Hi guys, I've got a 2002 Camry Sportivo V6 Manual, I was just wondering what sort of times people have managed to get down the 1/4 mile in them?

Ok i am looking at upgrading from my corolla as its getting a little high in the K's and its getting to the age where things are more likely to start breaking. Its a 97 AE102 Corolla Seca, and i've done a touch under 270,000ks... I am considering upgrading to a MCV36R Camry Sportivo, thats the last shape camry with the V6.. (previous to the current shape). I am looking at getting a manual one... Now a couple of things about these: - Does anyone know what the manual V6's do stock down the 400m? - Any known issues or things about them? Or the other car i am considering is a J31 Maxima Ti, thats the 3.5L Auto.. Now a couple of things about them: - Does anyone know what these do stock down the 400m? - Any known issues or things about them? - How hard is it to put an aftermarket headunit in these? Which would go better out of a 145kw Manual V6 3.0L Camry and an Automatic 170kw V6 3.5L Maxima? I am tossing up between the two... argh... The camrys are cheaper, but the maxima's are more luxury... Does anyone know which is better for a Sound Quality setup? The camry would be a lot easier to install an aftermarket headunit into it as far as i can tell (it actually has a double-din headunit whereas the maxima is intergrated... (but i have seen a couple of maxima's with aftermarket headunits, clarion maxima, and one by one of the audio installers)

A SQ System is a Sound Quality system (a sound system designed for accurate reproduction of music :P) Hmm i thought they would be a bit quicker than that... must be a fair bit heavier than the magna (with less power to add to insult :P) Hmm nah don't want an auto... i am a spirited driver... i enjoy driving... so i want a manual :P I am considering putting a supercharger on it if i can get a good enough discount from my mate who owns Raptor Superchargers... :D Yeah i have seen the boot is quite large... :D

Now a couple of things: - Does anyone know what the manual V6's do stock down the 400m? - Any known issues or things about them? - Its going to be setup with a decent (albiet budget) SQ system this time... how are they how a SQ car? I know there is plenty of room in the boot :D Any thoughts or recommendations? Also any websites to look at for them? there is very little selection on carsales.com.au or autotrader.com.au I know the manual V6s are rare but there should be still a few around... Also i am considering getting one with a sunroof if i can find one... any known issues with the toyota sunroof? I am looking to find one with around a 100,000ks or less for around $15000-18000 or so... Do you think that is easily achievable?

I want to see photos...

Whats this aqua mist sprays for? I've never heard anything about them?

I have a 97 AE102 Corolla Seca Conquest, with a 7AFE. I'm considering supercharging it using either the 4AGZE S/C (SC12) or the larger SC14. I think both use an electric clutch so I'd use a Hobbs Vacumm switch to turn the S/C on/off. I'll probably also get the Greddy E-Manage (piggy back ECU) for engine management, to handle the boost and such. As far as I'm aware, the motor will handle 7psi stock, as that is what the turbo sportivo had. What do I need to strengthen inside my motor to handle more than 7psi boost? Crank, rods, and pistons? I was thinking of using 4AGZE pistons, what crank, and rods should I use? Where to get them from? What injectors should I use? Anything else I should consider/know?
