I've been a tercelophile for the past several years but recently had to junk both of my beloved 83 sr5 4wd's... Anyways, now I have a 95 subaru legacy and since this site had been so helpful to me with all my questions about my tercels, I was wondering if anyone knows of some site that would be simi...

My tercel days are over... The second of my two 83's has something wrong with the head gasket (leaking coolant and white smoke out of the exhaust). I'm not mechanically inclined so it would cost me the price of a new car to get the work done and I've decided its time to retire the Tercels. The one I...

My car overheated last week because of a blown radiator hose (I replaced the hose) and now is leaking coolant and belching white smoke out of the exhaust. I'm not very knowledgeable about car problems, but I fear the worst...

Anyone know what it could be?

I recently was going too fast through a residential neighborhood where they have those roundabouts and my car skipped over it and hit something from the bottom. I looked at the underside of my car and I cant see and obvious scratch marks even tho there are marks on the roundabout. Anyways, now my ca...

I still have the carb and would sell the transmission for $75

The carb I can take out myself but the you would have to come and take out the tranny yourself

All the doors and handles are working great. And I still have the keys. E-mail me and we can work out the details

I'm parting out my old 83 4wd sr5 copper tercel. I scavenged a few parts but there's still a lot left. The engine is shot but everything else was working great when she died. Clutch and brakes were done shortly before she stopped running I'm also not using the trunk attachment for cargo area I have ...

Lately, after I've been driving I turn off my tercel and I can hear a gurlging noise coming from under the hood. I think it may have something to do with the coolant/antifreeze. It will not keep the coolant, it all leaks out but will keep water. I'm pretty confused. Any ideas?

Sure enough, it was the alternator. I took it into schucks and it wasn't showing any charge. So I cannibalized the alternator from my parts tercel saving about a hundred bucks! And did the whole job myself, my first major mechanical fix on any car. Thank you toyota for making your cars easy to work ...

As I was driving down the road today, out of nowhere the e-brake and battery charge light came on. At first I thought it had just died from idling too low or something like that but when that happens the oil light comes on too. Anyways, I checked the brake fluid and it's full but those two lights ar...

I need to replace one or both of the rear wheel barrings on my 83 tercel. I have another 83 that I'm using as a parts car. I know the barrings on the parts car are good (they didn't whine the last time it ran). I'm wondering if I should just take the barrings off the old tercel or just invest in som...

I just noticed today that the steering isn't binding anymore. Maybe it was just stiff from sitting for a while. It seems pretty smooth now. But I will keep an eye on that u joint. Anyone have a schematic?

She did great! I even took her up to Mt Hood to visit friends and the performance on hills is better than my first tercel. I got 33mpg on my first tank and 27 on the second (prolly because of mountain driving) which is also better than my first tercel. I'm really happy to have it. The trip back to s...

Yup, I've still got it. And I'm the proud new owner of coltarms' tercel. It's an invaluable asset because now I have a parts car. What more could I ask for, same year and color! The only difference is that my new tercel has a windshield wiper and the old one didn't. So I'm assuming there might be so...

I bought a tercel just over two years ago. It was a copper colored 83. Ever since then I've been a tercel fanatic. That car meant so much to me. I live in the moutains 6 months out of the year and that car has gotten me through deep snow, steep gravelly inclines and everything else the moutain terra...
