I fianlly bought my 94 STX today finally from my friend. Its great fun to drive, but it really is so slow! Haha.. A 5-speed would have been prefferable, but oh well. It has about 150,000 miles, and it needs a tune up badly. I bought some of that STP full fuel system treatment gas additive, and also a similar engine treatment for the oil. They claim to clean out the engine and restore some compression and horsepower yadda yadda... It was cheap so I bought it.
Anyway, Im getting a full tune up soon, so I hope that restores some power also. Its funny... I had a 96 sentra gxe before this car and the sentra had slightly more horsepower and slightly less torque, and I can actually feel the difference. Since both are automatics, when I mash the pedal in mid rpm, the sentra would pull harder. Yet when just cruising at low rpm and pressing the pedal harder (but not hard enough to make it downshift), the celica pulls harder due to the higher torque it has. Just kinda interesting to notice the differences. Anyway, just kinda excited about the new toy, and thought I'd share.
