new in here! already liking it!

hi

first sorry if my grammar is not perfect i speak french...

my name is simon, 20 from quebec/canada. i joined TN because i've been redirected here for a few of my searches from google and found interesting stuff in here!

i'm a full time welder so i dont have any trouble working with piping and fabricating metal parts...

i REAllY like messing with engines and everything with one in it lol

my current creation list is:

60kmh electric bike, electric beer case, mini barstool racer, turbocharged 5.5hp shopping cart, two liquid fueled turbojet engines...

i own a camry 1994 le v6 3.0l (1mzfe) i really like the car but i kinda find it lacks power

so i thought of swapping a 2jzgte engine (yeah long term project full rwd) then i heard about the 3sgte witch seems a way better idea!

anyway glad te be here! here is a not-so-good shot of my ride

Welcome to the community Simon! Your grammar looks fine to me . Sounds like you've come up with some very interesting creations so far, the turbocharged shopping cart sounds like a hell of a lot of fun!

The 3S-GTE swap sounds very nice indeed, hopefully you can turn it into reality. My brother has got a 3S-GTE in his 98' Caldina and it goes extremely well, so I'd highly recommend it. Would go even better in a Camry since it weighs considerably less.

All the best with the future mods to your car
