Hi,
up for sale is my beloved MR2.
I personally had a lot of fun with the car and liked the car, but my recent gains led me to decide that I need a car upgrade.
My car is a coupe (not a T-roof!)
The car currently has about 140 horsepower with stock engine and no-cat exhaust, and produces A LOT of torque for an NA in that cc
To add, obviously, It has 5-speed manual gearbox like all the MR2s with racing enthusiast owners
The first thing I have to say is that through my ownership, the car got A LOT better.
The transmission fluid was changed to MT-90 less than 2000 miles ago
The engine oil was changed to extended performance fully synthetic mobil one 5w-30 also less than 2000 miles ago
The rear brake system ( consisting calipers, rotors, and pads) (similar to oem but with centric street racing pads) were changed new-----3000 miles ago
The brake fluid was changed to dot 4 valvoline----3000 miles ago
the serpentine belt was changed as it was making squealing sound ----400 miles ago
the spark plugs were changed to denso iridium plugs----2000 miles ago
the spark plug wires were changed to denso OEM----2000 miles ago
Car blackbox (records EVERYTHING while your car is running (able to be hooked up to run without the car running with the included external battery)--possibly useful in accidents or fun-driving recording ( the video is recorded in 1080p!)
above was what was done by me and my fellow Illini Auto Club friends
---------------------------
and below was what was done professionally at peter B's automotive at Urbana all about 2000 miles ago
The front brake system was changed into certain extent (rotors and pads)(similar to oem but with centric street racing pads
Inner tie rods (front and rear)-toyota OEM
Outer tie rods( front and rear)-toyota OEM
Front Sway bar end links (bought off from TWOSRUS--WAY better than the original sway bar end links)
Rear Sway bar end links (bought off from TWOSRUS--WAY better than the original sway bar end links)
Front ball joints-toyota OEM
Rear ball joints-toyota OEM
Polyurethane bushings
Subframe was reinforced with professional welding
------------------------------------------------ for the Peter B's job, I have all the receipts
What I have outside of the car (parts)
New Toyota OEM front bumper (unpainted)
two front fenders-toyota oem (painted)
extra bushings, ball joints (leftovers from what I bought)
brand new fuel filter
------------------------------
here are what the car already had

USB sound system
custom gauges (voltage meter, and air-fuel ratio meter)
subwoofer back of the passenger's seat
KYB AGX shocks with lowering springs
no-catback exhaust system( sounds very good for 4 cylinder)
Aftermarket strut bars (front, rear)
---------------------------------------------
here are what the car might need in the near future
-new clutch
-install the bumper and the fenders included with the car
-fix the door hinges of the driver's seat(makes tapping noise after opening to a certain extent)
---------------------------
here are what the car needs rightaway

Toyota wants improved crash scores with midcycle facelifts
Thu, 29 Aug 2013The performances of some Toyotas in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) regimen of crash tests leave something to be desired. Consider the small overlap frontal crash test: only six Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles have undergone the new test, yet all but one of them received a poor rating. Osama Nagata, CEO of Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America Inc., says midcycle vehicle updates are in the works to address the safety issues brought to light by the IIHS test, Automotive News reports. He confirmed that the RAV4 is getting safety updates following its crash test performance last month, but he didn't name any other models.
All three Toyotas that were tested - 2013 RAV4, 2012-2013 Prius V, 2012-2013 Camry - received poor ratings. The 2007-2012 Lexus ES 350 and 2006-2013 IS 250/350 also received poor ratings. The only other Toyota Motor Corp. vehicle to score better than poor is the 2014 Scion TC. It received an acceptable rating in the small overlap frontal crash test and is the only recent vehicle in Toyota's line-up to get the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating.
The small overlap front crash test measures the safety of a car when its front left corner is strikes an object during an accident, bypassing traditional crumple zones, which deform in a way to protect passengers. In 2009, automakers were alerted to the forthcoming addition of the test, which was first implemented last year, IIHS spokesman Russ Rader says. They responded with differing intensity, he says, pointing out that Subaru and Honda started incorporating design changes early on so their cars would perform well in the tests.
Toyota releases teaser for Kaley Cuoco Super Bowl ad
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Toyota 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.
Toyota prices fuel cell sedan $70K in Japan, coming to US and Europe next summer [w/video]
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Toyota has finally unveiled its FCV hydrogen fuel cell sedan and its Japanese price. We won't have to wait too long to see the first of these revolutionary vehicles on the roads. It will go on sale in Japan in April 2015 and will come to the US and Europe later that summer.
In Japan, the FCV will be priced at roughly 7 million yen before taxes ($68,810 at current exchange rates). However, Toyota makes it clear in the press release that we shouldn't try to extrapolate US MSRP from that figure, saying that official pricing for the US and Europe has not yet been determined. As will be the case in the US, sales in Japan will be limited to parts of the country that already have a hydrogen refueling infrastructure (that means you, California).
The production version of the FCV looks almost identical to the concept from last year's Tokyo Motor Show. There is a new vertical strip of LEDs at each corner of the front air intake and real sideview windows, instead of the nubs on the prototype. The weird squiggles from the rear trim are also gone in favor of a more production-ready look, but the taillights survive the changes mostly intact.
