Here it is..... one of the most sought after cars ever built!! Toyotas rare 4x4 wagon with a six speed manual and a BRAND NEW REBUILT ENGINE ***** WITH WARRANTY***** The Engine was professionally installed by A-One Japanese Auto of Auburn Wa. This engine has 11 months left on a one year warranty. So, even if it drips one tiny bit of oil, if your not happy you can take it in and they will fix it!!!! This car is a rare rare rare find in this condition. The interior is so nice for a car this old its actually kinda weird ( sorry I never vacuumed when I took pic's but its clean now :) the headliner is amazing with no tears which is just strange for rigs this old and being a wagon. There are no cracks in dash or other interior parts....drivers bottom shows some wear but no holes.  Way awesome the windshield is perfect!!!  stock antenna intact, original hub cabs and wheels, original floor mats, and even the stock original tire iron and bag!  I swear this rig was left in a barn for years or something to have this type of stuff still be so nice. The car only has 181,000 miles on it.....and get this ***** NO RUST****** that screams good deal alone... finding a tercel with no rust saves thousand$$$ in time and money.     Usually these rigs are rusted through. The 4x4 works great and drives like brand new! I also installed a brand new Weber DGEV 32/36 carburetor to give it a little more kick..... new carb call s for more stuff  so  I also purchased the top of the line rotary Carter fuel pump and Weber fuel regulator to be installed that go with the new upgraded Weber carb ( you get to install this ....one hour and your done) .    90% on the tires, brakes have full life and work great. Car drives awesome and shifts great for a old rig. This rare car even comes with the original manual!! body is straight except for a small dent in rear back driver side door that can be easily pulled pushed out by removing panel.....plus it comes with the side SR5 molding to replace the one that got the sr5 smudged off.   All the hard labor intensive stuff and mind boggling detective work finding parts has been done on for this rig. Priced to sell!!!! the rebuild alone cost me $2500!!!!and this was no friends Uncle Rico that a mechanic in his garage...this was a professional outfit that specializes in rebuilds that did the work. The paint could use a real good waxing and just a few little dings here and there that is to be expected.  Glass, is perfect all around.  the Interior is 8 or 9 /10!!!   under carriage is 10/10 body 8/10....   The "To Do's"  has one little broken amber turn light that you can buy on ebay for $5.00 and that's it......  a little elbow grease on the driver window regulator...... a new thermostat ( $7.00 and one screw)..... needs a radio, and maybe some love to the muffler.  I recommend getting a RamFlo air filter and getting rid of the PCV valve ( I also added the valve breathers to do this)  Other than ONE day of tinkering its perfect!!!   I can deliver to Seattle if you need or want it shipped.  Please message me if you have any questions.  I want you to buy with confidence.


Oh...Subaru's suck!!  :)

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.

LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.

Toyota to ramp up Tacoma production in Mexico by 41%

Sun, 21 Sep 2014

The Toyota Tacoma may be getting on in age, but that isn't stopping the Japanese manufacturer from ramping up production at the pickup's Baja California factory. The Mexican plant will soon be home to another 300 jobs as it increases total capacity by 41 percent. The increase is slated for April 2015.
The move is a curious one, considering the Tacoma's age and the fact that General Motors is preparing what, on the surface, appear to be two very competent challengers. The factory increase could be in preparation for the 2016 Taco (spy photos shown above), which is expected to represent a significant overhaul of the long-serving truck.
Toyota's decision to increase capacity could also be due to the factory building freeze implemented by President Akio Toyoda, according to Automotive News. Toyoda put a hold on new factories until 2016, asking executives to squeeze as much production as possible out of remaining factories before bringing any additional facilities online.
