Due to lack of interest on my Camry....

And money looking like it has the potential to be better starting next month....

More mods coming it's way.

Plans to have complete before end of spring '06 (which will make exactly one year of modding on my Camry)

New timing belt
Tein coilovers or comparable coilovers (replacing Tein S.Techs)
In-dash motorized TV (this time I'll actually KEEP the unit instead of sending it back )
Good headrest tvs (preferably with tilt)
Component speakers up front
Good set of 6x9s in the rear
Good 4 channel amp
cf muffler actually installed (been collecting dust in my laundry room)
new vinyl sunstrip
red/clear tails

Most of it is just tweaking now... I've got the look I wanted when I started modding. I just want it to be lower. The stereo is bone stock for now, and does the job.... but as the kids get older, it'd be nice to have entertainment for them AND me.

The Camry really made me think twice about selling it when I drove 200 miles freeway and I remembered how good the mileage was. I think I'll just keep it afterall.

Right now I owe $4k on it. After September, I'll only owe $2800 (I love 3 check months!)

Wow! Nice list there. Can't wait to see this thing all done. Do you plan any engine mods?

This engine will never be fast without forced induction.. and I'm most likely not going to do that because then some of the reliability leaves. I don't have time to be maintaining a turbo engine and I don't really want to drop $3000 for a supercharger from Rippmods.

I was considering trades.. but not straight up trades or it defeats the purpose of me selling the car.
