  1. I replaced my fuel pump & filter an under the back seat minimum 1 hour job my mechanic said but now the fuel pump makes a loud whirring noise the mechanic said I can relace it under warranty if I have the receipt but then the cost of labour not under parts warranty. So put up with the noise as you can hardly hear it when in the car but just another noise to hear, can't wait to get a Camry hybrid from the looks of it a far superior quiet car

    My Cramy, powder coated extractors, lowered springs Monroe struts mags,215/45/17" tyres, stainless sports exhaust, home made skirts alah Clarke Rubber no speed machine but cool L.E.D. tail lights and parkers done enuff now looking for my next project.
  3. I put a twin stainless steel sports muffler on my 2000 Camry, I got it cheap I bartered with the shop as it was on the shelf so I got some off as I said it was shop soiled, but it is on it is very noisey I now sound a bit of a hoon machine without the power and speed. So stick with the cheapest option.
  4. Lowered my 2000 Camry by about 2" with springs and Monroe Struts it is a heavy car but corners really well but with stock seats you slide around a lot so tell your passengers to hold on. It goes on rails! Also put on mags with 215/45/17" tyres only 2.2 motor but being a S.O.M. If I had the 6 cylinder or turbo or supercharger I wouldn't have a license, lol. The only motor mods are pod air cleaner, extractor, and a sports muffler. Boom without the zoom. Sometimes it is how you feel about how you feel in your car and look not about the power even my friends saw it has the feel and the sound ambience but not the speed.
  5. I too have a 2.2 Camry 2000 model I too tried to increase power with powder coated extractors, stainless steel rear sports muffler with 2 exhausts and a sports air cleaner and got very little increase so little I did not notice any difference also I lowered the car 2" with new springs and sports shockers & mags with 17" low profile tyres, it handles great but with those seats tell your passengers to hold on when you corner,lol. If you go for a different cam then you probable have to re-chip the computer and so far I haven't heard of anyone but you will when you spend a lot of $$$$$.
  6. I cheated and did the easy way out I bought an Aldi G.P.S. which came with a reversing camera as well for my old 2000 Camry the camera was installed high on the number plate and wired into the reverse lights but it sends a radio signal to the G.P.S. when reverse is selected. Or an electrical friend said some people put in an isolation on/off power switch so you can check on who is behind you when you are at the lights or driving!
