Re: Tuff Tercel Truck
Oh don't let my experience scare you Rokk, let's put it this way. Before I did anything, the temp would climb above half, but stabilize, during long periods of highway speeds. After redoing everything but the water pump, I took her 200 miles to Albuquerque doing 70-80 MPH (and it was hot out), spent...

Re: Tuff Tercel Truck
My cooling system worked fine until I decided to flush it, must have knocked enough crap loose that it clogged the radiator. Which to me was counter productive, if I had known that I would have left it alone, but who knows the last time it had been flushed, it was filthy! First bottle is what draine...

Re: Tuff Tercel Truck
Running the heater full blast is another good way to test for a clogged rad, if the rad is clogged the heater should kick the temp down towards normal.

Re: Are my CV joints finally going out?
If the steering wheel wiggles back and fourth in a cyclic fasion when starting from a stop, that is also pretty good indications the cv joints have lots of play in them. Interesting, that is exactly what was happening, but only after going 70-75 MPH for 2+ hours. After it cooled off over night it h...

Re: '88 honda civic - bog/buck on hard throttle
What is the point of two fuel filters if the first one in line doesn't have some sort of bypass?

Camping with the Tercel
So we had to make a trip down to ABQ (some 180 miles) for some Immigration stuff, and decided to take the Tercel instead of the Buick, as we're trying to save the Buick for big trips and the Tercel had not stretched her legs in a while. We've started camping out instead of going to hotels, and packi...

Are my CV joints finally going out?
A while ago it was pointed out that my front CV boots were separated and I'd probably need to replace the axles soon. Well yesterday, after a 180 mile trip back from Albuquerque with the car fairly loaded at fairly high speeds (70-75 mph) I stopped at a light for a left turn, and upon the light turn...

Re: $1,850 · 1981 Toyota Tercel SR5 - victoria, bc
I really like it, especially the sr5 stuff like the tach.
The hatch is also more handy, the trunk on mine is so small!

Re: 1986 4wd red SR5 wagon for sale in Colorado
What did you have done at the dealer?
How is the inside? Does it have AC?
How is the transmission? Has it been serviced? Does it shift well?
How much oil does it leak?
This is actually within decent driving distance for me!

Re: Vacuum Advance
It came in today, and is an actual unit that seems to work after limited testing!
How long can you store these before the diaphragm goes bad?
