*Disclaimer THIS IS NOT A SHOW CAR*

I have had this car just over 3 years and have enjoyed every moment with it. I am now married, my life has changed, and its time for me to let her go. True GTS with factory diff.

This is a pretty solid car that does need some work but still runs and drivers fantastically. STRONG 16V motor rebuilt about 30k miles ago.

The good: (new(ish) parts/service)

timing belt was done about 30k miles ago

Injen cold air intake 2 years ago
greddy coilovers 3 years ago
Techno toy tuning short shift kit last year
full fluid change in trans and diff last year
cusco front strut bar

Steel braided brake lines (last year)
rear pads/rotors this year
header/hks muffler (2 years ago)
side windows/ windshield re-sealed (damn water leaks) last year

personal steering wheel with NRG carbon quick realease hub (2 years ago)

The bad:

the body. I had the car painted 2 years ago and i would say its a 5 out of 10. Shortly after I had it painted the car got pelted by hail and it is still visible in parts of the roof where the PDR guy could not get the dents out. It is also visible on the pillars. The roof had some touch up work by Carnica and you can definetely see a blend line. There are dents and scratches around the car as well as the formation of some rust. Again it is not a show car and it is 29 years old.

The speedometer is not working. i swapped out the speedo cable to no avail so I am not sure what the issue is. Tach and other guages work fine.

trunk key is different from ignition and door key
passenger side door lock works fine but looks like someone tried to pry out the lock previously (before my ownership) so it looks a bit ugly

I get some water seepage with heavy rain in the rear window. I honestly have just not felt like tearing that all apart for the few times I do see some moisture.

Kouki front bumper that is zip tied on. I was NOT crazy about the correct brackets to fit this bumper. The STOCK full length from bumper is installed with kouki bumper ziptied over but it does not fit all that well. I will include the JDM brackets if you would like to swap them out.

No radio antenna but I really never listen to the radio

dash has a crack in the center

The ugly:

NO INTERIOR. no carpet, rear seat, roof liner, etc. Stock passenger seat with corbeu belts and no name seat for driver (NOT adjustable) with g force 5 point belts.

The ring and pinion are getting pretty noisy. Its time for service on the ring and pinion which is honestly one of the reasons I am looking to sell the car. I feel like as little as I am driving the car I might just let the next person deal with the issue and sell the car cheaper.

Oil pan gasket is starting to leak BUT nothing significant (no puddles etc just a wet pan)

Take a look at the car in person if you like. I live 15 miles north of downtown Chicago. If there is something I have forgotten I will certainly update the description accordingly. Feel free to ask questions about the car. I have the reserve set at what I want to sell the car at. If I cant meet my reserve I will just keep the car. Please do not ask what the reserve is just bid what you think the car is worth.

I have a set of spare valve cover gaskets, master cylinder rebuild kit, pop up headlight (both are working now) and caliper rebuild kit, speedo cable, and whatever else I can find that I will include with the car.

Chrysler, Nissan minivans earn 'dire' crash test results, says IIHS [w/video]

Fri, Nov 21 2014

First introduced in 2012, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's small-overlap frontal crash test has become the bane of many auto engineers' existence. It's a particularly steep design challenge because it forces just 25 percent of a vehicle's front end to take the brunt of a 40-mile-per-hour impact. The newly released results of four family-minded minivans underscore just how difficult the crash test is: only one scored an Acceptable rating, and the other three did very poorly. The 2008-2015 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan, plus the 2011-2015 Nissan Quest, all received Poor ratings in the test, the IIHS' lowest possible score. The three of them showed significant crash intrusion into the driver's area. The dummy in the Nissan actually had to be cut out of the vehicle, with an IIHS spokesperson remarking, "the structure collapsed like a house of cards." In the Fiat Chrysler Automobile vans, the steering wheels moved out of the way, making the airbag less effective and letting the driver's head hit the dashboard. While it was not actually crashed, the agency is also giving the 2009-12 Volkswagen Routan a Poor score because it shares a structure with the FCA models. The newly released results of four minivans underscore just how difficult the small-offset crash test is. The refreshed 2015 Toyota Sienna (shown), conversely, earned an Acceptable rating and is also a Top Safety Pick+ because of its optional forward collision warning and automatic braking system. While the crash test dummy moved around during the impact more than the agency would have liked, sensors showed a low risk of injuries. The IIHS tested the Honda Odyssey last year, and it earned a Good overall score, the agency's best ranking. It's also a Top Safety Pick+ vehicle. The only member of the minivan segment left to test is the latest Kia Sedona, and the Institute is reportedly waiting a little longer for Kia to make changes to improve the model's performance. When reached for comment, Nissan spokesperson Steve Yaeger provided Autoblog with the following statement: "Nissan is committed to vehicle safety and believes that consumers should have information about crash protection so they can make educated buying decisions. Nissan is proud of the 2014 Quest's "good" rating in the IIHS front moderate overlap and side impact tests as well as a "good" head restraint rating.

Weekly Recap: Hyundai scores NFL sponsorship after GM exits

Sat, Jul 4 2015

Hyundai replaced General Motors as the official automotive sponsor of the NFL with a four-season deal that was announced this week. Hyundai gets exclusive sponsorship rights for mainstream and luxury cars, though not for pickups – as it doesn't have one in its current portfolio. "There may be another automotive truck sponsor, but not one that competes with our vehicle lineup," a Hyundai spokesman said in an email. That leaves the door open for another truckmaker to enter the fray. GM used the NFL to promote its GMC division, which makes pickups and sport-utility vehicles. The Detroit automaker decided to quit the sponsorship, which it had held since 2001, a GM spokesman said. Financials were not released, but ESPN said the sponsorship will cost Hyundai $50 million a year, double what GM paid. It gives Hyundai access to NFL trademarks for use in its marketing and advertising, and Hyundai will provide promotional vehicles to the league for the Super Bowl and other events. Hyundai celebrated the agreement by lighting up its Fountain Valley, CA, headquarters this week with a football field and the NFL logo. Hyundai's sister company, Kia, is the official automotive sponsor of the NBA. "We are huge football fans at Hyundai and feel there is no better venue to reach consumers, increase consideration, and tell the Hyundai brand story," Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowski said in a statement. Hyundai will officially kick off its sponsorship when the NFL season begins on Sept. 10 with a primetime game featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.

Toyota Mirai hydrogen car on sale in Europe by end of summer

Fri, Mar 6 2015

Want to see Toyota hydrogen fuel cell vehicles cruising down the Autobahn? It could happen as soon as September. Benz and Bimmer drivers, beware. The Japanese automaker, which started hometown sales of its hydrogen fuel-cell electric Mirai in December, will expand distribution of its first mass-produced fuel-cell car to Europe by September. The first three countries Toyota is targeting are the UK, Denmark and Germany, and the price will be 66,000 euros ($73,000). The caveat, of course, is that this is going to be a low-volume affair (a maximum of 100 cars per year for this year and next) and that the rest of the Continent won't get the Mirai until 2017. Toyota, which is showing off the Mirai at the Geneva Motor Show, will start California deliveries of the Mirai later this year, pricing it at $57,500 for those who want to buy and $499 a month for those who prefer to lease. Toyota also said in January that it would bump Mirai production to about 2,000 units in 2016, up from 700 this year. Toyota is spending about $168 million for that production increase, necessitated in part by the European plans. The Mirai delivers 153 horsepower and has goodies such as lane-departure alerts and collision-avoidance systems, along with the zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell powertrain, of course. Check out Toyota's press release below.

The Geneva motor show is its first public display in Europe. The Mirai2 signals the start of a new age of vehicles. Using hydrogen - an important future energy source - as fuel to generate electricity, the Mirai achieves superior environmental performance with the convenience and driving pleasure expected of any car. The Mirai uses the Toyota Fuel Cell System (TFCS), which features both fuel cell technology and hybrid technology, and includes Toyota's new proprietary FC Stack and high-pressure hydrogen tanks. The TFCS is more energy efficient than internal combustion engines and emits no CO2 or pollutants when driven. Drivers can also expect the same level of convenience as offered by gasoline engine vehicles, with a generous cruising range and a hydrogen refuelling time of about three minutes3.
