Just dropped off the daily driver ('96 Camry) to get an alignment. I replaced the suspension awhile back, took it to somewhere else to get an alignment, and they did a horrible job. But they did a horrible job mostly because I screwed up the installation of one of the shocks. I had it turned too much. So a month or so ago I fixed it, and now it is at a more reputable shop to get an alignment.

Next on the list is replace the exhaust back to stock. I have a horrible leak near the flex pipe (un-patchable), and now seems like a good time to get rid of the cat back exhaust with fart can.

Then I will put the stock air box back in, replace the plugs, plug wires, and fuel filter. The brakes are making a grinding sound from time to time as well. But the shop I dropped the car off at today looked at them a couple weeks back and said they looked fine. Could just be the material the pads are made of. I still stop fine, just sounds horrible from time to time.

Once I get all of that done, the car should be good to go.

I so badly want to do the Camry up like this when I get a new daily driver. Build the engine, re-do suspension, the whole works.

But the urge to import one of these in 7 years is greater.
