Cool 2wickedtoyz is back but the camry is suffering

hey guys i haven't been around for a while cause my pc crashed and i cut my online off cause i needed the money. my rear shocks are going, i just replaced my rear wheel bearings, but on the way down to south florida my rear main seal blew out about halfway into the drive (about 246miles) so i spent about 20 worth of motor oil just to make it the rest of the way. i took my car to jap auto in miramar(they are realy good and fair) it's going to cost me ~500 but the car will be retrned to me tuesday afternoon. most of this stuff happened thursday :shootme: .

the question i have for you guys now is...

what rear discs can i put on the car that will fill the void in my rims like the supra rotors do?

if you do a v6 front rotor in the rear somehow..... i dunno....

you can always look into putting together a custom rear braking kit... wilwood makes rear brakes with shoes inside for parking brake.

look at it this way though. things like motor mounts you only replace once in a great, GREAT while, so it's not exactly a perishible item.

have you considered just rebuilding the motor at all?

good to know there's still life over there though, was starting to wonder what was up with no posts in so long.
