Up for sale is my 1985 Toyota MR2. I originally purchased this car November 11,2012 as a project car. Mechanically the car was in good shape but I wanted to go through it and replace items that I thought should be replaced. I purchased the car with 89,600 original miles.. This was a sentimental purchase as I had purchased an original 1985 MR2 the first year of production and wanted to buy another one almost 30 years later!!! I do find that it was easier to get in and out of 30 years ago, oh well, age sucks!!


I completed the following items:

1. Full tune up including plugs, wires, filters etc.
2. Replaced Timing belt and water pump, new coolant
3. Replaced Battery
4. Replaced the parking brake cable with OEM units, "very expensive"!! Had to do this to pass inspection.
5. Replaced OEM Sealed Beam headlights with Hella US DOT H4 units, so they are legal in the US.
6. I primed and resprayed the aluminum trim with special Dupli Color trim paint since the old paint had faded badly, I also painted the rear view mirrors with Krylon plastic paint as they had faded as well.
7. The only item I didn't have fixed was the A/C, it needs a recharge and just haven't gotten it done yet. Compressor turns on and off just doesn't blow cold.

I then replaced the original wheels and tires with Drif Z wheels and 195/50ZR15 Falken ZiexZE912 Tires, currently have about 1000 miles on them
I then took the car to a body shop to have the rear quarters rebuilt and repainted. I actually had everything repainted with Toyota Super red except for the front hood, front fenders and top.. The paint matches perfectly as the painter I used is very meticulous. There was some rust but not extremely bad like other cars I have seen.I left the front fenders alone as they had been resprayed prior to me having the car. There is a slight rust spot on the lower front fender but it is surface rust so I left it alone.I also installed an original rear spoiler that I had purchased, it was used and had to be completely reworked  and resprayed, it now looks perfect!! You can see from the pictures, this car is in great shape both visually and mechanically. The interior is near perfect, there is a small blemish on the vinyl radio surround which you can see in the picture. I replaced a couple of missing plastic rivets in the headliner and really can't find anything else wrong. Seats show very little wear and really are amazingly clean.Radio works fine but I really don't listen to it as I love the sound of the engine!! Car shifts and steers tight, the only thing I haven't done is replace the struts. They probably should be done due to age but aren't really giving any trouble. I have the receipts for the work that I have done, but the previous owner didn't. The previous owner was the original owner, so this is a two owner only car. It has a current Virginia state inspection, so everything checked out. This car has a clear VA. title, I will not accept bids from 0 feedback bidders so don't even bother. Please, serious buyers only, I hate playing games!! I have prided myself on quality listings and honest descriptions, I have tried to be as detailed as I can.  I am selling now as I am looking for another project car, I have had a couple before this and just enjoy buying fixing and re-selling.

Japan's government gives hydrogen vehicles a big boost

Tue, Jun 3 2014

The Japanese government is really paving the way for hydrogen fuel cell technology on its roads. Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry is changing regulations on fuel tanks to make hydrogen cars more appealing to drivers, which should help put the country ahead of others in the race to develop a viable H2 fleet. Japan is raising the allowed pressure of hydrogen tanks from 700 atmospheres to 875, which has the effect of increasing driving range by 20 percent. This move puts the country in line with others with high-pressure fueling regulations. Japan is also in talks with the United Nations and the European Union to streamline inspection rules to make it easier to export Japan's fuel-cell vehicles. Toyota premiered its hydrogen-powered FCV Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show last year and plans to release a production version as early as next year. Honda also plans to build its own fuel-cell cars for 2015, and it debuted its FCEV Concept at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show. Nissan is sending mixed messages on hydrogen, both questioning the availability of a refueling infrastructure and working on developing the vehicles. In Japan, a relatively small country, increasing the range of fuel-cell vehicles makes creating a usable infrastructure a bit less daunting. Will hydrogen-fueled electric cars see the same sort of success as Toyota's Prius hybrid or battery-powered EVs? Only time will tell, but we can keep our fingers crossed that it will, and that the popularity spills over beyond Asia.
