Mileage?
I know that this one is an oldie for those who know, but
<a href='http://www.toyota-hawaii.com/section_1_ ... ealer_id=1' target='_blank'>200,000+ Toyotas</a>
Look in the top left hand corner when you click the link. For us driving around on this rock we call Hawaii, any car over 100k-150k miles is usually considered high mileage. How may miles do you you have on your Tercel(s)? I hit 100k a little while ago. I was just wondering. How far have you stretched your mileage. I wouldn't mind getting benchmark on how long these bulletproof cars last.

390,000kms (242,000miles) on mine.
I think someone here might have had over 500,000miles, but I can't remember for sure.

Hey, I had the same problem ctish! I remember driving on the Big Island(straight roads with old lava flow fields=no development, no police ). I'd accelerate past about 60mph, and between 70-73mph or so, the whole car would shake fairly violently, then it would stop shaking if i'd go any faster or slower than that speed range. I wouldn't go any faster then 80mph, being that the maximum speed listed for this car was 83mph. I noticed that it was due to an unbalanced tire. I dunno, maybe a possible solution would be to balance tires( it was for me)?
87 w/ the auto tranny needs a rebuild.... Hmmm, I have the 3 speed auto @ about 100,xxx now. No way, needs to be serviced already? Thats reminds me of another question, being that I have an Automatic. I don't remember the Automatic having any overdrive, (is there one??? ).

I had my front wheels balanced, and one of the ball joints replaced. Steady as a rock through 85- the fastest my speedo reads. and I've been a little faster than that. I need a faster speedometer...ctishman wrote:193K+
Also, how do you do 80 on a freeway? When I get to around 73, I start getting this horrible body shake and wobble, and if I were to ever hit 80, I'd lose control entirely.

The speedo from an SR5 plugs right in and will give you a tachometer plus 110mph speedo.Inkyturbo wrote:I had my front wheels balanced, and one of the ball joints replaced.

I have an SR5, but since it's an '83 it only reads to 85 mph.GTSSportCoupe wrote:The speedo from an SR5 plugs right in and will give you a tachometer plus 110mph speedo.Inkyturbo wrote:I had my front wheels balanced, and one of the ball joints replaced.
