Re: Wanted*** 3ac motor for 87 Tercel wagon.

Hi Zado, use the search above as their are a lot of engine swap information on this forum but as Chris says.plain old 4ac is the easiest. 4afe is great but has issues with fitment and you will need to replace a lot of wiring and fuel system to get the efi working.

Re: 1987 Tercel 4wd project

Hey Nordic, here are the only two I could find they are just TV Ad's. The others were movies were the car was in the background. I've seen some Nordic noir tv series that we get here in Australia that are filmed in Finland. You should sign your car up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=503BO4vQ_54 htt...

Re: 1987 Tercel 4wd project

Looking at your previous post where you show it in a film. Have you thought about registering your car with a movie car wrangler? I have done this with my 1988 Corolla AWD and get paid $1,000 a day to use my car in a film or advert. Its good money. It made it onto the most recent Toyota Corolla Adve...

Re: Rear lift?

Good to change the springs if they haven't been done before. pathfinder springs are popular if you can find some.

Re: A/C

I would put an ad up on the facebook page. Some folks delete the AC or maybe have a parts car they can take one out for you.

Re: Rear lift?

Hi Marty, Another idea for the back is to keep the old saggy springs in the back and get some Monroe MA700 air shocks. These work well with adding a little lift to your car with the benefit you can load them up for up to 4" lift when off road and take them down so its not too fidgety on the roa...

Re: good intentions but a lack of abilities

Not the first time that I think I talked you into a car that has made me wonder if I should have. Sounds like a lot of those are minor items but like you say what else is wrong with it?
Do you still have your vanagon?

Re: 1987 Tercel 4wd project

Great work. Did you need the sticker for the rear hatch that says Toyota? I made an illustrator file that you could take to a signwriter to print. its on here somewhere. Thank you very much Mattel! Thank you for the offer for the sticker. I may need that actually so I need to look for that. A stick...

Re: Souping up a 3A Engine

Hi Chris, Sadly there is no easy way to gain more power easily with these engines. They are just slow cars sadly. I have run both weber and a reconditioned Stock carb and the stock carb is more drivable and doesn't bog down and have flat spots like the weber and also there was very little difference...
