A few 1st Gen questions

[RockyLaxer]

Owning a T4R is kind of like belonging to a secret society. You can easily spark up a conversation with pretty much anyone you see with a T4R and feel comfortable. I've met a few people with the same model as mine, and we had no problem discussing all the different things you can do it and how versatile the vehicle actually is... but we all know this. I found this forum looking for the exact name of the original color, which was silver metallic, of my '86 T4R and now I want to put a few other questions up for grabs.

For those of you who have the altimeter/leveler on the center dash... have you found any way to keep it accurate? I've heard that it is affected by barometric pressure, which would be hard to control, but maybe there is a trick?

Does everyone have a problem with the rear wiper? Mine doesn't even hit the glass. It could clear snow but not mud or rain etc.

Also, any rust ideas would help too.


Thanks.

I never bother looking at the clinometer, so I'm not worried about accuracy. As for the rear wiper, A little lube and maybe adjust the spring tension, and it should be fine (unless it's bent or broken).
