Congrats on the new Job! I just started a new job too... If I could figure away to escape, and get time/funding, I'd be down for Shitbox Rally 2016!

P.S. PM me about your avatar!

I'd take my Tercel on a rally similar to that if I could only find one in the US. But at this point I just love to go and have a meet with a bunch of the Tercel owners. And go and do a cruise..... 2 - 300 tercel cars in one place,

we have had a few Tercel4wd meets here in the PNW, drew owners from several states and Canada!

Perhaps some time next summer we can have our own "Burning Tercel-man" meet somewhere central to most of the forum members out in the wilderness. It would be a blast. Minimalist wilderness camping at it finest.

I traded some emails with the Shitbox Rally people, and you didn't hear it from me, but it's very likely a North American Shitbox Rally is in the works.

i can hardly wait!

we should put a Tercel4wd.com team together, that would be fun. our guiding rule: NO new parts! all entries from the Tercel4wd.com team will be power by wrecking yard parts only!

we do not want to use our daily drivers to this event. We want to find a real Sh*t box, rust bucket, beater Tercel4wd. It will get trashed anyway, and we do not want to risk wrecking a good Tercel anyway. Than we scour our sheds, garages, basements, and local wrecking yards to build it into a decent off road runner. Using new filters, spark plugs, fluids and so fourth (routine maintenance items) would be acceptable, but all of the replacement parts we should scrounge, salvage, beg, borrow, get off craig's list, just to keep with the spirit of this rally.

I can see putting the larger brakes, the heavier springs, perhaps even the over-sized front struts, perhaps a corrola 4ac with a weber, to build it into a decent competitor. It could all be done cheap. I would say less than $1000 total (car, parts, tires, and all) if we can get a good beater cheap (or even better, have one donated for use by the team).
