PRICE SEEMS A BIT STEEP, BUT READ ON. I ASSURE YOU, IT'S WORTH IT. PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE INQUIRING! This car is still my daily driver, registered under my name and inspected. She's still running and miles will increase. I had an offer for this car by a gentleman back in June for 1800. The only reason why the deal fell through is because he wanted the new struts installed in the car at the time of purchase and I could not accommodate his request. But upon test driving and assessing, the car was basically worth the offer. Also, more money has gone into the car since that time. I bought a car better suited for the winter months so now I am selling this car. It's a great little car, and has been very good to me. Absolutely reliable. Everything I did for this car since I took ownership back in December 3, 2012 was basically long overdue maintenance. Otherwise, no mechanical repairs were necessary nor are they now. I can't list all the things done. I have a meticulous service history for the car. They're for record purposes only as many jobs were DIYs. The major jobs however were done by a competent mechanic. I really don't drive very much, and although I have had the car for 10 months, I have only put in 6000 miles on the car. So all the repairs done on this car are recent, with most of the benefits being transferred to the new owner. This car needs nothing. Just the few big items I will list here, but keep in mind that this car is solid inside and out and much more was actually done: 1. Timing belt, tensioner, drive belt, and water pump all replaced within the last 6 months, with only 3000 miles on them. 2. New struts, all 4. Complete assembly replacement. So new springs, mounts, boots... you name it. 3. New linkages, front and rear 4. New tie rods, inner and outer 5. New coolant, complete with flush 6. New transmission gear oil. AMSOIL 75W90 7. MANY MANY MORE. 8. NEW CLUTCH!!! much lighter than the original OEM and grabs straight off the floor! 9. New mounts, engine passenger side and transmission side. 10. New tires! all 4. TOYO - Balanced and good to go! Nitrogen filled. 11. Alignments done regularly. 12. Oil changes done on the dot. This car doesn't need to be jacked for oil changes. So very convenient! currently running on Valvoline Maxlife. Excellent oil! The car isn't pretty, but it's an absolutely solid car. EVERYTHING works! and I mean everything! no blown speakers (upgraded Kenwood unit with all 4 matching Kenwood speakers. 3 way units) and all windows go up and down. (manually) And every dash lights, dome lights, AC, everything. Work like they should. Heat is awesome! it can get so hot during winter inside the car I've had back seat passengers complain about the heat! The AC is ice cold! Cons: Could do with replacement of both the front and rear engine mounts as well since they're also old and were not replaced with the other two mounts (Note, this is not essential. It's merely a recommendation). I never quite got around to it. But they're 25 dollar parts and a few hour DIYs. The result is occasionally, especially when cold and the engine has just started, there is a little bit of vibration. Other times it's absolutely smooth inside the car. The shift is a bit rough feeling as well when cold. That's cause the mounts that are new are doing all the work and they're not that pliant when cold. But this is in no way a mechanical fault on the car. I had the car driven by mechanics who said this is one of the smoothest and best running 20 year old car they've seen. My personal mechanic said that he wishes everyone looked after their car like I did. At the time of the drive I was told that the transmission mount would need to be replaced. But the right side engine mount was done as an elective. The other two mounts if replaced would probably make this car drive like new. And there is a whiff of gas due to a corroding filler neck pipe. It's a 65 dollar part and a 2 hour DIY. I could do this myself, but never got around to it since again, doesn't affect the car. In fact, only smells when the car is full to the brim in gas. Otherwise, no smell and runs perfect. Burns around .5-1.5 quarts of oil in 3000 miles. VERY normal for these cars. They all do it. And it's actually normal for cars to burn a bit of oil so this isn't unusual but I thought I'd mention it. No smoke though, at least nothing that would be considered out of the ordinary. The car's engine is still smooth and it seems to be getting better on the oil consumption since switching to Valvoline Maxlife. Lastly, paint isn't in the best shape. But the car is solid. I did what I could to prevent further oxidation and aging of the paint and metal. The car is very very clean and doesn't look too bad. I've put a ton of cash in to the car during my ownership (Well over 2000 dollars). In fact, I'm losing money selling this car. But i need a better car for the winter. I just wanna recoup some of the money I sunk into this car. Trust me, even at this price I'm losing money so don't expect to get this car for nothing. I am practically giving the car away for free. I just want some of the repair money back. That is all. I don't want anyone to think this car is unreliable. It's a TOYOTA COROLLA! these things run till you die first! and the only reason why so much money was spent was due to timing belt and clutch replacement! big cost there! but the car never stalled, broke down, over heated or left me stranded. EVER. She took me to Connecticut and back in a single day, no rest. No problems. Again, this car was good enough to receive a 1800 dollar offer. I'm sure you will appreciate this car. It will move fast! So if you're in the market for a very well kept cheap little car that will SAVE YOU MONEY GUARANTEED then don't let this little gem get away! I didn't list all the things I've done for this car! Trust me, it's worth it! Will throw in Haynes manual with car. And air filter, as well as oil filter. The car isn't pretty, but it is VERY CLEAN. I have applied clear coat to keep the car from rusting further. Currently the car has no rust, is clean and has no problems whatsoever. I'm selling this car because I got a better and newer car. When I think of selling it after only 10 months of use with all the money and repairs done, I feel like I want to keep the car but frankly can't because it would be impractical to insure 2 cars for just me. So come on over and see this little gem! Exterior isn't great, but interior is MINT and super clean! The car gets around 26 mpg in the town. Up to 34 MPG highway. I typically got 32 however. And this car is dirt cheap to insure! Reach me at 8-four-5 five-4-five 55-two-5 Please no spam, scam or paypal deals, or cashier's checks or whatever. This is a cheap car. So come with cash in hand and inspect the car yourself. This is a great little car and I promise you that you won't be disappointed! |

Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86
Wed, 26 Jun 2013On 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.
Recharge Wrap-up: 1M Lexus hybrids, Best Buy Geekmobile goes Prius
Wed, Apr 13 2016Cummins is developing a plug-in hybrid system for heavy trucks. Its plug-in system for Class 6 trucks (those with a gross vehicle weight between 19,000 and 26,000 pounds) is expected to improve fuel economy by 50 percent. Funded in part by a $4.5-million grant from the US Department of Energy (DOE), the system will use a battery pack and some form of range extending internal combustion engine. The system will employ various drive cycles in order to help commercial fleets save fuel based on their needs. Read more at Gas2.

2013 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Practice Day 3
Thu, 27 Jun 2013The third practice day of the 91st Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is done. While the other classes got running time on the middle and top sections of the course, qualifying times were set on the bottom section of the course for the Open, Open Wheel, Electric, Exhibition and Vintage classes.
Everyone managed to keep it on the black stuff today, Greg Tracy setting the fastest time ahead of Hiroshi Masuoka, both men driving the Mitsubishi MiEV Evolution II four-wheel-drive prototype. Not even half a second behind Masuoka came Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima in his Monster Sport E-Runner, who has taken about 18 seconds off his time since the first practice day. Rod Millen was the fourth fastest on the day in his Toyota TMG EV POO2.
Topping the Open Wheel class was Clint Vahsholtz, followed by Donner Billingsley, Andy Figueroa and Rodney O'Maley. The only driver in that class not to be given a time today was Dan Novembre. Kenshiro Gushi took the Exhibition class today as his Lexus IS F CCS-R made it up the mountain in 4:27.248, followed by Sage Marie in the Honda CR-Z at 5:19.591. Simon Pagenaud and his Honda Odyssey weren't classified.
