holy doodle petros, even before you're finished it's still an epic (in the true sense of the word) journey! i had a VW passat wagon that died just before my fiancee and i were about to drive down to burning man in nevada last summer. luckily, i had bought ron (my terc) a month or so before the VW di...

that thing's got a pretty dope roof rack, were those stock on any tercels? my parts car came with a really burly rack that the previous owner made for it (it has a 2nd spare tire mount) but it weighs about 50 lbs so i opted for a lightweight one i pulled off a terc at the scrapyard. the one in the c...

man, that is EXTREMELY useful information to me. i wondered if i should have more hooked up to my weber, like the vacuum assist and such, but i read that it was best to do away with all of that. and i see what you mean and my wording, when i said vacuum hose i just meant a rubber hose, like would ru...

ha! from what my fiancee tells me it just might be ADsorb, but she's the expert so i'll have to consult her. the car smells fine now though (minus my musky personal odour), so that's not a problem. archinstl, i'm not sure what you mean about the vacuum being powered. are you referring to the port on...

this will be embarrassing and clearly illustrate my lack of mechanical knowledge and experience, but the info might be useful to someone with a similar lack of skills so i'm going to post what was up anyway. so i looked at the diagrams in the manual to find the charcoal canister. i looked under my h...

got the inclinometer in last weekend, it's so insanely awesome. took a little time but wasn't actually that difficult. i followed gtssportscoupe's directions for the most part: https://tercel4wd.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=389&p=7829&hilit=inclinometer#p7829 the only thing i did diffe...

thanks petros, i searched the forum and found someone talking about the charcoal filter but didn't think it applied to mine since the leak was only at the back and there were no visible leaks under the hood. i did hear a new sound, sort of a whine, when i popped the hood though so maybe that's comin...

hey all. i filled up my gas tank a few days ago, and noticed the pump shut off a few times before the tank was anywhere near full. i wasn't concerned because that happens depending on the pump, i find. so i drove about 20 kms home, everything was fine. drove it again later that day a few kms down th...

oh sh*t, sorry man - i had only seen it called a clinometer so that's what i searched for. i was wondering though, as it would measure an INCLINE! follow your instinct david, follow your instinct...

thanks guys, i always appreciate your help! i searched through several areas of the forum but can't find anyone's experiences putting this in, just peeps selling them and finding pics of them. most people i've talked to are confident the connection should be in there though, and i have to pull the d...

oh man, i thank you for your kind words but i'm afraid i have absolutely zero experience with that kind of thing. i know the plug that i left on the car at the scrapyard had four wires going to it, are you saying i should get that plug and splice it in? how will i know which are park brake lights et...

i was freaking out for the last two days because every time i went to tercel4wd.com i got some girl at a university and a bunch of bullsh*t links! thank heavens this resource is not lost! the reason i was in such a hurry to get back on here is to ask if anyone knows if all tercels have the necessary...

thanks man, i appreciate it! i have a few more questions for you now though. where is the vacuum advance? i've seen it mentioned on this forum a few times but i'm pretty new to messing around with engines so if you could even just describe what it looks like to me that would be perfect. i think my t...

i've got a weber 32/36 carb on my 86 terc. it ran great until my dad messed with both the timing and the carb, and now i'm trying to set it back up again but am having problems. does anyone else on here have experience tuning a 32/36? if someone does then i'll list the problems i'm having now. thanks!

hey, i spilled milk in the rear passenger side footwell a few months ago and for those that don't know, nothing stinks worse than old milk. so i ripped out and threw away the underlay and washed the carpet numerous times, then sprayed it with an enzyme cleaner. it improved dramatically but i can sti...
