silentstu Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Heres my new car, my 96 paseo si. Car was colchester toytoa demo car then had 1 private owner for 15 years till i just got it. Full toyota history on it. Bit tatty on outside but mint inside and completly stock. Even has original sony HU (well just put my one in lol ). Even had a toyota service in april this year which included 4 new michelins all round!!couple pics:Car had a small feature in Classic cars for sale magazine as the editor was going to use it as a project car but they ran out of time to do it. i got it with no MOT but it sailed right thru.All in all great little car and keeping me on the road with lower costs than my previous mr2 turbo !!! my only problem is the car feels like its holding back in the mid rev range so may need to run some cat or injector cleaner thru it. Anythinf else i can check for on the car ? no engine managment light at all ?!?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Scott Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 allright mate, looks very smart indeed.check the usual, air filter, plugs, leads, throttal body opening fully when foot to floor? no vacume pipes loose/leaking? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Very tidy motor mate! Spotted this one on FlickR photographed by a chappy on there at a classic car show. How did you find us?Also, the 5efe doesn't really like to be revved. The 1.3 4efe from the Starlet can take a hammering whereas the Paseo's 5efe can't. All Paseo's ive driven (quite a few now) are all the same. It just gets flat after the first few thousand. Still, has get up and go!What are your plans with this one? Keeping it standard and mint?

silentstu Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 An update on the Paseo:FSH from toyota and was serviced in april this year and this was the airfilter i pulled out !!hmmmm thats not a couple months old ! also changed the plugs as there was hardly any tips left on the old onesNew Boot badge i got for £5.50 posted the black paint had gone in places so i carbon vinyled itand De-Egged the front indicatorsAlso done some rewiring on the rear lights so it now has the fog located in the drivers side reverse light soi can have 4 side and brake lights looks much better i think !!!thats all for now still trying to get to the bottom of it running a bit lumpy and not acclerating smooth feels likesomthing is restricting it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I re wired mine so I have a double filliment bulb on the fogs so I have lights and fogs. Looks JDM-WIN! Great work on the tidying mate, really looks great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
