My first car

Hey - im a rookie to the site and all - Ive had my first car for some time now.

Since im a young guy, it would be UNUSUAL for me to pick a 1990 Toyota Camry Ultima. Pretty much here in Australia, the SV21 series Camry is a legendary family car - HEAPS of people STILL drive the car, even though they live in mansions and such.

Its a great car - its performance is standard but my Camry (Auto) packs an unusual punch - Its 0-100 km time was officailly between 10-12 seconds, mine, with no mods attached, just good servicing and TLC, it hits 100ks in around 9 - I dont know - i dont pay attention to ANY car reviews - the best car is the one you want and have.

ive slowly started to do DIY on it - and this site is pretty much were I get all the ideas from.

Re: My first car

my first car....

well theres a picture of it right below. she was a hand me down, obviously. there really isnt much i can do to it. i think im just only gonna repaint it, do some suspension work (stiffen her up, lower her), add a shiny engine dress up kit since its only a V6, and put a nice system in it. then im gonna sell it in a few years, and get a 240SX

replace stock speakers with Pioneers, plus two tweeters built into the dash or doors. costume sub box in place of center console, still picking subs, probably a pair of eights
Engine & Suspension: Ram air intake, Daul side exhaust, ignition and wires, hoter cam if available, need to learn how to port heads, some kind of cute dress up kit. lowering springs, stiffer shocks, and tie bars, and wheels (Weld Racing perhaps)

That sounds like a good plan. Good luck.
