1986 TOYOTA SUPRA
This is a nice mk3 supra up for bid. I have over 15 years of experience with these cars, and if your looking at this your probably familiar with them. I had an opportunity to pick this one up and couldn't refuse due to its all original condition and how clean and complete it is.
The story i was given was that the previous owner had a neighbor that bought this car new, an older couple that garage kept it and when they got to old to drive he the "second owner" got the opportunity to buy it. The original owners are from a nice area in Kendal, Miami The second owner had it for the past 3 years and although his main residence is in California he has a place in Miami and kept it there for a car to use when in town and eventually in hopes for a 2jzgte swap but never got the chance. Not sure how true the story is but the car speaks for itself.
I picked the car up in Miami and drove it back to Melbourne with no problems. Once again I am familiar with these cars and very consciences about them. My plan was to get it to the shop go through it correct any problems and offer it to the next enthusiast. I really enjoy these cars and its rewarding to fix repair or customize them and get to use it until it sells. I don't do this often unless its worth it.
After using the car and finding a few problems and correcting them I am confident the new owner will fall in love just like i did. It needed a TPS sensor which was effecting it automatic shifting pattern. Needed an fuel level sender repair and it started do develop a miss fire which was caused buy a leaking valve cover gaskets that allow oil to fill in the spark plug valley. I installed valve cover gaskets grommets and some fresh Denso platinum spark plugs. I cleaned the engine bay up and boy does she look good.
I have a few more things on my list that i would like to do but may or not get to it prior to sale. Its up for some windshield wiper blades. A light bulb on the third brake light is out, Its missing the plastic engine undertray and the tires although in excellent condition are flat spotted due to it sitting, they are getting better and i re-balanced them but they are still out of round. I want to express that these are the only items that have issues. Nothing that would keep this from being driven as i am driving it every day.
The other issues are cosmetic both plastic bumpers are faded and the rear has some scuff and dent (see picture) Paint still shines but is not perfect has some scratches and a few blisters in the moldings but great for a 20 plus year old car. Also the interior is awesome no rips tear cracks or smells. The only defect is the leather wrapped steering wheel has faded.
OK on to the good things, car is solid right down to the pinch rails, This car has the sport package with TEMS electronic suspension and LSD with a 4.30 gear ratio very desirable. With this package and being a hardtop without ABS make it a very solid rattle free car, and desirable for the ever so popular engine swaps for these cars. This car runs so good that you can actually drive it save for a swap and enjoy the fun. Please feel free to ask any questions about this car and be assured that there wont be any disappointments out side of this description.

Why Toyota Camry's Korea Car of the Year win is a big-time upset
Tue, 26 Feb 2013The 2013 Toyota Camry is officially the car of the year in Korea. The country's motoring press graced the Japanese sedan with the honor for the first time, officially marking a shift in prevailing Korean attitudes toward Japan and its products. According to industry analysts, buyers in the country are no longer simply choosing their purchases based on whether or not they're made in South Korea, but rather based on quality and personal choice. That's a big jump from a few years ago, when buyers viewed their purchases through a patriotic lens.
The Camry managed to edge out a total of 44 other cars, including hardware from both Hyundai and Kia, to become the first foreign vehicle to take home the Korea Automobile Journalist Association's Car of the Year award. As The Detroit News points out, just 10 years ago, domestic manufacturers held some 99 percent of the Korean car market. But a change in trade regulations has opened up the country considerably, and buyers now have access to a wide range of products from around the globe. As a result, Hyundai and Kia have countered by cutting prices in an attempt to keep their grip on the market.
Toyota launches updated Verso-S in Europe
Wed, 14 May 2014Globally, the Toyota Yaris has bred more variants than we can shake a stick at. It's been known in different markets as the Vitz, the Platz, the Bella, the Vios and, to us, as the Echo. The first-generation model bred a small cargo van called the Yaris Verso - a mini minivan riding on the shortest wheelbase in its class - which was renamed the Verso-S for Europe and alternatively known as the Space Verso, the Ractis, the Ractis Verso and even the Subaru Trezia in certain markets. And now Toyota has launched a revised version of its Verso-S in Europe.
Arriving as a mid-life facelift after three years on the market, the new Toyota Verso-S has been reinterpreted through the "Keen Look" design language that's been distinguishing the latest generation of Toyotas, particularly in the European market. That means new projector-beam headlights and LED daytime running lights, a reshaped grille with chrome surround, more LEDs around back, a fresh set of 16-inch alloys and new color options.
The interior has likewise been spruced up with new trim and color choices, as well as a tire pressure monitor fitted as standard. There's a new touchscreen display with more connectivity options, upgraded nav and a rearview camera as well. Since Toyota's made no mention of engine upgrades, until we hear back, we have to assume the 1.3-liter inline-four and 1.4-liter diesel engines carry over unchanged with the buyer's choice of either a six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission.
Toyota engineer warns automous cars could increase fuel use, urban sprawl
Fri, 18 Jul 2014An 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.
