Re: Diesel swap and restoration progress

Hi, I have been absent for a while but logged in tonight. I have an LPG (propane) powered Tercel for my run around. Awesome car, top mileage on gas.

Re: Strange problems

Ahh, the Saab big end or main bearings seem to have shit themselves. How could this be on a car with 100,000kms on it. My Tercel has done 420,000kms and is still ticking along fine.
More money $5k au.. not happy, not impressed. :(

Re: Watch out for this guy...

So where is your apology? Sounds like a lot of excuses without any substance to me.

Re: 4WD OE Rear Spring Numbers

I put the Pedders springs in my Tercel with great results. My Tercel has LPG gas in the rear too, around 100kgs extra when full. The springs (HD) are perfect, even when towing a trailer.

Re: Strange problems

Indeed you are correct, the other euro car was an Audi, terrible problems with it. I had almost forgotten that until you reminded me :) The Saab have a reputation for oil sludge, I dropped (well paid someone too) the sump and cleaned out, now run full synthetic oil. Apparently the turbo heats the oi...

Re: Strange problems

For the record, a Saab 95. Very nice to drive, comfortable etc. All i really want is a Tercel though!
I have a parts car and am thinking of doing a full project car one day. I need to find a factory sunroof car first:)

Strange problems

Hi all, I went on a defensive driving course a few weeks back, my SAAB was in for service so took the Tercel. When braking heavily it was belching smoke from the exhaust. Ithought it smelt like brake fluid, everyone said no, how could it be? Well, master cylinder was leaking into the booster, level ...

Re: Zen and the Toyota Tercel Wagon

Hi all, I have not been around for a while on the forum but do poke my head in every now and then. I bought a SAAB 95 a while back due to the serious kilometres I do commuting to the city for social occasions etc. I still have my 2 tercs, 1 good runner and a spare parts car. I would really love the ...

Re: buying a tercel 4wd wagon

Not sure what you mean by destroying the fender, I certainly didn't touch mine. No need to pull that filthy liner either.

Re: buying a tercel 4wd wagon

Hi, yeah I get what you mean, in this case I would not apply for a position for less than what I was earning already, the base line was set. The job came with a car but I traded that for the cash. An extra 18.5k..It was already known that I was a practical reliable person, that's why I got the job! ...
