Re: new member in Fargo w 86 4WD SR5

Sold her over the weekend to a good friend here in Fargo that was looking to get a fun car to work on with his son. Cant think of a more fun and durable toy to learn wrenching with. Please welcome him when he registers :)

Cheers

Parts wanted, 86 tercel kestrel project

Ok so over the top or not, I'm going to dub my tercel the Kestrel. So I'm corny...life is too short or too long (depending on how you look at it) to be serious. Looking for a fuel pump gasket - or advice on what material to make it out of. I need two of the little metal corner trim pieces for the wi...

Re: Can YOU tercel???

I had visited this site before driving down to pick up my tercel about 240 miles south of here. Driving this aerodynamically challenged vehicle back into a 30 mile an hour headwind I had to laugh thinking of "tercelleration"

Re: new member in Fargo w 86 4WD SR5

Thanks rules for the vin info...ok so it's an 86 yay...almost a new car compared to an 84...hehe And yes petros I only know the mpg from roadtrips in the marauder....It rarely gets that sort of leisurely usage. I built it up to have fun...It runs pretty consistent 14.25's at a local drag strip- slow...

Re: new member in Fargo w 86 4WD SR5

Tom...My wife would agree with you that I am abit over the top in a lot of ways. Ok shes sitting here and says not over the top....but I am cheesy...slightly cheesy in everything but highly entertaining. I love to drive things that are a little different from the current popular...and the marauder i...

Re: new member in Fargo w 86 4WD SR5

Hey DLB....yes they are actually 15's off of a focus zx2 which replaced the escorts. Think he said it was an 01, Perfect fit in my humble opinion. He just got the tires on at Christmas and toasted his engine in late January,

Re: 85 terc Reno NV

Holy smokes that car is a doppleganger for the one I just bought. Right down to the same exact drivers side seat tear. Good to see they all wear out in the same places. I just paid 1600 for mine with probably the same relative condition body and mine was/is not mechanically as well taken care of but...

Re: new member in Fargo w 86 4WD SR5

The tercel is fun to drive and when pushed a little bit it remonds me of a 78 spitfire 1500 I had a long time ago. It will also hopefully be reliable enough to drive year round. It will be mostly garaged in the summer. always in the winters and actually not have to hibernate like the toy it will be ...
