Not too much is available. You can do all your suspension just fine, there's plenty enough available for that. Support the Camry community and buy from www.CTMotorsport.com As for power, you're SOL. Anything making any decent power gains will be custom. And body work... I believe the bumpers will fit sedan or coupe, but for the side skirts, they will have to be worked on to fit properly. Lots of kits for the Camry are at www.ExtremeDimensions.com however I don't know anything about their service or quality.

If you're looking for standard bolt-ons to your engine, it's the 5s-fe.

V6 = 1MZ-FE.

i4 = 2AZ-FE

Since you have V6, you got the 1MZ

cool thanks guys!

clindst · 06-16-2003, 01:27 AM

but does that also apply to the 2003 models. If so does that mean your 1995 v6 is identical to my 2003 V6?

what type of modifications would i have to do to the side skirts in order from them to fit?
Also, does anyone else have a 96 camry that they have installed HID lights into? reason i'm asking is cause if i do get them i'm scared of losing my High Beams in the process!

not identical, but basically the same...

the 2003s have VVT-i...

the older versions dont...

well actually mine doesnt ahve vvti and its a 2003 but say i had a 2002 for instance...does that mean that the 2002 engine is the same as the 95 engine? Seems like a long time between engine revisions...

2003s have VVTi...

you're must be a late 2002...

the engines arent identical, like the exterior and interiors, the engine gets revisions...

usually nothing too big, maybe a manifold is changed to a different material, something like that..

compression ratio may be different, but never by too much..

maybe fuel injectors...

so, never identical, but like i said, basically the same...

clindst · 06-16-2003, 02:14 AM

well my car is definitely a 2003 and it has the non-vvt-i engine...unfortunately this is true

Warped · 06-16-2003, 12:39 PM

What I know (not much...):

95-96: Automatics only. If supercharged, engine and/or other comforts become very unstable. I think the first guy to supercharge his 95 ended up taking it off after a while...

97-01: Superchargeable, also available in stick

02+: Heard of a s/c 02...by roysan I think. Haven't heard much else about Gen5's...

1babygirl · 06-17-2003, 02:52 PM

i have heard of some 2003's with a non VVTi engine especially the v6. i think all of the 2003 i4s got the new engine but i think they waited a little while before giving it to the v6s. an easy way to tell is if you have fog lamps you definately have a 2003 but you still could have purchased it in late 2002.
