Re: Broken 4wd lever on 85' Tercel

I honestly cant tell, but it doesnt seem frayed like it was cut. Theres also a point on each end of the linkage arm where it can be unscrewed.

this one i scraped from the yard, kinda rusty and crusted.

Re: Broken 4wd lever on 85' Tercel

Took a fresh picture, cleaned it off a bit. Im pretty sure this is whats left of the control arm connecting to the transmission. Also Petros, i dont see it possible to break the control arm, either. Unless you severely damaged the belly of the vehicle which is not the case. Not sure how or why this ...

Re: Burning Man

A not too far off goal of mine is to take our gypsy caravan to the desert and burn, three Tercels included!!! When the day comes we'll be in contact, I promise. In the mean time, are you guys festi goers? I took Old Red to her first four day festival back in June: 250k, 600 miles round trip, went ov...

Re: Charge and Brake light on

Battery is definitely good, read the spec sheet that came with the alt, output is 12.5 volts this is also what it read when I had the volt meter on with car running. Guessing this would cause the slight lack of power and the lights being on?... Honestly not surprised, going to Napa tomorrow morning....

No way, stoked to know your close by!

Re: Charge and Brake light on

So on this classic charge\brake lamp issue, recently put in new speakers and went a whole day until my indicators came on, no big deal. Drove around until my car died(bad alternator) so i went through the usual diagnostics and found the almost bad alternator. I had been smacking the alt with a wrenc...
