Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States

 Vehicle purchased in Reading, PA in 2006, so it has quite a bit of rust. Has had suspension replaced all the way around, but could use new bushings and swaybar end links. Has newish brakes in the front (within the last year), and comes with a set of brake pads and rotors for the rear. E-brake stopped working in 2013, but I haven't had a chance to jack it up to see what's wrong. Speedometer stopped working in 2009, but comes with replacement speedo cable that I never had a chance to install. Car comes equipped with cruise control, but it doesn't work without a functioning speedometer. Car comes equipped with air conditioning, but it hasn't functioned since I bought the car. I will include two canisters of the original refrigerant, if you can figure out why the system doesn't work.

After-market head unit, rims, and K&N cone filter will be left on the car.

As far as I can tell, this had a repaint at some point before it got to me. It wasn't an especially good repaint and could stand to have a complete tear down and repaint done properly, if you plan to keep it on the road.

I'm also including a set of two BRAND NEW, never even been mounted, straight out of the box bumper skins. I bought these directly from the dealership for $400 then never got around to installing them. These are no longer in production from Toyota and sell for $250 each online.

Additional parts included!
  • Repair manuals (both Haynes and factory repair manual, aka BGB)
  • Spare 87+ Tail Lights
  • Spare ECU
  • Spare side vents (one 85/86 and one 87+)
  • Brand new Raybestos Brake Rotors and ProStop Brake Pads for rear
  • 3 partial sets of side markers, including a partial set of clear markers
  • Boxes of misc spare parts from two previous parts cars
  • 2 sets of spare "triangles" for inside door mirrors
  • Spare front dash speaker covers
  • Spare "cassette" holder (goes between seats)
  • Spare gauge cluster and bezel
  • Spare glove box lid
  • Spare center mirror
  • Spare center ash tray and cigarette lighter
  • Original air box from engine bay (has been replaced with K&N cone filter)
  • Spare lug wrench set
  • Spare front air dam
  • 2 spare rear window "TOYOTA" visors
  • Spare C-Pillar trim
  • Spare factory side skirts (partial set only, missing the two small pieces)

Toyota engineer warns automous cars could increase fuel use, urban sprawl

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

An increasing number of people are starting to consider the potential downsides of a transition to autonomous cars. The FBI is already looking at them for the potential ill effects on law enforcement, and a scientist for Toyota is raising the possibility that driverless vehicles could actually be detrimental to the environment over the long term.
Ken Laberteaux, who studies future transportation for Toyota, thinks that autonomous cars could lead to more pollution, not less, says Bloomberg. However, Laberteaux's theory isn't so much based purely on science as it is considering behavioral and historical trends. "US history shows that anytime you make driving easier, there seems to be this inexhaustible desire to live further from things," said Laberteaux during a presentation at the Automated Vehicles Symposium in San Francisco, CA, cited by Bloomberg.
Laberteaux's belief is that if commuters can make their drives easier, then they will be more willing to live farther away from the cities where they work. The end result would be more urban sprawl and increased pollution from the longer travel times.

Toyota sizzle reel gives better look at i-Road Geneva concept

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Toyota is taking the tiny tandem Tango to Tron town. In a teaser video for the new i-Road, debuting at the Geneva Motor Show next week, we catch a light-bike-like glimpse of Toyota's quirky tandem-seat concept. We still don't know much about the vehicle itself, but the video does flash the words "fun, compact, emissions-free," which suggests this is an electric ride. Then comes the apparent tagline: "i Roll, i Rock i Road." An indication that the tilting image we see in the video isn't just a special effect, perhaps? We'll have to wait until we get to Switzerland next week to find out. Until then, you can watch the video below.
In more earthly reveals, Toyota will also show off its hotly anticipate FT-86 Open sports car concept and Auris Touring Sports wagon on its Geneva show stand.
