World's worst Tercel

Now you need an r33 style bumper hahahaha.

Looks good man, can't wait to see it with new wheeeeeels.

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.

Looks awesome, dude. Skirts look great. Get some wheels to match on the front, and maybe some clear corners.

You will have to forgive me on these first two photos. They were taken on my phone haha
The rest were taken by my friend who has an actual camera later after we fitted the skirts

Note: the car isn't even washed so don't be too mean, but I'm absolutely in love with it right now. Next check I'm gonna try to find some wheels that'll match the front and are 15s like the back.







This pic I was actually rolling at about 20 mph

Oh shit, you did it! This is going to be soooooo rad. You'll probably have to cut out the part of the skirt where the front door sits, and past the rear seam of the rear door. Shouldn't be too hard though, measure twice, cut once. This is going to match that front lip perfectly!

[nishy]

Yooooooooooooooo what up. I fking love these wheels and they sine up so nice



I was also lacking in the "scene points" department so I put this on. Pretty neato




And I got skirts finally s13 vertex rep skirts that actually are almost exactly the right length. Only about 1/2" too long! The problem is that the terc is a 4 door and thus has much less fender overhang.... these are gonna need a bunch of cutting up to make fit. I'm so excited for it though!

new wheels look much better man, find 2 more!

[nishy]

I'm liking this setup a lot

[nishy]

Oh shit, doesn't feel like almost two months since I posted last... oops...

Honestly not a lot changed. I had my tie rods changed out, I've tried to order skirts three different times and the order has failed in one way or another every time, and I got two more wheels.

Manaray Vertec VR5 Sport Cup. Some nice 15s with a 4" lip on them. Adds to my collection too



Anyway, I just got them in last Friday and got them mounted today on some 165/50r15s. Nice little stretch that fits perfect. I'm on the lookout for two more to complete this set because I actually really like these wheels. Next paycheck if I cant find another pair of wheels I think I'm going to buy one or two spare oil pans and try to go lower. Really really sucks how thats the lowest part of the car :/ Just one more inch is all I want, then I'll be happy. I'm already sitting with a fist sized dent in my current oil pan



Considering trying to retrofit some e30 headlights cause quad beam is neato

[Greasy63]

Have you thought about Honda 96-00 side skirts or from 99 accords? I've always thought they looked sporty. I'm sure a Home Depot bracket wouldn't be hard to shimmy up, if need be.
What about the Volvo front lip all the e30 guys run?

I agree fender mirrors would be a nice touch.

I say stay away from tint, keep it clean & clear. Let everyone see who's driving the lowest Tercel around

[I_Haz.:R32]

camber shims/ plates are what I'm talking about. Might wanna look into that, though it does suck how much work it is to get camber on a rear axle beam.

[nishy]

I don't know if there are a lot of hills where you live, but a buddy of mine has one of these tercels and it's hilarious how much speed you lose going uphill, even at full throttle... Anyhow, as far as the rear camber, don't mk4 golfs have a rear axle beam? They use camber plates to get rear camber ( I think), so couldn't you do something like that in the rear?

Oh man... it's so slow especially with the giant spacers I have on, I feel so sketchy going anything above like 65

As far as I know, there are only three ways to get rear camber on this car... bend the axle, cut and weld the axle, or get small camber shims that fit behind the hub. What camber plates are you talking about?

Also, in for the slamvan idea, I've seen a couple and they are awesome, just watch out for the transmissions on those Odyssey's, they are known for failure.

[nishy]

I got no updates really, but I got a new phone, some badass higher end headphones, and am gonna order skirts for this thing next week.

I removed the badge in the grill and took off the oil cooler cause I felt like a ricer. Also got a new passenger headlight assembly cause the old one was starting to fog



I also cant really safely go lower :/ I have just about an inch of clearance from my oil pan, and this is my only car... that, and the threaded ends on the coilovers are kinda seized from dirt and crap getting in the threads so I couldn't take it apart if I wanted to.

Don't know if I want to keep this or not. Thinking about getting a first gen Odyssey and having a slam van

[nishy]

Would love to see some 17" Eurolines on this if you finish off your kit.

You can get a set for under a grand, just not super low offset.

I don't know about 17s, that might be too big. 16s probably, 17s maybe

It's cool. I think its low enough. I'd like to see the "Diana" kit on it, but I want the bumpers to match. Either both unfinished or both body matched. Not sure why, but that is really bothering me... lol

You aren't having any Ball Joint or Control Arm issues with that much spacer?

Never heard of that kit... but the unpainted rear bumper is factory on most of these cars. Paint matching was an extra option. When I get the car repainted I'll get it done

And no, I haven't had any problem with the spacers at all. They're all hubcentric so I know that helps, but it rides like it did with no spacers and everything is golden
