1994 Toyota Supra Turbo - Dedicated Track Car 600hp on 2040-cars
Madison, Mississippi, United States
"Well sorted, dedicated track car - owned for past 10 plus years. No known damage, offs or excuses." I purchased this car from a friend that had shipped his car to Powerhouse Racing of Texas for a monster build. After many months he got the car back and did what most people do when it arrives back in their hands – looked for someone to sell it to as it wasn’t as interesting to own as it was to build. I took over this “drag queen” and removed the 6-point chromalloy cage, HKS triple clutch, huge turbocharger and high boost engine and started over. At least it had a brand new Toyota/Getrag V160 6-speed transmission and TRD LSD that were left over and kept. We used panel bonding to adhere the targa roof to the rest of the top and shipped it to Kirk Racing near Birmingham AL for a full DOM Steel roll cage including NASCAR bars on both driver and passenger sides and for the placement of the fuel cell. I asked for the “wife and kids plan” and got enough bars for two playgrounds precisely welded and reinforced shoehorned inside for a 4000 lbs car to crash at 100 MPH and hopefully walk away from. I then shipped the car to the famed Supra shop of Titan Motorsports in Orlando FL where Nero and his team mounted the seats, created the battery box, welded forced cooling plates onto the radiator and intercooler for maximum effect. They also did a nifty, low-drag cutouts job on the rear bumper, installed the J-spec gears in the diff, welded the steering column and mounted the battery disconnect. I then shipped the car to Performance Motorsports of Austin TX where Chris Johnson created a super sexy, high clearance and sweet sounding exhaust, custom brake ducts created, installed the catch can and modified the valve covers to accept larger crank vents to keep those high oil pressures from causing FMS failures. Back at home in Jackson MS is where the real work on taking all the base elements to the next level – fine tuning what was really needed to make such a beast thrive on some of the best road courses in North American. The engine was swapped for one with more torque and lower boost levels in mind, a smaller turbo sourced and a base tune on the AEM ECU. Track driving over the years has led me to change things that needed improvement or fixing including swapping pad combinations, creating a power steering cooler that would work and choosing the right fluids for the car. There was nothing more satisfying than showing up at a track day with your buddies, rolling the car out and almost never working on it other than swapping pads, wheels/tires and adding gas! Blasting by newer and more expensive exotics wasn’t too bad either! Hitting a “buck 70” on the back straights of Road Atlanta, smoking past full race car Porsche’s at Homestead or hanging with the Corvette gang at Barber is going to be missed but I’ve moved on to tracking motorcycles now … still it will be sad. I’ve got over $135,000 invested not including any maintenance. Don’t hesitate to contact me if I may be of help or to answer questions. I will deliver it in an enclosed trailer for FREE in a 400 mile radius with full payment.

Behold the mad genius of the Ferrari-powered Toyota 86
Thu, Jul 28 2016Ryan Tuerck's latest project, a Toyota 86 with the F136 V8 engine from a Ferrari 458, has to be one of craziest projects ever envisioned. While the finished project will be nothing short of extraordinary, Tuerck reveals some of the finer details on fitting a large Italian engine into a small Japanese car. One of the most difficult tasks with the engine swap is getting the V8 to fit in the 86's compact engine compartment. Since the V8 is taller and longer than the stock 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, Tuerck and his team have had to do a lot of cutting and fabricating. Tuerck also revealed that the vehicle wouldn't be used in competition, which allows the team to go beyond the rulebook in terms of body strengthening and custom components. There's still a lot of work to be done, but Tuerck claims the vehicle will be ready by October. Donut Media, the YouTube channel that is covering the build, promises to cover every aspect of the project including the first start, which should be coming soon.

Toyota investing $200M in Southern manufacturing
Sun, 23 Jun 2013Over the past two years, Toyota has invested more than $2 billion at its North American production facilities, and it apparently doesn't plan on stopping there. To keep up with recent strong sales, Toyota is investing an additional $200 million at its engine plants in the Southern US to increase production capacity of its V6 engines.
The bulk of this money ($150 million) will go to expand Toyota's engine plant in Huntsville, AL, which is currently responsible for supplying engines - four-cylinder, V6 and V8 - to eight of Toyota's 12 domestically produced vehicles. That includes the best-selling Toyota Camry (shown above).
Toyota didn't say exactly what improvements are being made to the plant, but this follows last year's $80 million investment in the plant that is set to be completed by next year raising the engine capacity to 750,000 annual units including 362,000 V6s. The remaining $50 million will go to the casting plants of Toyota-owned Bodine Aluminum in Missouri and Tennessee, which supply engine blocks and cylinder heads to the Huntsville engine plant as well as others in Kentucky and West Virginia.

Toyota's Bob Carter says far fewer stations needed in shift from gas to hydrogen
Thu, Feb 6 2014Toyota's Bob Carter has been talking about green cars for years, but it's only been recently that his comments have really caught widespread attention thanks to his disparaging remarks about electric vehicle supporters like Elon Musk and Carlos Ghosn and optimism about hydrogen. Speaking at the opening of the Chicago Auto Show this morning, Carter said that Toyota has claimed the "pole position on CAFE," thanks to its deep hybrid bench. The company's green car cred will continue to grow because of its upcoming hydrogen fuel cell car, due out next year. Carter is relentlessly optimistic: "I truly believe fuel cells will fundamentally change how we feel about transportation," he said. The reason, Carter said, is that a hydrogen infrastructure will be easier to install than people think. He referenced a study conducted by the University of California (which we've heard about before) that found that California would only need 68 hydrogen stations to refuel the roughly 10,000 H2 vehicles that Toyota hopes to sell in by 2016 or so. That's a lot more than the nine that exist today, but the state has already approved funding for 20 new stations by 2015 and then up to 100 by 2024. Then he said this: "If every vehicle in California ran on hydrogen, we could meet refueling logistics with only 15 percent of the nearly 10,000 gasoline stations currently operating in the state." "We could meet refueling logistics with only 15 percent of gasoline stations currently operating in CA" - Bob Carter This made us wonder: if the refueling time and range are roughly equivalent between hydrogen and gasoline – Toyota's hydrogen car is supposed to be able to go 300 miles on a five-minute fill-up - then why has the market decided that there should be 10,000 gas stations in California and why would 1,500 be sufficient for hydrogen? "If the locations are optimized," he said, "we don't need 10,000 stations." For example, at major intersections, instead of three gas stations, you'd really just need a single hydrogen one. "There are a lot of questions about the infrastructure, but it's coming. ... It's a hurdle that we've got to climb but it's not as steep as some may imagine." Toyota's Mike Michaels, the national manager, media and public affairs at Toyota Motor Sales, then stepped in to point out that there are gas stations closing and admitted that there might be too many gas stations in California.
