hi to all altezza sifu out there,i need answer asap...previously i was choosing celica n altezza and then finnally i wish to settle wit altezza,2day i went and test drive an altezza which is auto,then i feel the car is kind of...no power....the rest of it i really like the car..

then i come back tell my fren...when i told him no power he ask me izit sure its rs200? bcoz mraket alot 4speed auto 160hp...i say duno bcoz i feel like no power....
when i pop up the hood it is clear n loud black top BEAMS....so is it 200hp?

http://www.mudah.my/Toyota+ALTEZZA+2+0+TOTALLY+HIGH+SPEC-7612607.htm

i need answer to clear my dilemma else i would juz rather settle wit other car....bcoz i think my moms camry has better power if the unit i tested is 200hp...lol

 

[mokh]

if the car that u tested is as in the link, then it is beams 200hp, 5speed AT.

need to push to 5k rpm n above to feel the power. am i right?

 

[bushidofang]

To clear some of your doubts.. It is 210HP ON ENGINE.. don't forget you lose some more when you calculate it on wheel. On wheel you'll only get about the range of 140~160bhp. It might be your expectation as well when you hear about the 210HP.

Also, this is quite a revvy engine, you'll need to rev it to feel the the power of the BEAMS engine, other than that below the rpm of 3k it's more for a comfortable drive.

Don't forget about the wear and tear of the engine parts too.. it's a fairly old car, so service and maintanence might be needed to get the car running back up in tip top condition. You will feel some difference after some minor changes, etc. air filter, exhaust. The BEAMS engine always has 5 gears all along.. Did you try the tip tronic?

My 2 cents. A Celica is a 4-speed auto. You might wanna rethink. Except you're going for the older generations.. which i think it's better than the current one.

anybody here ever did a torque converter upgrade on their AT tezza? torque converter upgrade seems like another good option for AT user. but didnt found any review on this on the net.

 

[wfhan]

mokh,
$$ wise, how much? can justify the gain or not ?

 

[mokh]

not sure. i just found it on the net about this.
check this out (1 of them) Toyota Transmissions | Toyota Torque Converter | Toyota Valve Body

they can modify the torque converter, valve body, rebuild gear box..and so on.

[aycy]

4.1k for tein ss? Omg... last time i get only 2.8k for new set. Price increase due to yen exchange rate. But dun worry, i guess now after tsunami yen will go down. Maybe u can get tein at cheaper price after a week. Lol...
