Re: 1987 Tercel 4wd project

Ok, it is time for the Autumn update of BEA. Driving BEA was a lot of fun and I managed to drive a couple of thousand kilometers with it during summer. It did not need a lot of attention, but again something minor was fixed, like a minor oil leak and a broken distributor caused by a failed distribut...

You seem to have a very clean one. Take good care of it! And yes, offroading a Tercel is a lot of fun.

Very nice! 10 Tercels in the same place. You just don't see that everyday, do you?

Re: 84 T4WD Carb update

You have a very clean Tercel 4wd with some nice updates.

10% ethanol makes sense. I am glad that spark plug gap and carb. adjustment sorted out your idle issues.

Re: Bucking / Bogging / Stuttering at speed

The similar happened to me once when I jump started my dead battery Tercel with another vehicle. It was a really bumpy ride.

Then I threw another battery and the Tercel ran like champ. Funny how little things can make such a difference.

Re: Tercel Parts 410 Auto Wrecking

It is great if you have good wrecking yards around for older cars. Here in Finland wrecking yards have nearly nothing left from 1980's. Every car in wrecking yard is basically from 1990's or newer.

But enthusiasts have saved some parts for the future needs instead here.

Re: Windshield trim tercel missing. Does any have?

Windshield glue should be the best alternative.

I don't like to have too many kinds of sealants in garage so I added some gasket sealant between plastic trim and metal corner. But this is not the 100% correct way of course. But it does the job.

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.

Re: 1987 Tercel 4wd project

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.
