Hello All, I bought this car almost 2 years ago. If you are serious about this type of car search 1ZZFE oil burning. Anyway, I bought this aware of the issue due to its terrific body and condition. I had the motor completely rebuilt. This included new bore, pistons, rings, oil pump, timing components, crank polish, all bearings and wear items, A valve job was done also. This was at approx. 71000. After completion, it runs perfect. I drove it that way for 1000 miles or so, and noticed it revved excessively on the highway, so I looked for solutions.

I bought a brand new Toyota 6 speed trans that is an exact replacement. You can research this on Monkey Wrench Racing. This includes a Limited Slip Differential. It made all the difference. It is much more relaxed on the highway now and is now 6 speed with all genuine Toyota parts. I changed the clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, slave cylinder and surfaced the flywheel at that same time ( approx. 72000 miles) using OEM parts.

Within the last 1000 miles, I replaced all brakes and struts. The tires are getting near time for replacement. They have ample tread, but are getting old. I don't remember exactly how old the tires are, but I think they are over 5 years old. I did not list each and every maintenance item I changed while working on it, but rest assured, if it was a wear item, I changed it. This car is extremely reliable and so much fun to drive. It is very light, so it handles great!!

I really enjoy this car, but it is one of many vehicles I own, and storage and insurance are becoming a burden. Every item works as it should, and it recently passed NJs stringent inspection testing.

I recently purchased a hardtop for this, but did not yet buy the mounting kit. It is on there with 2 of the 6 hard mounting points. It will not harm it being on there as long as it isn't driven without the mounting kit. The top has a value of approx 2000, so the buyer can recoup some of the price if it is sold. The top was shipped to me from a friend in England. This is a Toyota factory top ( ROW got hardtop option) and is in excellent shape. I have also bought a new Clarion stereo with Sirius and Bluetooth for this car, but never installed it. It is new in box. I bought it so I can talk on the phone when I drive. I will include these with the purchase.

If you have any questions email me or call at 800-421-9494 X7128 M-F 11-8 Eastern

Momkhana goes drifting with a V8 minivan in the 'burbs

Thu, Feb 19 2015

Ken Block probably never expected that he would launch countless imitators when he released Gymkhana years ago, but by now we've seen the concept broadened for everything from toy cars to Crazy Carts. The latest parody is Momkhana, and it moves the setting to the suburbs for a trip to the shoe store. Before you completely write off the idea, though, keep in mind the vehicle making the commute is a drift-happy, rear-wheel drive Toyota Sienna boasting an LS3 V8 with an estimated 550 horsepower. The significant increase in muscle certainly makes a drive to the strip mall a lot more entertaining. In addition to the engine transplant, the minivan gets a massive handbrake to allow for big slides through the neighborhood. The clip replicates many of the classic stunts from Block's Gymkhana videos but in new, rather absurd surroundings. So instead of long, smoky donuts in a warehouse, they happen at the end of a cul-de-sac. If you're curious to see how the video was done, Famous Footwear, which created the clip, also made a featurette showing off some of the van's preparation and filming behind the scenes.

Toyota Aygo stars in 'invisible driver' prank

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

We love a good automotive-themed prank. Rémi Gaillard remains a favorite, although maybe we should take a closer look at MagicOfRahat, another online prankster. Rahat, who has developed a bit of a reputation for blending in with car seats, giving the impression that there's no one behind the wheel, has taken his talents to Europe, in a new video for Toyota.
Dressed to look like the seat of the new Toyota Aygo, Rahat goes about town freaking out tollbooth operators, valets, fast food servers and even receiving a bit of unwanted attention from the police. The result is, as is usually the case with this prank, pretty darn amusing. We were kind of hoping he'd pop up and give his victims a fright, as he did in his Halloween video, but alas, that wasn't to be.
Take a look below for the full video.

Toyota might stop importing certain models if tariffs imposed

Fri, Jul 20 2018

In case you hadn't heard, the entire automotive industry, both domestic and foreign, is very much against the automotive tariffs proposed by the Trump administration. And while the industry is lobbying hard against such tariffs, companies are also having to consider what to do in the event they are passed. CEO of Toyota's North American operations, Jim Lentz, told Bloomberg that the company will certainly be reconsidering its strategy in the event of tariffs between 10 and 25 percent the cost of the car. He told the news outlet that, depending on how high the tariffs are, Toyota might just increase the price of some models, or stop importing them altogether. Toyota does build a large number of its cars here in the United States. The Toyota Camry, Avalon, Tundra, Highlander, Sequoia, Sienna models are all built here, as well as some Tacomas, Corolla sedans, and Lexus ES sedans. Many of those vehicles are big sellers for Toyota, too, so that's good for the company. But many other Toyotas are built outside the country. The Toyota RAV4, Prius range, C-HR, Corolla hatchback, Land Cruiser, 86, Yaris, Yaris sedan, Mirai, 4Runner, and the entire Lexus line are built in other countries. Some of these imports we're sure are safe no matter how high the tariffs might be. The RAV4 is the company's biggest seller, and the Prius sells well, too. Even if the Prius wasn't selling so well, the company would probably still sell it simply because it's an image builder. Somewhat related, we imagine Toyota would continue offering a handful of Mirais. The 4Runner, C-HR and Corolla hatchback would probably be safe, too. If these models stick around after potential tariffs are imposed, expect their prices to increase. But in the Toyota line, anything that's not selling well and has tight margins is probably doomed. Chief among them are the French-built Yaris hatchback and the Mexican-built Yaris iA sedan. Both cars have terrible sales, and being low-end cheap cars, they'll only sell worse with higher prices, and Toyota will lose money if it has to eat the tariff. The 86 is a similar situation in which it's a niche vehicle that has had weak sales and is being sold at a relatively low price. The Land Cruiser could go either way. It sells in small numbers, but it's already extremely expensive and continues to sell. Buyers might not be put off by spending some more.
