I have you all beat...

I drive my Camry daily without bumper reinforcements at reasonable speeds

Thing is - with the weight reduction and the extra N/A mods coupled with a 5-spd IT'S SO HARD TO RESIST driving this car like you stole it - with the colder weather it is even more responsive...

I did take yall's advice about one thing though...Found a decent 93 Accord (i know, i know...) 4-cyl auto that I use for hauling the family in...so if I do manage to wreck the Camry it will only be me inside and not others.

(But that Honda is a DOG after getting used to the Camry...)

Anyone top that?

[camryguy96]

Lost my keys,
Broke into it,
Ripped out door lock and ignition cylinder because I thought the door key was different,
Damaged shit while doing this
Found out it wasnt different (stuck cylinder)
Pulled up the whole factory alarm,
Hid it behind the lower steering rack cover.....(which is half unbolted/damaged mounts)...
All of that for nothing

[Chris Crash]

Oh, I installed a clutch backwards once. Because of that, I'm still having issues.

I removed the Throttle Body to clean it, and then dis-assembled the IACV and gave it a through cleaning. Put everything back together, but forgot to connect one of the coolant hoses to the IACV.

So I start up the car, back out of the garage, and drive around the block. I pulled into the garage and shut off the engine. Then I heard a dripping sound, kinda like a cow pissing on a flat rock, looked under the car and there was coolant everywhere.

The coolant was all over the engine compartment, and all over the floor of the garage. In addition to that there was a line of coolant drips that went from the garage, down my driveway, around the block and back into my garage. No question as to who did that evil deed. And there was nothing I could do about it. To say nothing of the fact I just dumped half of the pricey Toyota coolant all over my neighborhood.

It was getting dark, and I hosed out the garage and the car, as my neighbors looked at me as if I had lost my mind, hosing out the garage at night time. I just smiled with my best DumbAss smile I could come up with.

Soooo, check and re-check the coolant lines, all of them.
