Hello all, my name is Iain. I live in London, Ontario, Canada. This is a wonderful forum that I have found! It's refreshing to see real enthusiasts discussing and helping each other insted of bragging about how ha the faster car on the tallest wing. LOL

I bought my car as a winter beater but then ended up selling my summer car (tricked out dodge neon)! I bought the car in a town called Hannover from the original owner for $1200 She has no rust, and only 123K miles on her!

The tercel passed her first and only E-Test she will have to take with flying colours, As soon is I got the car i replaced the original shocks and struts with KYB GR-2's and the brake rotors with Brembo Blanks, pads With Hawk HP Street pads, rebulit the calipers, replaced the brake hoses. Under the Hood all I have done is a tune up with NGK plugs and wires. Oh, and I replace the exhaust with a OEM Toyota piece.

I have a few pics...

Plus check out my My Cardomain

Looking forward to shairing and learning with everyone!

Welcome!
We can use any and all info you can share!
That third pix in particular was well-composed and pretty commercial-looking!

That second pic is one of those...put a wheel up on something high...kind of pic. They have a name for them...not sure what it is.

On some sites you'll see these tricked out 4x4s out in the middle of nowhere...where they've just happened to run the front tire up on the biggest rock around.

"Posing" is what i think they call it.....I googled "posing 4x4" an lots of images came up...

I was kinda funny though...I was just wondering along this trail that i found and came upon this pile of asphalt in the middle of nowhere....so i had to pull up on it for a quick photo! I know any of us would!

Welcome to the forum. I second the another Canadian thing, we just need some more eastern members. Nice to see another car in good shape.
