Love it!

Its a 5sp manual too!

I plan to do a few things here and there, I hope you like it!

yay another gen 6 camry

welcome to TOCAU. what other mods are you planning on doing?

Lowering the car some more, looking to get bigger wheels (19's or larger) as the 18's on the car were on it when I bought it. I am not a huge fan of heavy chrome wheels, although they do look ok.

I am thinking of blackening the headlight bezels for a more aggressive front end appearance. Looking to also either fit up some LED globes for the rear or go to the LED units that Toyota offered on the latest models.

Plus a few other little things here and there. ;)

Sounds good, 19s will go perfect.

Keep us informed about blackening the headlight bezels, been meaning to tackle that myself but ive never done it before.

No worries, its easy to do. I have done it before on another car and it comes up well.

NimrodAUS: Yeah mate they are a bloody expensive tyre! Luckily for me they cam on the car! Both my cars run Bridgestones, the WRX has RE050's and this car has the RE001's.

Great tyres!

1stkill: I may be interested, depends if I can sell the ones I have 1st.

I got a good price on some lowered Kings springs for the car, so I will be putting them in before much else.

The tyre width on the car now is 245's, so I will have to see if the lips need rolling or not.

Yeah Bridgestone are a good tyre. The RE001's & RE050's are a sweet tyre. Obviously the Adrenalin are the heaps sick as ones though. When My New Tyres on my Kluger Wear out im going to and have already stocked up on (but probably will sell them and get fresh ones before hand but just wanted spares) of the Dueler A/T D694's.

Painted the calipers today... came up good. I will post up some pics of the results soon.

And I will be ordering some Lovells lowered springs for it in the coming week or so. Its sitting a tad too high for me right now! :P

Nice mate. I did the whole caliper painting thing on my old VS and red is the color I used. Comes up trumps.

An update!

The 18's are gone. I bought a new set of 20's with 225/35/20 tyres all round.

I also ordered some lowered coils today and also some clear/black LED tail lights from the USA. They should both be here in a few weeks.

So here is the car as it stands... albeit too high! :D

hahaha...yeah yeah I know, I actually wanted to put the springs in while car was up on stands with no wheels on it. But Kings being slack have no coils in stock...anywhere in Australia for the car. So I have to wait for them to make me some <_< That will take 2-3 weeks apparently.

I was looking at other options but they are far too expensive to order from the USA. And I was going to go Lovell's but have decided to go with who and what I know.

Tail lights are these:

Those look to be the smoked ones. Very good choice.

Very nice mate, lookin real good. I had to order from kings directly myself, took awhile to get the springs like you. How much lower did you drop it?

I noticed you got dual exhaust. first time ive noticed it on a 2007 i4 camry here in australia. can i ask if the other exhaust is just a fake or not?

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
