  1. $8500?? damn for a repairable write off?I've seen Gen4 camrys v6 conquest model 1998-2000 go for about 6-8k in very good nick at that price you can buy one thats running just fine!
  2. your brake pads cost $429 to change??good ***! they must be racing pads or something lol costs me $120 or something like that to change mine and be careful with ur coolant change use the toyota oem stuff or stuff that is recomended by toyota ive heard stories of engines dying with cheapy coolant.also every once in a while get a good tranny fluid change such as drop the sump clean all the crap out and change the filter and sump plug/plate.
  3. Bought my 1998/12 camry csi v6 sept 06 with 164,000 now @ 188,800 lol done alotta kms considering its been in 2 accidents and been in body shop for about 6 weeks in total
  4. I do it every 40,000 it aint that hard i personally wouldnt leave it for every 80,000 IMO
  5. BUMP!anyone can help with this?
  6. There isn't a way to inspect but if I leave the timing belt and it IS an interference engine the engine is ruined but if it isn't thats great but I have no way of knowing 100% either way andI was hoping for some feedback from other gen 4 owners?
  7. Hey, Just a quick question I currently have 185,000kms on my 1998 Camry V6 Csi but I've heard alot of different stories can someone clear this up for me? I need to know for sure if the 1mzfe is interference or non-interference engine? I bought the car @ 165,000kms and not sure when the belt was changed. I had a mechanic from a shop take a look at it and he said its def been changed not long ago and is good to go till 250,000kms but im still worried. I'd rather not change the belt only to find out the previous owner changed it not long ago and it be a massive waste of money. I have done all the small stuff by myself such as changing the oils,coolants,filters(fuel filer is a bitch) but im not sure if im ready to take on a big job like this. What I was hoping was that its non-interference and I can drive it till it breaks without doing any damage to valces/pistons. What do you guys suggest?
  8. Not necessarily I bought my 98 Camry from a private auction in Belmore Sydney haven't had a single problem with it at all I think it all depends on how well you actually check the cars before they go out on auction and how many people turn out to the auction if there are heaps of people don't bother the prices will be inflated.
  9. This sounds completly false.....I used to own a VS berlina and honestly I don't ever see a corrolla pulling away much from a VS maybe the first 100-200m but then its over unless the guy driving the VS is either a crappy driver or too chicken to go balls to the wall. The VS I had was supercharged but even the ones I've driven stock standard they are powerful for a "family " car but they can't handle for crap.
  10. 1.Lick your finger a couple times 2.Start your car 3.Expose the RED wire with a knife 4.Lick your finger a few more times 5.Touch the exposed wire 6.Get electrocuted and fried :D lol But srsly don't you have a multimeter check for voltage on the wiring should be around 12v
  11. I did't say including everything I might not get a sub at all i might get some good 6x9s and good 6" speakers and I'll probably be happy with the bass in those with a decent amp....as I said i don't need DOOF DOFF really loud quality i only need decent quality i don't see how that isn't achievable with $500? Also I'm asking for help so I need some useful advice!
  12. What is worthless the speakers or the install at WOW?
  13. How much did that set you back?and did you install it yourself?
  14. Is it really worth getting an expensive amp like that to drive my stock speakers?Won't they just blow the speakers?How good are the stock speakers?Would these Kingwood or yokohama ones off ebay be any better?Which speaker brands or places should I be going? I've been to autobahn and they seem overpriced would super cheap be cheaper?
