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.

pay no attention to this man ^^^^^

listen to this one \/\/\/\/\/\/

4efte??

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.

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).

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
