World's worst Tercel

[rice4life]

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.

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.

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?

Ugh god dammit... I cant stop buying shit for this car

ok, so I had the Kranze for two days, and I ended up ****** how nice they were. Wheels are a 10, car is a 5 and the fact that they had almost no lip and were full polish didn't help either. No bueno. So I gave them to my buddy that has a miata for him to do whatever with.

I went back on stock wheels, and ended up scraping the skirts in half (on each side). Separated the bottoms from the sides. The front lip was basically completely destroyed from how much it scraped on everything. The whole thing was just looking like ass so I took everything off, and even though I'm way higher it's a lot cleaner.

I'm back on the Mobilio wheels because I like them more than the stock steelies.





































Oh yeah.... and I'm waiting on these beauties to arrive from Japan
15x6.5 +17 BBS RS, but they're 4x114 so I'm going to run a 25mm adapter up front, and 15mm adapters in the rear. Fitment is gonna be tight af. After I get them on, I'm going lower for sure. I don't know how seeing that the coils are fairly seized, but I'll figure something out. Ideally I would like to tuck the top of the wheel on the rears, and be level with the front.

No curbing, bends, cracks, peel, or pretty much anything wrong with them. Just a bit dirty





As long as I'm happy with how the wheels sit and look, I'm going to start on the interior. First order of business is going to be the front seats... thinking Bride? We'll see

sad to see her go, loved going through this thread !

By all accounts I should love this car... but I don't . I don't really enjoy it at all. I was hoping that getting a dope set of wheels would fix that but it did not. I have all of the wheels up for sale rn in the DFW area of Texas if anyone is interested. Gonna get something different. Maybe some kind of wagon... anyway, rip Tercel. You were okay

Car is looking good!

[nishy]

Hell yeah! Love those wheels!

Anything new done to the engine? Check out an EGR delete if you don't have smog in your area.

Here's a video of how to clean the EGR, removal is the same but you just don't put it back and plug the holes.

Sadly I do have smog... I was going to delete it anyway, but my inspection is up in January so I figured I'd just wait. I've already replaced the EGR valve and the modulator trying to chase down this EGR code I'm getting lol

I hope my "build" becomes a beacon of some sort for any future stanced Tercel owners who are looking to slam but are lost. There's not much information out there for these as far as fitment/stance... especially for the 5th gens. I tried a lot of things that nobody has done before (or at least not recorded) and learned a lot

this shit is funny

fr I need a real car again

Haven't done anything, but I'm really just sitting back and enjoying it. I get a lot of looks and make a lot of conversation at every meet I go too.... I'm not sure if I want to keep this thing or not. Kinda want to get back in the Lexus game, kinda want to keep this. Eh. It is neat to see it rolling down the highway an inch from the ground though. Here's some pics I like for your time











I've also officially rubbed my side walls smooth on the rear. Got that tight fitment

[Greasy63]

Build some cheapy splitters/diffusers out of some sign material like alumacorr or HDPE. Would be cool to have more stuff scrapping everywhere

I'm digging this a lot dude. Boso pipes next?

[rice4life]

Ehh I'm not sure on the r33 bumper. I think the CRX lip matches the skirts better lmao. And I would **** to put on the r33 bumper, then have to get a lip for that for it to be as low as my current lip/bumper setup, ya feel?

As for wheels, there is a set of Work Nezart's up rn, so if they're still up next week there's a 50% change I'll get them. There's also a secret wheel that I would have relipped to custom specs which might be way cooler

Orrrrrrr I might spend my money on other shit haha. I actually really like this combo... and honestly it looks quite a bit different in person, like cars always do.

Nezart's are $$$$$

If there's a junkyard around you, look for a 90's accord rear lip. Those can be made to fit anything and look pretty good. If you don't want to use it, you can clean it up and sell it on ebay for 4 to 5 times what they cost at the yard.

You might have to narrow it though, just cut for the exhaust and it looks great
