  1. True...it just seems like it would be less fun. Honestly though, I haven't been able to drive a manual yet. However my grandpa isn't exactly a certified mechanic, but he's worked on tons and tons of cars, and once I get my license I'll be driving up there so he can help me replace the motor mounts. After that if I can find a cheap manual tranny cheap enough, we may go at that also. He says it's harder in the FWD cars because there's hardly any space to work with the tranny and the clutch...he's more into classic cars or newer RWD cars. But hopefully I'll have at least some sort of manual in *my* Camry sometime..

  2. Hmm...I *might* be interested. I don't say that to lead you on, only that my parents are going to be a little wary of me ordering parts for my cars before it's even officially mine. But regardless of that, I am interested. If you could let me know about that when you get the time, that'd be great. Also..for the kit...do you mean the balasts and the bulbs? Also, which bulbs? I guess there are high and low beam ones for the 94 Camry..

    Thanks!

  3. I thought just for attachment? How do you attach the balasts?

    EDIT:

    Are these XENON HID light systems street legal?

    Every jurisdiction has its own rules and regulations governing the use of automotive lighting. XENON HID lighting systems that are supplied with the vehicles from the factory are DOT approved.

    NO XENON HID conversion kit available from any source is DOT approved if installed outside of the factory. Moreover, in the U.S, this is not street legal for use on public roads. As a result, we officially endorse the kit for exhibition and off-road use and will only sell the kit to be used for these purposes. We are not responsible for buyers who violate the terms of sale while in which they will assume all responsibilities for any unauthorized or unintended use other than exhibition or off-road use.

    Our DOT approved line of HID products are completely street legal and are S.A.E approved.

    They aren't street legal?

  4. Can you recommend any good sites to look for some of this stuff? I guess I could get the transmission itself from ebay....but I can't find decent clutch kits or shifters...or clutch pedals there. By the way, a short throw shifter just allows for faster shifting, right?

  5. Or a manual transmission. Hmm. :)

    And I'm seeing these clutch kits and light weight flywheels....are those necessary?

    EDIT:...and just browsing Ebay, I see tons of manual Celica transmissions, just not Camry ones. Didn't you say a Celica transmission would fit in a Camry? It says it fits 5SFE engines, which is what mine is, but it doesn't list it as fitting the Camry. What do you think?

    EDIT: Like

    This 93 Celica Transmission w/ 150k on it

    or

    This 90 Celica Tranny w/ 75k on it

  6. Ok let's change the question a bit.

    You're me, you've got $2,200USD to spend on your completely stock 2.2L 4cyl 94 Camry LE sedan. I'm curious what you'd get. Keep in mind the only thing I really bought so far was a pair of Pioneer speakers for the front doors....nothing else.

    Thanks!

  7. Haha. Yes I would think so. Can't wait until I get more comfortable with this car and can open her up a little bit more on the highway. Not...wreckless driving just...more than the 35mph or so that I've been doing so far.

  8. Next week dad and I are going to replace the hood struts...those little things that are supposed to keep the hood up...ours haven't worked for years. I figure we may as well replace them now since I'm probably going to be under the hood every now and then....not to mention you can get a pair of them for like 30 bucks and they just bolt on...

  9. Haha well that's something I wasn't planning on....and anyways my dad got me the speakers I asked for today...just the pair of front Pioneers. Hope they sound as good in the car as they did in the store. But now I still need the deck and the rear speakers. But anyways since it's technically still his car, he says I have to wait until I get my license(and the car passes to me) until I can install the speakers myself. On the other hand, he says we can have them installed by Bestbuy if I really can't wait.

    I'm thinking I'm going to wait. I really want to start doing things to this car by myself...not to mention right now I'm just concentrating on driving and not the radio.

    Haha I really do love this car though. I've gotten used to it in the past three days, so when I got to mom's house and tried driving her 2004 Rav4...wow I hate it. The Rav4 not the Camry...haha.

    I just can't wait until I get more comfortable with it, and can add things like the intake and wheels.

  10. Not just over my head, but way over my head. But why is this such crap? I've been hearing moderately good things...wasn't expecting anything huge, just thought it'd be a good thing to do.
