1993 Toyota Paseo Standard review from North America
"Cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator was replaced costed $300.
Tape player broke.
General comments?
Well the first thing that I Did to the car is upgraded the exaust and put a k&N filter. Then I Got installed a GARRETT/Turbonetics T04E-60 Turbocharger. This boasted the car from 100hp to 190 hp. The next thing I had to do is try to keep the transmission cooler and a Aquamist Water Injection System. The top speed before the mods was around 108-109mph after everything installed I bury the speedometer so maybe 140+
I wouldn't suggest doing what I did cause it can't get out of hand and you are really going to be spending nearly $6000 for a car the size of a pinto. But let me say one thing no supra or porsche has kept up with me at the light and I am sure that they don't get as good as gas mileage as I do.
