Toyota Celica Alltrac Turbo St185 on 2040-cars

Year:1990 Mileage:162058
Location:

Rocky River, Ohio, United States

Rocky River, Ohio, United States

I am the original owner of this totally stock Celica Alltrac Turbo.
Excellent candidate for restoration or customization.

Of course… She needs TLC.

The clutch is bad, in a weird way, but can still be driven using rev matching.
I start her with the clutch depressed and in either 1 or R and then release the clutch to go.
Once moving in 1st, I rev match and clutch normally. Have driven hundreds of miles this way.
Obviously she needs a new clutch and it is probably the time to rebuild the engine, which does burn and leak oil.
I had the transmission rebuilt with the first clutch replacement about 95K and that definitely solved the smoothness issue that plagued me from the beginning. I have another 1990 with the original clutch and tranny and she hangs up between 4th and fifth the same as this one did BEFORE the rebuild. Has sunroof.

Other Problems:

Needs tires and suspension work.
AC and stereo do not work… Antenna is broke off.
Leather seats need repair.
Hood blanket is shredded.

Some damage and rust on the left rear quarter panel.
The passenger side floor pan has rusted through and needs repair.
There are no other rust issues that I am aware of.
Hole in midpipe flexi… Won't pass E Check.

Jim Lentz exposes more details behind Toyota's move to Texas

Fri, 02 May 2014

Toyota's North American CEO Jim Lentz has already given us a rough idea of what prompted the company's surprise move to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX from its longstanding headquarters in Torrance, CA. A new story from The Los Angeles Times, though, delivers even more detail from Lentz on the reasoning for the move, what other cities were considered and why the company's current host city wasn't even in the running.
Of course, one of the more popular reasons being bandied about includes the $40 million Texas was set to give the company for the move, as well as the state's generous tax rates. According to Lentz, though, the reason Toyota chose Plano over a group of finalists made up of Atlanta, Charlotte and Denver, was far simpler than that - it was about consolidating its marketing, sales, engineering and production teams in a region that's closer to the company's seat of manufacturing in the south.
"It doesn't make sense to have oversight of manufacturing 2,000 miles away from where the cars were made," Lentz told The Times. "Geography is the reason not to have our headquarters in California."

Toyota's Euro Aygo spied in prototype form

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

The five-door version of the next-generation Toyota Aygo, a Euro offering cloned by the Peugeot 107 and Citroën C1, has been caught out on the town wearing all black. Facelifted early last year, predictions are that the next version of the city car will be slightly lower and wider than the current car, with improved ergonomics and materials. Based on what little can be seen for now, a new intake and headlight treatment should be on the menu in front, with taillights placed higher on its backside.
A three-door version is expected, but a gasoline-hybrid model is also rumored, along with power and fuel economy improvements to the three-cylinder engine that presently puts out 67 horsepower and 69 pound-feet of torque.
We should see it next year, along with the new Citroën C1 and Peugeot 108.

Judge halts Toyota unintended acceleration cases, triggers time for settlement negotiations

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

So far, the lawsuits brought forth against Toyota for unintended acceleration have gone both ways: the automaker was found not at fault in a 2009 California crash and liable for a 2007 crash in Oklahoma. Both cases involved a Camry and resulted in fatalities. With a big chunk of these UA cases (around 200) set to his the docket of US District Judge James V. Selna in Santa Ana, California, Bloomberg is reporting that the judge has halted the lawsuits until March after Toyota and its lawyers have had extra time to try and settle the cases.
According to the article, Toyota is looking to take care of the cases out of court with an "intensive settlement process." Having already paid out $1.6 billion in "economic loss" suits, this latest settlement process is aimed at the wrongful death and personal injury cases allegedly associated with unintended acceleration. A hearing for the settlements will be held on January 14 with conferences on the matter commencing in February. There is no word as to when lawsuits may start back up if settlements can't be agreed upon.
