Re: Complete rear axle replacement?
Taos, Unless I was absolutely certain, I would check it, it’s too easy to do not to. It sounds like you have one wheel on and the other off? I would support the rear end so the tire was on the ground and NOT spinning. I would then use chalk or a piece of tape to mark the differential input shaft and...

Re: Lift kit???
Esaus,
I used 1st gen Nissan Pathfinder springs in the rear and the Moog 81043 on stock front struts. It rides more like a truck which doesn’t bother me, but might some.

Re: Lift kit???
Esaus,
I’ve got 1.5”-2” lift in the front with really no issues. The ball joints and half-shafts get a little more work, but It’s not been a problem. 80k miles on the presumed original passenger half-shaft and 60k miles on the replaced driver’s side half shaft.

Re: 4wd ->94 coupe
94, Likely a HUGE project that would require serious build skills and $$$. Gen2 have longitudinal engines, I’m sure yours is transverse. No “tunnel” for rear drive shaft IF you found a way to get your motor longitudinal with the transmission. Nobody knows for sure, but the general consensus/guess is...

Re: Diesel swap and restoration progress
I traded emails with CRT about 1.5 yrs ago. The project was still buried in his barn I believe.

Re: Complete rear axle replacement?
Just completed this a couple of months ago, not bad. Make sure to SAFELY support the car when swapping. Spray all the bolts/nuts needing removed with a penetrant a few times days before. An impact wrench is useful as well. Also, confirm your new rear end gearing matches the front. If not, swap the t...

Re: Wanted*** 3ac motor for 87 Tercel wagon.
zado,
It would need to be out of a Chevy Nova or possibly a Corolla. The 4A block is a twin to the 3A, but you have to swap the oil pan, valve cover, brackets, accessories, etc. A newer 4AFE is NOT what you want.

Nordical,
We won’t be able to top the elevations and scenery in CO, but every year brings something new/different that makes it a great get together.

Re: The Tersailor (REBUILDING)
Tersailor,
I would likely try to “fill” the broken area with JB Weld or even JB Weld a little piece in there. I don’t think it would create a problem for the belt either way, but it might not “balance” as well.
