camry feeling powerfull! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

MalooMAN · 08-20-2003, 05:11 AM

when i drive my auto camry gen2 it seems to get more and more power each time i drive it. my tyres are just about new and it seems to be able to drag heaps of cars (4cyl 4dr's that give it a go) and bag em up when ener i want to. ive herd that in all the cars they make of 1 make you get 1 or 2 special 1's that are dif to the rest. is this tru? is my gen2 1 of them 1 or 2? Oh and im getting a weird vibrating sound when i take off fast, is this my cv's going? i cant feel any vibrations in the steering.

vibrations when you take off hard? probably a bit of wheel hop

MalooMAN · 08-20-2003, 05:24 AM

nah u can feel wheel hop in the car. this is like a sound like the mud flap is rubbing but it isnt. and yes when i take off hard

Go get in a real sports car and then get back in your Camry. That will fix the "camry feeling powerful" syndrome extremely quickly. :p That's cool that the car is running good though. Take it to the drag strip. See if it really is a factory monster.

I have no clue about your vibration problem though.

carbon buildup, ++ compression...

My guess:

wheelhop, torque steer, and wheelspin...

hope your motor isn't knocking.

im not sure what it is... im starting to think it is something to do with this broken off piece of plastic that is joined to the car nere the mudflap that is vibrating or something. well i hope it is that and not my C.v's it isnt wheel hopping or wheel spinning. can the wheels move back with excessive acceleration? if so maybe they rubing my wheel arches.

Most likely the driveshafts. Could also be the wheel bearings, lower ball joint, tie rod ends, or engine mounts.

How much would it cost to get this fixed in Aus if it was any of what Ken4 said?

uluahunta · 08-26-2003, 03:51 AM

sounds like motor mounts are going to me, how much miles does your car have, my friend has a gen2 with about 115k miles and the motor mounts are fukked sometimes it feels like ur in a an airplane or something.

MalooMAN · 08-28-2003, 06:33 AM

its got 250+km on it. the mounts have cracked around the top ot them and you can see the metal they join onto. are they fucked?

dj14901 · 08-28-2003, 07:31 AM

Yeah, definitely get them fixed ASAP. Plus, I'd take it easy on the car until you do get them fixed, you wouldn't want to cause any more damage...
