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 begins shipping Le Yaris to America

Fri, 17 May 2013

Our tiniest Toyota (Scion iQ notwithstanding) is about to get a little French flair. The Japanese automaker announced Thursday that its Toyota Motor Manufacturing France facility would begin building Yaris models destined for North America - specifically, the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. This will mark the first time in history that Toyota has exported vehicles to North America from Europe.
Initially, Toyota will export roughly 25,000 Yaris models to North American markets from France each year. In order to handle this additional production, Toyota Motor Manufacturing France has invested 10 million euro into its French facility.
Despite being somewhat of a snooze-fest (it's a car!), the Yaris carries on in North America with a 106-horsepower 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, with prices starting at $14,370 for the three-door and $15,395 for the five-door, not including $795 for destination.

Toyota confirms i-Road electric trike for production

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

The wacky, three-wheeled Toyota i-Road we saw in Geneva earlier this year will be heading to production. But before you run down to your local Toyota dealer looking for one of these all-electric "personal mobility" vehicles, chances are, you'll never actually see one unless you visit Japan.
Announced at the Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies (CEATEC) expo last week, Toyota said that the i-Road would be used as a part of the Ha:Mo car-sharing system in Japan. Weighing in at around 661 pounds, with a 28-mile-per-hour top speed and a two-passenger seating arrangement, the i-Road seems more like a fully enclosed scooter than a car, but it does offer a 30-mile driving range and has a nifty articulating front suspension that leans into corners. As for Ha:Mo, Toyota says that the number of cars in the program will increase from 10 prior to October 1 to 100 by the middle of this month, and the number of stations will almost double from 13 up to 21. Toyota has more details about the car and Ha:Mo in the press release posted below.

Toyota close to licensing deal with BMW for fuel cell technology

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

For over a year now, we've been hearing about a potential partnership between Toyota and BMW on everything from sports cars to lithium-ion batteries, but one of the first cooperative projects between these two automakers could bring Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell technology to a BMW vehicle. Reuters is reporting that an announcement is likely to be made as soon as later this week regarding a BMW fuel cell vehicle that could be in production by 2020 with a prototype running around by 2015.
The last we heard of Toyota's fuel cell technology, it was in the FCV-R Concept that we saw at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, but there is no word how far along in development this system is. If it does come to fruition, such a vehicle for BMW would build on the automaker's commitment to hydrogen that started with the Hydrogen 7, which unlike a fuel cell vehicle, simply ran on hydrogen fuel rather than converting it to electricity for use in motors. We're definitely interested where this Toyota/BMW tie up could be headed.
