Re: Tercel Guru in Chicago?

Thanks, guys. She had an independent guy who knew old Toyotas inside and out that worked on her 81 Corolla/Tercel, but he dropped off the map! She's going to try to try to track him down, but hopefully we can find the type of mechanics you suggest!

Tercel Guru in Chicago?

Hey Gang, my sis just drove the 85 wagon I sold her to Chicago from NH this weekend. She's going to need to replace some front end parts to get it aligned, probably tie rod ends, maybe the rack. Does anybody know of any good Toyota mechanics she should try in Chicago? One that likes and is good at ...

Re: Fenders Wanted

I just found some clean ones at a yard in OH, not far off of my sister's route from VT to Chicago! She called them and is going to pick them up on the way! Thanks, though!

Fenders Wanted

Hi Gang,

Anybody have a clean pair of front fenders that would fit my 85 4WD wagon? My dad had to find a hood, grille, headlamps etc after a meeting with a deer, and he says he found that 4WD fenders are specific and 2WD won't work. Can anybody confirm? I think he said the blinker shape is ...

Fuel Problem

Hey Gang,

85 Auto 4WD wagon with around 60k miles. It was stalling going slow around corners in town and going up hills (mostly when my wife was driving, of course!) over the winter. I replaced the fuel filter, and that seemed to fix it, but now it's sputtering a bit sometimes when taking off at a ...

85 Speedo Pegged

Hi Gang,

Just joined, first post. I've owned several Tercel wagons over the years, mostly 5spd 4WD models. Haven't had one in 10+ years though, and my dad just loaned me his 85 for the Winter, and I thought I'd tackle some of the issues.

First up is finding a leak that soaks the driver's feet in ...
