    is it 4 or 6 cyl?

    turbo it?

    people dont really buy camrys for performance unless they know what they are doing in a super sleeper project.

    Are you in Atlanta? (Real question being, do you need to pass emissions?)

    TRD makes exhaust, drop in air filter, oil cap, high pressure radiator cap, oil filter, thermostat, full suspension, and there is a factory aero kit you can pick up, as well as the optional BBS wheels.

    It's too bad you missed out on the 1MZ-FE; there is a TRD supercharger for that (it was the V-6 for the first part of that generation of Camry (I believe)).

    I personally think the oil and radiator caps look baller:



    The TRD radiator cap is towards the upper left, thats the TRD resin oil cap and below the header is the white (U.S. spec, the Japanese one is red) TRD oil filter.

    Oh yeah, the TRD radiator and oil cap are totally going to give you made power, yo. Especially when the VTEC kicks in, werd.

    That's good news. If you want to do a swap, I would recommend a third gen 3SGTE, it's a 2.0 liter turbo and makes 255hp, and can be upgraded to about 275hp at the wheels with a boost controller, exhaust, and a few other minor upgrades. Or, you can swap in any Camry V6 of your choice.

    The stock engine is pretty decent if you want to get a good turbo system and have it installed.
