985 Toyota Celica Gts Convertible 2-door 2.4l on 2040-cars

1985 Celica Convertible with extremely low 46,xxx miles.
There were only 4 to 5 thousand of these made ever; a handful in 1984 and the rest in 1985. I only know of one or two other with fewer miles. This is the first 'official' Celica convertible year and also the last year that Celicas had rear wheel drive. I've had it for about 5 years and have driven it only during the summer, maybe 2,000 miles per year. It runs great and I've loved driving it - I'm just making room for a different vehicle. This is the second one of these I've owned; I really liked the first one but it was really beat up and couldn't pass up getting this one with its low miles. When I bought it, it had just been restored to working order after many years of sitting and had been retired from the DMV records. It was given a paint job as part of that restoration. Overall, it's in really nice shape: - The upholstery is all intact. Rugs also. No cracks in the dash. - No rust. - A brand new top and headliner were professionally installed in 2012. The hydraulic system to raise and lower the top works fine. - The radio is a 5 year old Kenwood with aux / usb in; I kept the original radio / tape desk as well. - The 3 piece fiberglass parade boot is in nice shape. These are a bit more rare than the car itself. - I have an extra set of seat belts for it. They were only made for this one year, so when I got the chance to get a backup set I jumped on it. - Tires are maybe 4 years old but have only been driven on less that 10K miles. - I put a new muffler and catalytic converter on it when I got it. On the down side: - It leaks some motor oil (it does not burn oil at all). My mechanic said just drive it that way. Seems like it's leaking less lately, maybe an old seal is reseating after that long sit? No other leaks. - There's a couple of dings, none too bad. - A/C doesn't work. I've never tried to fix it - it's a convertible. - The mirrors could be painted. The ones that came on it looked good but didn't work mechanically, so I replaced them with working ones. I believe I still have them as well. - Even with the new top on, it will leak some in moderate rain around the front corners. I've pretty much only driven it in nice weather. - The automatic radio antenna raises to different levels each time the car is turned on. - The paint job it last got was fine, but it could have used better prep in a few spots. That's about it. It's a cool, classic, rare convertible that's lots of fun to drive. |

Toyota GT86 CS-R3 ready to rally
Mon, Jan 26 2015Toyota is returning to the rally scene with the competition-spec version of the GT86. First announced over a year ago, the GT86 CS-R3 began testing this past summer, and is now just about ready for customer deliveries. Instead of contesting the top tier of the World Rally Championship, the GT86 CS-R3 was designed to compete in the R3 class. It's closely based on the road-going model (better known around these parts as the Scion FR-S), and retains its 2.0-liter boxer four, sending 238 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque through a Drenth six-speed sequential gearbox and limited slip differential to the rear wheels. Available in either tarmac or gravel specification, the GT86 CS-R3 comes complete with "body shell, powertrain and all mechanical components required to build the car." It's set to undergo final FIA certification in July, at which point it'll be ready to deliver to privateer rally teams to field in national and international rallies and in the HJS TMG CS-R3 Trophy that kicks off in Germany on July 4. The package sells for ˆ84,000 ($94k at today's rates) before taxes, but customers who place their orders before April 24 will get a ˆ5k discount.

Cologne, Germany - The CS-R3 prototype was launched last August and since then has completed an extensive test programme to optimise design and define the final specification of the kit which will be delivered to private competitors and teams. Detailed development has generated improved performance on both gravel and tarmac, while reliability and durability have been prioritised in order to deliver a car which allows cost-effective competition throughout the season and beyond. The CS-R3 has already proved immensely popular thanks to its rear-wheel drive powertrain, with 1,998cc, 238hp boxer engine and six-speed sequential transmission which combine to produce a spectacular driving experience. The first cars will be delivered to customers in May, later than originally forecast to allow improvements highlighted during testing to be implemented. As a consequence TMG has extended its introductory discount.

2015 Toyota Sienna SE keeps the swagger, adds thoughtful updates [w/videos]
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Toyota found huge success with its "Swagger Wagon" rap video for the 2011 Sienna SE. It showed that a minivan could actually sort of maybe be fun and didn't have to be a lame vehicle for people who long ago lost their sense of humor. Now that there is a slight refresh for the 2015 model, the company is trying to capture that effervescent image again with a bunch of videos aimed at families.
For the latest launch, Toyota is partnering with some family-friendly online video stars and having them show off the Sienna's features. It's releasing YouTube videos from the creators of Action Movie Kid and Convos with My 2-Year-Old and a Vine from Eh Bee Family, and they all hope to show that it's cool to be a family with a minivan.
In terms of actual changes, though, the update is pretty light aesthetically, but the new tech inside seems aimed directly at mom and dad. However, unless you've got a sharp eye, spotting the exterior refresh might be tough. Toyota is tweaking the front end slightly by adding a dark mesh grille and trim. The headlights are also slightly reshaped to incorporate a new strip of available LED running lights.
