Hey whatsup... heres the story ya'll I've got a 1990 bottom of the line Camry hehe... no power steerin', no a/c.

I got enuff dough to get a new car but i just got my licence and i dont wanna crash a new Xpensive car.

So i was just thinkin of spiffin up this camry abit...

- I was thinkin 17' Lenso Concept Five rims, now cuz its not power steerin i was wondering wat MAX tire width i could get without it being to hard to steer?

- I was also gonna lower it abit, but i dunno nothing about that so any advice ya'll can give me'll b TOPS

Sorry ya'll... almost dun
- Also i was gonna get a straight through Xhaust dun... i know it'll sound alot better but do ya'll know wat kind of performance increase i'll get?

(btw wats the MAX speed supposed to be for this model... cuz i cant seem to get it past 130kph)

If u's could give me sum help here that would be kewl... And if u's think of ne thing else i could to supe up my CAMRy just tell us... THANX

Man where do these guys come from?? English classes would be nice.

Anyway, to answer your questions... for lowering, first you have to specify whether you want performance or looks... each of them will take you a different route with your suspension.

An aftermarket exhaust system will get you some power increase for sure, if it is designed well. Most of us have gone the custom route instead of buying "generic" systems from Borla or something like that. Straight pipe with mandrel bends will do the trick.

A good muffler is a must so your car doesn't sound like sh**. It is a 1990 so your displacement isn't big to begin with.

As far as rims/tires and your max speed, I'm sure someone else who has more experience with that can answer you. On my 1993, I have taken it to about 216 km/h and then back down... I don't know where it actually tops out.

Sorry about that... thats just the way I'm used to writing in chat programs and stuff to get the message typed quicker...

Well... for suspension, performance would be nice but if it only gives a marginal performance increase i'll probably opt for the looks.

Damn... you got your camry up to 216km/h?! What Model Camry is that and Is that with mods or without mods?

Well, thanks anyway... so any one else know about what size tyres i should get and what my max speed should be?

Well, my route is clear... pure performance... so I got H&R Sport springs which only lower 1.25" but I find them great! For struts Koni would be the best but also the most expensive by far. I got a great deal on Tokico so I went for that. I have the Whiteline rear swaybar. The only thing I do not have is a front strut tower brace (yet). I was hoping to fit the TRD one in there but it doesn't look like that is possible so I have to find a generic brand for that.

I have a 1993 4cyl Camry. I think I did that speed bone stock when my car had lower mileage and then also at higher mileage with very minor mods... not really a factor.

yours only goes up to 130km? that's suprising....cuz i have the same car....1990 Camry DX Auto 4cyc....mine goes up to 180km/h....that's the best i got in highway 401.... is yours 5speed? how many km you got? mine has 238000km

btw...welcome to the forum!!

Its a bottom of the line Camry CSi I think... with 208000kms done. Yeah, its manual and 5-speed but the gear ratio is really crap for the 5th gear... like i can be doin 50kph and be in 5th. Is that normal for 90' Camrys???

Well I havent got it past 130, but it hadnt really topped out yet. It was just taking ages to gain speed so i stopped trying cause i didnt want to get pulled over.

For the suspension... does it cost more the lower you make the suspension?

ThanX for the "Welcome"...

Oh yeah btw i just got a (8) Ball gear Nob... Just a little improvement to the looks... :wink:
