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

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      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.
