1. youve provided no info about what model or options you have, so fail.(most prolly dont remember)

2. youve been around a while and should know better then to post a question like that, so fail again.

3. SEARCH. i promise youll find an anwser you want, or dont want, but then youll be able to post up some more specific questions that we can anwser.

i have a 1994 toyota camry 4 cylinder 2.2L engine. engine is stock no mods at all performance wise. i am very limited to what i can do to the engine. my car has 38k original miles in prestine condition. i am wondering if there are little things i can do to tweak performance. Nothing big like engine swaps etc. Just little things that can produce minor yet noticeable gains. When i do search, it is all big ticket mods. im looking for fine improvements or easy odd jobs that could enhance performance. My car is more of a flashy car than a fast car, which is why im looking for little things that can improve it slightly in performance. The camry is my everyday car and i just want to improve slightly. If anyone has any suggestions just let me know..

Mr.Poop Cakes

I don't feel like writing nicely so... clean the throttle body, but ur car has low miles so the tb may not be dirty. then do a air filter swap to some aftermarket piece, that'll improve the hp slightly. do some tubing so that cold air reaches the filter also insulate it against the engine bay heat. On another hand you could simply do the STAGE 10 WEIGHT REDUCTION. STRIP EVERYTHING USELESS like the bumper, hood, doors, rear seat bench, spare tire,fenders, windshield wiper fluid tank ect. i prob said alot wrong

I drove my 96 cam for two weeks with the interior stripped, weight reduction does wonders! It also makes stoplights odd sitting in a Camry with one seat and nothing else.
