Oh yeah, the short list of what is to come (all on order or to be installed):
Intrax springs
Tokico struts
Whiteline front and rear swaybars
Full poly bushing set
2.5" mandrel exhaust from turbo-back
Subaru Legacy turbo air-water intercooler and CAI
I should be running 5-7lbs. safely for a while, then its on to the transmission (309k miles hasn't treated the one that's in there very well), then wheels/tires then a new motor.
So, uh... what about your car will beat mine?
*cough*WRX*cough* hehe...

This thread isn't about my WRX... You make a very bold statement - you don't know what I have under the hood of that... You'll get much farther in life if you get that chip off your shoulder. Why exactly does it matter if you might be faster than my WRX?
Anway, I posted this mostly for the gen2 guys so they can have a little inspiration... not to challenge anyone.

Originally posted by Zoni_Camry agreed... itd be interesting to see a 3sfe turbo up against a 3sgte...
No contest there... the 3s-gte will win all the way. With the 3s-fe I have in there now, I just want a reasonable 180-200 crank horsepower. A 3s-gte comes with that much from the factory. I'm never going to try to claim my Camry will be fast. It will be fast enough to surprise a lot of people though.

Bah, if you really wanted to, you could make the 3sfe into a monster. But for all that money, you might as well just swap in a 3sgte.
I would still like to see what someoen could do with a built 3sfe and the rippmods unit.
Well, after the final outcome, I'll be at the finish line with the cold case of beer. I ain't got no money right now to work on my project, but I'll contribute to this post with a cold case in the cooler.
Nice pics Charlie.
Keep us posted and good luck with the 3SFE turbo project.
Talisman, you got pics of your 3SG setup? How's it coming along?
Zoni.....whaaaaasssssuuuuuuuuppppppp. Good luck with your project as well.....
