What's your next planned mod?

Kinda jumping off LynchburgCSI's thread of What did you do today, but what mods do you have planned?

Shit it doesn't even need to be a mod, what do you PLAN to do to your camry today? haha

-- For the 97 --
  • adjust clutch pedal
  • add gear oil
  • custom memory foam seats (work in progress!)
  • oil change
  • fix leaking oil drain plug
  • flush coolant
  • install my new ECU
-- For the J-Vin --
  • compression check
  • flush every fluid; brake, coolant, trans, and power steering
  • oil change
  • CAI filter change
  • remove and repaint strut bar
  • general engine bay cleanup
  • put the interior back together now that I've finished it all
  • maybe find the reverse lights?
  • get the rear bumper fitting right
  • clean tape off trunk

Also, hitting up LKQ on Sunday I believe to see what I can find for the J-Vin!

Its never been done on a Camry, but it can be done. I saw it on Overhaulin', I think. They installed a paddle shift kit in a Chevelle? I'm not sure what the car was now. Anyway, it had an auto trans, and solenoid mounted on the side of the trans handled the gear selections via steering column mounted paddles.

When I saw that episode, I searched for the company that made the kit. I found them, and...well..I can't justify spending that much for something so unnecessary on these cars. I wouldn't even install them on my restomod, 65 Mustang.

It's a cool idea, and would make for a really trick mod though.
