im so excited. Yesterday i got my new tercel. Its an 84 3A-C with a/c and power steering. only 175000kms on the clock aswell. Its so joy. i keep going outside and checking on it. the bodies straight as and theres no rust. Its white like the old tercel but in far better condition. Its a totally different driving experience to the 3A-SCV. It feels torquier lower but doesnt like to rev as much as the SCV. The SCV would rev up to 5500 - 6000 easy and have power right out. New 3A-C doesnt feel as revvy. Anyway i could talk about my tercel all day but its just joy and i love it. Hey do i have permission to put Tercel4wd.com sticker on the back and do you guys have any designs?

WOW !
That is a clean engine bay ! Unbelievable for a 21 year-old car, even if garaged.
Does it never rain there?
Congrats !

Yeah i installed the interior lights. They look good at night time cause they light up the footwells, The UV lights light up the stereo and the green ones in the back light up the seats. And i spent like 6 hours cleaning my engine bay one day. Started at the top and worked down to the bottom with degreaser and a toothbrush and a rag. Took a while but its worth it

Well -
You certainly did do an excellent job on that bay !
I guess I will have to treat Goldie to it one day - after I get the %#@*^%# hesitation out ...
I had an '83 SR5 brand-new in '83, and it was the same color as yours. I still have a number of pix of that car - it was a sweetie...
