The 83 Tercel Jumping the pile and romping the woods.

more light duty jumping with the tercel this time, then taking on some of the woods. eventually i got stuck, and was working on that until it got dark out. but nothings stuck now. the tercel uses a tractor battery from now on.

Thanks! It was lots of fun! I love that car. Toyota did something great making that machine.

How would toyota have the comment removed??? :) Toyota aren't an evil government or some shit, they're a really good caring company, who've gone above and beyond what other company's would do to fix problems their cars might have. They recalled all of the cars that had the POSSIBILITY of unlikely gas pedal sticking, and made it so it couldn't happen. Then the owner of toyota publicly apologized for any lack of quality, or injury to anyone in anyway. Like to see an American company do that...

Tough little car.

@tommartyn I'd say get a K-Car or the similar G-Car over an Omni, they have more durable trannies. And if you can get the 5-speed stick, with an Omni\Horizon you're looking at 0-60 in 8-seconds stock, though they won't last too many races.

And the grille will probably have one of the plastic tabs holding the top broke, almost every Omni\Horizon\GLH I've ever seen has a broken grille tab, or a broken grille altogether.

From what i've heard the weber carbs work pretty well on toyota engines. they are supposed to be more simple. That probably helps. Yeah, probably gives it a little more power, and probably definitley uses more gas...  An automatic tercel? Doesn't sound very fun :)

I've wanted an omni or horizon, but havent found any yet.

[Ryoku75]

@tommartyn Meh, never hurts to ask. The one I'm looking at has a weber carb on it for some reason, probably to give it more "oomph" since its an auto.

Ever jumped a Horizon\Omni? I had one but the tranny was about to go.

:) I don't know if you can tell from the vid, but we are jumping it off of a random dirt pile :) We aren't the best for advice on making the beast better :)

This is a 4-A engine, (from a corolla, some one transplanted it) your's will have a 3-A (c?) Beast in the fucker. Good engines for sure. Not sure why some one transplanted a 4-A in this thing. either would do. But seriously, they are good engines, will treat you well, no tuning required. :) Enjoy the toyota Enginerring

@tommartyn I may be getting one of these shortly, any tuning suggestions or advice?
