1987 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj60 on 2040-cars
Creswell, Oregon, United States
|
This is not your standard 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60. -The original suspension has been replaced with 3/4 ton Chevrolet suspension, with new shocks, lifting the body 26'' off the ground. 33' tires. -To compliment the new suspension the stock inline 6 cylinder has been replaced with a 1985 Chevrolet 6.2L diesel. The new power plant gives the Land Cruiser a lot more power and better fuel economy than the original engine. This Land Cruiser gets 20-25 mpg, and is a blast to drive. The engine recently has been through and tuned by the local diesel expert shop, 'Oregon Fuel Injection' (700$ service). -The roof rack was custom built for the vehicle. -The sound system consists of a Sony CD player, 6x9 speakers and two Pyle 10'' sub woofers. Lanzar 2000 watt amp. -The original jack and tool kit are still in the vehicle. -The trunk area has been bed lined and has additional tie downs added to the floor. -Super straight body, only two tiny dents on passenger fender. Body is rust and cancer free. This is a southern California car, only spent last 4 years in Oregon. The original manual and a 6.2l manual are included, along with a stack of receipts.
The bad: - The clear coat is wearing thin, could use new paint job. (we are a custom shop, and if a new paint job is desired, we can negotiate a price to have the cruiser painted before pick up) -The drivers seat fabric is torn, both front seats currently have seat covers to help protect them. -Carpet is old and a little worn. -Tinting on the windows is scratched in some areas This is a super sexy rig, that is practical and fun to drive. It is one of a kind and will turn heads wherever you go. Don't miss out on this rare find. Here is a video so you can hear it run and watch it drive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pojmJbEvU3I&feature=youtube_gdata_player

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
Toyota pondering high-performance GT86 hybrid?
Fri, 08 Mar 2013From what Autocar has to say, Toyota has even more plans for the GT86 beyond the convertible concept we just saw at the Geneva Motor Show. Along with a planned midcycle facelift, Toyota is reportedly looking at how to pack some extra ponies under the coupe's hood, and while there has already been a lot of talk about superchargers and turbochargers, it sounds like a performance-boosting hybrid system could also be in the works.
Talking to Toyota chief engineer Tetsuya Tada, Autocar has learned that the automaker is considering an electrical motor assist for the sporty coupe to improve performance without harming fuel economy. In attempting to keep weight - and, presumably, costs - down, the article mentions the use of a system closer to what Honda uses for its Integrated Motor Assist rather than a full Hybrid Synergy Drive system used in current Toyota hybrids. Tada says the added weight of the system could be offset by weight reduction, while aerodynamic changes and a lower center of gravity could improve the car's handling.
No word yet on whether a mild hybrid system would find its way to North America's Scion FR-S - let alone its Subaru BRZ twin - but the thought is certainly an intriguing one.
Watch this video diary of a 900-hp Toyota Supra build
Sat, 08 Jun 2013If you've ever looked at a car with nearly 1,000 horsepower and wondered why anyone needs that amount of thrust, you may want to take a look at the video below. In it, one gentleman details his descent into Toyota Supra madness, starting with a pristine factory example and stumbling down the rabbit hole of modification. What makes this particular clip interesting is just how honest the owner is as he explains the evolution of his car. He doesn't just prattle off a list of parts like he's reading the menu at an IHOP.
Instead, he painstakingly pulls us through the car's growth, detailing each iteration and what pushed him to the next stage of the build every time. From this point of view, it looks less like someone walked into a shop and lit a massive stack of $100 bills on fire and more like a quasi-logical progression of events. Or at least it does to me. You can check out the build in the video below, complete with plenty of Fast and the Furious references and racing. Win, win, win.
