USA July 4th weekend tune up *56k's killer*

By Thursday I already have the shopping done.

Barbecue cook-out: $130

Fireworks: $0

Seafoams, wd40s, buttloads of cleaning stuff, sand papers, orbital buffer, rags, buckets, oil filter, and 1gal mobil 1 full synthetic oil: $120


Hours of scrubbing, grinding and bending over, multiple cuts, dirty finger nails, metal shears in eyes: $0

Having a stomach full, cruising in tuned-up Camry: Priceless


Yeah well despite the good feeling, I could have gotten a lot more rest lol.

Here's to the main actor
Family sedan + performance sport + 4x4 offroad



Spent sometimes worked on the grill. Shaped and painted but still need a bit of work.


Seafoamed


To the scrubbing and waxing, ... no pic, who wants to see a man in his fullest working condition

Fireworks yay! Only able to take pics of these.





End of day 1. Only headlights and rims are not cleaned.


Bird's gift to me...last owner left it on for too long, paint damaged





To the intense stuff
ACIS mod by Toyrs


Tasty...hmm




look at all that grungy, can't be good for the car. I seriously thinking about removing the throttlebody and inspect for serious sludges...



Tons of seafoams, WD40 and sweats




Also did the quicker transmission shifting, turning about 3 threads down. The Camry feels a bit different. The shifting is indeed faster and harder (the kick is more noticeable). Transmission shifts down earlier. About the ACIS mod, I'm not too sure, sometimes it pulls hard, sometimes it doesn't. I still need to figure out the sweet spot to take advantage of the trimming. After all, I did clear out a lot of that grunge stuff on the ACIS and the throttlebody itself.


Happy belated 4th July everyone.

Rims cleaned, headlights cleaned.
