    the 2.2 is a lazy motor that pulls hard from idle to about 932rpm then runs out of breath anywhere after.

          What does the Camry need? They are good cars and I actually like them. 

          I would love to know, as I have no idea but When shifting the car from Park to Drive or park to reverse there is a clunk/chunk when it switches not in the shifter but under the hood. but it goes into those gears so transfer case? bad trans? shift sensor?

          who knows.

          hooray for another Camry driver.  Suffer in agony with me.

          1993toyotacamry4drdxsedan-pic-5134

          Quite possibly one of the most reliable cars ever made.

          Quite possibly the worst car for an enthusiast to drive.

          Somebody please hit me this winter. I yearn for something more enjoyable, because waiting for this car to break and stop running on its own is going to take far far too long. 

          also, if that is not a v6 camry, then I will have to question the sanity of the sick soul that fitted it with urban racing attire.

          the 2.2 is a lazy motor that pulls hard from idle to about 932rpm then runs out of breath anywhere after. 

          It is a 2.2l and some kid from Janesville did the BECAUSE RACECAR  to this (i got this car when i was 16..)6.5 Years ago.

            sounds like transmission mount buddy. You have to lift the whole motor up off the engine cradle or pound out the studs on it lol what a pain.

                        good good,  because the second you start posting stuff like this

                        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94yrZ0H-vzQ

                        your man-card, your credit card, and your Menards Big Cards will all be revoked.

                        Warning,   your IQ and faith in humanity will suffer if you read the comments in videos like that.

                          Speaking of sweet 2.2's I just picked up a winter car last night. Stay tuned for the unveiling!

                          I did manage to save big money too!

                            Those cars will NOT die! As much as you want it to! My x gf's car blew the timing belt at 200k on her 2.2L. I thought it was finally done... NO! I put a timing belt on for 30 bucks and it runs fine! God Dammit!

                                I did the timing belt on mine as well. Im sure the small-handed Japanese engineers thought there was a crap-load of space between the side of the engine and the sheetmetal but my man-hands disagreed.

                                          I just picked up another E28. Gunna be the winter beater for a bit, then it's getting torn apart in spring and parted out.

                                          1385569101516932168317111104865754n.j

                                          1986 535i 5spd. Power seats, black leather seats, new tires, limited slip. Should do decent!
