My Family's Camry's, and Nana's Rolla.........

My family has a Camry addiction/fetish/obsession, whatever you want to call it. My mom has an '05 Camry LE 2AZ-FE, My dad has a '96 LE 5S-FE Wagon, and I have a '96 1MZ-FE XLE Sedan.

-JDM Tails (not the fake Ebay crap, real ones)
-Shaved some emblems
-Foot E-Brake to Hand E-Brake conversion
-Second Skin Autio sound deadening
-Green lights in car tastefully changed to White and Blue
-EGR Removal
-Hella Horns

My Nana's 1995 Corolla BASE model. NO OPTIONS AT ALL, haha. And a SeaFoam vid. This is a pic from last year, so it has ~1000 miles more now. 700 of the miles on the car are due to me borrowing it for a few days.

when did u drive the corolla during the meet
dam lotta smoke comin out the exhaust

It was after dinner after most people had left. I forgot the time though,

Nice camry collection lol. We got two in the house and my corolla. Well one is an ES but essentially its a camry. Too lazy to type out so look at sig lol.

^ I may be needing some pics of some stuff on the ES300 when you get the chance.

why was there white smoke coming from that corolla...

Sure cept one thing. Dont gotta digi cam anymore lol. We had one then my brother broke it so then we bought another this past black friday. My parents went on vacation and currently still are in India and someone jacked the digi cam. Id have to borrow one but I can get pics of anything you need.

I thought he posted that he used seafoam on it. Seafoam basically gets rid of all the junk and gunk inside the engine. I heard some good stories and some horror stories so I just stay away from the stuff because I dont now what will happen.

Yea, I noticed the Seafoam part but I never knew it did that, lol. And like you, ive heard the good and the bad stories associated with Seafoam.

Ive seen videos of seafoam where there is soo much smoke that you basically cant see anything. He drove around so he spread out the smoke so its hard to determine.

If I stayed in 1 spot, it would have been quite thicj smoke, haha.

I've now seafoamed 4 cars, only 1 had a problem, and it was due to my dad's MASSIVE lack of care for the car. 95k miles on the orginal spark plugs did not fair so well. Car would not start normally. Changed the plugs to new ones, and it started fine. So al in all, all 4 cars I have seafoamed had no issues CAUSED by the seafoam.

why use seafoam on the corolla?

it's practically new with that kind of mileage

I am the ONLY one to take it over 55mph, haha. So the 15k miles, is actually like it has a lot more. Luckily, last year, I was able to take it on a 460 mile dar trip hitting over 90mph at times. Needed it. Going to change the Valve Cover gasket next week, along with the fuel filter, and wash the engine. Changed the Cap, Rotor, Wires, and Plugs last month on it, and spent 5 hours cleaning the car.

if that much smoke came out that means it was ratioed properly, and you need to be careful becase it may cause internal engine damage on the cylinder walls, rings, and piston skirting. trust me i have done this before, make sure you diliute properly.

You don't delute seafoam when put right into the inatke. Just can;t put it in too fast or you can hydrolock the engine. I've done it many times now. Need to watch out when putting it in the crank though, and not to run it for too too long.

Going to change the Valve Cover gasket and fuel filter on it next week. Need to pack my tools,a nd hope the "tools" at the airport do not steal them.

you diliute when putting in the gas tank, is what i meant,as far as the intake goes ur really not suppose to put it into the intake unless its a carburetor engine. fuel injected have a differnt setup and amount injected into the engine, unless you insert it into a vaccum line.

^ Yeah, thats how I do it. I run it through the brake booster lines on car, which I have found to be the easiest way.

I think the can says an average of 1oz per gallon, but I forgot exactly. I usually just add the entire 16oz can when I fill my tank up (18.5g).

How well does the Second Skin Sound Deadening material work? My friend is gonna sound deaden his car and he's thinking about dynamat but I told him spray on ones are cheaper and just as effective. How much did it cost you?

www.secondskinaudio.com . I have a friend (not affiliated with the site, other then on the forums there) that ran some real tests, as he is an engineer. He compared the comperable SSA, Dynamat, and 2 other products in the same tests, and every time, he said the over cost/effectivness leader was SSA. And that is all he uses now. Dynamat is a good product, just more expensive. We actually had an entire thread on the forums there about it. Also, the forums have a place you can ask for opinions, or what product to use, and how mych you'll need for what application, etc, etc. even the company owner will post on the forum, which is great. But like I said, if you want a perfessionals oppinion on what is needed for what application, without a sales pitch, join the forums on the website there. They know a LOT more then I, as they have used a lot more of it.

Welcome. I remember you from TN.
And jesus, that is crazy low milage for a 12 year old car!

I'm driving it likely 700 miles in the next 2 weeks, need to open it up!
