Re: air bubbles from tank hose at fuel filter

That is a good first step dlb. Second step can be to connect that gas bottle into rubber lines, which you see in Pauls picture. Then you can check if you have still bubbles. If you do, then you know that they come from the main fuel lines under the car. I did swap them to both of my cars lately so I...

Re: Wanted Manual Transmission for 2wd swap

Are you buying a manual Tercel 4wd transmission to a hatchback? Then you will need a bit more stuff and a lot of mods. You will need at least both clutch and brake pedals, whole transmission, clutch cable, rear axle and driveshaft to begin with. Tercel 4wd gearbox has a slot for rear driveshaft and ...

Re: 1987 Tercel 4wd project

You spotted correct the R8 rer233. In another picture there is bright red Renault R12 parked right behind my Tercel. Oh, they imported even R5 to U.S. I can understand that part availability is a bit harder with LeCars because they are not than common in U.S.A. Here you can still get parts for them ...

Re: 2023 Meet & Greet (Colorado)

I agree. The scenery was really great but on the other hand there are still nice places to visit in your country. I have done two trips to U.S.A. in 10 states and there is a lot of interesting nature places still left based what I saw. Everything from deserts and forests to lakes, oceans and mountai...

Re: Engine tick when warm tercel 86

Can you hear engine tick only on highway speeds? Then it could also come from bearings, gearbox etc. When I try to listen these noises, I will also test engine on same speed on neutral, on highway, clutch pressed etc. If you hear the tick on every single way on high RPM then you know its the engine....

There are a couple of old threads also in this forum and you want to install...

Re: 1987 Tercel 4wd project

Thank you all again. I never knew that R-Renaults were also sold in the states. You have owned some interesting cars then rer233. As a bonus, here are some additional pictures from same car meetings that may be interesting to you. If you look them precisely, you may see some cars that you've just me...

Re: observations on my first t4 transmission disassembly

Looks interesting. And good that you have some spare parts for those transmissions. I have never opened myself a transmission but who knows when that day will come. These pictures and Roberts video will be helpful for sure in that case.

Re: Blowing black smoke and is running rough.

Hi! I saw that you had a electronic igntion conversion kit on the way to your euro tercel, where did you find that? /Jonas (Sweden) Hi Jonas, unfortunately InSaneTercel87 has not been active since last year but I may know an answer to your question. You can find a used US Tercel 3A distributor from...

Re: 1987 Tercel 4wd project

Ok, it is time for the Autumn update of BEA. Driving BEA was a lot of fun and I managed to drive a couple of thousand kilometers with it during summer. It did not need a lot of attention, but again something minor was fixed, like a minor oil leak and a broken distributor caused by a failed distribut...

Very nice! 10 Tercels in the same place. You just don't see that everyday, do you?
