Rear/Front Of A 5th Gen Toyota Tercel Coupe

Owning an old-school Toyota Tercel opens the door to a range of advantages for car enthusiasts and tuners alike. The 5th generation Tercel, also known as the L50 series, represents a line of compact economy cars that balanced reliability, simplicity, and potential for customization. Built by the renowned Japanese automaker Toyota, these models were designed with versatility in mind. Available in a variety of body styles, including sedans, 2-door coupés, 3-door hatchbacks, 5-door liftbacks, and 5-door station wagons, the L50 series offered something for every type of driver.

One of the key highlights of the Tercel is its lightweight build, with a maximum weight of under 2,100 pounds. This makes it an ideal platform for performance upgrades, old-school engine swaps, and other modifications. In different markets, the Tercel was also known under names such as the Toyota Corolla II, Toyota Corsa, and Toyota Soluna, further proving its widespread appeal and adaptability. With its compact size, mechanical simplicity, and multiple body options, the 5th gen Tercel continues to be a favorite among enthusiasts seeking a classic Toyota with true modding potential.

An 8th Gen Toyota Corolla With A 2002 Bumper Kit

Car enthusiasts often gravitate toward the 4th or 5th generation Toyota Tercel Coupe due to their compact, sporty appeal and potential for customization. These models have developed a cult following for their lightweight build and classic design. However, when compared to the 8th generation Toyota Corolla, there are significant differences, particularly in styling and structural components. While both are from Toyota’s economy lineup, they serve different tastes and tuning communities.

One major difference lies in the bumpers and electronic systems between the two models. The 8th gen Corolla features more modern electronics and design elements that don't naturally align with the older Tercel. This means that installing an 8th gen Corolla bumper onto a Tercel isn't a straightforward bolt-on process. In most cases, enthusiasts who attempt this swap must customize their bumpers to fit around the Tercel’s original front ends, including the hood and headlights.

Some builders take the customization a step further by performing a full 8th gen Corolla front-end conversion on their Tercel. This involves replacing not just the bumper, but also the headlights, fenders, and hood. The goal is to give the Tercel a completely different look, often aiming for a more aggressive or updated aesthetic. However, because the two models were never meant to be interchangeable, this level of modification requires careful planning and skilled fabrication.

Additionally, a complete conversion typically includes custom side skirts to match the new front end. The entire process demands extensive customization, not just in terms of bodywork but also to ensure all components fit and function correctly. While challenging, such a project is a testament to the dedication of car enthusiasts who are willing to go the extra mile for a unique and personalized build. For many, the effort pays off with a standout vehicle that reflects their vision and creativity.

A TRD Supercharger Strapped 2GR-FE(Drift)

A 2GR-FE TRD Supercharger Kit was offer for the 2006–2012 Toyota Aurion. Power output can be bumped to 323+ hp with up to 295 lb•ft of torque. MonkeyWrenchRacing, Engineering and D3 Performance  sells these superchargers for the Lotus Evora/Exige/Avalon,Lexus ES 350, and Camry. With customed parts, these supercharger kits will work with other cars with the 2GR-FE. 

Unfortunately, a v6 swap will never be a direct fit. These v6 swaps are more of a challenge. All the proper equipment from the donated car including a suitable or modified transmission is needed for a successful swap. These swaps requires a lot of customization including customed motor mounts, suspension, electronics/ECU, custumed high proformance axles, shifter, fuel system, cooling system, A/C/power steering, intake/exhaust, suspension/brakes, and tires.

These motors can be found from a 3rd/4th/5th/6th/7th and 8th Gen Toyota Camry. The swap has been done to many Toyota Corollas, Celicas, Tercels, Scions, and Yaris. Some Corolla models may need a custom hood.

Aftermarket for these v6 engines is quite large. With a forged piston kit/FI mods, these motors can handle up to 270PS (400PS with the 2GR Series). Turbo or supercharged applications may require upgraded injectors, upgraded ECU, a blot on or customed built manfold, fuel pump, and boost controller. Every motor and transmission has a weakness. It is very important to address your motor and transmission for weaknesses before modifying them. 

Many custom parts can be found via importperformanceparts, M- Force, HKS Superchargers, D3performance, driveshaftshop, gatorracingaxles, Frankensteinmotorworks, Monkeywrenchracing, turbokits, car-part, or maxpeedrods. Prices can be compared and bought. Rotrex and Eaton has a custom series of superchargers for these v6 engines.
