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.

Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell coming to US Northeast in 2016
Sun, 16 Nov 2014Looks like someone was able to read the future back in July. That's when rumors first circulated that Toyota's upcoming fuel cell vehicle will be called the Mirai. Today, Toyota president Akio Toyoda confirmed the name alongside plans to build out a hydrogen refueling infrastructure in the US Northeast.
In Japanese, mirai (??) means "future," which is a fitting name for a car that Toyota believes represents the direction the auto industry will go in the coming years. In a promotional video announcing the name, Toyoda said, "For [Toyota], this isn't just another car. This is an opportunity - an opportunity to really make a difference. And making a difference is what Toyota is all about."
To help that future come into existence, Toyota CEO Jim Lentz also disclosed the vague outline of a fuel cell infrastructure investment that Toyota and partner Air Liquide will make in a five-state Northeastern corridor that consists of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island. The Mirai will be available there in 2015 and Toyota is going to build 12 stations in and around New York and Boston to support the launch. More details will be available later.
White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes
Fri, 07 Dec 2012At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
Toyota's Texas move could boost state's economy by $7.2B in 10 years
Thu, 15 May 2014They say everything is bigger in Texas, and apparently that includes the Toyota's effect on the economy. The giant Japanese automaker's new headquarters in Plano, TX, will add an estimated $7.2 billion to the state over the next 10 years, according to a new study commissioned by the city and cited by Bloomberg.
The benefits appear to be an absolute steal compared to the direct incentives that Plano and the state are giving Toyota. The report finds that by the time the automaker's campus is complete in 2018, it could have 3,650 full-time workers there at an average salary of $104,000. The city has prepared $6.75 million in grants, plus property tax discounts, according to Bloomberg. In addition to that, the state is offering the business $40 million in incentives from its Texas Enterprise Fund. This is still a fraction of what Toyota is estimated to bring in.
Toyota announced in April that it would move its US operations to Plano after being headquartered in California since 1957. The move affects thousands of employees from the sales and engineering divisions. The first workers will arrive there this fall, but Toyota will eventually have a whole campus in Plano by late 2017. The move is expected to save it huge amounts in taxation and offer employees a lower cost of living. Toyota North America CEO Jim Lentz also says that the Texas location puts the headquarters closer to more of the business' factories in the south. Texas certainly appears to be showing it some southern hospitality.
