1987 Corolla FX16 - 10.4:1 compression ratio - 40mpg

This car is 95%. It really just has minor scratches and needs to be vacuumed out and washed well. There is no rust and the car is solid. The interior is in very good shape. 

This chassis has about 227,000miles on it. The engine has 30,000miles on it with a fresh rebuild. The head was milled 0.035" and the block was milled 0.005" for a total of 0.040" which brings the dynamic compression ratio to around 10.4:1. I was working as an engineer at Honda even though I am a Toyota guy at heart. While I was working there I wanted to build a fuel efficient version of the 4AGE. The car has adjustable cam gears and has been tuned to give great drivability and good fuel economy. Driving medium I get around 34mpg everytime. Driving hard, the lowest I have gotten is 30mpg. Driving conservatively I have gotten 41mpg. 

It has custom built coilovers made by the same company that manufacturers Selex suspension. Very high quality. I paid almost $1600 just for the suspension. The springs are 8/6 kg which is what TRD specifies. This car handles like a race car. Very incredible. The dampening is two way adjustable. The height is adjustable from what is in the pictures about 3inches up or down. I wanted to slam the car a bit more than it is in the pictures, but have not had time to work on it. Camber plates front and rear with a fresh computer alignment done just last week. 

The clutch is fresh upon install of engine 30,000miles ago. O2 sensor is new, distributor o-ring needs to be replaced. 

Transmission is in great health. Shifts well. Drives very well. Fresh Redline gear lube.

The grill that is on the car is not the original. I have the original which is not broken. Winning bidder will get it. I have just been saving it to make sure it stays in good shape. The car has a CD player installed, but I also have the stock radio for it. Winner can have both.

I have driven this car back and forth between Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, and Massachusetts several times since the rebuild. It drives phenomenal. I got this car from Washington state and have taken very good care of it since it has entered my possession. 

I also have an extra hatch, complete driver's side and passenger side doors, basically a complete extra 4AGE longblock that was run with low oil and needs a rebuild. I also have tons of parts like intake and exhaust manifold, AFM, extra front stock front seats in pretty good shape, timing covers, cam gears, etc. Winner can have any/all of this stuff they want at time of pick of car. I don't remember exactly what I have, but there is a lot. It must be taken at time of pick up of car. 

I also have the original shocks for this car in good shape and the car can be converted 100% back to stock anytime. 

This is a great car. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. 

This car is being sold as is. No warranty. Please ask questions before bidding. Bidders with zero feedback must contact me prior to bidding or their bids will be cancelled. $500 deposit is due at the time of the end of the auction via PayPal.  I will be happy to get $3400 for this car, but I think it is worth $4000.  No reserve. Happy bidding. 

Full payment is due within 7 days of end of auction unless prior arrangements are made with me prior to the end of the auction.

Toyota releases teaser for Kaley Cuoco Super Bowl ad

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Toyota has released a 35-second teaser video for its upcoming Super Bowl spot staring Kaley Cuoco, the actress best known for her role as object-of-nerd-affection Penny on The Big Bang Theory. The real star of the ad, however, is its soundtrack, the 1995 hit "I Wish" by rapper Skee-Lo that will have your mind cashing nostalgia checks the moment it hits your ears.
We still don't know much about the content, plot or story of this Super Bowl commercial, though we can say that its object of promotion is likely the new RAV4 we see Ms. Cuoco driving in this teaser. The rest of the time she's walking the street in a purple getup granting wishes like Robin Williams on a Disney sound stage. And then the Easter Bunny and a chihuahua enter the picture and we get lost. Clint Eastwood under a bridge this is not.
But hey, Super Bowl ads cost millions and millions of dollars to produce and air, so we trust that Toyota spent its money wisely and will have us ROFLing on game day. Until then, scroll down and witness for yourself the debut of Kaley Cuoco as a Toyota spokeswoman.

Tesla pulling plug on Toyota RAV4 EV battery deal

Mon, 12 May 2014

The future of the Toyota RAV4 EV appears to be in doubt. Tesla supplies the EVs battery packs, and it says that production ends later this year.
"Toyota is expected to end the current RAV4 EV model this year," Tesla said in its quarterly financial filing obtained by Bloomberg. "Our production activities under this program are expected to end in 2014," the company said.
This timeline fits closely with the original production plans for the RAV4 EV. When the $100-million project was first announced, Tesla said that it expected to supply battery packs for the vehicle from 2012 to 2014. Building components for the Japanese automaker continues to bring in money, though. In the company's Q1 2014 letter to shareholders, it said: "Automotive revenue included $15 million of Toyota powertrain sales." According to Bloomberg, Toyota has sold just 1,594 RAV4 EV models from 2012 through April 2014. Initially, the business had estimated that it would sell 2,600 units of the electrified crossover.

Toyota unintended acceleration lawsuit settled for $16M

Mon, 08 Apr 2013

Slowly, the many loose threads still dangling after the unintended acceleration issue Toyota faced a few years ago are being resolved. The Orange County District Attorney's office was believed to be the first DA's office to take Toyota to court, its suit alleging that Toyota knew its cars had defects and continued to sell them. The suit sought to "permanently enjoin Toyota from continued unlawful, unfair, deceptive, and fraudulent business practices as it pertains to both consumers and competitors" and asked for $2,500 "for every violation of the Unfair Business Practices Act," plus costs.
That suit has now been settled, Toyota - without admitting fault or wrongdoing - agreeing to pay $16 million to the county. Half of the money will go to the Orange County Gang Reduction Intervention Partnership, another four million dollars to the OC DA's office to investigate economic crime, the remaining four million being used to pay for the case.
