sell it and buy a celica.... or a blue corolla cos we all no blues 1s rule

suprisingly enough though the paseo hold value fairly well for a 96 with 70K on it can get almost $10,000.00 :blink:

Well you have to think about it, its a 94 model, so in other words it looks like ****, my advice is sell the ugly thing and get urself into something with a lil more balls

Don't listen to them mate.....Paseos are good cars :rolleyes:

The car itself shares a lot of components with the Starlet and Sera ( running gear ) hence them all being grouped together on the forum.

They'll never be the fastest cars on the road ( round about 100hp if i recall ) but they are mechanically easy to work on and there is plenty of modding capability.

Check out the garages on TOC uk for ideas, there's a couple of modded ones in there.

If you need any engine details, you can find the engine manual pdf >> Here <<.

one rule though, regarding the Seo.........Don't carry passengers taller than about 2 feet in the back ! :P

Not entirely true ... I have spent more that my fair share of time sitting in the back of a mate's Paseo and I'm 6 feet and around 120kg. Admittedly, head room is a little tight, and the front seat passenger has their knees around their head to accommodate me, but it can be done.

Now if someone can give me some advice on removing myself from the rear seat with some sort of dignity ... :lol:

Seriously, though, I'm a bit of a fan of the Paseo's styling and it sits you low enough to make you feel like you're driving something faster than it is. And as with all Toyota's, its economical and reliable ... the way my mate has driven his for the last 120,000kms, if it was a Hyundai, it would be scrap metal right now! :D

Sorry was supposed to read " sop11e - It's NOT my car :P"

Yes the 'car' is lacking in testicular endowment. It's only rated at 68kW or something rediculous like that. compare that to my ~180kW = big difference ;)

I'd be interested to see what an engine transplant would do for the Paseo ... even the standard 100kW VVT-i engine would be a huge improvement, but imagine the VVTL-i engine, even better with Craig's mods.

Hhmmm, I can see it now ... the Paseo and Craig's Stivo side-by-side in the garage, the heart of a beast transplanted into a meek coupe ... we shall call it ... 'Flake-enstein ! :lol:

I am a bit of a fan of the Paseo, but for a bit of a laugh I'm going to play devil's advocate for a moment on Craig's proposed turbo transplant ...

... A "hairdryer" for a "hairdresser's car" ! :lol:

Ok, so I'm not funny, but we've certainly injected some life into this part of the forums, that's for sure! :)

about time I came back to the Aus toyota forum. Paseos are a fun car to do stuff to and they're way more original when you get the finished product. Everyone has some kind of nissan or wrx these days.. which sucks

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
