modifying

[asscarracer]

I have a 93 Camry LE, white (AKA grocery getter), what do u guys think I should do to it. Remember, I'm a noob when it comes to the modification crap.

[prnc_chrmng]

you should do...what ever you want to it really, kit it out fit it, lower rims tires, supercharger, paint it....or you could just leave it stock...its really up to you

[Luckynumber5]

err well do you want performance or looks or a little bit of both?

[Razo-E]

if you're a noob to modding, then DONT mod...

that simple..

we call modders that dont know how to mod "rice boys"...


you dont want to be a rice boy, do you..?


seriously, just read up on the boards, USE THE SEARCH BUTTON, read up, and once you gain a bit of knowledge, do something simple, but do it yourself..

you'll love the self satisfaction you receive..

To reiterate what Razo said, read the boards, books, websites etc...and get a basic understanding of engines, suspension and other automobile related topics. Once you've got a basic understanding, you can start looking to improve on aspects you're interested in.

Don't simply mod because "you can". Try and understand how it works (pros, cons, alternatives) There's tons of info out there - both good and bad. You're encouraged to ask questions (after you've searched on your own)

Your first investment should be a Haynes manual (or equivelant). They're readily avail online or at Pepboys

[Eye8Pussies]

yes, research is the key....


not only will you then avoid the "rice" stage (which many of us have gone thru, no denying it)....but you'll also save yourself money in the long run

do things right the first time and you won't have to upgrade or redo things.....ESPECIALLY in the audio department

i dont agree with razo, how is he gonna become fimiliar with modding if he dont try anything , that the stupidest thing ive ever hered if you dont know how to mod then dont , bro do what u wanna do to your car if u like it then who cares

[CamryPunk]

With a ton of money and a lot of wasted time... you can do this:




hehe.

epidemic I'm sure he'll still make stupid mistakes he can learn from. We all do...even after years of modding. There's always something to learn.

The point Razo was trying to make is that you can make better decisions by tapping into the vast amount of info already avail. at your finger tips. There's no need to waste money, time, effort when somebody in the past already gone through that. 2 seconds of research can save you hundreds or dollars and hours of frustration.

[prnc_chrmng]

pretty much, decide what you want to do, body kit make it look infinetly better, look for a kit that you want, find out who sells it, ask about how it fits (very important, otherwise your kit'll look crappy and youll have to spend a lot of money to make it look good) i think most people stated out with a white camry....

[asscarracer]

Thanks for the advice, I think Ill do some research first and leave some of it up to the pros for a few extra bucks,
John

Part of the research process involves asking questions. With that said, don't hesitate to ask
