Dude, why mod a camry?

[grayling953]

No i wasnt drunk, i was completely sober, driving from one job to another. Still unsure of what happened, but i got some tests done and am going tomorrow to get results, likely that it was a seizure of some sort. Like Funfgang said, i loved it, but in the end it was slow and fwd. I'm mostly over the car. Haven't been driving since the incident. hoping to get cleared to drive soon, and start looking for a miata Rwd, convertible, and lightweight. cant wait



Wheel was destroyed by going over a curb. you can see the top of one of my d2's

i had never seen a 2 door Camry ... we don't have those here

[FunfGang]

Tell us what happened to the car. For such a rare car, you seem to be taking this too lightly.

Or it could be the fact that despite it being a cool looking car, it was still a '90s, fwd, spray- painted Toyota.


Regardless, glad that it sounds like you're alright, and I'm looking forward to the next project.

Well guys, cam is wrecked....complete memory loss surrounding the incident, all i have is some info from witnesses and some pictures. Cutting my losses and moving on. Looking for an NA miata when i get my next car i'll upload a link to its thread. sadly i had just installed D2 full coilovers 2 days before the wreck. This time i have enough money to buy the car and get coils right away so expect updates soon!

Surprised there was once a Market for a 2-Door? Strange.

diamond racing steelies. I know they might be played out, but theyre rare on toyotas, and nobody's done them on a camry (except for a gen 2 wagon) as far as i know.

My last car had bigger wells in the front than the rear, so I decided to tuck the front tires and go with a lot of forward rake. Forward rake looks a lot meaner than even being even on a car with different size wells.

Red would look awesome! What kind of wheels are you getting?

[grayling953]

Yes, i **** how it sits as well. not actually reverse rake, the front is lower than the back, but the fenders are cut different. No matter, thats why i'm saving for coilovers.

As to the paint, i did that because i was sick of the crappy tan, faded, and covered in marks from old stickers. meant to be temporary, but has grown on me. gonna keep ot for a year or so then get a real paint job. thinking candy apple red, but like a little more maroon than that.

New wheels are also in the works after coilovers, but for $150 on craigslist, theyre a hell of a lot better than steelies.

Also I am putting myself through college so money is tight, hence the "budget build" flavor so far. But more recently i have decided that saving slowly for better parts will be better in the end.

Mod it like some of the zenki s14's on here, go for the same style and it should turn out perfectly. While still being unique.

I do agree with willis though, the rattle can paint job and reverse rake kills it for me.

[willis]

2 door, 5 speed. Blew my mind.



Then how bad it looks did too.
I feel like it could have been good but the spraypaint and wheels and reverse rake killed it.

[guanl23]

lol you on there?

yup :P

[molly_watah]

Looks awesome actually. How'd you prep for that rattle paintjob? Looks to have come out nicely

[grayling953]

I love when all these 90s grocery getters recieved the stance treatment.

me too

I don't see why not

Nice improvement! I can respect that

thanks dude

I saw one of these on the road once, and thought I lost my mind.

yeah theyre few and far between

I remember watching Rod Millen driving on a Camry in the old North American Car Touring Car Championship back in the early 90s. I found this site of a guy modding a 4 door: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/252850...-toyota-camry/

I read that 95-96 240SX owners get their cars mistaken for your model 2 door Camry LOL.

yeah ive seen those videos, pretty sweet! lol thatss funny, crazy similar!

as far as camrys go this is probably the best one a few reasons

what are those reasons?

Because CamryNation!!

lol you on there?
