1993.5 Toyota Supra Turbo(single) 6-speed on 2040-cars
Golden, Colorado, United States
**Updated 7/10** 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- Interior- 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. 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 temporarily idles pair of Indian plants due to labor unrest
Thu, 20 Mar 2014The Detroit News reported today that Toyota will restart production at two Indian plants, following a shutdown on Monday.
Factory labor, management and police in Asia engage in the kind of violent altercations that we're not used to, having almost entirely walked away from the overtly brutal relations epitomized by the Pinkerton Detective Agency and the Flint Sit-Down Strike. In India, a plant owned by a Ford transmission supplier plant was shut down in 2009 after incidents between workers and armed men around the same time as Ssangyong workers occupied a factory in South Korea, in 2012 Suzuki Maruti workers rioted over wages around the same time upset employees beat a ceramics factory president to death in retaliation for a labor leader's killing.
Toyota is the latest to company trying to avoid that road. The Detroit Free Press reported earlier this week that it shut down two plants in India after 11 months of acrimonious wage negotiations and arbitration have gone nowhere. Toyota said the plant workers in Bidadi, near Bangalore, had deliberately stopped production at times over the past 45 days and threatened management. The workers said they wanted their wages raised by an amount already agreed to by management, but that management had reneged; news reports weren't clear on the amount, some saying nearly 10,000 rupees ($165 US) more per month, another saying 4,000 rupees ($65 US), but reports agree that Toyota has said it will only go as high as 3,050 rupees ($50 US).
Despite slow sales, no new Scion models in near-term pipeline [w/poll]
Mon, 09 Sep 2013According to a top Toyota executive, the Japanese automaker will not be introducing any fresh Scion models in the near future, Reuters reports. As of August, Scion sales for this year were down 1.6 percent from 2012 and accounted for only 0.3 percent of Toyota's overall US sales. And last month, Toyota Motor Sales USA Senior Vice President Bob Carter informed the 1,000 dealers who carry Scion that they can drop the brand without penalty.
However, never fear - Carter has assured that, while nothing new is coming for at least six months, the company is still very committed to the quirky Scion brand. Toyota launched Scion, which targets the youth market, in 2003, and sales peaked in 2006. The brand currently has five models, with the 2013 best-sellers being the FR-S sports coupe followed by the tC sedan and xB hatchback.
What do you think about Toyota's decision to hold off on introducing new or refreshed Scion models? Are they heading in the right direction, or does this spell doom for the funky Gen Y brand?
Jim Lentz exposes more details behind Toyota's move to Texas
Fri, 02 May 2014Toyota's North American CEO Jim Lentz has already given us a rough idea of what prompted the company's surprise move to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX from its longstanding headquarters in Torrance, CA. A new story from The Los Angeles Times, though, delivers even more detail from Lentz on the reasoning for the move, what other cities were considered and why the company's current host city wasn't even in the running.
Of course, one of the more popular reasons being bandied about includes the $40 million Texas was set to give the company for the move, as well as the state's generous tax rates. According to Lentz, though, the reason Toyota chose Plano over a group of finalists made up of Atlanta, Charlotte and Denver, was far simpler than that - it was about consolidating its marketing, sales, engineering and production teams in a region that's closer to the company's seat of manufacturing in the south.
"It doesn't make sense to have oversight of manufacturing 2,000 miles away from where the cars were made," Lentz told The Times. "Geography is the reason not to have our headquarters in California."
