Re: PARTING OUT- Red 86

Not sure what you still have, but i'd be interested in the front brake calipers, the climate control fascia (and possibly other misc interior parts), roof rack... Maybe some other stuff. Let me know.

Re: 83 sr5 5spd 3door hatch parts for sale

Hey, tried calling you but no answer. How much for the calipers (assuming they're off the wagon)?

Re: Ice Racing

Haha, no. I'd still pick the Audi for Ice racing, but some studded tires and a shorter wheel base would help. I was just pretty impressed with the Tercel.

Re: Scored an 83 SR5, few questions

Hmm... Maybe someday. It's really a shame that the transmission is so weak, a nice turbo setup in one of these would be a blast. I wonder what it would cost to have the transmission custom built by a shop... Or if they could even do it.

Re: Scored an 83 SR5, few questions

Clutch should be a cinch compared to what I normally work on. I'm hoping to not have to go through the whole braking system... I'm thinking new fluid, new hardware for the rear, and maybe new drums and rotors. If I have to I'll do the master cylinder...

I'm fine with stock power for now, and If I ...

Re: Scored an 83 SR5, few questions

I'm in Colorado, haven't filled out some of the profile stuff yet. I'll pull the shifter apart as soon as it's not freezing outside and I get the stuff I stored in the car out (I have a bad habit of using wagons for storage...)

I'm hoping the brakes aren't too much of a headache, I know the clutch ...

What's the difference between the clusters? (non sr5 and sr5)

Re: Scored an 83 SR5, few questions

Thanks, I did end up finding that thread. I was concerned that I couldn't find a shifter bushing kit aftermarket, i expected it to be expensive from the dealer... That's how you know i work on german stuff. I'm hoping the trans is ok... It seems to go into gears fine, it's just hard to pick one ...

Re: Ice Racing

Hah. I think I lost to you at that practice day in my ~300hp Audi. No studs, but i was still impressed. And now I have a 4wd tercel of my own! (not that it replaces any of my Audis...)

Scored an 83 SR5, few questions

I read through some of the forums but didn't find everything i was looking for. I just picked up an 83 SR5 that was destined for the crusher. I normally deal with Audi Quattros but my first car I had to drive was a '90s tercel and i always wanted one of the 4wd wagons.

Anyways, the car started ...
