1991 Toyota Mr2 Turbo on 2040-cars
Springfield, Massachusetts, United States
1991 MR2 Turbo
Title in Hand 5 Speed, adult owned. Never driven in rain or snow. 99% rust free chasis Leather interior 91,xxx on odometer. Power everything More in depth: Engine: JDM Gen 2 3SGTE Starts/runs great. Maintenance kept up with No known issues Only modifications done to it: Greddy BOV, side mount intercooler, walboro 255lph fuel pump, egr block off plate and a megan exhaust. Due to the EGR blockoff plate being installed, the check engine light is on. Comes on during driving and not at idle. I belive to pass inspection all this car needs to be able to pass is safety due to it's age. The engine runs just fine and there is no concern to be had. Drivetrain: 5 speed. Haven't checked if it's the one with LSD or not. Shift smooth, though clutch master feels weaker than it should. New rear wheel bearings. Suspension: Suspension could use an alignment, as the front inner and outer tie rods are fairly new. As it is, it's not too far off. Wheels/tires: Rims are on spacers, and from an RSX. Tires in the front are pretty decent shape, Dunlop SP wintersport m3s. The rear tires are brand new Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSI Body: The body metal wise is in fantastic shape, no rust except on the bottom of the drivers side door. However, the clearcoat is peeling, and the red is faded in a few spots, thanks to the Florida sun. There are areas where the paint is even chipping. This is the only thing that takes away from the car besides the aftermarket front bumper. It still needs aligning, and the corner light is missing. Have a replacement home made one ready to mount. Headlights are HID, and fog lights work perfect. The windshield has a hairline crack in the middle (check pictures) Interior: Interior is in pretty decent shape. The drivers side leather seat is FUBAR, and has a cover on it. The passenger side seat is pretty rough. I have the cover for it, just never put it on. Other than that dash and interior panels are in good shape, minor imperfections. The interior is complemented with a Greddy Barometric Boost Gauge, Grant GT wheel, JDM gauge cluster, HKS Turbo Timer, and an Eclipse CD-3422 head unit. Switch to the electric fans as well. Ttops do leak a little, and come with interior covers. This is an awesome car, that's plenty of fun to drive. However with a family and 2 other cars I'm trying to finish, this is the least practical one to own for myself. I'd like to see it go to a good home, as I've barely driven it since ownership, and have done my best to maintain it. A VIN check on the car shows an odometer discrepancy. I have no idea as to why, as the odometer matches the title, and was not told about this upon registering (usually the registrar will bring this up). The only thing that comes to mind is because of he engine/cluster swap. Also it should be noted with the vin check there is an accident report on it. The front was scraped pretty bad but no frame damage was sustained. The car will come with books to the alarm which needs to be programed, original Toyota books, leather cased thing for the factory jack, and several new parts that were not needed. |

Toyota's Lentz says fuel cells are the future, not EVs
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota is not bullish on EVs. That comes from the company's North American CEO, Jim Lentz, who said the company will focus not on electrification, but on continued hybridization with a long-term focus on hydrogen fuel cells.
Lentz questioned the long-range ability of EVs, saying that Toyota feels "there are better alternatives, such as hybrids and plug-in hybrids, and tomorrow with fuel cells." Lentz spoke about Toyota's focus on hydrogen following Forbes Brainstorm Green conference and barely a week after a battery deal between Tesla and Toyota ended, according to Automotive News.
That deal provided for 2,500 battery packs for the Rav4 EV. While valuable to Toyota, the deal "was never about open-ended volume," Lentz said. "It was time to either continue or stop. My personal feeling was that I would rather invest my dollars in fuel cell development than in another 2,500 EVs."
Toyota sells off Tesla shares, too
Fri, 24 Oct 2014The incredible rise of Tesla's stock price has done little to now stop two major shareholders from ditching their stake in the American EV manufacturer. First, Daimler, parent company of Mercedes-Benz, ditched its four-percent stake, and less than a week later, Toyota is doing the same thing, selling off an undisclosed bit of its Tesla investment.
The move comes as Toyota winds down sales of the RAV4 EV, which gets its batteries and electric motor from Tesla at the company's Fremont, CA factory.
"We have a good relationship with Tesla, and will evaluate the feasibility of working together on future projects," Toyota spokesperson Kayo Doi told Bloomberg via email.
BMW i5 could get Toyota-sourced hydrogen power
Tue, 18 Nov 2014It's starting to feel like the automotive landscape is right on the cusp of a boom in hydrogen-fueled vehicles. After all, the Toyota FCV is nearly ready, Volkswagen is readying a fuel cell concept for this week's Los Angeles Auto Show and Hyundai already sells its Tucson Fuel Cell. The next big name to add to that list might be BMW, as the company's co-development deal with Toyota starts to bear fruit.
According to Autocar, BMW may use a version of the fuel cell system from the Toyota FCV in the future i5. As part of its eco-oriented i sub-brand, the i5 is expected to be a stretched version of the i3 (pictured above) with extra rear legroom and cargo space. It's unclear at the moment whether a battery-powered pure electric powertrain will also be available. If accurate, then the rumor could give the Bavarian brand a counterattack against Mercedes-Benz' planned fuel cell vehicle in 2017.
BMW and Toyota first signed the memorandum of understanding to co-develop fuel cells, lightweight technology and a sports car back in 2012, and they made the arrangement official in late 2013. So far, few details on the progress of the work have been disclosed, but the performance model has been rumored to use a front-engine, all-wheel drive layout with supercapacitors.
