After numerous showings/emails/texts/phone calls etc, I wanted to update this ad with more info.

This Supra started life as a pampered NA 5-speed Supra for the first 105k miles of it's existence.   Roughly 8 years ago, the transplant was completed (professionally), from Non-turbo 5-speed to TT- 6-speed(Getrag).   The 2JZ-GTE  engine saw no more than factory boost limits (~11.7psi) for nearly the entire life of the current engine(up until about 200 miles ago).

The car has the complete NA-TT swap minus the rear brake calipers.  The only reason is that ultimately I might have put a set of 15" drag wheels on the car, and the TT rear calipers don't work with these anyway, so the NA rear calipers remain.

All other standard NA to turbo parts have been converted(Front TT calipers, driveshaft, rear end, LSD,etc.).

Currently the Car is running a single turbo conversion, and is at ~500rwhp.  The car is on stock fuel and ECU, and the clutch has a "stock feel".  This makes for the perfect street Supra.

If you ever driven or owned a Supra with 800+hp, it sounds great on paper, but is simply not "streetable".

This car has the best of both worlds....Perfectly streetable--drives like a stock Supra....with a ton more "punch".    And is ready to go to the next level (give it AEM EMS and a Fuel upgrade and you're at 700+hp).

Please see the numerous pics below, but I would describe the car as followed:

Exterior-
The car was repainted in the Factory Renaissance Red, a few years ago.  The paint/sheen etc. look great, but there are a few chips(up front--hood and front bumper), and random door dings,etc(~10).  All the dings, could be repaired using PDR (paintless dent removal)  From 12+ feet away the car looks perfect.  As you get a little closer, you start seeing things that could use correction.  There is a 1" x 5" scrap on the front bumper cover (pass side, below light).

Interior-
This was the selling point of the car for me.  The is my 3rd MKIV, and I've also owned 3 Lexus SC300 cars.  As you start looking at cars that are 15-20 years old, the overall condition can vary two-fold.   This car clearly was garaged its entire life, as you can tell by the interior.  There is some slight sun-fading in the dash (it spent numerous years in AZ).  But overall the interior looks fantastic for it's age.

Motor-

The car does emit a little blue smoke on start up, which is the value steam seals (very common GTE issue).  I wanted to make sure that health of the motor is good however, so I just took the car in to get a compression and leak down test.  Both tests came back perfect!(formal documentation can be sent upon request).  Brand new plugs were just gapped, and installed, and the coilpacks were checked for any cracks (again..no issues).  As stated above this engine wasn't abused, and never pushed beyond 12psi.  Exact mileage of the engine is unknown, but approximate mileage is 50-60K.  In addition, the mileage of the chasis (138,200) is actually high.  The rear gearing wasn't swapped till about 2 months ago, so it was reading ~30% incorrect.  I estimate the actual mileage of the car at ~128K.

Items of attention-

1.  The rear power antenna is broke off at the base (all Toyotas/Lexus's with this style antenna eventually break......poor design).  The car has a App Radio, so it uses your cellphone to stream musics (Pandora, etc), so I never bothered to fix the antenna.
2. The rear tires are brand new, but the fronts could use a replacement in the near future (the car has been stored for 4 out of the last 5 years, on these tires).
3. The cruise control was deleted with the 98 steering wheel swap.  All compenents were retained, so it could be added back.
4. Since the car was lowered, with widened wheels, there is a small amount of rubbing over large bumps, etc.  Very common issue with any modified car.
5.  There is a small oil leak coming from the oil pan.
6.  The airbag light in on
7.  The power door lock actuators don't seem to work. (easy fix, but never got around to it).

Shipping/trades/financing:

1. I will sell the car internationally, if  the buyer pays all expenses, and completes payment via bank wire.   I live in Colorado so shipment to any "Port" city would have to be paid for at the buyers expense.  I will also ship the car to anywhere in the US (again the buyers expense---Uship is actually very reasonable), but payment would have to be made via Cashiers check, or bank wire.

2. I'm not accepting any trades at this time.

3. Financing-  MKIV Supras are between 16 and 21 years old.  You typically cannot finance these cars "traditionally".   I"ve personally used JJBest, as they will finance any Classic or Specialty vehicle with 20% down.   Also Credit unions typically are a better bet than large banks.

Toyota to offer sedan version of GT 86?

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

Sources in Australia are reporting that we'll be seeing a small, rear-drive sedan from Toyota, based on the GT 86/Scion FR-S. Yes, a convertible variant is still in limbo, but a four-door sedan is in the works. It's unclear if the rumored GT 86 sedan would spawn Scion and Subaru variants (it's hard to cross all ten fingers while you type, but we're having a go).
Working with remarks made by the car's chief engineer Tetsuya Tada in his blog and a rendering from Japanese magazine Holiday Auto, the Australian site Motoring is claiming that the new model's wheelbase will grow about four inches over the current GT 86's 101.2-inch wheelbase.
Besides the larger overall space between the axles, the sedan will offer a more potent engine option over the current 2.0-liter, flat-four. Promising 268 horsepower, which is a big jump over the current car's 200 ponies, the new powertrain will be derived from the Hybrid R setup, shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show. If, like us, you're reaching for the salt, and we don't blame you.

Toyota highlights JDM Mark X with special Yellow Label edition

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

Never heard of the Toyota Mark X? That's because the Japanese automaker only sells it in its home market (and in China as the Reiz). It's a rear-drive (or all-wheel-drive) sports sedan about the size of a Lexus IS, whose existence is probably why Toyota will never bring the Mark X to North America. The current model has been on the market since 2009, but Toyota is rolling out a series of updates - including the new Yellow Label model pictured here.
Available on the 250G, 250G Four and 250G S trim levels, the Yellow Label gets a special shade of Awaken Yellow paint (though it can be had in black, white or silver as well), with an interior decked out in either yellow or black. It also gets piano lacquer trim, yellow stitching, pink gold accents, special tread plates and other interior equipment upgrades, as well as a unique set of alloys. All of which makes the Toyota Mark X Yellow Label perfect for recreating scenes from Kill Bill without the need to squeeze into yellow leathers. (In fact we wouldn't be surprised to see Toyota doing just that for a promo clip.)
Power comes from a 2.5-liter V6 (and not the larger 3.5 available on the 350S model) channeled through a six-speed automatic to either the rear wheels or all four. Pricing ranges between 2.8 and 3.1 million yen (~$26-30k), representing a premium of about 106k yen ($1k) over non-yellow models. Toyota operates four distinct dealer networks in Japan, and the Mark X is sold through Toyopet stores.

Toyota sells off Tesla shares, too

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

The 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.
