if u want my honest honest oppinion.....leave the body the way it is....

spend the money on the engine instead. make it go rather than just show.

but its up to u

[sikwitit]

im going to do the engine later on after i get my full licence right now im just trying to get the car to look right and right now it looks good but i think its time for a change make my camry different to all other camrys

I think it looks alright as it is.

If you are looking at spending money on appearance; do something wiht the paint

[sikwitit]

i am going to paint the car just making shore the car looks right b4 i spend 7grand on the paint job i want then changing my mind later down the line.

The kit you're after looks good...

Oi Sean,

If you want a fkin awesome front lip, try and find the Rod Millen made one. There IS a website that you can check for them... ask Adam when you're next on Auscam or when he's next on here. Search TN as well for the lip too... was only a recent topic with a link to Rhys Millen's business that still made em.

Perfect example on what they look like :

The fastest Camry on this planet's got one - they're made properly in wind tunnels... *drools* I WANT ONE!

for my personal, i would leave the car as normal. It cost at least $1500 on body kit and paint job. Rather than do it, i would spend that amount of money either on audio system such as DVD player, subwoof and speaker, or full leather interior, or save a bit money on airbag suspesion system.

all the best

i wanted a rmm lip but i couldnt find one so i went for a kit i knew was easy to get but even tho the car looks great its not wat i originaly had planed for this car i was going for a jdm look but now its more show then jdm

thanks to a suggestion from whip cracker im going to leave changing the kit for now but if i can get a rmm lip i will get it but for now he has suggested something that will make my camry stand out make it either rear wheel drive or awd so im going to go talk to some different work shops and see what they can do and what they suggest i noe its going to cost heaps so dont say "u noe its going to cost heaps" or i will slap you lol jk

thanks whip now more of my hard earned cash is going towards my camry lol

Hey Sean im curious mate, did that website quote you on a price? I tried to get in contact with them but they never got back to me.

[Whip Cracker]

Hah,

I can just see a Camry archin up doin a u-turn at a set of lights with onlookers going :o

See how you go with it. If RWD or AWD are even possible, you'd need to be researching similar cars that used that drivetrain. I've got him to look into the SV21 Alltrac and the likes... might be a "bit from here and there" to make that kind of thing happen.

[mr ke70]

i would get new rims man they are ugly

[Andrew357]

hahaha

you don't beat around the bush do you?

yes they replyed to me did u send them ur full address if not they wil not respond to the email

[sikwitit]

well for now they car will stay as is until i find out about my plan for a rwd or awd camry

sean

[trentmeyer23]

to do the RWD or AWD, i doubt u will get much change if any out of $20K, the is massive work required tor RWD to the firewall. AWD u need the rest of the drive train for the rear

i noe its going to cost heaps but it will make my camry unique no other camry in aus will be rear wheel drive or awd

The kit and wheels look good but man you just got a set! You're spending too much on looks imo. As long as you think it is worth forking out the money than yeah, but your camry already is unique!

[Whip Cracker]

I guess the more research you do into the RWD or AWD change, the better. I dunno about 20k, but I'd imagine that it's the labour that'll cost the most.

You'd need to find someone that's skilled enough to make it happen, without them "umming and ahhhing" so to speak. I believe the fuel tank would have to be moved and all that kinda stuff... so yeah, it's not a walk in the park.

Put it this way - if it's possible, you'll have a 1 off car that no one has on the planet. If not, see if you can just BUY an SV21 Alltrac from Japan or the likes and do that up? You've seen Greg's Gen 2 (aka 89Camry), that thing is a work of art. I reckon if Greg had the Alltrac with the power that his car produces, that thing would kill nearly every car that's on the road today :)

hey everybody went and talked to some work shops today and i have made a disturbing discovery about my camry the guy at croydon racing development had a look at my car and he asked me did i noe the cars history i said it was owned by a elderly man thats all i knew but he said that my car was a reparable writeoff i asked how he knew that he had the car up on a jack at this point he showed me the rear of my car had been smashed in and some guy fixed it and made a complete mess of the job they said they can do the conversion but not on my car cause they could cut something and then the rear will colapes i was shocked :o he also pointed out parts that had be replaced now i noe y my boot doent line up properly man im so ****** off.

so i asked him about a 3sgte conversion he said they will do that no problem he said they can surply a motor but he said it would be better to suply my own doesnt cost as much they said they will do all the work including a manul conversion all the motor work and dyno they couldnt give me a quote cause to many variables but he said 10grand would be the minimum but they wont touch the rear of the car because if the rear colapses that is a bad image for such a reputable work shop so that killed my dreams.

might look into getting another gen3 that is not repared dont know anymore still quite ****** off

sean

[Whip Cracker]

Wow... stuff that!

Well, at least you know what condition the car's in! I prob shouldn't have mentioned the RWD conversion LOL! Would never have found out..

If you change the car, make sure you get a REVS check at least.

[trentmeyer23]

Nice...repairable write-off, good to see u did a REVS check when u bought it ;) Don't like the kit and wheels, ruins the look of it.

[sikwitit]

ah i bought it from a toyota dealership my dads friend suggested the car to him so he bought it off his recomendation dad not very happy im not either.

i noe you dont like kits on camrys trent lol but everyone has there own appionion.

i dont know what im going to do now im stuffed might buy another camry and try agian or keep my current camry and put a 3sgte and keep it front wheel drive.

i will let everyone know wat im going to do morrow not thinking straght at the moment right now i want to go up and stab the guy who sold me it in the face.
