What is the easiest and cheap mod to do to my 1992 Camry LE? Its still stock and everything! My, friend told me to get an K&N filter for the thing. He has a Mazda Protege5 which kicks major ass! One question is that how much horsepower does my car have and how much can I have if I modify it? I have the 2.2L 4 engine. I read the owners manual that it has 132 is that true?

you have 5sfe motor, do a search and you can find plenty of good things, how much money are you willing to spend and how fast do you want to go?

cold air intake

swiss-cheese your air box. its free, fast, easy, and a proven winner.

just make sure you drill the holes below the filter and away from your engine.

an intake and exhaust seems to be the most popular mods you can do since its fairly easy to do and easy on your wallet too. if you have the 4 cylinder engine youre probably not going to beat any other cars around except for maybe other 4 cylinder camrys

cheap mods... ummm weight reduction, swapping rims/tires to 13 inch (you can find some really cheap rubber and rims at the junk yard!)

you can get a k&n pod filter.

another one is to remove your spare tyre and jack, plus the carpetting in your boot/trunk

hahaha, just pray you won't get a flat, hahahahhaa

Cheapest mod:

Do a tranny oil flush - fill it up with Redline oil

Do brake fluid flush - fill it up with Ford premium fluid
