1987 Toyota Mr2 3s-gte Turbo Project on 2040-cars
Longwood, Florida, United States
|
I have a 1987 MR2 for Sale, This is for a Non Running Project Car. I bought the car with intention to fix it up, but after getting a second job, It has been neglected, and I don't want the car anymore. The car is swapped with a 92 2nd Gen 3S-GTE out of an SW20 MR2 Turbo.
Pros- Decent paint, some Minor scratches and chipping but no clear damage. Interior is complete and in good condition. It's Ice Blue, with one minor dash crack. Included in the sale will be all of the black interior panels I've sourced for an interior swap. Easily worth another couple hundred bucks. The Transmission and motor were freshly rebuilt. They both had around 500 miles, no documentation, when I bought the car. The Clutch is a Stage 2 Yellowplate Drag Clutch, Short throw shifter installed as well. Transmission shifts beautifully. Rust Free Body. Rear Plastic C Pillar Trim is still there. If you know MR2s, you will know that's the first thing to go. Block was Rebuilt with Wiseco Pistons, Aluminum rods, Port and polished head. Again going off the PO, there is no Documentation. Cons Blown Headgasket, I think. It doesn't run, and 3S's are known to go through headgaskets. I unfortunately never got to take a good enough look at it to determine what caused it. The Bay is fairly dirty. One of the rear tires has trouble holding pressure. The Car is currently sitting on 17 inch rims, they rub. I'd recommend 15s. IT DOES NOT RUN. Don't buy if you think you can drive it home. It is a project car in every sense of the word However if you know anything about Mk 1.5 swaps you know this is the easiest way to get performance out of an AW11. 3S motors can be built to insane power, and the bottom end on this is rebuilt, going off what the PO had told me. The vehicle is listed for sale locally. I reserve the right to cancel this listing at any time before the end if it sells locally. |

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution
Sun, 30 Dec 2012The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.
Couple survives 50-foot fall from overpass in Toyota
Tue, 11 Feb 2014It doesn't matter the make or model - modern vehicles are technological miracles when it comes to occupant protection. Take this story out of New York City, which involved two people going for a very wild ride in a Toyota Matrix.
Carlos and Raquel Broadbelt were on the Cross Bronx Expressway overpass when they hit a patch of ice while dodging a pothole, sending them hurtling into a guardrail and over the side of the overpass. They fell 50 feet onto the road below. Despite the catastrophic accident - and the mangled Toyota - both driver and passenger walked away. The couple spent a night in the hospital just for observation.
The Broadbelts' miraculous survival has even surprised doctors, who told Dave Carlin from CBS New York they'd never seen an accident like it. Take a look below for the full news report from CBS New York.
2014 Toyota Corolla to bow before LA
Sat, 30 Mar 2013We've sort of been wondering when Toyota would finally debut the next-generation Corolla sedan, especially since the current car is getting very, very long in the tooth. We got a glimpse of the new compact's design at this year's Detroit Auto Show in the form of the Furia concept seen above, but we figured we'd see the production car by now.
According to Edmunds, Toyota will be unveiling the new Corolla sometime soon, and it won't wait until the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. Officials from the Japanese automaker did not state a specific location or date for the new car's unveiling, but said that the 2014 Corolla is expected to be on sale before the LA expo later this year and that it will be revealed "somewhere in the US."
Toyota did not divulge any details about the new Corolla, and we're willing to bet that the aggressive lines of the Furia concept will be dulled down quite a bit for the production model. Still, news that the new car is coming sooner rather than later is indeed a good thing.
