1997 Toyota Tercel for IT .

[trobbins]

Someone please clue me in on the Toyota Tercel of the mentioned vintage .
I have read they came with a twin cam 1.5 Liter I4 and had somewhere in the neighborhood of 93HP .
Also the weight of one is around 2035 lbs .
Is there an aftermarket for these cars ?
So were these were a close cousin the Paseo ?
Has anyone ever seen these things on track before ?
I looked up them up in the GCR roadracing and they weren't there .
To me that says no one has petitioned SCCA to build one as a racecar yet ?

I have inquired on another forum and one person suggested the STD model .
Does this car have the same drive train as the other models , only lighter ?

If I did write SCCA to have this car allowed into IT what class would it go into ?
ITC or ITB ? I'm really not sure how that part works .
Seems to me this would be a killer ITC car .

Write to the Board asking for it to be listed. You'll get a faster response if you provide all of the basic information listed in the ITCS - preferably in some official form that can be shared electronically (like PDFs of factory docs) and stock power information. And include documentation of the model/years that fit together - those with the same driveline, mostly - so we can get the listing right.

Thanks .

Thinking back, there was a guy who rallycrossed one in VA a few years ago. It was pretty quick in stock form.

It could very well be a "killer" in ITC. If it's a twin cam, that's an issue but perghaps a few hundred pounds would solve the problem.

Good to add more cars to C.

It could also run in B with a backwards weight adjustment.

It's difficult to imagine that it can get light enough to make it's target ITB weight, starting with 93hp.
