World's worst Tercel

[nishy]

Dude, your Tercel is better looking than half of what BMW makes nowadays. Congrats, you've done the impossible...you've made a disposable '90s Toyota cool. Mad Props.

Thank you so much That was the whole goal with this car from the beginning - to make people take a second look at an otherwise unnoticed junk economy car



The paint came in last night so I'm gonna try to paint the bumper if I have time this weekend. If not, I'll post pics whenever it's done. Shit is $25 a can

You very well could do it but I feel like re-engineering something that Toyota spent thousands on creating probably won't do as good of a justice BUT I'm always into watching projects. Say you do install a water/meth kit and it helps with NOX how are you going to take into account the unused space in the combustion chamber? The only truly reliable and good way to do it would be running a standalone where you can adjust your fuel going in along with that meth kit. The meth kit would help no doubt but there are density differences between meth/water and burnt/nonvolatile exhaust gasses that are designed to go in. As I said I'm all in to watch the project happen I'm just warning you ahead of time because the EGR delete is one of the most confused mods on street cars I've seen.

Love it!

Yo, I was thinking about it more, and if I go through with the EGR delete, I'll probably add on a water injection system to help keep intake/head temps down. Should be adequate cooling compared to the EGR system

Little video of me doing some drifting last night haha

Lil thing

I was rubbing so fucking bad on the rear passenger. Yall saw the first part of the pull I did, so I went back and pulled it a bit more and tried to even it out a little and have it more like a flare. It looks like ass, but it barely rubs at all now which is perfect. Tire is still destroyed from the one day of driving I did




My sticker collection grows




And I can 3 wheel on slight inclines




I don't really take very many pictures of my car, but my fitment all around is really tight and really good. Overall I'm pretty happy with how it sits but I wish it could be lower...
Might not have the BBS on there for too much longer as I would rather have low than good fitment. Thinking of going to a 13x6.5 or 7J with some 175/50s


Here's a bonus mega high def pic of me and some of my friends after a meet last night (miata and KA S14)

Duuuuuuudeeeee, paint match the grey on your bumpers and the roof it would look SO good.

My roof is chalkboard paint which is hella fun at meets and shit, so idk about that, but the back bumper maybe






edit: I've now bought two cans of color matched aerosol paint and will match the bumper lmao

Ah okay, I just feel like aesthetic isn't worth possible detonation but that's just me. Sorry about the confusion with the LXZ's I totally missed the post with the on the car. Now that I see it I agree they don't match the paint and style of the car at all. New wheels look a lot better!

Loving the new BBS on there.

Thank you guys! I'm so in love with them you have no idea haha

Here's some shots from my friend @wilsonbr on instagram. Awesome guy with an awesome GTI so you should go follow him

One of my best friends, Cole took this pic last night I'm so happy with how it's sitting

[nishy]

front firment on both sides (you can't even stick a finger in it )



rear driver side fitment



and rear passenger fitment before pull



and after pull, it's tighter than it looks, I promise













Final specs with adapters, F: 15x6.5 -8 R: 15x6.5 +2

I love this little thing, those honda wheels are way too cool but the LXZ's will be nuts. Also I'm curious why you want to do an EGR delete on this thing? Unless you are having issues with the system there's no reason to delete it. A lot of kids think EGR deletes are going to make their car faster or change their exhaust or shit like that when really all it does is keep combustion temperatures down during cruising. At WOT and idle your EGR isn't operating and if you get rid of it you run the risk of pre-igntion/detonation because of excessive combustion temps. There's reasons for EGR deletes on actual racecars with programmable ECU's but on street cars with oem ECU's you'll just shorten the life of your engine.

Not sure if you had a typo, or misread, but the LXZ's were already on and then off again lol. They're too shiny and dont fit the look of the car like i want.

Reason for EGR delete is 99.9% aesthetic. I'm probably going to do it next year if I still have this thing because it'll be 25. With the whole EGR system removed, and the AC and PS deleted, the bay would be 10000% cleaner

Less clutter, less parts to fail, cleaner intake manifold, cleaner/clearer path for intake gasses to flow into the engine. If he tunes for it, he would also see more power, like the non EGR 5efe's made 7hp over the EGR 5efe's.

Also, the 5e DIS is a pain in the ass to tune, just like any other Toyota DIS coil on plug engine. Only way to do it is get a standalone. I've heard both good and bad about piggybacks on toyota ECUs
