Should be uploading some pictures on my website, but in the meantime, i thought I show off my Gen 3 Camry. Its a 1993 XLE with 146000 on the clock. Just got it back last week after my timing belt went out on me, so I had all that work done including the water pump.

Here's the video

i like the drop. what are you riding on?

personally im not feelin the rims. good work! hope to see more of yours soon. check mine out. im pretty much on the same page as you

No drop yet, thinking about dropping it this Winter.
I just recently changed the struts though. recently shopping for some nice springs ( I cant afford CoilOvers besides, i heard their ride quality is bad)
The wheels are 17'' PCW ( panther Custom Wheels) in 235-45z-R17
Will check yours out too

By the way,
That was NOT a drop. I had all my shit in the car when I was moving from kansas to North Carolina.
That was some 2 and a half years ago, and with the old 14in Pacer Rims.
Towards the end of that video is the current look

Should have had the rust spots refinished before the paint job.

Other than that, looks nice. How much did you shell out for the timing job?

Yes... I can see why in that clip...

cinkmoot · 09-01-2009, 06:28 PM

i actually thought the guys at the Maaco store were gonna take care of it..I didnt see how they'd paint over rust. especially after stripping the whole car.
So when i was picking her up, I ask the guy and he's like, oh, that will be $200 more.
Its very little, i'm shocked you spotted it

cinkmoot · 09-01-2009, 06:30 PM

Timing belt costed me $650.
That includes towing to the shop.

Finally figured out how to put up pictures

I wash the engine every time i clean the car

you can see why i wanna lower it some

Back

old 5900K bulbs from Ebay before I got 10000K HID kits

Before the Paint

Right after new DEPO Clear Headlights

Got some Smoked Len Covers, can't use them at night though

Dark Knight. - car was kinda dirty here

One of the 2 HID kits. Really small compared to my friend's kit.

Last but not least, TRD Emblems on either side

whip_cracker · 09-02-2009, 06:13 PM

Ah nice! Got the radiator cover in the engine bay :P I got one of them too... only a couple of them here in Australia thanks to good ol' Adam shipping us over some

***Gothmog3VZ*** · 09-04-2009, 09:02 AM

smoked lens covers? Where'd you get those?
seriously, I want a set

nathan9231 · 09-04-2009, 03:42 PM

nice im working on redoin my car now also.

Zviator · 09-04-2009, 03:46 PM

I remember your car with the blacked-out lens from cardomain long time ago.

Finally made it to TN eh ?

cinkmoot · 09-04-2009, 04:50 PM

I didnt know some cars came without that cover...thought it was standard.
But anyway, when I was changing the headlights, I thought it looked really hideous without it. i'm taking care of mine and all the pins are in place.
(I actually have to remove it when i'm installing and removing those smoked covers)

cinkmoot · 09-04-2009, 04:52 PM

Yeah, that was me. Don't know what took me so long to come on board here. I could never figure out how to put up pictures and when I finally did, it was some process so I came back fully prepared.
I remember the name Camricer as well.
