I drove behind a Saab with its rear fog light on and it is VERY annoying. The light is about as bright as a brake light. I am glad it is not mandatory in the US.
I agree.
Its becoming rare to see them used in what they were intented to be used for. More common thing to do with them seems to be to ...

Rear fog light

Mandatory equipment atleast in here, and Im guessing pretty much everywhere in Europe aswell. It is a red light located in the plastic housing with the license plate and back-up light. It is somewhat birghter than them normal rear lights, and intended to be used during heavy fog ...

I saw this tool in a catalogue at work and instantly tought about this thread. apparently they are called plier wrench, and made by a company named Knipex in Germany.

Well, summer is almost here and the days are warm enough that I dont need to use the heater anymore. Except that as I feared, the radiator is just not effective enough anymore, so I ended up having to keep using the heater at full blast, sweating like a pig. :oops:

Broplem is that I dont have a ...

I have also been lookin for 13" tyres with rough tread pattern. So far I have found only one manufacturer. http://www.fedima.pl/submenu/30

One option would be to use rally tyres. Atleast in here, 13" is is still somewhat common size in lower levels of the sport. And they are usually road-legal ...

where can 4AGEs with RWD manifolds be found? according to wikipedia only in 1986 and older corollas and mr2s..is that right?


Mr2`s do not have RWD manifolds. The engine (and transmission) is same as in the FWD corolla GTI and oriented the same way, just in a different end of the car.

One ...

I did some digginging on local toyota forums, but all I found was a passing note about someone thinking of getting a sedan 4wd tercel from Germany. There was also a mention about them being manufactured originally for American market. If this is true I would think that one of you would have run into ...

Not really a repair question as I allready fixed it, but I tought that I should put a samll story up here for others to enjoy.

So I was driving to do some shopping when I noticed steam coming out under the hood, and temp-o-meter was really high. I quikly stopped and popped the hood and sure enough ...

Those last two pics are F'in sweet! Where did you find them? What's the link? :)
All of the pictures are from here.


The rear shoulder belts did not make it in any of the Gen 2 cars brought into the USA or Canada - they did in Australia/ New Zealand, and apparently at least parts of Europe ...

I was fooling around on the ice (again) and this time had a "film crew" with me:

Wow - was that a LOT of work - must have been a labor of love - or done on a bet... Almost looks like they used struts in the back? Or maybe just my eyes...

The 3/4 T2WD looks like someone just did some chopping - maybe the original rear end was crunched and he made the best out of a bad situation ...

I came across someting interesting, a tercel hatcback converted to use 4wd patrs from the wagon.

I also found this, wich looks like wagon but without the "wagon" part. Did it come this way ...

I already made a thread like this last weekend, but it got lost. More about that in this thread . So here I go again.

There has recently been some snowfall, so I decided to go for a spin to the local backroads and take some photos for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

Same thing here. I made one post to an existing thread and started one new thread yesterday, and now both are gone. I also had to log in anew.

edit: It also seems that post I have read during weekend have changed back to un-readed.

One option would be to use stronger pressure plate/spring assembly with original clutch plate, that way you would retain almost normal driveability.
I put one of those "spec" non-springed clutch plates and lightened flywheel on my summer car, and it is a bit tricky to drive in traffic. Works nicely ...
