The interior is GORGEOUS! And I love your rims too! Did the power sunroof come stock?

Thanks!

The interior is from an 87 deluxe model (I swapped it into my 86 SR5). Rims are from a 88-91 Corolla GTS fwd. The power sunroof was a factory option.

i think that's the best car toyota ever made, except for the supra of course

Yeah, but the Supra takes premium fuel

That Realy is the nicest interior Ive seen in a SR5,Nick! And when I think of all~those~extras,I am consumed with envy :blink: !!! Are you going to go-over the exterior next summer and shoot for "Best in the Western hemosphere"

?

If I'm not wrong that interior came off a deluxe. B)

true

i think u have the most options any tercel ever came with

Thanks again for the nice comments!! I am lucky with the options that I do have. I guess if I had cruise control and the offroad package, then I really would have all the options.

Thanks to Gasonline Fumes I did get my hands on a factory fog lamp switch from Europe. I will be installing this soon too.

I am really happy with my tercel, except for the body. Maybe I'll find time to do it next summer.

There are a few people on this forum who I feel have much nicer tercel's. Options and interiors can always be moved from car to car (except the pwr sunroof), but a perfect body is hard to find.

true, but the body can usually be fixed (if its rust, etc), and optional accessories for the tercel are starting to be rare to find

Excellent car!
Do the 14" wheels & tyres cause any problems?(ie reduced turning circle and/or speedo acuracy)
I only ask because I have a 1986 in blue and would like to raise the suspension by a couple of inches (I think it would look silly up in the air with 13" rims under those wheel arches)
If anyone can offer help, I'd appreciate it :rolleyes:

Hi, welcome to the forum! Thanks for the compliments on my car.

I put lower profile tires (185/55r14) on my 14" rims, so the outer diameter is actually slightly less than the outer diameter of stock 13" rims and tires. If you put 185/60/14" tires on 14" rims, you would have exactly the same outer diameter tires as those that come stock.

If you want high ride height, there is a fellow on this forum who put 195/60/15 on 15" rims and did not have any rubbing problems.

Anytime you change the outer diameter of your tire from stock size, it will change your gearing and speedometer. Bigger wheels means your gearing will be lower and your speedo will read lower speed than you are actually going. Smaller wheels means your gearing will be higher and your speedo will read higher speed than you are actually going.

Thanks, we've increased the wheel & tyre sizes on land rovers before and it causes problems on the inner arch. Just wondered!
This is my 3rd Tercel and the best one I've had. 90k miles on the clock now and the rust mice are starting to chew at the back wheel arches but she's still quite happy!

Right on! Gotta set some traps for those rust mice.
