Specs for far:
Here are some pictures of my current daily driver.
1988 3S-FE 5 Speed, 160,000 miles.
Strut tower bar from Lexus ES 250
16x7 rims
205/50-16 tires
Intrax springs
KYB struts
Whiteline front and rear sway bar
custom air intake scoop into factory box (really didn't notice a difference)
one piece bumper off 1990 wagon
black spray paint job, blacked out all chrome and badges
Tinted windows/A line
Silver star head lights
tercel wiper arms
Dynomax super turbo muffler (rest of exhaust is stock) with custom made exhaust tip (painted black with high temp spray paint)
custom rivet body work
vaccum-miles per gallon gauge
trailer hitch
front license plate under front bumper
This is a real worker. I've hauled a lot of stuff on my 5x8' utility trailer, and in the back of the car.
The best gas mileage I got was 458 miles on a tank (11.9 gallons) of gas = 38.48 miles per gallon. (not hauling a trailer, keeping as little weight as possible in the car...keep junk out of it.)
I've owned it 4 years. I put a timing belt on it...after it broke, stupid me. This is the only time the car has been towed. The right front caliper was leaking and over heated and ruined the wheel bearing. Needed new wheel bearing, put new front brake hoses on, new caliper, new pads and rotors. New drums and shoes in rear. New left and right half shafts. New "suspension" (read above). New plugs, wires, cap and rotor. New battery. New fuel filter. And the worst and longest job I ever did. One of the rear brake lines was leaking just under the back of the drivers door. So I decided to replace the two rear brake lines, Fuel supply, return and vent lines. I got the new 3/16" rear brake lines to the back of the car with out a splice, but had to cheat and go around the outer edge of the gas tank. I wasn't about to take the tank out if I didn't have to.
I wish I had a way to get a sample of how the exhaust sounds. It is just right. Not to loud for the open hatch design of the wagon. And if I drive it just right it will gurgal between shifts.
