Sometimes you buy a car... and it's poked. If you've done all the routine maintenance stuff (plugs, leads etc) and you're still not getting what you want, go to a mechanic and get a compression test etc. The toyota dohcs in the g heads are made to be revved higher, with a (slight) decrease in lowend performance. If you had an old f head engine you would have noticed a little more lowend torque. Dunno

I definately recommend using the search function on the forum, heaps of stuff bin written about refreshing tired engines/basic performance mods etc.

hey i had a levin with the same motor mine did the same till i put in a pod filter and cleaned up the leads and made sure the sparkplugs were nice and clean its around that time that the car changes its valve timing and starts producing power check to make sure nothigns sticking in the throttle body area as well
