Hi all,
Bought a 2001 SXV20R Touring model V6 recently with 200000ks on the clock and a few things wrong with it.
Loving the car and the interior, spent some good money on replacing all 6 speakers, head unit and also installing amps and 2 JBL 12'' in a ported box.
Umm and ahhhed about investing in a TRD S/C, but realised even installing it would be a nightmare and I would have to import a lot of parts from the states.
Considered resselling her to make a quick buck, but i decided I'm keeping her. And now I want to make her a bit more fun...
Most people are surprised when you tell them it packs 143kws and I want it to show it in a few more subtle ways.
Purchasing a reco or low km engine anfd a new clutch to solve a few problems and to guarantee a bit more durability.
Then i was hoping to work on new exhaust (& exctractors?), maybe better injectors and maybe a bit more. Would like to avoid playing with anything more internal than valve timing.
Lowered, bigger rims are also in order.
Basically what I'm asking is I have seen lots of nice looking cars on here and was wondering? Where do I start? Where did you start? Any recommendations?
I have some mechanical background (always done my own repairs) , I have plenty of tools (dad's an ex mechanic) and money (working full time with zero overheads).
I havent purchased anything yet but id like to get started soon and was wondering if any of you guys would be willing to part with some performance camry wisdom and point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
