Well I must bid you all adieu! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Sadly guys, I will be stepping away from the Camry community. I just purchased a 2005 Evo VIII:

The camry is now up for sale in the fs section:

http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/t93268.html

Anyway, I hope somebody can pick her up soon and part her out or fix her as I am in kind of a bind - I moved into a new apartment and I literally have no room nor time to part out the car.

I'll still be around, lurking - maybe in a couple years when I move out of my current residence I will purchase another camry as a project vehicle.

I know I was not the most active member on the board, but I know many of you personally from meets down in LA and such. Hopefully I can still attend a few here and there and keep up with you guys.

I wish all of your future projects go well, and if you guys ever need my help with your camry, you can always still pm me and I would be glad to help.

-Scott

Scott, sad to see the camry go. It was one of the nicer ones. Hopefully a TN member can purchase it and it'll stay in the family

And Congratulations on the EVO!!!

sorry to see the camry go, but getting an EVO now....that is one huge upgrade

i thought / heard that russell might be buying your car???

anyways, GL with the new car

DarkMastyr · 08-19-2005, 06:21 PM

d'you get the SSL package? Took advantage of that 0% for 60 months thing I see.

EDIT: never mind I looked at your picture again and see you got the regular seats/no moonroof instead of the SSL.

The only thing keeping me from getting a new 05 EB w/SSL is the damn insurance on this thing.

d0rkiishchris · 08-19-2005, 06:34 PM

YEAH NO KIDDING AWD, 4 Wheel ABS but cuz you have about 140 hp more than the rest of us 2.2L drivers, you gotta pay crazy insurance (depending on your age).

PUT ALL STOCK lancer panels back on and make it a sleeper!

"It's an amazing machine..."
(Johnny Trans' cousin - The Fast and the Furious)

That's why I love Lancer Evoultions baby.. I love the EVO III and the EVO VI GSR TME like no other. They outhandle any other AWD machine on the road, period. It's only TRUE rival is itself...

terrastrife · 08-20-2005, 12:16 AM

or an STi.

the thing is, equip an STi with AYC and YAW comtrol, and it would be faster :P

the STi's speed is purely mechanical.

so just hope subaru dont get smart and give the road going STi some of the rally going's ecu smartness

Ruffrydasean · 08-20-2005, 12:29 AM

Good Googly.. you couldn't wait for teh IX to come out

... still fawkin nice!!!

Lord_Anarchy · 08-20-2005, 12:34 AM

The EVO (USDM) doesn't have an AYC system so it would be an advantage for anybody. In the end, the USDM Subaru's are 2.2L vs. 2.OL Evo. They have a shade more displacement on the low end and have a less lag because of it. Put the JDM EVO VIII Vs. STI for the same model year and the EVO will win, hands down. The USDM Subaru for model year '05 had more HP than the JDM '05 STI because the JDM version stayed true to it's WRC hertiage and abided by it's rules of 2.0L. REGARDLESS of that, the EVO still owns the 2.2L STI with it's same 2.0L that was slightly (a little, little, little bit) toned down for the USDM public.

What the EVO VIII couldn't beat the EVO IX will annihilate. MIVEC baby..
