HEY everyone I used to talk on SC3 a bunch but you guys aren't so rude... so now I'm always on here (or will always be on here! LOL)
ME: Brandon Mendez
MINES: I Drive(illigally... I turned 16 on the 27th but still don't have my LIC. cause I got my Permit late... and my parents know that I am a "wreckless" driver!!! been driving for 1 1/2 yrs though!!! ) a 94' Gen 3 Cam LE; I-4-bangin' Auto :cry: 5S-FE
MODS: WHAT I HAVE DONE:
*Clear Side Side markers... (ask me about these if you got a 92-96 Camry I can get ya' some for cheap as dirt!),
*Custom Red "flames" on the center console, airbag cover, ect. (masked for hours and then got ghetto interior paint(come on I'm only gettin Minimum WAGE! ))
*Rebuit the engine (w/ my dad! LOL)
*Carbon Fiber (look(ya know ghetto 3-M decals)) w/ anodized aluminum parts and button for the E-Brake (same style for the auto "shifter")
*HID (style) Bulbs
*"Strobes" using "High-Powered" LED's I got from my friend and then drilled 1/8'' hole into the back of the head-light assembly and was VERY lucky that they didn't crack on me after spending a year or two in the Arizona SUN! Oh yeah well I hooked the LED's up to a little 555 timer and tossed on some solder, then spliced it into the light's cable's and shrinkwrapped em' and taa-da: had my ghetto strobes... hey at least they work!!! :x
*Yeah so I got a bunch more little things that you guys would all probaly make fun of me for like LEDs recessed and drilled with-in the air conditioning "port things" so that it emits a red glow. Hey, it looks cool! :-?
*And other basiclly in-expensive mods to the engine ect (little tuning)
*And even more crap to make it look cool.
PLAN TO DO WITH MY RIDE:
*Little 7'' screen custom mounted (don't know where yet) mabey even 2!
*SONY Playstation2 so I can play games&DVD's with out the seprate DVD Player!!!
*Once I fully own the car (LICENCE) I will stick on good suspension(H&R springs with tokico shocks)/ mabey custom reinforced axles
*Wheel Set 17'' / 114.3patteren I think (correct me if wrong)
*Rubber
*custom cold air intake (route it straight down from the throttle body towards the radiator (don't have cruise control)
*turbo the 5sfe for less than 5k I HOPE!!!
*rod millen front bumper with the cut mods heard that SY did it, sorry I'm not trying to steal your idea or nothing I just really like how yours looks.
*Side Skirts & Rear Kit
*possibly a wing
*red plug wires
*a little IN-JEN lol Dress UP! (matching colors)
