fowcbler Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Well, this is neither a starlet, or paseo but still a very close relative. I recently completed a DIS 5efe to Turbo 5efhe swap in my 95 tercel, and just thought I would share some photos of it. Since I have gotten knowledge from this site, as well as help and support, I figured I should at least show my little contribution...started with this...but I actually had steelies before those wheels and no air dam kit either.That's all...for now!!!

fowcbler Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Spec? On what particular part are we referring to? Just curious so I can answer a little more clearly... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 of the whole car ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fowcbler Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Oh...LOLIt is a 1995 Toyota Tercel, came stock with a DIS 5efe motor. It now houses a 2nd generation 5efhe with a turbonetics T3, and various supporting mods. Haven't done much with it since the swap, just been working on the Tune...using an Emanage Blue. Right now I basically have it tuned for no boost, and just taking it easy and baby steps so I don't blow anything up. When I get the cash together, it will go to a professional tuner so I know it's safe to boost around on.Need more info? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Galliano Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Very nice mate, loving the colour! Great spec too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fowcbler Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks, color is actually the color they used on 1998 dodge vipers...Went with the matte black engine paint to make the blue items under the hood stand out more, plus black is simple and easy to paint with.The motor has been good so far...boosted hi compression makes for a really responsive motor. Just have to play it safe and make sure the tune is spot on so I don't kill it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dzign Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Wow lovely car mate ;)Particularly the matt black engine bay, makes your eyes focus on the juicy bits!!! ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steed Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 looks awesome, tercel is like the real bigger bro of the 'seo, guess it'd be nice to have real rear seats! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mo3 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 looks awesome meng Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Indeed Steed, The Paseo is a Tercel Coupe. You look at the side of the Tercel and you tell me, bar the bump strips, that they are not the same bodylines! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
