1993 Toyota Celica Gt Convertible 2-door 2.2l on 2040-cars
Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States
|
Manual transmission. Runs and drives great! No AC. I bought this 1993 Toyota Celica Convertible about ten years ago. I drive it year-round, and the front-wheel drive works great in the winter. I'm middle-aged and never drive the car hard, and thus the mileage has been quite good, and the car has been quite reliable. I had a new timing belt and water pump put in it when I bought it, new wheel rims put on three years ago, a new clutch a few years ago, and last year I had new brake pads and rotors put on it. The car has been incredibly reliable, and I expect it should run for another 100k miles - these Toyotas seem to last forever. VIN is JT5ST87K5P0148883 Video at http://youtu.be/ZokF_CChkCs

A few years ago, I had a new convertible top put on, and since then, I've put repairs where the rear window meets the cloth, but it does not leak. Minor problems: -The right rear wheel-well has rust (see picture) -The trunk lid has to be manually lifted up, and you have to keep holding the lid up with your hand if you want to put things into the trunk. -The car doesn't look new, it looks like a 20-year-old car with lots dings and such. -The AC, cruise control, and the anti-lock brakes don't work. When they went, I didn't figure any of them were worth repairing (the brakes work great, the heater works...who needs air conditioning in a convertible?) -They keys are not original, and while they work, they are not as good as the original. |

How Toyota's neighbor delayed 23,000 of its deliveries
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Don't you just hate when your neighbors' mess becomes your problem? Toyota certainly has good reason to be upset, after an dirty mishap at a steel mill delayed thousands of vehicle exports from its nearby port in Nagoya, Japan, (pictured above) by as much as a month.
The messy situation occurred on June 22 when the mill near the port lost power and had to burn off an excess buildup of coke oven gas - which isn't exactly a situation friendly to living beings or the environment. According to Automotive News, it caused a massive amount of smoke to emit from the plant that fell as soot and tar on about 23,000 vehicles that were waiting to be shipped out. Getting the models properly cleaned off has been quite a task. A team of 5,000 workers were at the port until this week getting them gleaming again.
Potential Toyota buyers in North America have no need to fret about getting a sullied car, though. A Toyota spokesperson told Automotive News that none of the vehicles were bound for this continent. The automaker is reportedly considering asking the mill's owners for reimbursement for the cost of the weeks of cleanup. Paying for the mistake is, after all, the neighborly thing to do.
2014 Toyota Corolla coming Thursday, now with LED headlamps
Tue, 04 Jun 2013Here's what we know about the redesigned 2014 Toyota Corolla: It will have "aggressive new styling" with "available seventeen-inch alloy wheels" an "available touch screen audio" system and "available LED headlights."
We know all of this because Toyota has seen fit to release a small assortment of teaser images of the 2014 Corolla, with those descriptions attached. The latest to hit the web shows LED lighting clusters, which, to Toyota's credit, don't appear to merely mimic designs already seen in the automotive world.
We should point out that the headlights do share a link to the units seen on the Furia Concept that was supposed to foreshadow the next Corolla, though the most interesting bits - namely the honeycomb inner pattern - have been chucked while the somewhat trapezoidal main units remain intact.
Toyota recalling 1.67 million vehicles worldwide in 3 campaigns
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Toyota is issuing three separate recalls covering 1.67 million vehicles worldwide with most of those models in Japan. It looks like the campaigns' impact on the US may be smaller, though. According to Reuters, Toyota isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or fatalities affecting the models. Some yet-unnamed Lexus models might also be affected.
The largest of the campaigns does not currently affect any US-market vehicles. About 802,000 units of the Toyota Crown Majesta, Crown, Noah and Voxy in Japan are being repaired to replace a seal that could leak in the brake master cylinder. Those already leaking get a new brake booster, as well, according to Reuters.
The only recall currently believed to affect the US is due to a problem covering approximately 759,000 vehicles with 423,000 of them here. The repair is to fix a faulty fuel delivery pipe that could cause a fire if the fuel leaks out. Unfortunately, we don't know which models it covers. Autoblog spoke to Toyota spokesperson Mona Richard and was told the information was still "under embargo." When exactly that embargo will lift isn't yet known, but we're on the case.
