Re: 1985 tercel windshield BC Canada

I know a company than can make custom windshields if you cannot find it anywhere else. They do custom windshields for many classic cars.
https://kuttilanautolasi.fi/en/

It is pretty far away but there may be similar shops in your are making custom windshields if these windshields run out one day.

Re: Turbo 4age tercel

Good job! I am glad that you managed to tackle the misfire.

Adding a catch can sounds a lot nicer job than searching a misfire. So hopefully that will be easier task to complete.

Re: Distributor sitting for years at shop

This distributor could be also in very good shape if it has been sitting just in the shelf for decades. Some of the distributors mounted into cars have been already many decades in the use, which can result into lower lifetime expectations. But you never know before you test.

Re: Wheels Tires and Gear Ratios

Pretty similar to your previous reading. Several factors can incluence your mpg if you check it precisely like driving route, temperature, tire pressures, cargo of your car etc. So I would say that your previous reading 26 mpg and your current reading 25,2 mpg are pretty same if we consider all the ...

Re: ISO Front fenders for 88 T4WD - Canada

These Corolla fenders do not fit. Front of car is so different. You would need some cutting, welding & painting first. So fixing Tercel fenders can save your money and time.

Just look for Tercel fenders. MrWrench is selling such for example:

Re: Turbo 4age tercel

Mechanically the engine is okay (well, not really. theres a bunch of slop in the piston-to-cylinder due to the machine shop fucking up the bore -- not enough to cause piston slap, but more than there should be). I am still leaning towards this being an ecu issue, or a coil pack issue. No, I dont ha...

Re: ISO Front fenders for 88 T4WD - Canada

What part of fender is gone? As an emergency repair you could also install plastic wheel wells if fenders are rot as usual.

Re: 84 SR5 part out

Looking forward to that licence plate frame. And by the way, I could buy a spare 1987 grill if you ever come across one.

Re: Carburetor mounting gaskets

That is good to know. Now we have a waterproof explanation why there are several gaskets available. I think that I am running the wrong type for my car but it works fine for me. So it could make a very minor difference but nothing very critical I suppose.

Re: new vacuum advance unit, part # SMP 43898YM

the ports are in a lousy spot as the first gens use an external coil style dizzy. Oh, is the vac advance unit on the top of those distributors? I think I remember seeing that once. The vacuum unit is always on same spot but the vacuum ports can point to another direction, which is not always prefer...

Re: ISO: Stock Carburetor for 1985 A/T w/ 3AC Engine

Hello, I am looking for a stock carburetor for my 1985 Tercel, just checking in to see if there was one here. At RockAuto they want upwards of $450 for a carb and by the language they use I think it’s rebuilt. From what I gather it sounds like it’s preferable to replace with a stock carb?? Rock aut...

Re: Help! I need a 4.1:1 Rear Differential

So far no luck. Do you have any old 3:73:1 gearboxes? I have understood via facebook & this forum discussions that you could alternatively swap your front differential into 3:73:1 ratio if you manage to find one.
