demuire Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 Wandering around Wacol today, saw a car that looked a bit unusual. Looked under the bonnet, and hmm, strange! Couldn't recognise the engine, it was SOHC, with factory twin carbs (it even said "Dual Carburettor" or something on the rather strange looking airbox). Looked at the firewall, it said "3A-SU". Never seen one of these before... It looks like a Corolla GP or something. It's a hatch, but on the steering wheel it says "Tercel". Quote
Ruts Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 Did it look like this .... TOYOTA TERCEL/COROLLA II '87-'90 or this ..... TOYOTA TERCEL/COROLLA II AL21,21 '83-'86 Quote

demuire Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Posted April 30, 2005 I think it looked like the former. And no, I think it was FWD. I didn't look too hard though. Quote
1G-GTE KE70 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 I'm pretty sure they are FWD if it's a tercel. hey have you guys seen ten things i hate about you. the loser guy is trying to chat up this chick at a party and says. "I'm getting a Tercel.... It's a toyota." Quote
Ruts Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 I always thought they were boxy looking - maybe thats the newer ones Quote
Mr Revhead[RL] Posted May 1, 2005 Report Posted May 1, 2005 AVOID AVOID AVOID these have the 3a mounted north/south, and are fwd. THEY ARE CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no shit Quote
mikeys toy[RL] Posted May 2, 2005 Report Posted May 2, 2005 they're not bad cars; they're kinda like a saab where the engine sits on the transaxle. my buddy jeff has a 4wd wagon (estate?) out in california it's real slowwwwwww(auto) Quote
Mr Revhead[RL] Posted May 2, 2005 Report Posted May 2, 2005 hehe no they ARE bad cars (by toyota standards) and nick, the gearbox is as weak as piss Quote
styler Posted May 4, 2005 Report Posted May 4, 2005 yeah it got toyota II bages / stickers on it so must be one, i swear the engine said 3e-e but maybe I'm going blind :) Quote
