Re: a YELLOW hello from Alberta, Canada!!!

I am still running those brakes now and they are still AWESOME!!! Heavy braking from 130kmh and no brake fade! 20,000+ kms put into the brakes now. (with 15" T-rated tires)

Re: Help me save an 86 T4WD DLX!!! Need auto trans!!!

SOOOO........ Didn't make it to the yard, closed at 6pm.... BUT.... The Goose!!! SHE DRIVES!!! Before I headed off to the yard, I wanted to just look over The Goose to see if there was anything else I needed..... Before I bought the car, I was hoping that the Auto was ok, and that it was something e...

Re: Help me save an 86 T4WD DLX!!! Need auto trans!!!

Besides... ("Auto" means my Dad AND my Mom can drive it too, hopefully spread some of the T4WD "virus" to them... I know my Dad is VERY close to "infection" ;) ) ...I already have my "Humble Bee"! :) (I was NEVER supposed to have "The Goose" to begin...

Re: Help me save an 86 T4WD DLX!!! Need auto trans!!!

I would keep looking for the right tranny. Autos are not as fun to drive but it sounds like you could have a trouble free tercel for years to come! So far, he's made the best point so far. Why mess with a good thing? WHO will be disappointed with an Auto DLX T4WD that made it to 500,000 km?! Especi...

(BTW, both the "Auto" and "RWD" are still very much in consideration!)

Re: Help me save an 86 T4WD DLX!!! Need auto trans!!!

A 4.1 is right at 3000 RPM (plus or minus just a tad) at 60 MPH. My then-new '83 was much quieter at highway speeds than my current '86, even cutting Goldie some slack for being 29 and a "little looser" than a new '83. I also don't recall the '83's acceleration as being any better than my...

Re: Help me save an 86 T4WD DLX!!! Need auto trans!!!

I vote for the "sex change"-convert it to 4wd m/t. Did it last year to a one-owner a/t equipped '87 with 139k i'd been stalking for 5 years. Car has all original paint (ivory-no clear coat to bust up) and NO RUST-unheard of here in the north east. I used my rusty '84 sr5 as a donor vehicl...

Re: Help me save an 86 T4WD DLX!!! Need auto trans!!!

It sounds like a fair bit of work. I just wanted one T4WD. Almost 2 months later and I am looking into a 3rd?! Haha. To be honest... since I've gotten my first T4WD, I have been dreaming of a RWD only Tercel. To do it, I would need a "donor manual car and transfer stuff over." I would also...

Re: Help me save an 86 T4WD DLX!!! Need auto trans!!!

I don't even like Automatics. Maybe I should consider giving it a sex change as well. Anyone have COMPLETE Manual tranny? (Complete enough for a swap?)
