Overview Of The Whole Car

This is my 1992 Toyota Paseo, A big thanks goes out to two differnt people, one is Caleb Mott at Type R Motorsports here in fargo. He has nearly built this car from the ground up and always putting up with all my bullshit. The second guy would be eric at e.l. prototypes. He has taken care of a few things like the motor tuning and the tranny work. It is 4 years in the making. Most everything on the car has been done custom, because there is not very much aftermarket support for this car. Hopefully there will be tons more to come.

Please take a close look at this car there has been a lot of time and effort from many people to build this car. Thanks your guy's time and all your comments. More comments are very welcome.

Imported Items

Most of this car is actually imported, but I am just going to go over some of the more important ones and explain into some detail.

9 piece x-racing body kit: This kit was acutally ordered from australia I had to wait for 2 months to get it.

Toyota Cynos headlight Conversion: These headlights actually came from Japan, I only had to wait about 6 days for these. These have a better beam and they are all one piece instead of two and they are also all clear.

RacingHart Rims: These are also from Japan, they are definatly one of my favorite mods, because they look good and they are light.

Momo Stearing wheel: This is from Italy, but I got it from a distributor in the US.

Blitz Turbo timer: This is an item from Japan purchaced in the U.S.

Blitz Blow off Valve: This is an item from Japn but purchaced in the U.S.

TRD Short shifter: This item was ordered from TRD of Japan and I waited 3 months for this item to show up, well worth it though.

TRD 3 pucked clutch and TRD pressure Plate: These were both ordered from TRD of Japan.

Ichibahn Alum cigerete lighter: Bought from U.S. but is a Japan part.

TRD Helical LSD: I waited for 2 months for this rare part, This is the only one in the states for the Starlet that I know of, along with the clutch and plate.

Full TRD of Japan Engine mounting set

Full TRD of Japan suspension busshing.

1.3 L motor swap: I had a front clip of a Toyota Starlet shipped here from Japan. Fairly rare Item comes with a turbo charged 4efte motor.

Cutom Tranny built: The parts from this tranny came from Japan. Out of a J-spec corolla.

Starlet Strut bar: Came off of a Toyota Starlet GT never made in the U.S.

New computer: The new rom for the computer was also a program that came from Japan. Not too many of these are in the states.

Rear disc conversion: These were brought over on a rear clip of the toyota starlet GT. Great upgrade for the paseo.
