Selling my project! I will sell two different ways. 1) all toyota, no engine or trans. 2) with mounted Suzuki Hayabusa 1300cc motorcycle engine and complete harness. +* for the Ebay auction it is only Toyota parts included.* If you "Buy it Now" price, this will include all Toyota and all the Suzuki with eng mount.
Car is straight with new paint. It came with impact bumpers (gone) I have chrome y for rear. still needs front bumper. Seats are cloth reclining buckets out of a Hyundai Tiburon, dark grey. rear lower seat as well. Rear seat back is factory and freshly re-upholstered. Hat deck and door panels re-upholstered. Needs headliner. Has dash cap installed. Wheels are XXR 002 wide lip. brand new. Tires are brand new racing compound 235/50ZR-15. Sadly the rear tires were cut by fender lip when towing on dolly. fronts have zero miles. Still has factory suspension and I have factory drive line. To keep it Toyota, just need eng/trans of your choice and radiator. Asking Auction price start at $1750.00
The toyobusa ( buy it now price) comes with all the above mentioned. + I have a 1999 Hayabusa engine mounted to toyota mounting locations with custom built engine cradle (needs paint) Hayabusa curved radiator and oil cooler mounted. Wire harness installed and lenthened up to dash. Wired in with a toggle and start button (ala mc style) I also have a drive line coupler to mate to a custom drive line (4 bolt u-joint) Oil filter relocater included. I removed the Toyota clocks to install Hayabusa instrument cluster ( still needs mounting). Also included is a Brocks Stainless sidewinder Hayabusa drag exhaust system. throttle bodies come with fuel pump built in/on.
My calculations for this project complete adding nitrous should deliver 220hp and weigh around 1500lbs.
Asking $3800 for toyobusa - Buy it Now price-
to complete will need: Custom built drive line, modification to header pipes and lenghten to exit. finish mating harness. cooling hoses, oil cooler lines, cut clearence hole in hood for throttle bodies/air cleaner. strut and spring modification for lighter front end and tire clearence in rear. Again, my calculations for these finishing items approx $2500 if your having someone else build/modify.
When all complete it will be one fun and unique car with some crazy power. Only catch is there will be no reverse!
This car would not be hard to finish and will be worth way more than invested. I am selling due to divorce. I have no garage of my own to work on this or else I would keep and complete.
It is located in the Seattle area. I have clear title, however cannot seem to find hard copy. I will apply for new and can send proof of ownership. Buyer is responsible for shipping. I would be willing to assist with regional delivery. We could discuss those options. I will state again, the auction price does not include any hayaubusa equipment! Any questions , send me an email.

Toyota mulling more Tundra, Tacoma capacity in TX
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Toyota may be expanding its pickup truck production at its San Antonio, TX factory following calls from dealers for more Tacoma and Tundra models, according to a new report from Automotive News.
The San Antonio plant is currently able to produce 250,000 trucks on two shifts with overtime, while a secondary facility in Tijuana, Mexico can build an extra 50,000 Tacomas. Despite this capacity, and the fact that Tundra is a slow seller relative to the full-size trucks from Ford, Ram and Chevrolet/GMC (not to mention the Tacoma being part of a segment with diminishing sales), Toyota franchisees apparently can't get enough of the trucks.
"Dealers are telling us they could sell more Tacomas and Tundras," said Bill Fay, the general manager of the Toyota Division. "We are evaluating our footprint and capacity." According to AN, Toyota has moved over 248,000 trucks through November.
Toyota investing $200M in Southern manufacturing
Sun, 23 Jun 2013Over the past two years, Toyota has invested more than $2 billion at its North American production facilities, and it apparently doesn't plan on stopping there. To keep up with recent strong sales, Toyota is investing an additional $200 million at its engine plants in the Southern US to increase production capacity of its V6 engines.
The bulk of this money ($150 million) will go to expand Toyota's engine plant in Huntsville, AL, which is currently responsible for supplying engines - four-cylinder, V6 and V8 - to eight of Toyota's 12 domestically produced vehicles. That includes the best-selling Toyota Camry (shown above).
Toyota didn't say exactly what improvements are being made to the plant, but this follows last year's $80 million investment in the plant that is set to be completed by next year raising the engine capacity to 750,000 annual units including 362,000 V6s. The remaining $50 million will go to the casting plants of Toyota-owned Bodine Aluminum in Missouri and Tennessee, which supply engine blocks and cylinder heads to the Huntsville engine plant as well as others in Kentucky and West Virginia.

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
