The Reason Why I Bought My Camry - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

i have a new edition to my family and i wanted to share this moment with u guys. he is the reason why i got the camry as before i had the camry i was driving my 400whp 04 wrx in which i blew the motor on just before gettin the camry. when i had the subaru down i went ahead and decided i wanted more power and did a full build on the engine and heads stroked the engine from 2.0 to 2.5 did a port n polish head with all the titanium hardware i can find. then i get the news that i have to sell the car for something more practical, i sold the car for 5k wit no motor or tranny just recently sold the heads and still have possession of the built bottom end, the wife hated the suby cuz it was too loud and tooo fast and she said that i cant drive a baby around in a 600whp car. so to the date the new baby mobile is the camry i love it even though i wish it had more power(by the way 09 le) and dont regret gettin the v6 cuz i wanted good gas mileage. so on to the pics

the wrx

the hole in the block

the camry

me and my pride n joy

Congratulations on the new addition. I was in the same boat as you, I had a 510 rwhp Ford Lightning that I sold to get my '09 four banger Camry LE in preparation for our new baby. I miss the Lightning, but I wouldn't change the way things worked out. Being a proud new parent really puts your life into perspective.

Again, Congratulations on your new baby.

what relation do toyota and subaru share?

edit: never mind, i found the relationship between the two companies. toyota owns 16.5 percent of fuji heavy industries, the parent company of subaru.
