Ma Toyota est fantastique ! Supertercel a encore frappé... Je m'explique: En juillet 2003 je lui monte un moteur d'occasion. 240000Km, mal entretenu, crasseux, fuyant, la pompe à eau réduite à un arbre etc. Prise de compressions: pas beau ! Un cylindre traîne la pa...

BTW, what kind of headlights are those? H4? 9007?
Only the H4 head lights were offered (55/60W). With removable bulbs and assymetrical beam. Sealed lights and flat beams aren't street legal.

Maybe. I read here that acetone had a good octane rate, it should take benefit from an advanced setting. I'll try with my "new toy", the Saab 900 turbo with knock sensor and APC system (adjusts settings to the current octane all trip long) when I've remedied some minor bits and driven a bi...

I tink I've noticed the same thing...better MPG if you go easy...more power if you need it... No. I feel more torque if I drive with few throttle, but I feel it worse when I demand the max. When I floor it I feel it drags worse than with pure gasoline, and I check that with worse mileages. If I per...

Some new datas about acetone... First I checked my odometer. With my current 175/70-13 M+S it's 6.663% wrong. I mean when I drive 169 Km according to milestones I read 180.2Km. All fuel consumptions above must so be increased by 6.663%. The following numbers aren't fully "scientifics" beca...

No emission stuff on a '86. Engines under 2000cc had their first cat' on 1/1/1993. 33Mpg were tested on their own by a magazine. maybe with a "too young" engine. 45.2Mpg were tested by an public agency on a run-in '83 model. Brands are allowed to use these "official" datas in the...

"Our" Corolla 1.6 with 4A gave 85hp, 100hp with EFi

I remember a camping caravan with driven axle... A propeller shaft similar to farm tractors ones lead the motion to the trailer. Same axle, ratio and tire than the pulling Cournil... [The Cournil was a fantastic crosser and a strong "worker". Many pro tools were fittable. That's why it had...

That's MY idea !
I plan to do quite the same.
Two problems:
-tercels rust more on the tail that in the front so it's hard to find a good donnor car (and a pity to cut a good one)
-If it's heavier than 500Kg it will be quite impossible to make it street-legal (French rules)

Consistant is also a french word but should mean something else... 'didn't understand. :( The OEM setting (-7°) is choosen for ordinary gasoline (most Heptane at about 82 ocatnes) that's no longer availaible in the pump stations. Using the poorest octane availaible (95) is logical to raise t...
