Re: ae86 radiators, do they work in our cars?

The AE86 Radiator is no where close to a factory fit. It's taller and wider significantly. I'm looking to see if I can drop the bottom mounts by an 1 1/8" and the drivers side over a few inches. The top EZ mounts are going to require a spacer and a nutsert a few inches closer to the drivers sid...

Re: Engine Swap options

I found a guy in Australia that's done the 4age swap. I'm trying to get on that message board to ask him questions. Looks like the RHD Al25 is easier than our LHD US models.

Re: Window crank handle!

Did ALL 1980's Toyotas use the same crank handle? Do I need to search Ebay for specific Tercel handles? Does anyone know how much new ones cost at the dealer? Are the aftermarket plastic ones any good? Yes, most of the early Toyotas, pre 92 use the same few door crank handles. You can visit your lo...

Re: Clinometer

I've seen them go for as much as $80 on ebay. The rarest are the blue cover ones.

$25 is more than fare.

Re: Adding 85 current Toyota part #'s and schematics

I started scanning the schematics. I have them now as jpg's but I think adobe reader pdf's seem a bit more common a format for Cataloging.

Whats the consensus?

Re: Engine Swap options

Who takes their 4wd tercel's off road? They should only be used on road, as they're too cool to go off road and get damaged. I too off-road every week. I haven't done too much damage. I really just like to go to some of the local off-road places and show up the Broncos and Tacos. And at a tenth the...

Re: Gas tank size?

If you only paid for 10.75 gallons but actually got 13.2, you were not cheated, you got a heck of a deal.
Your absolutely right.

Re: Tercel4wd.com merchandise?

I ordered material for the Bumper Stickers. The material itself is white. I was planning on doing a reversed out black print run with a red 4wd print run(thinking since almost every tercel bumper is black). I could also just print them in black and red text so the background would be white still. (A...

Re: 4AGE swap into 85 4WD

I have not talked to the welder that was going to braze the holes. I decided to try Ballard's Best Welding. I dropped the flywheels off and haven't received a call back for quote. We'll see what happens after the new year. Header Issues I've had no luck trying to track down my header flanges. They h...
