Gen 4 Engine swap
Hi, I've been a TN lurker for a while now, and have been overwhelmed with the Camry scene (not a whole lot of that in GA). After going through the forums I've decided on doing a 3SGTE engine swap into my Gen 4 Camry, as well as upgraded suspension, etc. If anyone at all could give me advice as to what I need (or should get) towards performance parts, etc. it'd be very much appreciated. I've checked the DIY thread for most of these things, but still came up a bit short. Any advice at all (other than pointing out my short comings, and "newbness") would be great. :]

North Georgia. We joke about it being the "yankee" part of the south.

You should swap in a VR38DETT and do an AWD conversion.

Ah Alpharetta area here, not to far.

Anyway a good place to start for performance parts is the TRD rear swaybar. Alot of bang for the buck anyway.

I'm sorry, but these kind of threads bring out my sarcastic side.

Dated a girl in Alpharetta... real nice area. Hit a little "bump" with upgrades to my car. Let's hope it's nothing serious. :]
