Sadly the time has come to sell my beautiful 91 MR2 Turbo. She only has 89k original miles and was purchased in California. She has always been garaged and has been very well cared for. I'm hoping she will go to a good home and to someone who truly loves these rare cars.

I bought her last winter as a summer project but my priorities have changed and I am being forced to make a decision between selling my Z06 or MR2. The things you do for your future wife. haha.

As you can see from the pics she has crimson red paint and black interior. She also has t-tops that do not leak. I have multiple cars so my toys are never ever driven in the rain. The exterior is in fantastic condition with a few small scratches here and there (I can walk you through any imperfections over the phone). The only negative is a paintchip/crack on the rear engine bonnet. This part can be repaired or replaced with minimal cost as it is just the bonnet. The interior is in great shape as well. A few imperfections here and there but nothing out of the ordinary for a 91. I also have almost new original floor mats which will be included in the sale. I recently replaced the alternator and belt with new Denso parts less than 10 miles ago. She recently also had an oil change as well. Battery has been tested and is in perfect working order. She also has electric power steering.

Modifications include: Carbon Fiber front hood w/hood pins. 18" black wheels w/polished lip. HKS Boost gauge installed in stock boost location in the cluster. Racing seats offer great support over stock. Pioneer CD/MP3 player. HKS VPC. HKS Turbo Timer. HKS bov. UICP. Upgraded Turbo (Ill check the brand). K&N filter. Exhaust and Downpipe. Plugs/wires. AN braided SS fuel line. 550cc injectors. Supra fuel pump. I will add to the list if I forgot anything.

I would recommend the owner replace the tires. I would rather the new owner have their choice of tires as oppose to me picking a new set. There are a few things I am working on before the sale. She currently has a low idle which is adjustable using the HKS VPC. She also has a vacuum leak causing boost to build slow. I am hoping to correct these issues before the sale if possible. However if the new owner wants her as is I will gladly negotiate the price accordingly. She also could use a shift boot (I can procure a stock one if the new owner likes). Only other thing is that the AC belt has been removed. This has never been an issue for me but I must be upfront in my ad.

Other than above she is a fantastic car that needs very little to be perfect. She will also be well cleaned and detailed before sale as expected.

Clean and clear Michigan title and will be sold with 2 keys and any extra parts I have.

I am willing to negotiate with serious buyers. Please do not waste my time and I promise not to waste yours. I am open to reasonable offers.

If you have any questions please contact me on my cell. Please feel free to call anytime.

Thanks for your interest.

Nick

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.

Toyota Camry re-earns CR 'Recommended' rating following crash tests

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

All is right again in the Toyota kingdom. The Japanese manufacturer's bread-and-butter sedan, the Camry, has been put back on Consumer Reports' "Recommended" vehicle list, following improved performance in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's crash testing.
You'll recall that the 2012 and 2013 Camry were infamously booted from the list due to "Poor" ratings in IIHS' notoriously tough small-overlap crash testing. Toyota vowed - just last week actually - to fix the ratings. As the Toyota brand's head, Bill Fay, said last week, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that."
Now, though, those redesigned cars have been tested, earning an "Acceptable" rating in the overlap testing. According to Consumer Reports, Camrys built from November 2013 on feature new internal structures that improve the car's crash test scores enough to make it a "Recommended" buy. IIHS has also elevated the car back to a position in its Top Safety Pick category, although it falls short of the new gold standard, the Top Safety Pick + rating.

Toyota produces millionth truck in Texas

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

After going online in 2006, Toyota's San Antonio, Texas truck plant has just built its one-millionth vehicle, the 2014 Tundra 1794 Edition you see above. The plant originally focused on just the Tundra pickup, but the smaller Tacoma started rolling off the line there in 2010, as well.
Fittingly, the 1794 Edition (a new premium trim level for 2014) pays homage to the property on which the Toyota plant now resides - a ranch that was founded in 1794. Scroll down for the official press release for the plant's milestone, and be sure to check out the full gallery of Tundra 1794 Edition images as well.
