This generation of camry has the coldest air conditioner I've ever seen. It's actually mind blowing that a 20 year old car has a colder than that of a 2018 car!
Rex H I've owned two camrys, one is a 97 and the other is 98, i always get compliments on the air conditioner when I had them. My current car is the Lexus gs300 model year 1999 and it's really awesome, what do you think about it Rex?
Always nice to hear a fellow old-school Camry owner singing their praises. It is actually kind of amazing just how well they built them from the early 90s through the 2001 model. It takes some real (lack of) talent to run one into the ground, and not much effort to keep it running like a dream.
My dad's 96 has been in 7 wrecks, with one bending the frame. It has 340,000 miles on it and still running strong. AC works great. Just keep it maintained and your good. Mine is a 2000 with 170,000 on it, planning on taking it to 2030 ☺️
I have a 2000 LE with 110,000 miles we bought it new . My wife has had three new cars since 2007. . It needs a new front bumper and left mirror . Which has caused some electronics issues Should I but the money into it ,dump it ,or drive it as is.
1999 V6 XLE owner here. Fell in love with this car. It was a pass down and has a few dents and chips in the paint but when it’s clean it still holds a beautiful shine to it. Did a few simple mods and love it.
Bought a 96 today so far I like the car other than a few dings its like new drives smooth everything works great and the guy had all the service records its been maintained very well I feel like I've made a good purchase with my stimulus check
Sending support allllllllllllll the way from the U.S. I was given a 98 camry from a relative and I''ve poured my heart and soul into making it special.
Getting a real early Mighty Car Mods vibe from your channel which is cool. I've been watching since you started modding the Camry, and I'm excited to see how much further it goes! The 90's era Toyota's just don't die, dude. I run a 93 Corolla and it still runs strong and chops those Lancers! :D
My 03 Camry is still going strong. Good reliable cars. Sure they're boring, but upgrade the stereo, replace the head unit with an Android Auto or CarPlay, get a detail, clay bar and wash the car and you have a nice inoffensive ride. I love Camrys. I'm not in the best financial situation, so having a car that never has issues is great !
Miguel Angel Medina Rise The Camry is not boring, it's a reliable sedan that is supposed to take you from point A to B. The Camry was also never meant to be a race or performance car
Ive got a 2.2 camry 1998 and it is a great car. It has never let me down. It gets repaired when it needs it and ive done most work on it myself. Most things that have gone wrong have been to do with the front suspension. I changed both cv axels last week and that has improved the ride no end.
I have a 1999 Camry, I'm the second owner. Has almost 240,000 miles on it,and runs like new. The best reliable running car I've ever owned. Customizing it slowly.👍 Will never sell this car.
I love my 98 Toyota Camry as well. Mine is tan/gold, love the color but they do look better in black, dark gray or white like yours! I had mine for 5 years so far. No problems with it at all, even tho I had a minor car accident with a guy last year. He turned left at the light while I was going straight. I ended up messing up a part of my fenders,headlights and a tire of the passenger side of the Camry. I was without a car for a month while it was getting worked on. Then after that month past by, the Camry was drivable again! It is still running great til this very day. Later on this summer I’m planning on getting a Nissan Altima coupe. Been saving up for a while man can’t wait to get it. I’m still keeping the Camry tho! Really great car to have as a daily, backup or to even pass down to any loved ones! Anyway bro you have the nicest looking old Camry I’ve ever seen. Keep up the good work on that car!
Owned a 2000 Camry LE V6. Best car I ever owned, but I didn’t realize it until I got rid of it. About to buy a 1998 with 110k miles on Monday! Garage kept! So stoked!!
Toyota Camrys are great cars, especially the V6 ones, the V6 engines and automatic gearboxes are fantastic. Me personally, I have a 2000 Toyota Camry Azura V6, which I bought in November 2012 with 74,000kms (it has now has 146,000kms), and overall it’s been a great car.
My teen car was a 1972 Plymouth Barracuda, from 1978 to 1980. Then I bought a $1,200 used motorcycle and $200 junker cars to pay for college. We gave our son our 2006 V6 RAV4. My advice is to do minimal mods and put the money into more years of college or an apprenticeship. Having a good job in your 40s and 50s is important for many reasons, unless you are a millionaire in your 20s like Jimmy Page or David Gilmour.
I owned 3 camrys so far(97-00-01) they are so reliable and cheap when its time to maintain. The only thing that I dont like about the car is the rear lateral links
One of the best Camry's ever made, to this day they're still alive on the roadways. I don't see them much in my area, but in other provinces like Alberta and British Columbia you'll see them there. I got a 2007 Toyota Camry CE, 2AZ-FE with a 5 Speed Manual Transmission fully loaded interior expected for Heated mirrors and heated seats. Basically it's an SE model with a 5 Speed Manual Transmission. Black Leather seats, power SunRoof, SE instrument cluster gauges, and SE silver trim pieces. There's so much aftermarket supports for the 6th Generation Camry's window Louvers, Carbon Fiber interior kit and door handles and bowels. There's even turbo kits for the 2AZ-FE I'm holding onto mine for as long as I can.
Had a 1999 camry touring version v6 as my first car and I gotta say those cars are unkillable but the one thing I absolutely cant stand about the car is the turning circle as soon as I started driving other cars I realized just how bad it is, a long wheel base with a fwd setup doesnt help the car and I pretty much had to handbrake turn if I ever needed to do a uie. The one thing the camry's are good at is being the jack of all trades, lots of storage, room and space whilst also not being too barge like handling wise. Good fuel economy but a bit of punch if you need it and the maintenance is so minimal to keep em going good.
got a 95 ford falcon. shit fuel economy but such a nice car to drive. good turning circle, plenty of power and torque from the big grunty six cylinder, good feedback and resistance from the steering, decent handling, great visibility, smooth auto and super comfortable.
Check your steering rack, mine started losing turning angle after I ran the pump dry when changing the fluid. The steering also return to centre, silicone spray on the knuckle fixes it
Just checked out some of your videos, great fun. Love the way your car looks. Briljant!! I drive a XV20 too, 2.2i automatic, '01. Has just passed the 200k km's. Since I bought it nearly seven years ago with 90k km's it never ever let me down, just regular maintenance by the book and normal wear (brake pads, whipers, the odd light bulbs), kept running costs to a minimum. Comfortable, silent, smooth. Rare car overhere, that makes it extra fun to drive it. No plan to part with this legendary car any time soon. Guess even Toyota don't build their car's like these XV20's anymore. Take care and kind regards from the Netherlands.
I got a 2001 Camry with 110,000 klms. Such an awesome car, i keep this car as an everyday beater car , take it everywhere. Such a smooth car. Will never sell it till it dies.
In my 5 years of owning a gen 3 (94), my only big issue has been with my tans. Had a code for shift solenoid A, put in new solenoids, still had the code, traced it to the ECM, replaced the ECM (found the capacitors that were prone to leak did in fact leak). And now I get the code when the Overdrive is engaged, so thats infuriating. Overall though, im not too mad, shes been reliable for years and I hope to keep her running. Shes my first yota, and the first car I've ever started modding (currently have a short ram like the one you installed and have done a lot of interior lighting). have plans for the exhaust, coilovers, brakes, and custom fabing a propper CAI using the short ram as a starting point. Id love to snag up an old TRD supercharger kit, but I know it's also only a dream since TRD stopped making it years ago and used ones are ridiculously priced
Y'know I started getting into cars when I came across ur channel and what really drew me in was the fact that I pretty much have same car as you lol. A white '97 Camry isnt too bad, y'know? Anyway, you showed me all the things you can do to an old wrecker. Love your content and can't wait for more!! :)
Just caught your video and wanted to say I have a '99 Camry, USA spec with the V6, XLE model. It's been a pretty good car for me, considering it's now over 20 years old. I got it over 7 years ago, so it was already 13 years old at that time. It's had the usual issues, leaky rear valve cover, struts (new KYBs), strut mounts, sway bar endlinks, and sway bar bushings as well as living in the rust belt issues like corroded rear springs and an area of rust on the rear left fender. Also had 2 emission parts go out costing a total of $100 for both, one was a gas tank vent control valve, the other was an EGR sensor. I tend to keep a car in tip top shape, so that I know I can take it anywhere if need be and there will be no worrying! The car would still be driveable even if I didn't replace these parts, but it'd have some rattles, extra bouncing over bumps, some smoking from the engine bay, and a sagging rear end if I didn't, ha!
My niece is going to be selling her to 2000 Camry. Her grandmother bought a brand new and she has had it all this time in dreads to part with it. I already have three older vehicles I don't need another one; but I told her I will buy this from her because I would love to fix it up and drive it! I think it would be a great car to have.
fuck yeah! 2003 camry owner here. best car i ever owned. no car payments, saves me tons of money, easy to fix & maintain, reliable, drives smooth. no issues so far.
1998 camry v6, just bought it, want to spend $2k on the engine, do the head gasket as a preventative measure + timing chain, then do things on the outside. y pipe is meant to be one the best NA upgrades. 190 HP is pretty good compared to stock civics, lancers etc...
I thought we had a junker because we bought our 2001 Camry for so cheap. But now its 22 yrs old and the thing refuses to break down. We'd like something more comfortable at our age and would love a camera to help us see to back out of spaces where huge vehicles park on either side.
I got a 1995 V6 XLE CAMRY and it's great haha, only issue I had was that the transmission burned the clutches and the brake pump but from there, everything else is great
2003 V6 XLE 280,000 miles everything works and only tires belts hoses oil and filters and a radiator have been swapped out, so in plain english, should you buy a used camry, YES. If you want a reliable used car at a good price, hunt around, old camrys are great bargains if cared for by previous owners.
Good cars man! I have a 96 (previous model) on my parents driveway. I bought myself a 17 Corolla but I am thinking of keeping the Camry and fixing it up. Totally worth dumping money into the Camry.
I bought my buddies 97 like 4 months ago for $800 with 294k. Just got out of the army and drove from Washington State to Indiana and made it flawlessly. Only thing is I had to keep an eye out on the oil. Now it's just hard from people wanting to look at it, especially seeing Washington plates in my small town. 297,800 she's at now.
My 1999 Toyota Camry has 345,000 miles on it. Has the best AC ever - which is needed in Arizona - I love my Camry - it's a 6cyl - five speed manual - fun to drive
My 2000 Toyota Camry LE 4 cylinder was given to me by my cousin on May 23, 2018. It was my cousin's father's Camry. It needs some work done to it. I have a vision of what I want the Camry to become. So far so good. The exterior color of the Camry is called Lunar Mist metallic I just call it Silver. I want to change the dashboard, glove box, console, and heat and AC lights to led light. The color of the led lights will be cool white. I put a new stereo system in the Camry. Like it very much. Don't ever sell your father's Camry. You are giving me ideas thanks much.
I have a 98 Camry Manual keep up with maintenance and got it at 134,000 miles now at 156,000 miles 3 years later. This car has not given me any problems whatsoever and hauls ass!!
I bought a new Camry XLE in 1997 and drove it for 23 years and 489,000 kms until an unfortunate accident ended it's life in July, 2020. No other car, aside from another Camry, will treat me as well.
My 92' Celica GT Convertible has a 5SFE 2.2 engine. It has 110k on the clock. Toyotas are damn dependable. I'm taking off my performance rims and going back to OEM rims, because, She's a classic now, at 27 years. Brand new paint is coming too.
Just purchased a 2000 Camry 2.2L, 230K miles, calling it my Camry Project. Got it for cheap mostly due to its cosmetic issues but I saw potential in it. Also own a 5th gen Touring edition
i have a 2000 toyota solara sle, basically the camry coupe and it has the same engine too. The car has over 300,000 miles on it and is still going strong, pretty sure it has the OG alternator too. I finally got around to putting new wheel/tires and oem style shocks put on it. Could definitely use a respray though.
I know this is an older video of yours but I have an 01 Camry and I’m trying to mod it and I did watch your video on modding it and I just wanted to say I love your channel it’s so inspirational to me and really motivates me to wanna mid my car 🦋🙏
Absolutely agree with everything. Got a Toyota Avalon which is basically the same car just different body and the reliability is 100% . My dad has Camry like yours but the valve stem seals perished and burns oil. Blows lot of smoke
Bought a 94 for a 1000, drove to canberra and back from Cairns for the freedom rally 12 Feb, 2022. Averaged 7.93 litres / 100ks. With 3 people and ac on. Mightily impressed!
2GR-FE's a good engine, but it's not a matter of just taking an engine out and putting another in, you're likely going to need to deal with your ECU, and get a 6 speed transmission with it.
Fun fact these were almost as fast as the 2004 year model ford mustang GT. And from 90 to 130 at the rev limiter they actually pull on the mustangs. Don’t ask me how I know 😂
I have a 2002 Rav4 and it's 17 years old and still going strong. Extremely reliable and super easy to fix as well. The Camry, Corolla, and Rav4 are all based on the exactly same frame and engine design. After Toyota came out with the AWD Camry in 1991, Toyota knew they had put together a super reliable "tank." Eventually that 1991 Camry AWD became the Rav4. If you can find an early Rav4 with the 2.0 liter engine they are super reliable as the first gen. Rav4 have timing belts whereas the second gen. Rav4 use a timing chain. My Rav4 still even has the original exhaust pipes and windshield as well. As well, the serpentine belt can be changed in about 3 hours for the average DIY mechanic. Not a lot of over-engineering and excessive electronics in the 2nd generation Rav4s. Today's cars are just over-engineered pieces of junk that are meant to be disposable in 7~8 years.
I recently replaced my 1998 Camry LE V6 strut bushings due to the squeaking sound that can be irritating unless my radio is on. Now it's quiet and drives like a new car again!
I am much older than you but these 1998 to 2001 Toyota Camerys are extremely popular and there are plenty of them around thats why so cheap for a very good car they were made in Australia and by the way the mods you have done to your Camery very nice and l do like any Toyota and l own a 1997 Toyota Hilux myself so l am a fan boy
Ive got a 1992 Camry SV21 executive wagon.Had it since 1994 and love it . Got the money to go buy a new muscle car if i want. Aint gunna happen, the Camry dies with me.
Only issues with my Camry is it’s basically a hovercraft on its 15” mags and stock suspension 😂 and the front bushings have just about kicked it in after 318,000kms of shitty roads
I want one but people in my area want 3k for one with over 180k miles. Ik Toyota's are pretty reliable but it's still just a car. Toyota's aren't magic.
Love seeing places I know if the background i have my own Camry but can't drive it yet but it'll be fun when I can get mine going around the mountain as I've seen you do aha
yo tight rims my G you giving me some great ideals for my 97 camry but what I want is black and red rims I also plan to get my camry painted black and put in a built in gps touchscreen stereo etc I defintley have to get my front and backseats replaced soon
My 2003 Camry and mostly all my peoples that have owned Toyota’s in general for a long period of time all day the ONLY thing about Toyota vehicles is that they’re rust from the bottom. My 2003 that I have had for almost 2mths., I absolutely love it. Everything about it. Only issue on the car when I bought it was the rocker panels. Absolutely done for. 1 owner, paperwork for every oil change, all highway miles. Do you suggest any site to go and get any and every you need for ya Toyota vehicle. Just trying to make this comment shorter.. Could you or anyone else that wants to update and make your Toyota Camry siiiick, please drop some links. I have some that are good but please, I would appreciate. Thks.
Ughhh I just bought me a 2001 Toyota Camry, it worked for about 2 weeks. Now it won't start. I got a new fuel pump replaced and still no start. My next fix is spark plugs and coil but I seen so many reviews say that have had that fix and still same problem. I'm so scared to put more money into it
For us Americans, could you explain the difference between "Conquest" and "Vienta" models? Are they trim levels? Do they affect performance? I'm very curious.
The Conquest is sort of mid range spec whereas the Vienta is closer to the Grande....Ive got a 98 Vienta and two Early 2000 Avalons...all V6 , so cheap to own and not bad to drive but not as nice as my BF Falcon ute
This generation of camry has the coldest air conditioner I've ever seen. It's actually mind blowing that a 20 year old car has a colder than that of a 2018 car!
Hassan M actually so true !
Rex H I've owned two camrys, one is a 97 and the other is 98, i always get compliments on the air conditioner when I had them. My current car is the Lexus gs300 model year 1999 and it's really awesome, what do you think about it Rex?
Mine blows ice cold after I recharged it
My 1997 XV10 has amazing air conditioning. Much colder than any new car I’ve been in. Love it to bits!
it seriously does, i have a 98 and within seconds of starting the car my ac is ice cold
Always nice to hear a fellow old-school Camry owner singing their praises. It is actually kind of amazing just how well they built them from the early 90s through the 2001 model. It takes some real (lack of) talent to run one into the ground, and not much effort to keep it running like a dream.

Hell yeah. I'm looking for one now as my secondary car and it's 2021
7 wrecks?!?! Dudeeeeee wtf
Love my 2000 Camry so cheap to fix and reliable and avoid car payments!
I have a 2000 LE with 110,000 miles we bought it new . My wife has had three new cars since 2007.
. It needs a new front bumper and left mirror .
Which has caused some electronics issues
Should I but the money into it ,dump it ,or drive it as is.

When you see more of these things on the road than many newer model cars, you know Toyota made a great car. I love my 1997 :)
i just got my 97 and love it

You are so right , everyone I know that has a Camry is Happy That's for sure , please keep up the Good work , your the Best ...
My niece is going to be selling her to 2000 Camry. Her grandmother bought a brand new and she has had it all this time in dreads to part with it. I already have three older vehicles I don't need another one; but I told her I will buy this from her because I would love to fix it up and drive it! I think it would be a great car to have.
fuck yeah! 2003 camry owner here. best car i ever owned. no car payments, saves me tons of money, easy to fix & maintain, reliable, drives smooth. no issues so far.
AMEN!!
camry lifer right here my 2001 camry 2.2 with 230k still running strong love it so easy to fix.
1998 camry v6, just bought it, want to spend $2k on the engine, do the head gasket as a preventative measure + timing chain, then do things on the outside. y pipe is meant to be one the best NA upgrades. 190 HP is pretty good compared to stock civics, lancers etc...
I thought it had a belt? Is there a conversion?
@@Isaiah-ft5nx not sure how I got chain, unless entered on mobile and didn't see. definitely just a belt.
I thought we had a junker because we bought our 2001 Camry for so cheap. But now its 22 yrs old and the thing refuses to break down. We'd like something more comfortable at our age and would love a camera to help us see to back out of spaces where huge vehicles park on either side.
I got a 1995 V6 XLE CAMRY and it's great haha, only issue I had was that the transmission burned the clutches and the brake pump but from there, everything else is great
2003 V6 XLE 280,000 miles everything works and only tires belts hoses oil and filters and a radiator have been swapped out, so in plain english, should you buy a used camry, YES. If you want a reliable used car at a good price, hunt around, old camrys are great bargains if cared for by previous owners.
Had one, briefly. Did it's head gasket and burned a bit of oil. Now own a 2010 model, absolutely love it.
Good cars man! I have a 96 (previous model) on my parents driveway. I bought myself a 17 Corolla but I am thinking of keeping the Camry and fixing it up. Totally worth dumping money into the Camry.
I bought my buddies 97 like 4 months ago for $800 with 294k. Just got out of the army and drove from Washington State to Indiana and made it flawlessly. Only thing is I had to keep an eye out on the oil. Now it's just hard from people wanting to look at it, especially seeing Washington plates in my small town. 297,800 she's at now.
My 1999 Toyota Camry has 345,000 miles on it. Has the best AC ever - which is needed in Arizona - I love my Camry - it's a 6cyl - five speed manual - fun to drive
My 2000 Toyota Camry LE 4 cylinder was given to me by my cousin on May 23, 2018. It was my cousin's father's Camry. It needs some work done to it. I have a vision of what I want the Camry to become. So far so good. The exterior color of the Camry is called Lunar Mist metallic I just call it Silver. I want to change the dashboard, glove box, console, and heat and AC lights to led light. The color of the led lights will be cool white. I put a new stereo system in the Camry. Like it very much. Don't ever sell your father's Camry. You are giving me ideas thanks much.
"The Camry is the real OG." You earned yourself a subscriber mate!
The V6s around this year have a lot more problems than the V4s.
You should see the problem the V2s had!
Can’t relate
@@noway57 the V 1s were a blast
I have a 98 Camry Manual keep up with maintenance and got it at 134,000 miles now at 156,000 miles 3 years later. This car has not given me any problems whatsoever and hauls ass!!
I bought a new Camry XLE in 1997 and drove it for 23 years and 489,000 kms until an unfortunate accident ended it's life in July, 2020. No other car, aside from another Camry, will treat me as well.
My 92' Celica GT Convertible has a 5SFE 2.2 engine. It has 110k on the clock. Toyotas are damn dependable. I'm taking off my performance rims and going back to OEM rims, because, She's a classic now, at 27 years. Brand new paint is coming too.
Just purchased a 2000 Camry 2.2L, 230K miles, calling it my Camry Project. Got it for cheap mostly due to its cosmetic issues but I saw potential in it. Also own a 5th gen Touring edition
Best camry from 99 to 01👍
Yes
i just bought the exact same car. has done 345000 kms and is running like a beast
i have a 2000 toyota solara sle, basically the camry coupe and it has the same engine too. The car has over 300,000 miles on it and is still going strong, pretty sure it has the OG alternator too. I finally got around to putting new wheel/tires and oem style shocks put on it. Could definitely use a respray though.
I know this is an older video of yours but I have an 01 Camry and I’m trying to mod it and I did watch your video on modding it and I just wanted to say I love your channel it’s so inspirational to me and really motivates me to wanna mid my car 🦋🙏
Thanks for sharing Rex! I used to have a Camry v6 Conquest when I was in Australia and your videos bring back great memories. Cheers!
Not a Camry owner. But I do plan on owning a Camry as daily. I wanna mod it as much as I can
yes triple yes they handle fun size power levels
Absolutely agree with everything. Got a Toyota Avalon which is basically the same car just different body and the reliability is 100% . My dad has Camry like yours but the valve stem seals perished and burns oil. Blows lot of smoke
Shaun Cartledge yeah mum's got an Avalon pretty much same car! And yeah that's unfortunate :'(
For your back shocks I've used a tool that goes between the coil springs that will stop the scrubbings
Bought a 94 for a 1000, drove to canberra and back from Cairns for the freedom rally 12 Feb, 2022. Averaged 7.93 litres / 100ks. With 3 people and ac on. Mightily impressed!
Got a 2002 v6 camry, MAN THOSE STRUTS WERE BAD
I got a 1997 Camry le with the 1mzfe 3.0 v6 and I love this car, almost 180000 miles, planing to get a muffler and obx headers soon
Just bought a 99 Camry 140k miles i love it so far super reliable
2GR-FE's a good engine, but it's not a matter of just taking an engine out and putting another in, you're likely going to need to deal with your ECU, and get a 6 speed transmission with it.
Fun fact these were almost as fast as the 2004 year model ford mustang GT. And from 90 to 130 at the rev limiter they actually pull on the mustangs. Don’t ask me how I know 😂
I have a 2002 Rav4 and it's 17 years old and still going strong. Extremely reliable and super easy to fix as well. The Camry, Corolla, and Rav4 are all based on the exactly same frame and engine design. After Toyota came out with the AWD Camry in 1991, Toyota knew they had put together a super reliable "tank." Eventually that 1991 Camry AWD became the Rav4. If you can find an early Rav4 with the 2.0 liter engine they are super reliable as the first gen. Rav4 have timing belts whereas the second gen. Rav4 use a timing chain. My Rav4 still even has the original exhaust pipes and windshield as well.
As well, the serpentine belt can be changed in about 3 hours for the average DIY mechanic. Not a lot of over-engineering and excessive electronics in the 2nd generation Rav4s.
Today's cars are just over-engineered pieces of junk that are meant to be disposable in 7~8 years.
I recently replaced my 1998 Camry LE V6 strut bushings due to the squeaking sound that can be irritating unless my radio is on. Now it's quiet and drives like a new car again!
I am in a hunt for one of this now, the last model 01 , currently have a B14 Sentral 1995 at 467k mileage . Getting small for kids
got a 95 Camry 24 years old and still running like a champ
Niko same I got a 95 Camry runs like a champ love it
6:05 I see u on dat league boi hahah
mojoflow ☁ ;)
Nice review, I have a 2001 4cylinder Camry with high fuel consumption, front sway bars got broken twice.
I have a 1996 Camry LE, had it for four years, don't want any other car, ever!
I got camry 98 LE but it's only a 4 cylinder i still love camry great car very realiable
Brian Paghubasan I have a 94 LE Same of 4 cylinders and it's a great car as well 💯 super reliable

Own a 98 Camry conquest, fantastic cars haha. Wanna start modding it when I can afford 😂
Hope your rego wasn't too expensive brahhh
It has been f-ing cold here lately too, I wish you warmth during these cold times
Sackulus Maximus haha thanks my dude ❤️
I have the same problem whit mine! Camrys have a problem whit the back suspension!!!
yeah i need to hammer in the fenders so no rub!
Rex H my guards are flatter than Katy Perry's breast hahaha 😂😂
Sorry for bother, but thats some factory quirks? Asking because i recently bough one and the back do some weird noises
I Have a 97 Camry XLE with 2014 Camry wheels and led wheel . Looks pretty nice I might say
I am much older than you but these 1998 to 2001 Toyota Camerys are extremely popular and there are plenty of them around thats why so cheap for a very good car they were made in Australia and by the way the mods you have done to your Camery very nice and l do like any Toyota and l own a 1997 Toyota Hilux myself so l am a fan boy
When you gonna tint your windows?
Can you please engine swap your Camry
Ive got a 1992 Camry SV21 executive wagon.Had it since 1994 and love it . Got the money to go buy a new muscle car if i want. Aint gunna happen, the Camry dies with me.
i have a blue 97 one with the 2.2 5S-FE engine. got it for 700$ 99% rust free! and only 215k kilometres
My 98 on 22s jet black, grey leather, 2 15 skar in the trunk, soon it will be turbo 4cyl
Only issues with my Camry is it’s basically a hovercraft on its 15” mags and stock suspension 😂 and the front bushings have just about kicked it in after 318,000kms of shitty roads
Omg you're at nearly 6k subs! Congratz man! I didnt even notice haha
I want one but people in my area want 3k for one with over 180k miles.
Ik Toyota's are pretty reliable but it's still just a car. Toyota's aren't magic.
jam boy i bought mine for 2400k with 220k miles and its still going strong
Totally worth it. It has at least 100k left in it assuming worst-case scenario. Usually these cars are good for 500k at least.
Mate hope u get to 1 mil. I’m starting to buy an 01 Camry 2.2L has a 5speed
This is funny I didnt find this channel till I got a camry gor a winter beater and I have an MR-S as well
Love seeing places I know if the background i have my own Camry but can't drive it yet but it'll be fun when I can get mine going around the mountain as I've seen you do aha
don’t forget we also have the wrong accent for the english language lolol
No such thing as the correct English accent.
yo tight rims my G you giving me some great ideals for my 97 camry but what I want is black and red rims I also plan to get my camry painted black and put in a built in gps touchscreen stereo etc I defintley have to get my front and backseats replaced soon
My 2003 Camry and mostly all my peoples that have owned Toyota’s in general for a long period of time all day the ONLY thing about Toyota vehicles is that they’re rust from the bottom. My 2003 that I have had for almost 2mths., I absolutely love it. Everything about it. Only issue on the car when I bought it was the rocker panels. Absolutely done for. 1 owner, paperwork for every oil change, all highway miles. Do you suggest any site to go and get any and every you need for ya Toyota vehicle. Just trying to make this comment shorter..
Could you or anyone else that wants to update and make your Toyota Camry siiiick, please drop some links. I have some that are good but please, I would appreciate. Thks.
This looks awesome. where did you buy the fog light strip?
Ughhh I just bought me a 2001 Toyota Camry, it worked for about 2 weeks. Now it won't start. I got a new fuel pump replaced and still no start. My next fix is spark plugs and coil but I seen so many reviews say that have had that fix and still same problem. I'm so scared to put more money into it
about to buy one, we shall see how it goes
The only problem I have with my 2000 Camry 2.2 is that the owner doesn’t have money to get more mods
Anyone else see another XV20 sitting in the background across the street when he is talking in the back seat?
For us Americans, could you explain the difference between "Conquest" and "Vienta" models? Are they trim levels? Do they affect performance? I'm very curious.
The Conquest is sort of mid range spec whereas the Vienta is closer to the Grande....Ive got a 98 Vienta and two Early 2000 Avalons...all V6 , so cheap to own and not bad to drive but not as nice as my BF Falcon ute
I'm buying one of these, just needs a paint job but I'd love to get the same rims but diffent setup for suspention
In the US we got weak trim names CE LE XLE 😭
1999 ce owner here
2000le owner here
1999 V6 XLE owner here. Fell in love with it
Don't buy an camry if you're not prepared to change the original valve cover gaskets. Not an easy job.
