how does it shift anyway? That gaiter looks awful... it's so... tight.
I cannot wait to see what you do with this thing. Mine was totalled last month and I miss it. Trying to find another V6 manual around here is proving to be difficult. Have fun!
I love you guys, please leave child car seats strapped in the rear for all events and pictures. Maybe stick a nitrous bottle in each one just for extra lol-factor.
I can't wait to see the avalanche of hate-mail this will generate. Should be one heck of a sleeper.
We hear the following excuse a lot: "I can't do trackdays or autocross because I've got XYZ, which isn't a sports car." We're here to say that you can go fast and have fun on track with just about anything. Even a family sedan that your Memaw drives can be a ton of fun out on track.
To prove this point, we bought a 1999 Camry that we found on Craigslist for $2700. It's a somewhat odd combination of the V6 engine and a five-speed transmission, but many of the modifications that we'll be doing can work on the four-cylinder or automatic versions.
Our plan is to fix a few small issues, baseline the car at a few events and then spend about $2000 making it a fun and competent track car. Our total investment will be less than $5000.
I can't wait until this thing goes up for sale. :-)
I see a little of the old GRM in this one, can't wait.
My '92 V6 5spd combo was surprisingly competent on the track.
I didn't even know it was possible to get a Camry with a manual transmission.
Niiiiiiiiicccccceeeee.... Watching this with interest.
I have one of these puppies. Eibach pro springs, Tokico blues, front strut brace, cold air intake, TRD sway bar and exhaust. 134,000 miles so far.
Excellant idea. Subscribed.
love this plan
hmmm. maybe it's time order that camry my company offers for a company car...
Cool! Recent life changes forced me to look for a cheap, reliable, practical sedan with bland looks, so I figured why completely sell my soul and not go with something with a manual V6? Couldn't find a Camry but ended with an '05 Altima. It doesn't have the Camry's understated looks or maybe reliability but the VQ35DE's extra 56 hp make up for it :) Keeping my eye on this project for inspiration.
