    Starchland: 1993 Toyota Tercel

    Starchland: 1993 Toyota Tercel

    Specs:

    126 000 km (grandpa miles)
    1500cc 1.5L
    4 speed manual
    83 hp

    no A/C, P/S, P/L, P/W, or tachomter or clock!

    Suspension:

    stock

    Engine:

    stock

    Castrol Syntec

    Electronics:

    stock tape deck 20w tape player

    Brakes:

    stock

    Just did a tune up:

    Oil flush and filter and tranny change
    spark plugs
    air filter
    pcv valve
    throttle body clean
    fuel injector cleaner

    waiting on new cap/rotor and plug wires, maybe fuel filter too?

    This thing isnt actually too bad, its a light car with bicycle tires! but its alright to drive I guess, It can burn out no problem. Layed a nice patch the other day (not hard with 175 width tires)

    peppy and fun to drive the hell out of a light 4 banger. however its no accord

    Future Mods:

    Shift knob
    stereo/speaker upgrade
    custom intake
    tachometer!
    lowering springs?!haha
    tint?
    Headlight conversion?
    drive the fuck out of it
    40+ mpg

    Note:

    -holy fawk I have never seen so much sledge in an engine, even after changing the oil there is still small chunks of sledge when I check the oil. maybe chit oil? maybe lack of oil changes? who knows.

    -car seems to be leaking a bit of oil or something. It starts right up, but there is a bit of white smoke I think after sitting for a few hours.

    -Ill drive this car for awhile until I get attached or it bugs the hell out of me and then ill hopefully get a late civic hatch or another accord if I can find one worth while, those cars never leave you.

    Look for an upcoming part out (92 accord exr)





















    13 inch tires like a schwinn! duct tape holdin it down! 4 speed? boost gears...3rd goes past 130 no prob. 126k. seat rips. 1500cc 1.5L cute AND sexy. Terdcel.

                            Those cars are fun to drive and that 4-speed shift knob is bad ass

                            If you see this engine go, swap in the Paseo motor.

                            The cloth seats from the generation after are really comfortable and quite sporty. You should be able to pick some up from Standard auto for a penny and then some.

                              Well, just randomly found this thread haha. Ive been on here again, mostly lurking, throwin' in a few posts here and there. Well, the Tercel gave up, burning oil - most likely the valve stem seals, but didnt want to invest too much money so I gave her up with 167xxx km. Picked up another '93 LX Sedan with 219xxx km on it. The accord chassis is so smooth on the highway, it actually feels like a real car on the highway. Nice to be back. Anyone on here from back in the day?

                              Let the modding begin
