Default Astrovannin's new car.... Turbo 2g Camry anyone?

Ive been looking for one of these Camry's for a while now. Its an auto but thats an easy fix. It also didnt have the "digitronic" dash, which is a bit of a **** off, but Il find one somwhere.

Im currently looking for a complete 3SGTE to make a 5SGTE (2.2L) to put in there. Im planning on using a 3SGTE ECU with a piggyback.

Apearantly these things have most of the chassis in common with the Celica so it should be a simple upgrade to 4 wheel disc and suspention upgrades should be a little more plentiful then they are for my Tercel.





5x100 mesh wheels anyone?

James says his dad will drive it til it dies.. he bought it brand new too haha its in pristine shape too, and its a north carolina car so no rust... I'll have to see if he'd be willing to give it up. His family also has a toyot van, like a 1985 or something haha they love toyotas and never get rid of them.

sounds like to much work for nothing. swap to a v6 then boost 5sfe's go for about as much as the v6'es anyway.

The old rwd Camry's (the real 1Gs) were just 4-door Celicas. It was even called the Celica Camry. Makes sense that they'd keep on making them mechanically similar to them, at least for a while.



I take it this is a FWD?
