A track m3 is a very achievable goal but honestly, I rather get this thing road worthy and proper. I have a good connect with a body/paint shop and I can do all the suspension/motor installation work myself.

    I am getting way ahead of myself but dammit, I will punch myself if I don't make good of this opportunity.
    I have that same camber kit but can't find anyone around where I live to weld it on. What's the benefit in your opinion?

      The ability to adjust camber and castor a few degrees, thus correcting both your stance when lowered so you don't experience camber wear, and the ability to run different setups for different purposes. If you plan on tracking your car or autocross, it might be a good idea to adjust or readjust your rear camber to allow for the greatest tire surface area contact with the pavement during aggressive cornering. It's also a good idea to reinforce mounting points on both the subframe and the trailing arms, especially if big power is in your future.

      This is all in theory of course. I have yet to install these parts myself.

          Quite true, sir. A little redundant, but true.

            How did you guys find this car in someones backyard?


            "The Camry is an appliance, not a car. It attracts folks who have the same regard for driving that they have for washing dishes,
            i.e. it's a necessary but somewhat unpleasant chore and they want something to make the task a little easier and insulate them from the process."

                          Okay, it seems a friend of "M3justis" in Sac has bought the car. Looks like it's going to be restored.
