a long road of learning

This is going to be interesting. I know the V-6 automatics with +850lb in trunk are fairly quick, so this one should be no less powerful.

Are you going to do any body mods to the car?

I never knew V6 Camrys were available with manual transmissions. Must be a rare combo.

yeah, over at toyotanation they said they're really rare. i like that it's rare

Get a new toyota badge for the front(or a badgeless grille), remove the shocker sticker and polish your headlights.

After those simple changes, get some wheels that fit better and drop her down.


The car itself looks pretty good, with a few minor changes it will look amazing. Welcome to stance|works, glad to see some older camrys here.

i'm gonna be heading down to the scrapyard to pick uo a new emblem soon. i pulled that shocker sticker off a long time ago, cause i really didn't like it.

last weekend i put my new set of oem headlights in. i'll have some new pictures up tonight!

what's up guys,

i decided i'd make a build thread since i've only made one post and have been lurking around the forums since i joined and even before.

my car is a 1999 toyota camry le. it's a v6 1mz-fe with a five speed manual. now i know that there's going to be a shitload of you guys that are gonna be dicks and talk about how i need to do this and that.. but i'm gonna do this my way and i'm always down for some constructive criticism. not trying to come off as an ass, but i already know there's gonna be some **** coming in.

i bought this car back in march of 2012. i needed a replacement for my '88 civic that i blew two motors in. i came across this car by luck, and it wasn't the top of the list of what i wanted.

a month later, i wrecked the car. here are some pictures after my dad and i got it back on the road:






that's how she sat for about a year.

now, we're able to get on to the fun stuff.

in august i started up a full time job, and as a reward i bought myself a set of k-sport coilovers.



these next two pictures are the test fit of the front of the car after we dropped her the max drop of 3"




with those terrible stock rims i settled on a 1.5" drop..

i had this urge to do something with the stock rims, so i painted them pink



i bought a set of drag dr-34 to help get rid of the "stock" look of my car. they're 17x7.5. i know that they're not wide, but they'll hold me over until i get my money up.

here's how she sits now:






right now it's got a lot of the "rake" look to it. i'm planning on dropping the front down another inch. i'm hoping to roll the rear fenders and then maybe pull them so i can drop the car back down to the max drop. the rear driver side tire is rubbing pretty good on the shitty roads around here.

thanks for checking this out. i'll have more updates coming.
