Great Oldie song but that is not what this is about. Unless someone can tell me where I can get a Gen6 Strut Bar for a V6 then I am through waiten. My friend has a bitchen machine that will cut the piece to my specs I will use submarine grade aluminum and then stainless for the tower mounts and the bolt ends for the fit adjustment. So this is allot of work for one unit but we will polish it to a mirror finish and then clear coat to keep corosion down. I may use a clear blue finish on the tower mounts,not sure yet but the car is blue. So I really would rather spend the time doing other things so do you know who builds a STRUT BAR for 08 Camry I guess the 07 is the same V6 may be an issue but I have not started the project so I do not know. I use to build allot of parts for a Top Fuel Dragster from scratch none broke and lasted race after race. Thats why I got to sleep in the trailer with the car and not in a tent hahahahahah. God I loved racing. Ok back to this time period who has one in the box???????????
search stabilizer bar or strut bar and there is one or two out there for GEN6.
i dont like the looks of the ones out even though they have a nice look to them, just not my taste. you will find pictures though.
The ones that are available are for the 4 cylinder engines, the V6 is too big and I don't think there's room between the hood and the engine to allow one, could be wrong, wouldn't be the last time.
Thanks for the reply, I did a search used every thing I could I never found a V6 bar. I am going to do some measuring this evening and see if it can be done. Like my post said I have made many parts for thet Fuler car which were my design and they held up to 1500 HP back in the day so I will try if I can make it fit. It may take an X brace which is but ugly and more like a NASCAR i really like the tuner cars I am an old Valley cruiser Spent a few nights on Mulhulland Drive and Pomona and the Valley again in the day. I still love and crusin custom work and all the trick stuff. Well I will post again when I take some measurments. This is a fun car no matter what crap they sling anything you can drive will look cool TUNER OR LATER. See the later part now? Old guys rule and when we stroke out some lucky young guy gets to buy our ride cause the wife hates it. So far I cant keep her out of it which sucks.
Ok maybe I am the OP but come on guys gimme a break where did you get the bar an address would be good. Oh and is that old person or old prick. Ask my wife and she might tell you it is outdated penis.Or did I miss the whole point of OP. Hell yes its confusing being old having to much time on your hands and still wanting to live like you just got back to the world. So tell me did you have to lower the brake resevour? I dident get a chance to look close at it but it is sticking up in the way on the 08. Another thing is the throttle body does it change with the K&N because it also sticks up. Thanks forn your help Dad sorry if I ramble it happened when I retired.
Ya you are right I was doing it again, custom is cool with me I just thought it would be better to buy one and bolt it on. that is about what I had in mind when I could not find on on the net. I found a guy in Pheonix who has the metal that is very hard its not 6120 it is even harder. I used some to build a under water camera housing its hard stuff but will still flex. It is used in submarines because of the strength and it flexes. OK well unless I can get one like 07toy has then its a shop project. Thanks again guys. And 07toycamry the cardomain site her ass blinded me man hahahaah!
