AlbertaBeef Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Hi from across the pond! I'm the proud long-term owner of a 1991 Toyota Tercel that now has a working 4E-FTE swapped into it. I've found through various Google searches that ukstarletowners seems to be one of the top sources of information as I've needed support, and so I figured it might be time to register and join up! I trust it's OK that I'm not in the UK - I'm at least in the Commonwealth, haha. Here's what it currently looks like: It's pretty clean with a rust-free tercel chassis from the southwestern USA. I painted it Toyota 8P1 (Speedway Blue): The engine fits in to the mounts, but you need to have a harness fab'd for it. Too bad the intercooler cover is a little broken. And this pic is without cleaning for a while... so don't judge too harshly =P I've added some interior touches - seats from a Toyota Paseo (nicer, bolstered and with an extra 3cm of headroom) and the Momo steering wheel ... And it's one of VERY FEW 4th-generation Tercels in Alberta (maybe the only one) with working A/C. Yes, I know it's a heavy, power-robbing feature ... but it was 32-33C a couple weeks ago and this Canadian would melt without A/C at those temps. I'm still running a 10 year old stereo because ... well, it works fine for me, LOL. I have some Pioneer 6.5" two-ways in the front doors and 6.5" three-ways on the rear deck. It's lacking in bass, but works for me. Next step is getting that US cluster changed for a Canadian Paseo one in KPH with a tach ... Then I've many, many upgrades planned. Anyway, it's nice to join you all, thanks for having a great, very useful site! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
