Aquired: 1992 Toyota Tercel

[AstroVannin]

wouldnt it be fun tho to see what the stock motor can take? 1.3 litre of fury 80hp haha

Its a 1.5 (the 4EFTE is a 1.3) .... and the anwser is, about 15psi on ultra 94 with an SAFC hack for a tune.

[AstroVannin]

Oh, it is !

[starchland]

Theres a classmate at the school I go to that has cleaned his up very well infact he rocks Honda Si's

Looks superclean though I have to hand it to him.

Im asking this in a honda forum, where I know there are alot of knowledgable people and my bros to lead me in the right direction thank you very much. gosh newbs these days

it was on tercelonline, but i couldnt register there for the life of me (couldnt get past the bot check thing wtf)

the guy selling the kit was qadir03

basically i need to get my hands on some lowering springs and an intake for now.

[slammed4thgen]

is that a user over there?

yep, an older guy at that!

i think he has the fastest tercel anywhere lol

[tomas]

oops.
I said that cause everytime I read something non-HONDA its always ugly.

we arent douches here

well...some of the people are. but alot of us are enthusiasts so if its car, we are good!

haha the jury is still out on the looks of this car. but with a few mods it may be acceptable. I know its hard straying from the honda family for me!

Zia's (qadir03) game is tight. It was a SOLID SOLID setup, he used it daily for a long time. Plus is MS, so ita easily transferable to another project if you kill, or get bored of, the Tercel. HEs got the K sports for it too.

For what he wants, dolar wise ... you cant miss.. Plus its already professionally tuned on 87 octane.

I used to haev e*** sleeves and KYB GR2s on mine, I was preyy happy about it. You will NEVER get that car as low as you want it though. Toyotas NEVER look low.

Like I said though, TO isnt going to be the wealth of information your hoping for... Theres alot of lmis information and ricerdom there.

check out tercel-1 on tercelclub

i always wanted to do a 4e-fte, 185hp tmic turdcel...thats a hell of a sleeper!

You're thinking of Alfradio .... Consistant 13's on a stock 4EFTE on hi boost, stripped out EL31 coupe on slicks.

NOT the fastest though. Deny (boostjunkie) does mid 11's all day long. Red EL42 (newer style).
