Re: 1985 Blue Tercel 4wd For Sale - $1500 OBO

I'm going to try to get the car up to Ilwaco, WA for the weekend since it is the slow drag at the port, and rod run as well. Couple of YouTube videos of it here: https://youtu.be/qNGoq_HhOFE

Re: ISO: Sun Visors

Awesome, thanks for the info. I've checked prices for the muffler and rear pipe at a few places. Seemed pretty cheap, sounds like I need to move ahead sooner rather than later.
Engine is just a long term pipe dream. Should probably worry more about my leaking head gasket for the moment.

ISO: Sun Visors

Both of my sun visors have broken at the plastic part that has two screws holding it onto the ceiling, that the arm goes through. If anyone has a couple extra, one for driver and passenger side, I'd love to buy them. Or if anyone knows where I may purchase them, let me know. I'm way out down by Asto...

Radiator Needed Urgently!

My radiator is busted, don't know exactly where, but it isn't a hose. So if anyone has a spare one sitting around, can you let me know? I'm located near Astoria, Oregon. Napa here is quoting $132 for one. Also if anyone has the seal for where the cv axle goes into the transmission (if that exists), ...

Re: Name that Noise! Gameshow Version

Naselle, WA, it's near the Long Beach,Wa and Astoria, OR area. Yeah, I drove it cross country last summer and had no problems really except that it turned out I had put a defective steering rack in it. I feel pretty in tune with the car, so I can pick up when it isn't feeling well or needs a rest. I...

Re: Name that Noise! Gameshow Version

Just ordered new sway bar bushings from the dealership. $116 before tax. Takes too long to get the from Australia. If I don't have a tight sweet front end after all this, then I will start considering a sledge hammer. Just kidding. I just want my car to take me back to Washington without crashing or...

Re: Name that Noise! Gameshow Version

Unless your steering is really sloppy it not likely a major safety issue to have soft bushings. Also, on the anti-sway bar (stabilizer bar) end bushing (to the control arm), unless these are completely crumbled away, there is a cheap temp fix to tighten that joint up. When they get loose it allows ...

Re: Name that Noise! Gameshow Version

Got as much grease back in as I could, till it was pouring back out as I was pumping it in. Cleaned it up and put a tire patch on. Might not hold up, maybe it will for a little while. Gives me a slight amount of piece of mind though. I understand the axles are supposed to be firm, but what about whe...

Re: Name that Noise! Gameshow Version

I'm thinking that maybe an tire patch would work if I clean the grease off the outside really good? It's such a small hole and it's on the inner boot, which doesn't flex as much as the outer. I don't think they're going to need to take the rack out to get the new bushings in. I guess if they put in ...

Re: Name that Noise! Gameshow Version

We will know whether the axle is bad after the new rack bushings are in. I really think that's the source of the terrible knocking. I drove for months with the other axle boot completely torn open before it started getting noticeably bad. This boot just has a small hole, like it got poked by somethi...

Re: Name that Noise! Gameshow Version

So, aside from it making an obvious noise, is there any way to check a cv axel to tell if it's good or not? I mean, it feels good, like it doesn't move when I tug on it, the boot just (like within the last few days) got a small hole in it, but I really don't want to replace the whole axel because of...
