You had really great options then on 1st gen Tercel. I have never seen even Tacho on European ones. It could exist on some few ones but most cars come without tacho for sure. Prius electric column sounds interesting. Hopefully we will see also incoming pictures of that when your project proceeds fu...

Got the iac valve installed. The factory 4age one was a weird wax based thermostat valve, which in theory works, but I've heard that they get kind of questionable with age. Also, with me switching to a standalone fuel and spark management system, I need to be in control of the IAC. I am using one fr...

Ehhhh not really. The particular bulkhead connectors I have require a flat surface for the seal to mount to, and the firewall is anything but flat. I have found one good spot, just need to find / make another. Plus, Theres not really all that much room since this car also still has all the AC compo...

Nice updates. 4A-GE starts to look like engine from 2000's with coils on the top. Luckily Tercel has lots of space for those connector spots through firewall. I guess that they will depend just on placement of your ECU inside your car. Ehhhh not really. The particular bulkhead connectors I have req...

that is a lot of fine effort and expense going into a funky old econo-box of a car. that will really be something unique, and quite the sleeper! I am curious what a "DIY megasquirt" is that you are using. it is homemade? can you make one inexpensively? or it is modified megasquirt (that i...

Putting my wagon up for sale. In its current state, it does run and drive, but the engine needs a bit of love. Stock trans, 4wd is functional 2500 obo, may trade a 1st, 3rd, 4th or 5th gen tercel, paseo, or some sort of MD / HD truck. Kansas City, Mo 1986 Tercel 4wd, 7AGE swapped. 7afe block Blue to...

rtv doesnt stick to oily surfaces.

Hey all, Peter indicated 5 synchros, so my “kit” did not include the 5th gear synchro. Two larger and two slightly smaller, both twins as far as I can tell for 1-4 and reverse? I am including a pic of the “missing” 5th gear synchro (the smallest of the 5) from a parts tranny that lost 5th gear. 106...

Saw this poster for sale. Pictures are clear enough to see the specs of the 83-84 tercels! https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/d1047097548?conversionType=search_suggest i-img480x640-1649736958uw1qup28447.jpg i-img640x480-16497369571k6xde51190.jpg i-img640x480-1649736957th4ikf223235.jpg i-img480x640-...

I am wondering if master cylinder was not bench bled. Or not bench bled properly. Or bench bled improperly and is now damaged not the case. i rebuilt the drums with fresh hardware, and got everything set. i kept having a weird false set with the adjusters where i would get them set where the drums ...

Hey Keegan, I can pull a wheel this weekend if you don’t have a pic yet. If you would like a hand some Saturday or Sunday afternoon, let me know. The “keeper” stops them from spinning upwards correct? If so AND the threaded portion of the spacer goes to the rear, then it would be driver’s side “rev...

if no one here has one, try the tercel4wd page on FB.

I would assume the engine has never been apart and machined, thus a standard size crank. If you want to be sure, you could always take the crank to a machine shop and ask them to measure the journals to see if its ever been ground down, if you dont have calipers. the crank specs should be listed in ...

yes. how are you going to know which ones you need without measuring the existing ones??
