Hi all how are you? I've been following up with certain threads on this great forum, so I finally decided to become a member as well. I have a Toyota as well, a 95 Camry Coupe.

I bought this car for $125 when it was a total mess, literally. It was a total loss. I work in a body shop in Chicago and decided I'd fix it. Honestly, I always viewed Toyotas as underpowered and and less exciting than Nissans or Hondas, but now that I fully fixed my car and drove it since January, I grew to really like it. Plus, I like the rare Coupe trim. My Camry is the LE and has a 2.2L I-4.

I want to make a project out of this car, but having read many threads on the 5S-FE engine, it will be hard and costly to do any mods. I hope to take advantage of the fact that I work in a body shop lol. So far I am working on a "fan-site" where I'll document the progress of the works. Check out after Im done building it: www.95solara.com. Its not up yet though!

I added some 17 inch original '05 Toyota Solara rims to the car... it looks beautiful! It added so much value to the car, haha!



Wish List:
- 5S-FE to 5S-GTE OR 3S-GTE conversion
- Manual Transmission
- Tinted Windows in the back and quarter glasses
- Subaru-sounding muffler
- and the biggest of all... *drums rollin!* ...ES300 front conversion! *dreamz of ES300 coupe*

My name is Sebastian by the way! Call me Seb
