Nice car! And I also like the blue plaid seats very much. Here in Europe our latest best equipped 1986-1988 4wd Tercels received black plaid seats similar to Japanese RV specials. I am lucky to have them in one of my cars.

AISIN CKT010 works fine in Euro Tercel. I have installed one kit into mine and that one works well. And for some reason every Euro Tercel is DLX. SR5 was never introduced in Europe but we still got a lot of SR5 parts like inclinometer and wide side moldings. Tacho cluster was also introduced in many...

Hi Gabriel, Yes I am from Finland. Thanks. I have been as well several times to Sweden and it is a nice country too. In this case you can order parts without any problems from Rockauto. Tercel transmission is pretty much identical in all continents. Only thing to avoid is to order Automatic transmis...

Hi RetroGrade, there are many differences between many markets but parts are still pretty interchangeable with minor mods. US and European Tercels have different wiring so electrical parts like instrument cluster may be a bit different. US Tercels have a lot of emission stuff and accesories that Eur...

Looks like "heavy duty" springs. I wonder if this Tercel has been used for goods transporting.

However there should be better ways for "heavy duty" suspension.

3A-U motors can have also different carbs & intake manifolds, which affect also engine power.

I have also discovered that European and American Tercels have different weights and springs in distributor. I wonder if distributor internals can affect also power.

I think that diff ratio changes with cars that have VIN around 150000-168000. My oldest Tercel had VIN around 168000 and it had already newer diff ratio.

Thanks! Packaging indicates its made in China, but the the build quality on mine was good. I'm grateful someone is still making them. When I finished installing, I wiped the radiator lightly with a shop rag and the ink came off the warranty sticker... ingenious. No trouble with it so far tho. You a...

Finally spring 2023 is arriving. I have been doing some minor jobs like installing a center console and front window trims. Today I finished repainting a 1987 US/Canada/Japan grille and of course I wanted to test it right away. So I attached some pictures of these jobs. My another 1987 project will...

Nice, some say in Facebook group that 5 Tercels is an optimal amount to own and you are a half Tercel above it. So I hope that you are enjoying your wagons well. Yes, based on Mattels comments you should cut and paste whole roof section. But first you want to check that this sunroof is not leaking. ...

It is good that we start to see more also Tercel gen 1 projects here.

Small challenges can emerge occasionally for everyone who build something new.

On the other hand your project is proceeding forwards since your garage had a first smoke of your build. So good job anyway!

It looks just great! Hopefully they will continue making them. There is still some demand for good quality Tercel radiators out there.

Hi wild, you can maybe find ignition module locally but Rockauto is a good option if you need some additional stuff. They have still pretty good Tercel part selection. I don't know about local meetings but here some members will organize Tercel meet & greet. You can find additional details if yo...
