welcome, daset! you're the first fin i've seen on these boards, congrats! there are a few norwegians so the scandinavian tercel love seems to be spreading.

that drifting video is awesome and hilarious. nice driving.

do you know what "RV special" means? this is only the second RV special to appear on here and we were wondering what that classification meant.

I think RV special means some kind trim level or something. Steering wheel and seat covers is different than stock model.

Welcome to the list!

looks like you have nice Tercel4wd there, considering its age. Nice wheels, and I love those slim Euro bumpers and composite head lights! You gotta find an SR5 instrument cluster with the tachometer in it, that will complete the car!

Odd antenna location, is that where they are on all your cars?

'92 Mazda MPV 4wd (wife's daily driver)
'85 Tercel 4wd DLX auto(daughter's daily driver)
'01 Honda Civic (other daughter's daily driver)

it's interesting, here we have the DLX and SR5 trim packages, and it looks like the RV special is sort of between the DLX and SR5: it has cloth seats but no side handles on them, and the contoured steering wheel of '87-'88 SR5's but the DLX dash cluster.

2 things if you want it to last: clean up and stop the rust on the lower part under the molding and paint it your favorite color....and use some old oil sprayed into any holes in the frame and inside the bottom of the doors and hatch to keep the frame intact.

AND....quit having so much fun! This is a serous car! :|

And DON'T mention that SprinterCarib! .....NEVER mention the SprinterCarib....... 8)
Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.
