Scion bulletin board

I have been reading over at the scion site and those guys are serious about maximizing performance from their 2az-fe engines. They take them apart, put on turbos, headers, superchargers, whole exhaust systems, LSD replacements, all kinds of s**t. Then they take them out for a spin, tear them up and rebuild again.

I don't think we can get even a set of headers for ours much less anything else performance wise. (except some exhaust upgrades, springs and coils and wheels) I guess there is not much a market for this stuff on a camry.

if you have the money anything is possible, because you can just pay someone to do all custom work. Or if you're mechanically inclinde you can do it yourself.

if there is a will there is a way. dont let the lack of support get you down. of course it will cost more money and there is much less factory backup (like scion and trd) but dont make excuses that itll slow you down if you want to be hardcore

I had a 2005 Scion tC before my Camry. In a club, went to shows, the whole thing.

It wasn't always like that. It took forever for companies to make turbo and superchargers, intakes, suspension parts, and everything else.

Some guys were putting aftermarket brakes for Celicas on their cars. They were making custom turbos and intakes. It caught on in the aftermarket and now Cusco, Tein, Progress, Megan, Ingalls, and many more companies make parts for the tC.

This was the same thing for bodykits and other accessories.

Look at the parts market now for the Gen 3, Gen4, and Gen 5 Camrys. There is a large variety.


Of course, if you have money to burn and skills. You can start fabricating your own parts.
