I'm sure theres a thread around here somewhere but I just used 4 front jeep cherokee springs and cut/bent to fit in stock perches. My brother was the mastermind behind the brake setup, we basically stumbled around a junkyard for hours on end comparing parts and mock fitting them on a tercel that was...

Re: Tercel Overhaul

If you use paseo rotor and caliper it is a direct bolt on without shimming and with stock flexhose, since I used a celica caliper I needed to make a 1/8th inch spacer for behind the rotor.

Re: Very sticky 4WD lever.

Well a few non crucial things could cause this. While you were trying to switch into 4wd were you driving straight at a constant rpm? Are all the tires the same size and tread depth? Do all of the tires have the same PSI in them? few simple things that could clear up your issue.

Re: What do you get like when they call it a Subaru?

When I get called a subi my general response is "It's a toyota, respect it." Last time I got called a subi was when I was pulling a stuck car out of the snow and told a 2008 subaru wagon that he shouldn't try to go up a certain road. His exact words were "This kid's subi wagon has mor...

Re: transmission removal.

I've got it down to...
