My new daily

Update May 5th 2011


First day home


Minor interior mods was first in mind


Next was wheels and tires. Since I work at a tire store, it's a must. Can't sell people wheels if I don't have wheels.


Then it was time to drop the car 1.5"


Right after I decide to get it tinted


A small intake add on


Gotta add the JDM front tag, lol


New brake pads and rotors


6k HID and new head lamps


MOTOR SWAP and custom header, intake





New wheels


Dyno time



That's it so far. I am planning on coming back for another dyno run with nitrous later this month, if I don't end up spending too much money in Florida.

Thank you

It's N/A. The car was in really bad shape when I got it. Fixed up a little bit. Interior was horrible. Had to change center console, shift boot/ knob, steering wheel and etc..
The motor failed emission twice. Finally got it pass by 7 point on the third time. Had to get a new cat and adjust the timing along with adjust a few other things. Good thing it's the last year for emission.

I bought a 4age. It's sitting at a friend's house right now. We're going to swap it soon. I'm still debating whether to boost it or not. Got the money for the new motor by selling the Camry.

Very nice! My neighbor had one of these when I was younger and I always used to look forward to going for a ride in it. Your one looks great in Super White. Happy motoring!

The original idea was to do a v6 swap. I backed out because I didn't like how small the engine bay is.

I had an AW11 and MAN do I miss that thing. I've got a 95 Camry now, we've done the opposite swap! Secretly inside I hope that in a few years when I've got some spending money I get t-boned in the 95 and then can swap the 1mz into an mr2! Course... the Camry's growing on me more than I thought it would!
