Re: working on Terc2

Nordical,

Slowly but surely,

I’m working out a final few kinks and will be ready to daily it. I was pleased to find the heater working ok after cleaning up the HVAC fan.

Re: Collapsed Rings? Bad idle..

rocksy,

Did you have the distributor out at some point? What you describe sounds like a timing issue. It’s quite easy to be off by a tooth when stabbing the distributor.

Re: Lady ran a red turn signal. What to do now

smellis,

So sorry for you, that really stinks. I hit a deer doing 70 and had similar damage, but less. Fortunately, I have a parts car and got it back together. Good luck. There are still a few around, you might have to find another one.

Re: Sway bar 1985 Tercel SR5

HG, Salvage yards would be your best bet. If you visit the unrelated FB page, Luke Anthony and Timothy Thomas are the goto guys. If you’re not on FB let me know and I can reach out to them for you. It seems these bars may be “spring” steel, so getting one made would likely be cost prohibitive. Chris

Almost exclusively second gen owners here. I suspect a lical junkyard would be your best bet.

Re: 87 4wd terc engine, gas tank and other parts available

Thanks for the pics, I understand you don’t take it off road, but how do you think it would do? How is the low end torque?

Re: Sway bar 1985 Tercel SR5

HG,

If you’re referring to the rear sway bar, I should have one, but not the links for connecting it. With heavier rear springs, I don’t miss the sway bar.

There is also the bar in the front for the control arms that may be called a sway bar, which are you looking for?

Re: Transmission compatability

Dream,

No experience with 2WD, but I would assume not as the AT and MT surely bolt in differently.

Re: working on Terc2

Yes, this is a factory access with a plug, but it’s small enough to make access a challenge with tools.

Your welcome Paul,

Here is a picture from the bottom after installed.

Re: working on Terc2

Paul and David, Thanks for the comments. As David suspected, I’ve had the “captive” nut spin in the past (on other Tercels) and want to avoid this in the future on this car. It’s been a while, but these bolts did come out, though I believe one of the captive nuts had more play/movement than I wanted...

working on Terc2

Hey friends, The transmission failed on the Rusty Frog a few weeks back. While it may have been a little quicker to swap the new transmission in, I decided to get my second Tercel roadworthy. At any rate, I got the front end “back together” with new bushings all around and rebuilt struts. I still ne...
