Re: The Tersailor (REBUILDING)

You will swap a lot of parts to that car. Remember to swap timing belt too.

Re: Turbo 4age tercel

4wd 2dr hatch would be awesome. It is really agile. AL20 & AL10 4wd have been used in car orienteering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_orienteering

They are light and agile, so perfect for snowy/gravel back roads.

Re: 84 T4WD Carb update

Lots of posts on this one. It is good to see how many factors can include idle including spark plug gap. I would like to go back to fuels for a short time. According to my knowledge three factors affect petrol fuel: octane rating (land specific), additives (again land specific) and ethanol rating (u...

Re: ISO Reverse Light

Well hopefully one of forum members have one. Alternatively, could you search for a licence plate molding from salvage yard, which is also later model.

And no worries about the illustrator. I don't have it myself neither so that is why I decided to print these decals based on measured dimensions.

Re: 1987 Tercel 4wd project

Thank you NWMO.

Thank you Mattel. You are absolutely correct about white steelies.My another one Bea should receive grey alloys next spring meanwhile Bhp will receive white steelies. Here are some additional screenshots from the scene, which lasts about 1,5min.

Re: fuel issue?

The less ethanol, the better for OEM rubber gaskets. But it takes years for gaskets to worn out, not months. The ethanol will also start to blend with all of the inpurities in your fuel system including carb, tank + fuel lines. Therefore you want to have as clean system as possible with ethanol fuel...

Re: 84 T4WD Carb update

It is very true. There is a reason why a carburetor has a mixture screw and there is a reason why it is sealed in the first place. You can do easily calculations scientifically for the ethanol fuel. 100% Ethanol has energy density of 27MJ/kg meanwhile petrol has 46,4MJ/kg. It means that 5% ethanol f...

Hi Esaus, if you want to glue it forever: Sikaflex 221, if only "temporarily", water pump silicone glue is the way to go: https://www.biltema.fi/sv-fi/bilvard/bilunderhall/tatningsmedel/packningssilikon-hogtemperatur-75-ml-2000041863. I am glad that you found your missing pieces. The very ...

Re: 1985 Tercel $3200 Utah

Looks nice. I assume it is a 1985 DLX auto with 1983-1984 SR5 interior with some missing parts like grill emblem.

Re: 1987 Tercel 4wd project

It it time for August update. I had my vacation to fix my original project further. From now on I will refer my original project car as BHP, because of its registration plate. The BHP received missing decals and moldings after printing the stickers in a sticker shop. I did found an original measures...

Re: ThunderBucket, my 84 SR5 project.

I like also this story and your Youtube vid on winter rescue. The good story makes the half of reasoning why to keep this Tercel roadworthy. Hopefully we will hear what you will do with this Tercel in the future. There is some rust present but I think that you can still keep it roadworthy with some ...

Re: 3A Motors for sale

I recommend that you do the swap first and sell motors then. You may need everything from bolts to exhaust manifolds for swap depending if your 4A is from FWD layoyt or not. FWD 4A has not neither correct exhaust manifold. But I hope that you finish that 4A swap soon! Stroke is also same in 4A &...

Re: My first Tercel wagon 85 4wd

White wheels look good! And it is a good idea not to drive much with wobbling wheels. They can ruin everything from steering parts and bearings to joints and bushings. I had same to happen once with 13'' rusty steel wheel. After sand blasting it was still so wobbly that I needed to find another one....
