Sleepyhead...Thx for moving it.
Is there no multiqoute?
Had some dash/cluster lights out so i changed all lights to red leds other than blinker indicators/high beam indicator/Defroster switch/the two ac buttons and low fuel light....those got white leds......Need to add a glove box light rear dome light and ashtray light. Fun fact...factory ashtray light is fiber optic from cigarette lighter.....It sucks btw but is just cool as hell that they had fiberoptics in the 80s.
Brakes.....Im going to just replace front rotors and pads for now as it feels like it may have a warped rotor......Once i figure out exactly what i need to do the rear disc conversion ill completely redo the brake system front to back.....i did find a post on using mr2 front rotors as a larger? upgrade rotor i believe but i need to go back and re-read it unless one of you guys can tell me exactly what i need....same on the fx16 rear disc parts need....obviously rotor and caliper but how does the caliper mount?
Found the motor mounts.
Headlights...one is broke completely around the ball and was looking at the sky lol but stuff enough junk behind it and its fixed....ish. I have a 88 or 89 tercel with single sealed beam lights and i can make those fit and look factory from what i can tell and also 87-88 nova is the same car from dash forward and has dual sealed beams that will fit although i will need the grille and hood but idk if id rather go single sealed or dual sealed beams.....either way the composite lights are goin to be history.
Cluster...Just did a quick search of the mr2 cluster and it looks very similar but id rather have the fx16 cluster.....also saw a few 80-90s digital clusters that would be sweet to swap in.
7afe swap....Ive done some research on the 7age and would realy like to do that if im going to do a swap....150 ponies sounds like a blast :p. Once again tho all info i found is so scattered and cobbled together with broken pics and links i just cant make heads or tails of it all and would like it in one consolidated spot.....What all is needed other than the 7afe and 4qage head? Honestly i could go buy everything now if i had a solid plan laid out in front of me. Also saw a writeup on a 6speed swap in a ae92 i think....is that possible on the ae82 fx?
Vacuum delete......I did a full vacuum delete night before last along with all vacuum canisters etc.....So far it seems to run better and feels spunkier and way more responsive with no lag when stomping the gas and so far no more runon after turning the key off.....only vacuum line is from carb to distributor.....i used the bottom port on the distributor as that was the line i couldnt get off so its the one that got used.....is there any one of the three that should be used over the other? It still idles like complete crap tho....barley idles...spits and sputters...smells funny....has a wierd fluttery sound in the exaust....it did this before so the vacuum delete did not cause or effect it. Also have not deleted the egr valve yet.
Rims/tires......in need of tires pretty bad....Atm its still rocking factory steel wheels and factory size tires...170/70/13 i believe is whats on there....Trucke....i belive your the one with the white fx16 and the lenso vpd's correct? So far those are the closest things ive seen to something i like...the wheels i can find but the tires in your size are almost impossible to find......any other tire size that will fit those and not be dinky? Or any 5 spoke 14 or 15s so i can use a size like you recommended earlier? i apparently suck at looking for rims without know make and model of rim.....only thing i care about is 5 spoke and maybe 6 spoke and not flush spokes or badly curved outward spokes if that makes sense.
Exaust.....Any headers that fit the 4ac? or any that can be modified to fit fairly easy? At minimum ive got to get the factory flex pipe replace asap....also im getting rid of the cat as im in florida and we have no inspections etc.
Gotta replace alternator as its not charging the battery but the charge light aint coming on ( yes it comes on with key in run position) and car dont die when i pull off battery cable.....never seen one not charge but still keep car running???
Thx for the replies guys....I was beginning to lose hope on getting any help with this little guy and i really love driving this.....this is by far the funnest car to drive ive ever had. Its been getting all kinds of attention lately and most think its a tercel lol...People come up and start sayin they aint seen a tercel on the road since the 90s XD
