Here is a little history on the car, I bought it from a friend named Jeff up in Toronto in April 2005, he had spent a better part of his adult life working on the car, including the 5 speed swap, custom Spectra Blue Mica paint, redone custom blue/black interior - the car used to be a gold with tan interior... You can look below at the mods list, but I cannot speak highly enough of the work that Jeff put into the car, it was just his time to sell and thus i picked up the car and I have now turbo-charged it with the help of Carl @ speed-source (www.speed-source.net) I am going to continue to take the car further, for now here is the mods list...

Some Personal highlights of my own...

This is the only gen3 camry i have ever seen in spectrabluemica paint, the interior is a 1 of 1 production also

I now have a carbon fiber trunk for the car - i believe only 15 exist in the world

The 5s-fTE camry is very rare, you will not see many turbo camry's anywhere you go... this is a special project to me

I <3 my TRD steering wheel

Here are some pics... the car has had a few different sets of wheels, but the 5Zigens are here to stay now, i will update exterior and interior shots when time permits...

UPDATE! new rotors real quick...

Body and Interior Shots

And now how about some pics of the turbo and the turbo instal progess...

At this point... you can see little was done

Here were some test fit ups...

If you look, we had to chop off the WGA and move it around the coolant lines, thus now the stock WG setting is ~ 5psi - a little safe for daily driving

Now you can see the custom downpipe take form - it took carl about 4-5 hours to complete, but it is very very impressive in person

Here are the oil line tests...

Here are all of the custom intercooler pipes... a speed-source one-off :)

now we can get some more stuff bolted up...

And now... the finished product :)

I am running the car @ 5psi now... i will probably bump up to 8 when i am @ the track or on the dyno, once i get my new injectors... here is the dyno sheet to prove the work... ~ 160WHP @ 5psi... a big boost over a stock 100-110WHP :)

And so that is the project current stage... i am tired of uploading pics now - but once i get the CF trunk on, i will take a lot more body and interior shots... A REALLY BIG THANKS to Jeff for the great work, Carl @ Speed-source for all of the custom work and instal, and then the buddies @ toyotanation.com and mr2oc.com who help out with those questions i develop... any questions for me, throw me an e-mail @ nrich3@gmail.com or IM me @ TeamHamster311
