As soon as I get settled with the insurance company I will begin looking.

Encouraging pictures as promised....
I guess the red ones are the coolest
Ok, I haven't read this post but I had to say this.
I'm surfing the web on my TV, it's a rear projection sony and it has slight convergence issues, effecting text mostly. I saw this thread and thought it said " Learn me on testicles".
I wasn't sure what you needed to know, but I would help in any way I could.
Oh, and Celica GTS multi-adjustable seats are reputed to fit if you bend one bracket, or something. I scored a set a while ago and will report back when I install them.

The 90-93 GTS seats, right?
If so, pretty likely that they would fit easily. Nice seats, but they're heavy bastards. I've got a set in my car.
In reply to cghstang:
AWESOME!
Yes, those are the ones. And, yes, they weren't a huge amount of fun to wrangle for transport & storage purposes. If anybody's interested, they DO fit into the back seat of a 4-door Tercel.
Whiteline Automotive does have swaybars, lower control arms and front strut tower bar for Paseo. I guess these will fit.
Where can you find Whiteline Automotive parts in the US?

Dare I say that looks fantastic??? Someone was a wheel fitment whiz.
My son bought a 98 5 spd car a few months ago.
I would characterize the stock handling as borderline dangerous. If you get into trouble, go too fast into a turn, make a bad decision, or have to make an emergency maneuver, good luck to you.
Driving it home from the inspection, I got a little aggressive, and almost put it into a field. My son has already put it into one ditch, and has learned his lesson.
Although it is definitely light, looks good, gets great gas mileage, and should be very reliable, I very much do not like this car. I would feel a lot better as a parent if he were in a later model Swift.
The stock suspension on the 96' I've driven could be dangerous because it lacks sway bars, front and rear. But I do believe paseo parts bolt right on.
And GSR Blades do fit.
And I hear there is a time attack driven tercel on the west coast; http://www.urbanracer.com/articles/anmviewer.asp?a=3740&z=1
good little car. I honestly had made peace with my maker in one whilst being driven at tire-squealing speeds by a "straight off the boat" Irish E36 M3-kicker through Rock Creek Park in D.C. Those trees down there ain't too big, but then a Tercel wouldn't stand up to a sapling when hurdy comes to gurdy. Very peaceful, accepting death like that.

i did a 4age swap with a 5spd transaxle swap 5-6 years ago

Wikipedia said: For 1995, Toyota introduced an all-new Tercel. The new design offered a stiffer body with better handling and was one of only a handful of cars in the U.S. to have OBDII in 1995.
This is a bad forum. I read these threads titles "Learn me about [older, cheap, etc car], and then I go cruising through CL.....

What's involved in that swap?
Seek and ye shall find. It's a 9-page thread, apparently, so have a coffee handy.
Enjoy!
What do you mean by GSR blades?

Any ITR wheel would be 5-lug, so not much point in that--unless you're up for a really odd conversion...
They mean the blade-spoked wheels from an Acura Integra GSR.
The modded Tercels and Paseos I've come across were some of the most badass little cars I've ever seen.
