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-
The car was repainted in the Factory Renaissance Red, a few years ago.  The paint/sheen etc. look great, but there are a few chips(up front--hood and front bumper), and random door dings,etc(~10).  All the dings, could be repaired using PDR (paintless dent removal)  From 12+ feet away the car looks perfect.  As you get a little closer, you start seeing things that could use correction.  There is a 1" x 5" scrap on the front bumper cover (pass side, below light).

Interior-
This was the selling point of the car for me.  The is my 3rd MKIV, and I've also owned 3 Lexus SC300 cars.  As you start looking at cars that are 15-20 years old, the overall condition can vary two-fold.   This car clearly was garaged its entire life, as you can tell by the interior.  There is some slight sun-fading in the dash (it spent numerous years in AZ).  But overall the interior looks fantastic for it's age.

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.
2. The rear tires are brand new, but the fronts could use a replacement in the near future (the car has been stored for 4 out of the last 5 years, on these tires).
3. The cruise control was deleted with the 98 steering wheel swap.  All compenents were retained, so it could be added back.
4. Since the car was lowered, with widened wheels, there is a small amount of rubbing over large bumps, etc.  Very common issue with any modified car.
5.  There is a small oil leak coming from the oil pan.
6.  The airbag light in on
7.  The power door lock actuators don't seem to work. (easy fix, but never got around to it).

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.

2015 Toyota Yaris to start at $14,845* and look like this

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Toyota released a new Yaris in Europe and its Vitz clone in Japan a few months ago, so we knew it would only be a matter of time before it would launch the new hatchback here in North America. And that time has come.
The new, more distinctive 2015 Yaris features far more aggressive exterior styling, a look set apart by that large lower air dam and X-motif front end. It rides on a retuned suspension hooked up to an altogether more rigid chassis, and Toyota promises it will ride more quietly and comfortably than the model it replaces. Inside the new model has additional soft-touch materials in a more comfortable cabin equipped with everything from a 6.1-inch touchscreen display to nine airbags.
The 2015 Yaris comes in both three- and five-door bodystyles, and three trim levels that seek to eliminate the need for options packages. In fact the only option to speak of is a dealer-installed nav system. Power comes from a modest 1.5-liter four with variable valve timing, dual overhead cams and sixteen valves, sending 106 horsepower and 103 pound-feet of torque through either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic.

Two new RWD Toyota sports cars to join FR-S?

Fri, 09 Aug 2013

Toyota as we know it could become a thing of the past. According to Australian site Car Advice, the Japanese brand known for bland cruisers like the Camry and Corolla is preparing to bring two new rear-drive cars to market that would slot above and below the Scion-badged FR-S. This is very, very good news.
Car Advice spoke to the GT86/FR-S' chief engineer, Tatsuya Tada, who claimed, "Akio Toyoda always says to me, Toyota sports car [family] should be three sports car brothers. 86 is in the middle." The oldest "brother" would be the spiritual successor to the Supra, even if it doesn't wear that name. Tada is in charge of that project, while a sub-GT86 project is being headed-up elsewhere.
Tada refused to comment on names (CA specifically mentions MR2 and Celica) for the new small car, but did say that, "Yes it is rear-wheel drive and that's Toyota's strong position - Toyota sports car must be rear-wheel drive." Perhaps the juiciest bit of information obtained from Tada's interview with Car Advice was his hinting that both new sports cars would be joint ventures, like the GT86/FR-S/Subaru BRZ triplets. Tada wouldn't say who Toyota was in bed with on the smaller model, but did mention that the Supra would be a product of the world's largest automaker's partnership with BMW.

Toyota profits up 23% on high US sales, despite mounting legal costs

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Toyota earned $9.3 billion in net income in the financial year that ends next month. The number beats earlier forecasts and marks a five-year high for the automaker, with both operating income and revenue up by 9.5 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively. Toyota saw quarterly profit enjoy a year-on-year jump of 23.4 percent, with the manufacturer earning more than $1 billion between October and December 2012. The good news comes in spite of the fact that the Japanese automaker actually endured an operating loss in North America, due in part to legal fees.
Toyota is set to pay more than $1 billion to owners who claim their vehicles decreased in value as a result of the company's recent spate of recalls. Even so, all three of the automaker's brands enjoyed a 13.5 percent sales increase in the US in the last quarter, beating the industry average. Toyota faltered in Europe, however, where it earned $99 million in operating profit last year, compared to $111 million in 2011. You can take a closer look at the company's full press release below for more information.
