BEFORE BAY CLEANING...




AFTER BAY CLEANING...



AND WHAT THE FUTURE BEHOLDS...

Looks pretty nice bro really clean and nice paint super nice engine bay. Whats up with the steering wheel? Gen1? Not a big fan of the whole blacked out tail lamps but to each their own. If the car comes out nearly as nice as your rendering then the car should be balling! By the way what fogs are those?

Lookin really good.. but i got a question.. where did all the wires and especialy the power steering stuff go?

the steering wheel is out of an 84 ae86 sr5.
and the fogs are from autozone. there only 20 bucks and SUPER bright. and incredibly easy to wire up.
my boy zack who was helping with the car, works at autozone. so he hooked me up with those

with nothing but the alternator on your belt, its pulls alot harder. until you hit 4th (assuming you have an auto) it bogs down hard. thats the next thing to go... and steering at a dead stop is obviously harder, but nothing thatll make you resent driving it.
but i mean cmon. look at how much cleaner the bay is with the resevoir and allll those big lines gone. all the honda guys i know with tucked bays have shown mad props to it. its so worth the sacrifice IMO

Imma definately look into it.. im just looking at if i ever resell it and the fact its a daily driver.. and i have a manual it pulls hard now with 269,000 miles on it I spin through second if i get em lit up just right..

I gotta admit... visualizing my engine here cleaned up like yours intrigues me

[TBayToyotaBoy]

Very clean engine bay, and a nice ride...I wouldn't have the guts to rip-out the p/s equipment on my V6, though. It would be too heavy. You do have me thinking about getting rid of the a/c plumbing and compressor though. Waste of belt resistance, IMHO.

Can't wait to see what you make of it, if your sig pic is the end goal. I've always liked the Panda paint scheme.

Whats with the SR5 badges on the back???

[Jimnist]

Lol, was thinking the same thing. Maybe he ripped it off a Corolla SR5 wagon?

[RL-521]

yeah man. just for shits and giggles. that side of the trunk looked empty

[Wangan]

Take off the SR5 badge and put on a camry GT badge instead. Keep the car "legit" lol

[RL-521]

no wayyyyy. that sr5 emblem is BANGIN. one person has already come to me and said "there's sr5 camry's?"
i was like HELLL YEAHH
