 CLEAN 1985 CELICA SUPRA FOR SALE- NO RESERVE, AUCTION STYLE LISTING!! More pics of the interior are coming, I apologize. Also, autocheck reports that it was titled in 2001 and at that time it was reported "not actual mileage." Utah is kind of funny about odometer requirements on older cars and there is no verification whatsoever done by the state on odometers. I CAN PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THIS CAR HAS 208,000 ORIGINAL MILES. The odometer works and always has, and as far as I know I got the car from the original owner.

This supra is in very good condition for the age and mileage. While it is by no means a show quality car, it is a very clean driver or base for a restoration. These are getting harder to find and only increasing in value. Great investment in a classic Japanese sports car. This car is the "P" or performance package, which had wider wheels, fatter tires, fender flares, and a few other distinguishing features.

The motor was rebuilt in 2001 (top end, head gasket, water pump, timing belt) and it was parked that year upon the death of the owner. It sat until 2014 when I went through it and got it running. The tank and injectors have been cleaned, new fuel pump installed, fuel filter, lines etc as well as a complete tuneup. It also has a new battery. It runs perfectly with no hesitation, bogging or misfiring. It sounds great and pulls strong. It has a newer exhaust all the way back. I had plans to save it from storage and restore it, but  all I have done is get it driveable. It will still need tires (they have great tread, but are old.) Probably rear shocks, and some minor work here and there but all in all it runs and drives great and is a strong reliable runner. The clutch feels strong and the transmission feels nice. It is a rewarding car to drive.

The body: The body is clean and straight. There are no missing or broken trim pieces. No dings or dents. The only noticeable flaw is the drivers front marker lens is cracked. The car has been repainted (probably in the 90s) but looks to be a fairly thorough paint job. All the doorjams etc look good and the paint still shines and feels smooth. There is some minor surface rust near the gas filler door, but none elsewhere. Undercarriage has minor surface rust as well but really nothing concerning. There is no rust on the body or undercarriage that I would consider "rot" or un-repairable.

The interior: Interior is clean and nice. Minor wear on the outer drivers side bolster and arm rest. Other than that the interior is a 9/10. Dash is un-cracked, headliner is clean, carpets are good, and nothing is missing or broken. It comes with the original carpet mats and original rubber mats. It has an aftermarket cd player that was installed in the 90s with a kenwood equalizer. It is wired for subs, and there is a kenwood amp underneath the passengers seat. The drivers seat has a small air bladder with which you can inflate different sections of the seats to suit your preference. They really are comfortable sporty feeling seats.

As far as I can tell everything works including the A/C and heat. The car is equipped with cruise control which is a somewhat rare option on 5-speed performance packages. All gauges function correctly.

Aside from the car, this is what is included:
2 factory rubber mats
2 factory carpet mats
an un-opened leather bra for the car
2 sets of keys
original owners manual
spare tire
toolkit

Impala crashes into Land Cruiser... to hide from a cheetah

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

What would you do if a wild animal jumped into your vehicle through an open window during an African safari? What if said animal was an impala being chased by cheetahs? Though the scenario seems unbelievable, that's just what happened to a group of tourists in Kruger National Park in South Africa, and it was all caught on video.
With the tour groups stopped, a motorist with a video camera handy happens to catch the unlikely sight of a herd of impalas (not that kind of Impala) jumping over the tarmac while being followed, quickly of course, by two cheetahs. The feline predators thought they had cornered one impala and were closing in for the kill when it jumped through the open window of a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado - South Africa's version of the Lexus GX. Fortunately for the occupants of said vehicle, the cheetahs did not follow.
A short while later, one of the occupants in the Toyota fearlessly opens a door to let the poor animal out. It must have been its lucky day, because the cheetahs didn't take pursuit. Check out the circle life get interrupted by this traffic jam in the video below.

Toyota raises Japanese base wages for first time since 2008

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

Toyota is on track for record profits, and in return, its Japanese workers are receiving their first increase in base wages since 2008, plus higher pay based on seniority and a larger bonus for 2014. The Japanese automaker predicts the average laborer will net a 2.9 percent income gain.
The average Toyota employee will earn 2,700 yen ($26.28) more each month, a 0.8 percent increase from last year. Workers will also receive about 7,300 yen ($71.09) more monthly based on seniority and promotions. Finally, the company's union pushed through a median bonus of 2.44 million yen ($23,768) for 2014, the highest in 6 years.
The pay boost comes as Toyota forecasts a record 1.9-trillion yen ($18.5 billion) profit for the fiscal year ending on March 31, according to Bloomberg. It has been helped by the Japanese government's efforts to weaken the yen on international markets and expand inflation. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been asking businesses to increase compensation to end years of deflation and offset upcoming higher sales taxes. Honda and Nissan have also raised their wages there in recent months.

Vote to unionize Toyota Canada plant faces delay

Fri, 04 Apr 2014

Volkswagen isn't the only automaker with high-profile unionization efforts afoot at one of its North American factories. Unifor, Canada's largest private-sector union, is attempting to organize Toyota's factories in Ontario, reports Reuters. A vote was originally set for next week, but Unifor has apparently found more workers eligible to vote, delaying the proceedings. It hasn't rescheduled the ballot yet, but claims there are 7,500 employees with the right to vote, with over 3,000 having already signed union cards.
Toyota is pushing against organizing, saying that workers already have a payment and benefits near the top of the industry, and noting that it has never laid off a permanent employee in Canada. Unifor has reportedly countered by saying that about a quarter of the workforce is operating under a temporary contract, which receives lower benefits.
The automaker has three factories in Ontario - two in Cambridge and one in Woodstock. To form a union, a majority of eligible employees must vote to join Unifor. If successful, they would be the first wholly owned Toyota plants in North America to be organized. Previous attempts to unionize the Japanese automaker's Canadian factories in 2001 and 2008 failed due to lack of support.
