Hello from Yakima WA, Meet Mr. T
Re: Hello from Yakima WA, Meet Mr. T
I'm from Belgium YakSr5, wouldn't be surprised if my 4WD Wagon is the last one on the roads in the entire country. No need for a pic I think, it sounds pretty straightforward. It's not a priority anyway, but a good reason to snap up a set of seats if and when I come across some in good condition, especially since it sounds like an easily reversible modification.

That is awesome FRQ! I really like how your car turned out. I am currently hunting for the same MR2 wheels you have for my car.
I have been trying to make the visible mods to the car period correct. all the non tercel bits are from 80's Toyota sports cars.
If you can find some i definitely recommend the Supra seat, They are way more comfortable than stock, have crazy adjustments and also sit about 1-2" lower.
With those seats and the Celica GT steering wheel, It feels like a Very very slow sports car lol

Found a Pic of my Skidplate. It is made out of 1/4" UHMW plastic. I was going to go with aluminum, but my buddy already made one for his car so i just used his as a template and cut it out for mine.
It worked great, bounced many rocks out of the way, and slid on some others. super light too!

Re: Hello from Yakima WA, Meet Mr. T
Hey man, so I'm in the process of getting some wheels made for the Tercel from fifteen52.YakSr5 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 21, 2018 1:12 pm @LowBuckCanuck
The tire size is a 215 70 r15. They are 15" Aluminum rims off a An Ford Escort GT, i have a set of those, and a two spares on wheels from a Saturn SW2
I have a set of 205 75r15 tires that will go on next. They are about a 1/4" taller at 27" and about 1/2" thinner.
I used your car as a reference (I used your pictures from the forum). I hope that's cool with you.
The wheels I'm planning on getting are 15x7 +40. They're going to protrude about an inch more than yours but 5mm less tire poke making it about 20mm more poke in the end (since I'm going with 205/70R15s and I think you're running 215/70R15s)
Based on your fitment, do you think the outer and inner fender can clear these wheels?
