Hey Everyone i have a 1994 Toyota Camry CSI. Im going to hot it all up and pretty much wanna make it brand new as im a pretty big perfectionist. The body work is in immaculate condition and the engine is fine apart from the pretty bad oil leak that drips on the exhaust and stinks but i guess ill have to get that fixed! <_< It needs the following things fixed! What do ya'll think!

1. Faded paint on the roof, bonnet and boot

2. Oil leak

3. 204000 kms service

4. Rear window fixed

5. Front of Dash is lifting a bit AS ALL these camrys seem to do! Grrr

6. New mags, Seat covers, Head Unit and Front Speakers

7. Bushes in Auto Trans Gear Shift as it wobbles side to side

8. and whatever else needs doing! I bought it for 4 grand last year so i dont want it to go to waste and i love these model Camrys!

If ANYONE knows of cheaps fixes for ANY of these things let me know please! Like the Dash! haha! i Tried pushing it down but it just comes back up again but it annoys me alot! Please help! Would appreciate it guys! Thanks heaps hey!

Welcome to the TOCAU guys. But better yet welcome to the Camry club biggrin.gif

You two should take some pictures of your cars so that you can boast about them, doesn't matter what condition they are in. Best thing I ever did was buying a camry for my first car...NEVER gone wrong (with 246000km on it).

The modding options are endless for you guys - turbo, supercharging, bodykits, stereos; you name it the sky is your limit (unless your bank account is your limit like mine)

Look forward to seeing your progress! Oh by the way, check the members rides for inspiration.

Welcome. Definitely put up some pics, i would suggest buy a dashmat, it will save your dash from cracking warping etc. Where is the oil leaking from? For the 200,000km service you will need to do the timing belt if it hasnt already been done. Last of all the paint could be just in need of a good polish to bring it back up to scratch, but won't know til we see some pics.

solution - buy new parts and install... if unable to install pay someone else to install them for you... preferably a professional qualified to do so...

you say the body work is perfect but has no paint (practically)... just makes it easier to sand back and paint...

good luck :)

      Toyota estima raised suspension

      I love to know if he find the solution to raise his estima too. I can only manage to raise the rear of my 2008 estima with airbag installed, the front still low though.

      Toyota Landcruiser problems

      Ah yes . Oh what a reaming..... Toyota.!! I had an aftermarket electric tailgate opener fitted $1500. Closes the door from inside and out. Mines a vx. Reverse sensors only turn off with toggle with "car and witches hat" on 300. They stay off till switched back on. I put my keys in the door pocket.the jingling almost drowns out the squeaking of the middle seats I sent a hand written registered letter personally addressed to the CEO of Toyota Australia and he did not have the decency to reply. Emails go ignored Toyota Lack of Customer Experience centre inept and uneducated regarding the legislation they are required to operate under. At least the 300 here didn't have the 3.5 TT petrol. Are you listening Toyota.??? NEVER AGAIN

      200 series after market 35 inch tyres

      Ive seen a 200 with them fitted on the weekend and they were on 17s (GXL). The owner was very sheepish to say the least to pass on the info what had to be done other than some panel work on the from inner guards. 0 offset (bead lockers) and 3 inch lift and he still had rubbing. He was going to do some more panel work to allow the rubbing to not tear up inner guard (alloy plate) but it made my 200 with 20's and 2 inch lift look like a baby sitting next to it...

      300 series turbo issues

      Hope I haven't posted twice but the issue is that this happens at all and the drop in torque and AFR off the chart when it does (7th injector problem??). By the time you notice it you're in a torque hole and your DPF is starting to cough coping with the lousy mixture. Nothing to do but push more fuel in and accelerate aou of it. It happens regardless of whether you notice it or not and regardless of whether you're towing. can't be doing the DPF any good. They're $7 grand to replace. They're still selling them and not telling anybody that this "design characteristic" is what to expect from your perfectly designed engine. Hopefully dyno report is attached. Ask what your service manager thinks and watch them squirm

      Stout Owners

      Putting 15" or 16" on will only make it slower, won't have the power to pull higher gearing, trust me I know, my cousin has one. He ended up putting a 4y/ 5speed in it

      300 series turbo issues

      I have since found when it happened again on steep incline, lift foot on accelarater pedal, drops a gear and then back on the gas an no issue as is out of the rev range approx 2200 where it happens. (This is all done in a second so not a drama at all now for me when it happens)
