can someone give me links to the parts i need.

i need to put AC in. the whole system was taken out.
i need the back two speakers (best buy?)
i want to replace the steering wheel with a racing one. i saw some on ebay but i need one so i can wire up my horn to it.
the last thing i need is four hub caps.

thanks

Does the back have speakers or are they just blown?

well any steering wheel hub adapter will give you a wire to wire up the horn button onto the steering wheel... i've gotten one off of ebay and my horn works.

A/C is probbly going to cost you an arm and a leg for parts and labor

Speakers are easy. Go to any place that sells car audio and they should be able to tell you exactly what fits. Most of them will install for you for fairly cheap if you buy it from them.

Steering wheel is pretty simple too. Most of them come with directions and all the hardware needed to hook them up, horn included.

Wheel covers are the easiest. Just buy some that are the same diameter of your wheel and follow the directions to put them on.

As for the AC...good luck. Why was it removed?

the back speakers were removed. the wires are sticking out and the faceplates and screws are right there so that wud be easy.

the ac was taken out beacuse it was ruined so they didnt even bother with it.

and ive seen steering wheels with hub on ebay thanks.

well since summer is almost over i wont need AC till next june but how much will it cost for two speakers, 4 hub caps and the steering wheel + hub?

atobe · 08-01-2007, 12:08 PM

the prices kind of depends on what you buy. speakers range from 40-100$ .. hub is like 30 for an ebay one and around 60$ for a momo one... steering wheel also.

Hey mittygore, welcome to TN!

You don't get out much, do you? One trip to Wal-Mart will answer your questions about speakers and wheelcovers.

Wheelcovers @ Wal-Mart will run you around $10-$15 for the set (the ones on my wagon came from Wal-Mart and were $10), and speakers are probably about $30/pair for cheap ones. Like Kingdom said though, just make sure you originally had or have speakers in the back. Not all Camrys came with rear speakers. If it didn't come with them, you may or may not find the wiring for them tucked away back there.

My Grant wheel was $80 for the wheel and $20 for the hub adapter. I've seen decent looking wheels for much less on ebay though.

Here's a thread that shows a pic of my steering wheel. Only complaint with it is that I can't see the top of the speedo or tach now. And when I drive the wagon it feels like a freekin' bus with that huge wheel.

where do you live??

***HomeGrown*** · 08-02-2007, 08:06 PM

Thanks mittygore. It's a 91, and it's not restored. It's all original. I picked it up 1 year ago and it had 42k miles on it. I've waxed and detailed it about 15 times though, so it's kept pretty clean.

I'm not sure what size speakers are back there, but I really need to look at them because they're blown (still working, but very buzzy).

galaxee · 08-02-2007, 10:47 PM

we're in the research triangle area in north carolina. let us know what ya need, we can ship that's fine.

WVcamry3sfe · 08-02-2007, 11:10 PM

if your ac was removed completely. And everything...was removed, then you should have more power. I know it can be difficult in the heat of the summer to deal with no AC. But in the Boston area, it should be at least bearable. My AC doesn't work in my car, and I live in a much more hummid and hot area of the country. I can deal withit, roll down the windows and I'm fine. I'm eventually going to get the AC system in my car removed anyhow. I race my camry, so any little bit of power or weight reduction I can do is something I'm interested in doing!

mittygore · 08-02-2007, 11:43 PM

thanks for all the replies. and galaxee ill let you know.
