What about a 1986-1987 Toyota Tercel? We found a 3 door stick. What do you guys think? thanks Lobster

Should be a good Lemons car. Reliable, and still easy to find junkyard parts for it.

We ran one at the very first Altamont event... Had a blast.

A couple tips:

The front swaybar from a wagon tercel is bigger.
Cutting one coil is about perfect for handling.
Slotting the struts gets you great camber.
An air filter from a big V8 will fit, as long as you cut a hole in the hood.
Hawk makes HP+ pads for it.

...and if you get your front suspension folded over by a Caprice, A spring/strut from a Mk. 2 Golf can be made to fit with minimal grinding.
