Hey There,

Im thinking of selling my Present car and buying a Paseo and modifying it along the same lines.

I was just hoping if some experienced people could same thoughts on the modifying process of this car. ie: Whether the costs associated are as high as Calibra?

What is the max wheel size without rolling guards?

Is the engine good for tuning?

Is it difficult to source bodykits in Sydney?

Any really just the general pros and cons of this vehicle would be great,

Cheers,

Why the hell would you go backwards?

badboyz is right...and he always seems to be....even tho toyota cars can take a good beatin...the calibra has a more powerful engine (i think its a v6) thats alot more potential than a 1.8L...if u want to get a toyota i wld rec. one of the following...mr2, supra, celica, soarer or corrolla....good luck mate bt if it was between ur calibra and Paseo i wld stick with wat u got now!!

Paseo was a hairdressers' car in the 90's. Very very slow. No modifying potential.

Suggest posting your budget and we can brainstorm better ideas.

A stock looking Paseo with a 4E-FTE would be a nice little sleeper.

i have a paseo with a EP82 starlet GT engine transplant, leather interior, 17's etc. they are easy to modify externally and you can pick up a EP82 halfcut for about 1700 which includes wiring aswell, get it installed for not that much and you're laughing. engine mods are easy, and aftermarket parts are getting cheaper and cheaper. it'll put many cars away dont you worry about that. take a look at austarletclub.com for more info.

cheers

Then you'd still look like a hairdresser, you would just be propelled by a warmish starlet engine... :P

(Sorry, just don't like paseo's. In highschool some loser had one with an unpainted fibreglass body kit with cracks and holes everywhere and I just wanted to torch the hunk of sh!t)

ROFL

To their credit, there are a few phat ones that hang around the Starlet crowd, but this guy already has a calibra. The Calibra's aren't 'that' bad. Decent car imo.

they did make a calibra with 4wd 2.0l turbo...

but then again you have got a celica gt4/wrx/lancer gsr for the same amount...

buy an s13... HEAPS of bodykits and wheels. decent motor too. (CA or SR)

Agreed. The SR20DE and DET are bloody awesome motors for the age that they are. They're still competitive to this day.

Mildly modded SR20DE runs about 15.0 flat easily down the quarter if the driver knows what they're doing.

This is proven as well. I know SR20's can box, as I hang around a few :P (much to the distast of some guys here hahahaha).

yea the SSS pulsar is another popular choice, similar to the Corolla SX.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
