Lowered...

Well, Billy got the Paseo lowered today. We'll roll the fender lips just to be safe and to keep those big Sumitomo tires from rubbin. Check out the before and after pics...

Underside

Front brake ducts completed. Better to be over prepared. BMW M3 scoops running through a 3" duct should do the trick. Added some scoops for the rear DRUMS while I was in there.

Exhaust tip.... better pic

Here is a better pic of the exhaust tip. HAHAHA awesome. It actually sound decent.

She's LOUD!

Well, over the phone our Paseo sounds like an unrestricted rotary motor... Not good seeing as there is a 95db limit for the race... Looks like we will be running this super dope BIG twin-tip system...

-----------------------

UPDATE--- new system is on and sounds GREAT!!!

Exhaust & Tires

Cut the muffler and cat out of the exhaust, installed the front brakes, and mounted our new tires. Tires have to be street tires with 190 treadwear or higher.

More buildup

Nothing but trouble with the Paseo today. Wheels studs I ordered are too small for the holes. Only logical thing to do was to weld them in! DONE!

Does the trouble end there? Oh no! The braided brake lines I ordered look amazing. Wait what..... Awesome they leak.. great BREAK lines! Soooo we will be running the stockies. Oh well.

Roll Cage

Paseo Strips

The Beginning

We need a car that would be good in many categories: Decent power, good handling, lightweight (to save brakes, and tires), good fuel economy. Oh yeah.... And for only $500.

After hours of discussion we knew what we had to search for.

At last we found our gem.... a 1992 Toyota Paseo. 1.5L 4 cylinder weighing in at 2085lbs for $300. She isnt perfect to the average eye, but to a trained eye she is a diamond.
