Felt Tape

Hey - I had a number of sqeaks on my '93 850. What I ended up doing was going to my local Toyota dealership (don't ask me why Toyota...they just seemed to want to help) and bought a bunch of felt tape. It come in a sheet already pre-cut into 3/16" wide strips. Then, I pulled apart a bunch of th...

I replaced the lights in my radio. I have the sc810 in a 93 850. I removed the radio (after making sure I had the code), removed the front face plate and the circuit board in behind. The lights on mine were soldered to this curcuit board. I un-soldered the existing lights and re-soldered new ones pu...

Had the same problem with my 850. Turned out to be a broken EGR hose. From my experience, the exhaust seemed to be forced into the cabin when the car was in motion, so maybe this explains why there was little odour while idling.

'93 850 GLT - Tire Size

I will soon need to replace the worn Toyo T1-S currently on my car, and was wondering what tire size I might change to. The Toyo's right now are 205-55-16, and this seems like a nice looking profile and width for the car. Just wondering if I can go to anything wider. Actually, what is the widest I c...

Maybe front CV axles? Would certainly explain the change in vibration between turning and straight line driving.....could also explain a vibration or shudder under initial load.....
Just a thought.

'93 850 Light Switch

Just a quick question: The other day while driving to work (it was dark outside), I noticed a little green light from my light switch. It's actually at the top of the switch, and looks like two little lights facing each other. It stayed on the whole way to work, and was there afterwork until I turne...

'93 850 Glass Headlights

I recently had a rock hit my driver's side headlight. It broke the glass cover, but everything else is fine. I have called around local boneyards, but of course, none available. I am able to find a lot of replacement lenses for the '94 and up dual bulb style, but not for the '93 single bulb. My ques...
