Yes, that 450,000 was what I was going for with mine until the hydroplaning incident... Also neat that it sounds like the reliability of the Corollas lasted past the nineties. Sounds like yours got better fuel milage than mine did. I have two mostly functional wagons, the Tercel and a Sentra (first ...

Thanks Richardred2, I had tried to get a copy made at one hardware store and had the result dlb mentioned. The closest blank they had wasn't close enough. I ended up finding my second key so didn't try again but the one key is very worn and if I lose or break the newer copy I may not be able to get ...

Hey dlb, Thanks for letting us know what you found.
And thanks to Sirfoxx for the tip about what can cause gear oil to get dark quickly. That is something I am going to keep in mind.

Glad to hear that it went well (:

Further update: It started popping out of fifth again. So for now I am going to settle for having a four-speed.

Thanks everbody! I had this car pretty apart after the crankshaft bolt came loose over a year ago and got jammed and broke off when I tried to remove it. We managed to get it drilled and cleaned out without ruining the threads but I had to get a new (old) pulley so I know this one sure looks like a ...

Fortunately that bolt still feels tight.

I should probably check. With tension on everything it doesn't look like it's loose but maybe the tension makes it look fine when it isn't. That happened before but it really shouldn't be loose now because I put medium threadlocker on it and torqued it to specification. But the issues stemming from ...

Hi, Have any of you had experience with ignition timing "jumping around"? Meaning the mark goes all over the place. This is happening on my '83 Sentra. It will go from something like 90 degrees BTDC to something like 15 ATDC and all over in between. My dad suggested the number one cylinder...

Yes, I think my Corolla was pretty different from the Sentra. I don't think I had to do much with the rear brakes to even remember what the set-up looked like. Lucky me:) Nice when components function well and need little attention.

I've got an update. I put the transmission case and pieces I had pulled apart back together minus the broken bushing type thing. Before filling trans. with gear oil I ran through the gears with the car off and everything seemed as good as before. I filled transmission and changed the four motor moun...

So the incidental color of your first Tercel set the intentional color choice for any that came after (: Yes, I have noticed that many newer cars here are in "earth tones". And while many are quite nice colors I do wonder if such colors aren't ideal as they blend in perhaps too well at tim...

I will second SirFoxx's comment. That is quite a cute car. Did you pick red for both cars on purpose or was that coincidence? I think your technical knowledge exceeds mine (: Makes sense that two same year Japanese economy cars even of different makes might have some overlap in design. They are defi...
