1MZFE Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Is there any aftermarket performance parts that are available for a 1997 Avalon? I've looked for hours, and found only air and oil FILTERS, and I'm starting to think that I need to get everything fabricated myself, I couldn't even put a cone air filter on my car due to how my intake is set up; if anyone could help me locate some good websites or find anything that potentially could help, it would be appreciated.

Leighcm Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Did you try trdusa.com? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1MZFE Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 I looked through their parts catalog, and for my car I did find 1 part that MIGHT fit, since the 97 Camry has the exact same engine as my car, I do hope that it will though. It's part number PTR10-33970-04 under their catalog, for a V6 Camry 97-01. Other than that, I found nothing that comes close to what would work for my car in terms of increasing the horsepower. Either that; or I'm apparently blind. Anyway thanks for the link, and I'll continue to look for parts; I have hope that there might be more coming out, since they are currently working on a supercharged Camry in TRD.

Leighcm Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 It should work...the Avalon isn't a big leap from the Camry. Also, check for parts for the Lexus ES300...the motor was also very, very close. Some other ideas: rodmillenstore.com, HKS, greddy, stillen.

1MZFE Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 Yeah, the ES300 is the exact same car practically, with minor asthetic differences; and of course the name change. That's a good idea though, I did forget about the 300; I'll be continuing to look for a while, and hopefully start to get my car up in HP within this next year. Hoping to get her to be around 300-350, to where I could take on STi's and wipe em out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 That would be fun. You may want to invest in some suspension & brakes though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1MZFE Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 Yeah, I plan to upgrade everything on it, including getting some strut bars, making sure my frame will stay up to the increased power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Start with handling, braking, etc. before you go on to horsepower adds. It'll be safer that way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1MZFE Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 Any brands or parts to recomend? Or just check up with TRD and see what they have available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Check to see if Eibach has a suspension kit available. Brembo & Hawk brakes are great (don't know if they make anything for Avalon, maybe you can retrofit somehow). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1MZFE Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 Concitering that I'm just getting into the whole engine and actual mechanics of the cars, I'm not sure if this will work, but I did do what you suggested and at least looked up some stuff for syspension, I beleive the following one will work... http://eibach.com/cgi-bin/htmlos.exe/09194...239692300027542 "Selected Year: 1997 / Make: TOYOTA Model: Camry, 4 & 6 Cyl."

Leighcm Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 It may work...I'd call Eibach and ask before I ordered if I were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leighcm Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Pretty. Is it legal to tint the windows in your state? It would look nice all blacked out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1MZFE Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Pretty. Is it legal to tint the windows in your state? It would look nice all blacked out... Yeah it would, it's about 200 or so to tint the windows, and I will be doing that here eventually. I've already thought about that. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compcg Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I don't understand how is it that you said that you cant fit a cone air intake set up for our cars? I have a cold air intake off my 00 grand am and I took the cone out of it and directly bolted on the avalon.. Works perfect, I do get a bit better throttle response and it does go a bit faster in the higher rpms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
