Expect that your new driver will be in an accident due to inattention or lack of skill. I, for one, would really like to avoid being in a Tercel when it crashes... As would I, mostly for the benefit of the T4.. There's been at least 2 good crashes by members over the years that totaled the car, yet...

I did put an 85 or 86 complete column in my 84 to remedy a loose lower u-joint. It was plug and play so hopefully it could work.

I have an old bottle of positrac additive that was gramps that has to be whale oil based. It's separated into half liquid/half Crisco and smells terrible. Just read on wiki about how trans failures skyrocketed after the 72 ban, and how our space program still uses it on another site. Gear oil always...

That could be the reason for the warning- If you can not read this manual, do not use product.

One possible vacuum leak source is the pcv spacer under the carb. I've had the pcv pipe molded in to the spacer loosen up.

I was only calling you out on the "no car in decades" claim because I figured you knew about Subaru "conditioner". You will never write a manual long enough to cover all the things people can do to a product! Who reads the manual anyway?? lol I once had a chevy truck towed in with completely frozen ...

Under no circumstances would i consider using stop leak! Why? what do yo think might happen?... 1) all car manufacturers use some sort of stop leak in the cooling system on all new cars... 2) there is no passage way or opening within the cooling system that is small enough to trap the solid particl...

After loosening up deposits with chemicals it's very important to aggressively flush it out before re-depositing them. Preferably the rad, core, and engine get flushed separately so no cross contamination happens. Also, the same deposits that are clogging the core can be coating engine surfaces not ...

The lines are one of the first thing installed at the factory and all of them are attached to each other in brackets. This increases difficulty. The whole assembly could be replaced from a donor car but the trans might have to come out to snake it all in. You sure it needs lines? I've retired a few ...

The Rocket has seen 130 mph ---- TOMTOM--- fastest T4 around-- not stock-- 165HP V 20 Black Top-- lots of fun to drive. Larry

Must have been close to 6000 rpm cruising speed!

An auto T4 is still way better than no T4.

Oh great. Now the dude is going to know that we are all closet 1 percenters laying low in our old Toyota's.

But wait, I can spread the payments out over 84 months..

Almost every one of my cars has been fully depreciated when bought or saved.

Pretty sure Rocket wants to come out and play!

Wow, flashback. Haven't seen one since around 1990. Looks fairly well preserved. The front doors meeting sliders with no pillar is unique!

Probably rarer than a T4? Could make parts procurement harder than what we deal with.
