Thanks guys at lease I no longer feel robbed.

Well here there seems to be no other rear end gear sets,  do you have any taller gears and perhaps a possi type to boot, for is I jump in a taller gear set, a possi to get both tires a grabbing would be so nice.

What engine options do you have in the States. 4 pot, V6.  2.0. 2.5 or 3.0.  which one is yours?  Auto or manual? Petrol or diesel?

3.0 200 HP Gas, 4 speed auto.

0-60 mph with approx 1600 kg od motor car?

Heavy car to get moving, but once moving the overtaking speeds and crusing speeds shock a lot of people as they do it so effortlesly.

Sport mode and turning the TC off can have some interesting results in the tyre shredding department, allthough it does depend on tyres, road serface and weather conditions.

Seems to help some but still no neck snapper...]

Hope this helps, as we find out more about tour car the more we can compare notes and help identfify problems.

Runs up to 6500 right smartly after it kicks in the open plemmium at 4000.

I just was shocked to drive the little Toyola and have it snap my neck at every take off.

Do you have an engine management light on?  

Does the engine management light up if you put the ignition to position 2?  If it doesn't the engine management light has been removed.  The car sounds like it is in LOS (Limited Operation Strategy) mode.  

I do not know what you asking...
it does have a sport setting..

Oh are you asking about the check engine light?? All is good no faults.

How can I check for LOS?

Is it just mine or are these cars pigs out of the hole??

I love my little 98 Cat but in the take off it is more of a slip out than a jack rabbit, hell my wife's Toyota with a 1.6 jumps out faster and beats me by ½ a car before I can start to catch her.

Peeling rubber seems impossible.

I though my cams might be a touch advance but my mechanic said no way, off by even one tooth and the computer makes a fuss.

If this is common how/can I do any thing to fix it?

Also do these cars run the same ECM over seas?? And can I swap one and get more performance and gas mileage over these sticking US Tunes?
