Re: Engine tick when warm tercel 86

Can you hear engine tick only on highway speeds? Then it could also come from bearings, gearbox etc. When I try to listen these noises, I will also test engine on same speed on neutral, on highway, clutch pressed etc. If you hear the tick on every single way on high RPM then you know its the engine....

Re: Turbo 4age tercel

Re: observations on my first t4 transmission disassembly

Looks interesting. And good that you have some spare parts for those transmissions. I have never opened myself a transmission but who knows when that day will come. These pictures and Roberts video will be helpful for sure in that case.

Re: Blowing black smoke and is running rough.

Hi! I saw that you had a electronic igntion conversion kit on the way to your euro tercel, where did you find that? /Jonas (Sweden) Hi Jonas, unfortunately InSaneTercel87 has not been active since last year but I may know an answer to your question.

Great, a dozen is even better! And I have seen some material via facebook group. You had really great scenery in Colorado and a lot of fun sounds worth the trip.

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...

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.
