What about your current ride is making you lose hope?
Looks nice enough in your pic, and I bet you can't beat the payment on it.

new car FTW hahaha...

post up your current mod list, that will help.

patrolman · 06-03-2007, 10:04 PM

dysk you got a new car damn. Im a back in the day member lol havent been on in a while.

uh mod list...

Cyber GT body kit
AUDM Buper Signal lights
Aftermarket head lamps and headlights
Custom Paint
Apexi N1 Style Racing exhaust
indash flipscreen cd player
jl audio sub and amp
set of tokico blues (new in box) sitting in the basement (will put on when i get time)
uh thats about it
motor swap for another stock 5sfe the other blew up

Im loosing hope because of the lack of speed
my friends all have lets see a srt-4 twin turbo FD RX-7 07 350z wrx sr20 240sx you get the point a camry really cant compete

and i dont think i have the money to do a 3s or 1mz swap with a big turbo.

***DAMON*** · 06-03-2007, 10:29 PM

1mz swap alone would be huge for you bor... youd feel such a big difference, I know I did. Id say save for that and maybe, but if you do keep the camry, get some lowering springs next for sure if you dont have them, thats a must!

I would not spend money on the camry......... Go to a strip club better, lol.

94CoupeV6 · 06-04-2007, 01:23 AM

^ That or a casino. It's a better investment than modding our Camry's haha.

Wait, no. Keep the Camry and spend all that money on your car. I know that's what I spent all my graduation money on haha.

bigbird · 06-04-2007, 02:34 AM

well ur gonna need more then a thousand for a worthy down payment for a newer car but it would be enough i think. its either time to do some serious work to the car or save the money for other things.

***DAMON*** · 06-04-2007, 09:17 AM

^like maybe... college?

I didnt get to spend any of my graduation money, I had to use it all for school. You guys suck

patrolman · 06-04-2007, 09:46 AM

haha i meant a sell the car + 1000 dollars =`s down payment... but yea if i were to do something to the camry i have no idea what ripp doesnt make anything anymore so no cams header or s/c i dont know lol i just dont know. Not like i can just pull up cusco apexi hks or aem and order mass parts like all the sports car owners can.

RedPhoenix · 06-04-2007, 11:50 AM

dont get me started on you damon!

Coilovers or buy an sc.

MIC0417 · 06-04-2007, 11:57 AM

Dude let me tell you, don't buy a new car. You just graduated HS right, well the money isn't exactly rolling in, now is it? Second a car loses several grand as soon as someone drives it off the lot, so it would be better to get a car that is a year old and save yourself a pretty penny. Also b/c you probably don't have credit yet and won't have the cash upfront you'll have to finance and they'll rape you with the interest. Long story short, wait until you've graduated college to start thinking about a 30g+ sports car.

if ur goin to college totally save it cos 1st year u gun spend bank - and not just on tuition and board.
