This is a rare custom converted FJ80 to a 1HZ Toyota diesel with a 5 speed manual transmission and 2 speed transfer case. The donor vehicle was a 1991 Toyota FJ80 with 238k miles on the chassis that was owned and well-maintained by a boeing engineer in Seattle. The diesel drivetrain is a 1HZ Toyota 6 cylinder from Australia, the mileage on the motor is approximately 115,000 miles. The conversion was done by a journeyman mechanic in Alaska. These motors are not turboed, therefore they are absolutely bullet proof (google it). However, they can be turboed if you've got the money. Current mileage on the rig is just over 250k. Compression numbers are strong. The head was replaced with a brand new head, head gasket and valve job. The injectors were rebuilt, a new water pump was installed and an upgraded K&N air filter. The injection pump was just rebuilt by H&H diesel in Seattle with new vitron seals that are compatible with US Ultra low sulfur diesel. There is a dual battery system with a battery isolator switch and a BlueSeas battery isolator that charges the starting battery first then the auxiliary battery. The front hubs, bearings and seals were recently rebuilt and run smoothly. Both differentials, the transmission and transfer case have new synthetic fluids. The rig gets around 20 mpg highway. It has brand new tires and rims, and 3inch Old Man Emu left kit. Brand new stereo with blue tooth/mic and Aux hook ups. The rig is registered in California as a diesel. There is no rust on this vehicle. The only reason I am selling is because I have too many vehicles. The vehicle is currently located in Eureka, CA. However, I will deliver it to the Bay Area with a good non-refundable deposit. If you want to have it checked out I will take it to Ponci's Diesel in Fortuna CA, at your cost, I don't trust anyone else, sorry. The rig is in perfect shape. Email me if you're interested. |

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.
2014 Toyota Corolla gets marginal IIHS small overlap crash test score [w/video]
Fri, 04 Oct 2013Toyota may have performed some major surgery on the 2014 Corolla, but that hasn't helped the Japanese automaker overcome tough new crash test procedures. The Corolla, Toyota's bread-and-butter compact sedan, managed only a Marginal score on the new small overlap crash test, which was just added last year.
Despite the low score, the Corolla performed well in the moderate overlap front, side, rollover and rear testing, which was enough to score it a 2013 Top Safety Pick. In testing in August, six of the Corolla's competitors earned the Top Safety Pick + award, for good or acceptable scores across the board.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Corolla's "Marginal" score was down to an "intruding structure," that could cause injuries to the lower left leg. There was also concern that in a collision, the driver's head would move after hitting the air bag, and collide with the A-pillar or dash.
Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values
Tue, 18 Mar 2014We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.
