    Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"

      Maybe some foam material between the seat and floorboard might fix the squeak?

      Buuut you'll have to find the errant screw inside the dashboard to stop that rattle... not something most mechanics would consider worth disassembling the dashboard for

      @Hyaenidae Yeah that's the issue, but it is so loud dude, no point in me spending so much on the suspension and related tit bits if the car dashboard is just rattling like a jackhammer, so frustrating.

    I woke up one day and I now want to buy a W140. The brain works in mysterious ways. It definitely doesn't understand the concept of money since I am nowhere near affording one.

      Thats going to burn a huge hole in your pocket. Its true you get too tempted when you find it difficult to save some money. I am drawn towards model cars, RC and watches... very expensive stuff nowadays.

      @Gummybr yessir, I made a decent return on some crypto but then I saw some Omega Speedmasters on Chrono24 and hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Got the car tinted after a very long time. CoolMate branded at Bara Stereos since 3M is too expensive but it came with a 5 year warranty. 30% Visible Light Transmission on all Windows + Windscreen, makes a noticeable difference in the temperature of the leather seats after a hot day

      @matroska haha you bet, not sure if I want to sell the Camry, but I kinda want to see what the other side of reliability has to offer, regardless of any car I get its only going to be a weekend toy since my 9-5 is WFH

      Buy an old hacked (which is what most of them are underneath the shiny clearcoat) german or any other euro for the matter and you will soon be on your knees for that camry again. 

      Try to get a project without selling the Camry.

      @AVANTE makes sense, just means it'll take a bit longer for the capital to come around but should be worth it :D

    Is It even an old Yota if it's not burning a bit of oil?
  6. MaleCortana
    Quite possibly!, I also definitely have a slightly heavier foot which might account for the extra 40 kilos

    AC line developed a small leak near a O-Ring, got it replaced and serviced at Deep Freeze on 18/10/2023

    Camry cools a bit too much on the highway o.0 should I be concerned?

    If the temperature scale is from 0-100, normal/spirited driving means the temperature is at 45%, little below half, but I was cruising on the highway and it drops to like 25-30%

      Most big boy toys kinda dip under half on highways or long cruises. And you Toyota fellas are trying to create trouble. * Cries in Alfa Romeo 156 *

    Can confirm 2002 onwards Camry's are bulletproof, but yeah for a daily you might be spending quite a bit on fuel.

    This rounds up my real world testing of the Camry's fuel consumption for a 2AZFE (2.4) Extra Urban Spirited Driving - 6kmpl - (Giving it the full beans in the dead hours of the nights) Extra Urban Driving - 7.5kmpl - Inner Colombo Driving Urban Driving - 8.5kmpl - Colombo-Battaramulla-Malabe (low traffic, if traffic see the Extra Urban figures) Highway Average - 14kmpl

    Took the Camry out on the highway finally (If I go down south I usually go with friends in their vehicles) after 3 years of ownership. Pumped full tank on both ends of the highway to check consumption at different speeds. As follows; with average speeds and rpm. 16kmpl - 90 - 110kmph - 1900RPM 13kmpl - 120-140kmph - 2300RPM
