I simply do not have the time to enjoy this vehicle anymore, and would like to see it go to someone who will get good use out of it. This will make a great daily driver with just a little bit of effort. I would recommend replacing the tires and tie rod ends, as the vehicle has not been used regularly for quite some time. There is no rust other than the light surface rust that can be seen in the photos. The exterior trim pieces have recently been soda blasted (as seen in the photos), and are ready to be painted. The exterior paint is about 10 years old, and is in great shape for its age. As to be expected, there are a few chips, but nothing excessive. The paint on the rear two flares is starting to peel where they are bolted to the body. Two corners at the back bottom of the car about exhaust level are bent up slightly, but can be easily straightened. I do not have the emblems, original dash, or driver's side sun visor. Please note that the speedometer and tachometer are not hooked up currently. I've poured tons of cash into this car, and have put a lot of effort into sourcing rare parts. I've tried to showcase the car in it's entirety within these photos. This vehicle has attended TORC (ToyotaFest) a few years back, and has been taken care of very well. I have never seen another TE27 SR5 before, and probably never will. This is one of the straightest and most rust-free examples of a second gen Corolla around, not to mention one of the rarest. Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have!

Heavily updated 2015 Toyota Camry to bow in New York

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

Looks like the new, "more emotional" Toyota Camry designer Kevin Hunter talked about back in January is going to arrive very soon, with news that Toyota's bread-and-butter sedan will be getting an update in just a few weeks time at the 2014 New York Auto Show.
"On April 16 at the New York International Auto Show, we will make an important announcement about America's best-selling car, the Toyota Camry," said Curt McAllister, Toyota product news manager, in an emailed statement. Considering the high-profile nature of the NYAS - not to mention the competition that will be shown there - it makes sense that Toyota would choose to unveil something as significant as a major refresh at the Javits Center.
We wish we had more to tell you than this, but unfortunately, that's about all we've got to go on at this time. Of course, we'll have much more for you during the lead up to NYAS, including any leaks of the refreshed Camry. Stay tuned.

Toyota MR2 shows why we still love the 1990s

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

Was there a better time for Japanese performance than the 1980s and 1990s? It seems like looking back, Japan was on a roll, producing cars that were affordable, economical, reliable, fast and lightweight. And while all the attention is - thanks to a certain film series - focused on cars like Toyota Supra and Mazda RX-7, there is a lesser-known model that's establishing its own enduring legacy without the help of Paul Walker and Vin Diesel.
The MR2, affectionately known as the "Mister Two" to fanboys, first arrived in 1984 as a lightweight, mid-engined sports car that proceeded to eat the lunch of the Pontiac Fiero in terms of performance. That car was replaced in 1989 with the more familiar, rounded-out MR2, which is the subject of this latest video from the team at Petrolicious.
The video takes a look at a group of MR2 drivers, and attempts to explain what it is about the car that is destined to make it a future classic. Scroll down to see Petrolicious examine the MR2 Connection.
