Re: Parts parts parts

In need of '87 Sr5 wagon front corner marker lights - a deer nicked one and ice removal got the other one. Also need an interior left rear door handle insert, back seat release knob, and the 4WD shifter cap which displays 2WD & 4WD with arrows.

Can you help?

Thanks,

Steve

Re: Need a pair of front corner lenses.

Thanks for the replies. I have had a few frozen water pipes and dead car batteries eating up my spare time. Just now getting back to my post. 17 below this am. I appreciate everyone's effort and will order a set right away.

Need a pair of front corner lenses.

I am interested in buying both front corner clear/amber lenses for a 1987 Tercel wagon. A random deer hit the left side and an errant snow/ice brush got the right side.

Thanks,

Re: INSTALLED 14" WHEELS - MPG IS WORSE??

The wagon started life in Santa Fe, NM. Then driven to Vt and sat in a garage for 10 months a year - used only 2 months each summer. Just brought it here Spring of '12. Didn't like the motor whine/high revs so we did the 14" wheel swap. Didn't improve the mileage but dropped the cabin noise and...

Re: INSTALLED 14" WHEELS - MPG IS WORSE??

Would any of you guys have an answer why after installing 14" wheels/tires we are getting less MPG? I made the switch due to the motor RPM's being so high at 65 MPH.

Thanks,

Steve

Securing exterior door guards

Trying to wash away road salt at the car wash loosened the vinyl door guards on our wagon. Wat do you guys recommend, after thoroughly cleaning the door & guard, to secure them back on the door?

Thanks in advance,

Re: INSTALLED 14" WHEELS - MPG IS WORSE??

Tires are 205/70R14's Decided to check the MPG again. Drove 200 miles back and forth to work - 95% highway. Drove 55 MPH constantly as I believe most MPG data is based on driving 55. Took a bit longer to get to work but what the heck - it's all for scientific evaluation, eh?? 199 miles divided by 6....

Re: INSTALLED 14" WHEELS - MPG IS WORSE??

The 13" tires/wheels were visually unappealing - they made the little wagon look like a little toy. After installing the bigger skins, the motor slowed around 500 RPMs at 60 MPG so I was hoping the added inertia of the larger/heavier wheels/tires would be equaled out.

INSTALLED 14" WHEELS - MPG IS WORSE??

Thanks to a previous post, found a set of Ford Escort 14" wheels and installed 205 tires which appear to have a 1" larger diameter and a few less revolutions per mile vs. the 13" stock wheel/tire set up. Was getting 30 MPG w/the 13 inchers, now getting 25MPG w/the 14 inchers.

Ideas??
