  1. I have not personally done any (Except helped with an I4 to V6 swap in a Camry), but I;ve seen a lot. My friend right now is swapping in a 3SGTE into his AE86. I know another guy that swapped a 3SGTE into a Mk1 MR2, 3VZ V6 into an early 90's Celica, and just a lot of nice swaps into older Corolla's. I go to many Old School car shows.

  2. Been hearing about the fires there ont he news. I feel bad for how many people have lost thier lives. Really sad. Hopefully the fires will come to an end soon fro you guys.

    The windchill here is -13C. It will be a little lower tonight.

    I'm just rolling on my beat to hell crappy OEM 15's with no center caps, lol. And the snow tires are near the end of thier life. they don;t last very long due to just how soft the rubber compound is. The road salt kills rims unfortunatley. My car is caked in it right now sinc eI just got back from the post office.

  3. The Burgundy was my old '92 I4 Camry, and the Blue one is my mom's '05 I4. My mom's '05 actually has a bumpy suspension like a boat, but steers easy. The '05 is actually MUCH MUCH quieter then any Camry up to 2001 I've been in.

    For the steering, are you susre the power steeing is working correctly? Here in the US, there is a known issue with a seal in the power steering syatem leaking fluid on the 02-06 models. How bad are the roads where you are?

    By any chance, do you have the Sportivo model? The Sportivo (I think like the USA SE (Sport) model) has a stiffer suspension and tighter steering.

  4. The reason, unfortunatley, they are so rare, is that they were only sold in a few states. It was never a real Toyota spoiler per say. It;s hard to explain, but it. The part # for the spoiler does not even exist in the Toyota computer. <_< I've tried. If I ever get my hands on one, I;m have a batch remade in fiberglass. But who the hell knows whne that will be.

  5. Who the **** on TN is selling a lip spoiler? Last 2 that sold went for $300AUD BEFORE shipping. As for the saturn, BigBird had a saturn spoiler, not a lip spoiler. He now has the rare lip spoiler on the car when the previous owner put it on (eyeball96), who ironically, has one on his other Camry too......*****, lol.

    If you got the US Black Depo headlights, you'd be fine doing a projector retrofit in them using RHD projectors. You wouldn't have an issue. That would be the only good way for you to do it.

  6. For the clear indicators/blinkers, there is 2 styles her ein the US. And you are correct, neither will fit. One is a 2 piece design, and the other is a single like yours, but much shorter.

    As for the headlights. they will bolt onto your car fine. 2 issues:

    1: They use different bulbs. Outside bulbs are the Low beam, and inside is the High beam. You can easily make your own wire harness for it.

    2: Yes, the beam pattern is different, so you'll need to adjust the the lights in a big way to be good. As well, they do not put out as good of light as the OEM US headlights do. You CAN get them, and do a custom HID retrofit using a Projector from a car there.

    This is my friends car:

    (Ok, don;t have pic. I'll take a pic tomorrow and post it for you)

    As for the Spoiler, if it's the same one as int he pic below (my car), it is RARE. I was just seeing something on that spoiler, and it was not attached. It;s on my friends car now. I've been trying to get one for 2 years. And if you find one, they can sell over $200 used. They do not exist new as faw as I know.
