Re: I finally got alloys!

Yeah - I couldn't believe the guy was only asking $150 and I couldn't believe he took my offer of $120 when I told him that I'd need to replace the tires in about 3 more months. They seem a bit heavier than the 13" steel wheels I had on there previously, but they look way better and it was gett...

Full set of freshly painted stock T4WD steel wheels: $40

This is a full set of steel wheels that I painted about 2,000 miles ago so they still look great. I'll post them on craigslist for more, but wanted to offer them at $40 to the forum first. Tred ain't great, but they'll get you through the summer. Located in Portland, OR. PM me if you're interested. ...

I finally got alloys!

Hi everyone. Long time, no post. Sorry for being MIA, but I've been happily cruising along in my T4WD for the last several months now that my engine work has reached steady state. However, I suspect that you'll be hearing more from me this summer as I prepare to do a few remaining jobs, namely a ful...

Re: PNW "Snowpocelips" of Jan 2012! (lots of pics)

Ah - Portland didn't see even one inch from this storm. I was very jealous at the time, and even more so now! Great photos, Petros:)

I'm still hoping for a snow storm like this (at least in the mountains some time soon)! Nice photos and video!

Re: Barto's Ultimate Adventure Wagon Build-up (Update may 18

I am still working on front struts and believe that I may have somthing in the next couple of weeks. I have found an insert that will work in the tercel strut-body with camry springs, but the valving is not what I want it to be so. Waiting to here back from bilstein as to wheather they can easily a...

Re: Repair Shop Recommendations? (Seattle area)

too many bad experiances with regular repair shops, that is why many of us do our own repairs. A-men, brother. I used to be of the opinion that my '97 Civic was too complex for me to service on my own, but after learning a TON from the members on this list (and from the factory service manual - FSM...

Re: 85 Tercel SR5 4x4 wagon Cl in Seattle WA

I think the comment about getting a note from mommy is meant to dissuade whiners from making excuses about not having the $$ ready at the time of the sale. I've sold lots of stuff on CL and there's always some story about someone needing an extra few days to get money together or to wait until their...

Re: Detailing Thread

So I've been anxiously awaiting some info about cleaning wheels. Can you provide us with any useful information? I'm planning on cleaning the alloy wheels on my other car (A '97 Civic) and I thought some professional help would be useful. My wheels are in poor condition - LOTS of pits, lots of black...

Soft Brakes

Hey gang, Long time, no post. I've been happily humming along for several months without any major projects for the Terjunken, but the rain is back and I'm starting to think of new ways to keep myself occupied on my weekends with projects. The next item on my maintenance agenda is to address my brak...
