Excellent, and rare completely stock 1986 Toyota Celica GT-S Liftback with a low 132k miles. 135hp 2.0 liter 3S-GE engine with 5speed transmission. This very clean and sharp Celica has been extremely well maintained and shows very nicely. Here are some of the highlights:

-Original California vehicle that has very little rust on it. The underside of this car is extra clean with no rust on the floor boards. 
- Original leather front and rear seats have been covered with custom made simulated leather covers tailored just for these seats in the original blue color. Very nice and they give new life to the interior.
- Carpets in excellent shape. No cracks in original dash board. New leather steering wheel cover and shift boot.
- Top of car above white side stripe has been recently repainted original blue due to faded clear coat.
-New windshield.
- New resonator and stock style replacement muffler.
-Timing belt and water pump replaced at 98K miles
- New rear pads and rotors.
- AC converted to R134A, and blows nice and cold.
- A/M F/M CD player with new front speakers.
- New stock size 205/60R14 replacement tires on stock GT-S Wheels.
- Recent plugs, cap, rotor and wires.
-New front and rear KYB struts
- New right front axle.
- New radiator
- New battery
- Everything works: Power door locks, windows, auto climate control and cruise control.
- Many new spare parts: Factory new starter motor, new OEM manifold heat shield, new OEM coolant bottle.
- Drives straight and smooth on the highway. Very nice to cruise in. Gets around 27 MPG in town.
- Transmission shifts well, though 2nd gear can be a little balky at times.This apparently is common on this type of vehicle. It has never been an issue for me while driving it. Clutch is in good shape with no slippage.
- Engine is all original with excellent compression. It does leak and burn a little oil. Mostly on start up due to valve guide seals typical of vintage cars this age. The auction does include an ATK re-manufactured complete cylinder head with all valve train components and cams. I had originally planned on installing this, but found the car ran so good, that I would just add a little oil from time to time.
- This car has been my daily driver in nice weather for the last 3 years. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere, and it does have a current inspection sticker. It pains me to sell it, but I needed to get a vehicle I could drive in the winter  and in the salt, which I was not willing to do with this car because it is so clean. Someone will be gaining a very nice,  unique and rare car, with Toyota legendary reliability. 
This car is also for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. Please no international bidders, or bidders with negative feedback. No 0 feedback bidders. Please no SCAMS. $500 paypal deposit due within 2 days of auction end. Payment balance due in cash or bank cashiers check 7 days from auction end. Vehicle shipping winning bidders responsibility.

IIHS: Drivers safer than passengers in frontal crash test

Thu, Jun 23 2016

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety introduced a small overlap frontal crash test in 2012 that replicates what happens when the front corner of a car impacts another object. In the test, vehicles travel at a speed of 40 mph toward a five-foot-tall barrier with 25 percent of the total width of the car striking the barrier on the driver side. One would assume that vehicles with good small overlap front ratings would protect the driver and the passenger equally. But a recent study from the IIHS proves that passengers aren't as protected as drivers. The IIHS conducted the test on seven small SUVs with good driver-side small overlap ratings and only one of the vehicles, the 2016 Hyundai Tucson, performed well enough to be given a good rating. The other SUVs performance ranged from poor to acceptable. After reviewing the results of the test, the IIHS is deliberating whether it should institute a passenger-side rating as part of its Top Safety Pick criteria. "This is an important aspect of occupant protection that needs more attention," states Becky Mueller, lead author of the study and an IIHS senior research engineer. "More than 1,600 right-front passengers died in frontal crashes in 2014." Since the small overlap front test was introduced, 13 automakers have made structural changes to 97 vehicles with roughly three-quarters earning a good rating after the adjustments. The IIHS' test for frontal ratings is completed with a dummy in the driver's seat and with a barrier overlapping the driver's side. Which makes sense, as passengers aren't always riding in a vehicle. "It's not surprising that automakers would focus their initial efforts to improve small overlap protection on the side of the vehicle that we conduct the tests on," states David Zuby, IIHS executive vice president and chief research officer. "In fact, we encouraged them to do that in the short term if it mean they could quickly make driver-side improvements to more vehicles. As time goes by, though, we would hope they ensure similar levels of protection on both sides." As the IIHS' test revealed, there's a massive difference in safety between the two front seats. Increase passenger safety, according to Mueller, would require automakers to strengthen the occupant compartment by using a different type of material or by making it thicker.

GM, Audi, Jaguar halt Russian sales amidst ruble's collapse

Fri, Dec 19 2014

The value of Russia's ruble currency has sunk like a stone tossed in the Volga for much of the year, losing over 40 percent of its worth since June. The change is having bizarre effects on the auto industry there and leaving some automakers scrambling to adjust. According to Bloomberg, Russians are buying up luxury goods including automobiles at the moment to have a physical investment in case the ruble sinks further. However, with the money worth so little, the companies aren't making much from these transactions. Things are so dire that several automakers are temporarily ending deliveries until the situation stabilizes. According to Bloomberg, General Motors stopped sales on December 16 with no set date to start again. Audi did the same thing but with the intention to resume once it has adjusted model pricing. Jaguar Land Rover terminated business until December 19 to see how things changed. Toyota is increasing its pricing, as well, but keeping business open at the same time. Some automakers have subtly been reacting to the slumping Russian auto market all year. The moves have included Volkswagen cutting production by 30,000 units from its factory in Kaluga. Ford also got rid of 950 workers from two plants due to low demand. Some analysts have even speculated that the contracting industry and possibility of lower import duties into the country could cause companies to end their manufacturing in Russia completely.

Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.
