So, I see I am not to only one to start drooling over this car. I was on the Kelley Blue Book website about a week ago when I saw some pics of it, and I declared that I was going to save my money and buy it first chance I get. Anywho, I do know that the production model is going to have a 4.0 liter ...

I agree with 3A-C...that hitch is almost a must have. I actually got excited when I saw it. my litle bumper hitch is ok, but about the only thing I have ever used it for is to bend my bumper back up once (don't remember how it bent down, but when I jacked the car up by the end of the hitch......righ...

I have done the basic, yet fun, cookies in a farmers wet field..once while forgetting that I had left my rear windows rolled down (ugh) I might add that the tercel handles VERY well in water situations. I have driven a quarter mile through water that was just up to the bottom of the doors and crosse...

the exact same thing has happened to me twice (I guess three times if you count right now) both other times when I replaced my CV, all noises went away and ride was smooth. From what I understand, this was one of the only flaws of the tercel 4wd. the small cv's for a small 4wd were kind of a new ide...

I have me a hitch as well. it is a flat one with a small ball on it, but the tercel frame is strong enough that I was able to tow a Buick Lasabre up a fairly steep gravel road in extra low...I want a true reciever hitch though.

I wish that more people who are Tercthusiasts lived near me. Then we could hang out....and...talk about tercels...or help each other out with repairs or upgrades. Sometime there should be a week or half week event organized where as many of us as possible go camping somewhere. imagine the sight of 1...

my 84 sr5 doesn't have a center brake light either. I was planning on adding one later with the conversion (I know I am always talking about it..I am hopeless...but one thing about me is no matter how long it takes, when I get a bug like this in my head, I always follow through with it..hehe)
