So it has #120k miles on it but sounds and rides nice....

I will be doing a tuneup this weekend....IS there anything else i should check or replace? thanx

Also...what is the stock size tires we run? thanx

[bigbird]

when was the timing belt and water pump replaced last? check the seals on the motor and all the fluids.

stock size should be 205/65/15

V6.....................

[Creeps228]

Timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, spark plus wires, oil change, coolant flush/change, transmission flush ( not necessary but nice to make sure you got new tranny fluid ), etc

[gruvee87vertgt]

4cyl + heavy body = useless to add performance products.

If you just want sound, CAI and exhaust. You probably won't get more than a 2hp gain and you'll lose low end torque which is what you want with a heavy car.

Just get a nice stereo and rims and enjoy the car until it falls apart and you have money for a better car.

Im not sure, but i think you can get a super charger for the 4 banger. I heard a while back that the one for the Tc fits camry I4. not sure but you might want to look into it

^ it depends if he has the 5sfe or the 2az... it will not fit on the 5sfe.
