Observations on Wheel and tire size combinations, early vs late final drive ratio, and relationship to fuel economy/ drivetrain durability. Just a place to record some data, observations and conjectures on relationships of Tire/ wheel size and weight, early vs late final drive ratio, fuel economy da...

Currently running 195 75 14 on the 1986 SR5 Stock suspension components and ride height on front. Rear with adjustable MA700 air shocks. The front rub barely when suspension bottoms out on bumps. This combination does give an extra 1.5” ground clearance. Personally these are a little too tall/heavy ...

Ma700’s are a great option. The adjustability is great when you want to take heavy loads or drive rough roads. Make sure to protect those airlines so they don’t get caught by road debris or fetched up when moving things on the interior. I used a little irrigation tubing on the exposed portion of the...

Tercel stories are the best. Good work.

Nice! A little closer to home. Might make this one!

Slightly weathered patina with original graphics and sweet interior . How’s it look underneath?

Tercels in the wild! Hooray!

Another Isuzu diesel: 9959CE22-D8E9-439C-9D95-AF578A4F0B2C.jpeg Saw one of these the other day. Looks like the owner is taking very good care of it. (1981?)

Carib is smaller by almost all metrics.

These always fascinated me as a kid.

I believe that is a Fourth generation 2012 to 2016 Subaru Impreza in comparison photo.

Toyotise, how did you come across your AE115? Do you mind telling us how much it cost you? I know some people consider price a private matter so no worries if you'd rather not discuss, I'm just curious. I paid for it to be imported. Bit of a price range depending on how you do it. $5500 on the low ...

Ok, our third corolla looked bit different to Japanese 3rd generation Sprinter Carib 4wd. It looked much more like ordinary Corolla station wagon with 4wd system. The Japanese one looks more cool and is way more detailed. The euro version got that “bug-eye” front end. Toyota called that the “Rosso”...

I would refute the AE115 is more like the AL25 than the AE95. Maybe according to some metrics. The driven spirit of this car though feels another matter. It carries the spirit of the AL25 Tercel into a new era. The AE115 is in our era what the AL25 Tercel was to its peers, a smaller, lighter, more ...
