Re: DLX 4WD terc in victoria, bc

Unless the car is otherwise in near perfect condition, the price seems bit high for needed a major repair. Buy carefully.

Re: pics of other projects

I have owned and worked on VW, Porsche, Mercedes Benz, and I have worked on BMWs, Audi and other German cars. they are not cleaver, just weird-sometimes stupid. They use a very odd way to solve a problem, not "constrained" by what others in the industry are doing (often to their detriment)...

Re: '98 4wd in Fort Collins

I have never seen one w/2wd/4wd. I think the seller does not know any better, it is AWD until you lock out the center diff to get a true 4x4. Our Tercels only have the locked center option since they do not have the center diff. I like that, lighter and simpler than AWD and it get better fuel econom...

Re: DLX 4WD terc in victoria, bc

those are MR2 wheels. They sell on E-bay for $150 each! Worth as much as the car. I wonder what "rear axle work" means, bearing?

Re: Front Axle-Shaft

The two best places to find them are Craig's list, you might use "crazedlist" to do multiple Craig's list searches, here: http://crazedlist.org/ Many good buys are worth traveling a ways to get. The other is to keep your eyes open for them as you drive around, and stop, or leave notes on o...

Re: '98 4wd in Fort Collins

that is an '89 Corolla All-Trac (not a '98). This is as good a list as any to put it on, there is an All-trac list but it has almost no activity. This model of Corolla is pretty rare for some reason, many on this list (including myself) have also owned an All-trac. It should be put in the "comp...

Re: Tercel Inclinometer install

Welcome to the list!

The 86 Tercel sold in North America never had the incliometer on it, it must have come from an '83 or '84. Where did you get it?

Post pictures of your car!

Re: pics of other projects

it belonged to a hippie and has the most ridiculous paint job, as you can see. You just do not have any sense, nor appreciate of fine art! Why it looks like some hippy, high on some illegal substances no doubt, must have spent a whole hour or so, and about $6 worth of spray paint, to make that mast...

Re: Tercel interchangable parts

While deep in surgery, you could shoehorn in the current 4 cylinder Tacoma engine/gearbox (22re?) that puts out 170hp. Then it would be a "Tercel RWD twin cam V V i" :wink: The 22r engine is a single cam engine as I recall. And though powerful and lots of performance stuff available, I do...

Re: Tercel interchangable parts

I think that all of the toyota models used the same internal regulator alternator from about 1985 and newer. I have seen a newer corolla alternator in an '86 Tercel 4wd, it had the wide poly-v belt pully on it (used on the newer serpentine belt installation), but it bolted up and plugged in just fin...

Re: My First car...best u can get for 300 bucks haha its a 1985

I like the roof rack, how is it held on?

Oil based paint should hold up better to nicks and scratches, but if you have latex on there now you either have to stick with latex or strip it off before you add oil based paint. Never put oil over latex, but you can go the other way.

Re: WTB: power steering crossmember

do you have the power rack and pump already? I might be able to find a cross member for you at the local wrecking yard, they have two Tercel wagons in inventory, do not know if they are PS or not. PM me if you can not find a cross member and I will check the local yard sometime this week.

Re: My First car...best u can get for 300 bucks haha its a 1985

looks like a good buy for $300, even with the rust. It would be nice if you can find an SR5 instrument cluster with a tach in it, it would go with the rest of the car. BTW, you can post your pictures this way: you copy the "IMG" line on the pop-down menu for each picture from the photo sha...

Re: Tercel interchangable parts

The '88-94 (?) corolla all-trac (awd model) has the larger rear axle with 4.1:1 ratio, this can be swapped into the tercel but it has rear drum brakes (larger size than the Tercel4wd). Also the front struts on this car are larger dia. (2" dia vs. 1.5" of the Tercel) and can be swapped into...
