Here it is..... one of the most sought after cars ever built!! Toyotas rare 4x4 wagon with a six speed manual and a BRAND NEW REBUILT ENGINE ***** WITH WARRANTY***** The Engine was professionally installed by A-One Japanese Auto of Auburn Wa. This engine has 11 months left on a one year warranty. So, even if it drips one tiny bit of oil, if your not happy you can take it in and they will fix it!!!! This car is a rare rare rare find in this condition. The interior is so nice for a car this old its actually kinda weird ( sorry I never vacuumed when I took pic's but its clean now :) the headliner is amazing with no tears which is just strange for rigs this old and being a wagon. There are no cracks in dash or other interior parts....drivers bottom shows some wear but no holes.  Way awesome the windshield is perfect!!!  stock antenna intact, original hub cabs and wheels, original floor mats, and even the stock original tire iron and bag!  I swear this rig was left in a barn for years or something to have this type of stuff still be so nice. The car only has 181,000 miles on it.....and get this ***** NO RUST****** that screams good deal alone... finding a tercel with no rust saves thousand$$$ in time and money.     Usually these rigs are rusted through. The 4x4 works great and drives like brand new! I also installed a brand new Weber DGEV 32/36 carburetor to give it a little more kick..... new carb call s for more stuff  so  I also purchased the top of the line rotary Carter fuel pump and Weber fuel regulator to be installed that go with the new upgraded Weber carb ( you get to install this ....one hour and your done) .    90% on the tires, brakes have full life and work great. Car drives awesome and shifts great for a old rig. This rare car even comes with the original manual!! body is straight except for a small dent in rear back driver side door that can be easily pulled pushed out by removing panel.....plus it comes with the side SR5 molding to replace the one that got the sr5 smudged off.   All the hard labor intensive stuff and mind boggling detective work finding parts has been done on for this rig. Priced to sell!!!! the rebuild alone cost me $2500!!!!and this was no friends Uncle Rico that a mechanic in his garage...this was a professional outfit that specializes in rebuilds that did the work. The paint could use a real good waxing and just a few little dings here and there that is to be expected.  Glass, is perfect all around.  the Interior is 8 or 9 /10!!!   under carriage is 10/10 body 8/10....   The "To Do's"  has one little broken amber turn light that you can buy on ebay for $5.00 and that's it......  a little elbow grease on the driver window regulator...... a new thermostat ( $7.00 and one screw)..... needs a radio, and maybe some love to the muffler.  I recommend getting a RamFlo air filter and getting rid of the PCV valve ( I also added the valve breathers to do this)  Other than ONE day of tinkering its perfect!!!   I can deliver to Seattle if you need or want it shipped.  Please message me if you have any questions.  I want you to buy with confidence.


Oh...Subaru's suck!!  :)

Toyota develops new pre-collision system with steering assist

Sun, 13 Oct 2013

A number of automakers are working on developing fully autonomous cars, but it looks like the groundwork for such technologies will likely show up first as semi-autonomous systems for both safety and convenience. Following recent announcements from Nissan and Ford in this area, Toyota has now released information for some of its advanced semi-autonomous technologies that could be offered in production cars over the next few years.
On the safety front, Toyota's new pre-collision system with pedestrian-avoidance steering assist is aimed at protecting the folks who aren't in the car. This system combines visual and audible alerts with automatic brake assist and automatic steering. If warnings don't get the driver to slow down, the brake assist kicks in if a collision is very likely, but if that is still not able to avoid the impending collision (and if there is enough room to do so), the car can automatically steer itself around the pedestrian. This sounds most beneficial for last-second dangers such as a person accidently stepping out into the road in front of a car. Toyota hopes to have this technology available to customers by 2015.
The Japanese automaker is also testing a suite of technologies called Automated Highway Driving Assist (AHDA). The key part of this is a new adaptive cruise control system that uses vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications rather than a radar-based system. This cooperative-adaptive cruise control allows vehicles to communicate their acceleration and deceleration data with other cars, which Toyota says this helps to improve fuel efficiency and traffic flow. Also a part of AHDA is the Lane Trace Control feature, which sounds like a next-gen lane keep assist. This system uses cameras, radar and a computer to keep the vehicle in a "smooth driving line" by being able to change steering angle, engine torque and braking force. Toyota says this technology could be in place by the "mid-2010s."

119K Toyota Avalon sedans recalled over airbag woes

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

Toyota has issued a voluntary safety recall for 119,000 2003-2004 Avalon models because in some cases the airbags could inadvertently deploy.
The automaker says that circuits within the airbag control module could be damaged by electrical noise, which could cause the front airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners to activate. Dealers are going to repair cars by adding an electrical noise filter to the module. Owners will be notified by first class mail.
Toyota Public Affairs Manager Cindy Knight told Autoblog that there was one reported injury caused by the sudden deployment, but there have been no accidents or crashes. The company is currently preparing the parts for dealers now, and the component takes 90 minutes to two hours to install. "We don't believe there are any other affected models," said Knight.

Toyota to buck engine downsizing trend, may go larger and turbo-free

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Turbocharging isn't really Toyota's specialty, and the Japanese automaker isn't being shy about acknowledging it. Koei Saga, a senior managing officer in charge of drivetrain research and development, says that eschewing turbos and increasing displacement of engines using the Atkinson cycle can produce better power gains without sacrificing fuel economy, Automotive News reports.
Toyota is investing heavily in larger-displacement Atkinson-cycle engines in addition to turbocharged engines, but Saga doesn't think the automaker will use turbocharging across many product lines. He apparently remains unconvinced that the technology "makes the world better."
In Toyota's eyes then, Atkinson cycle engines do make the world better, and here's how. Their pistons complete four processes - intake, compression, power and exhaust - in one revolution of the crankshaft, and the power stroke is longer than the compression stroke. Traditional Otto cycle engines require two crankshaft revolutions to accomplish those same four operations and have equal-length compression and power strokes. Atkinson cycle engines are more efficient, but less power dense, though increasing displacement can offset that shortfall.
