1990 Toyota Camry CSX from Australia and New Zealand
Previous Next
A great practical open road performer
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car it was incredibly in need of some serious TLC and due its high kms it has had many problems:
2 broken windscreens.
Blown head gasket after 330,000kms, engine replaced with a higher output RAV 4 engine.
Oil leak.
Broken gas stays.
Seizing throttle pedal.
Front shocks are stuffed.
Rear suspension bushes needed replacing.
Anti-sway bar came loose.
General comments?
Even after many problems, I think the car is totally comfortable on long trips, lots of room for passengers and luggage, and with plenty balls to drag off boy racers.
But the controls are very straight-forward and it tends to handle like a truck sometimes. Though my car is very quick I reckon, cause I've pulled a 180kph run and it does mean handbrake turns.

Performance/handling / reliability
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has had alternator, idler pulley, and water pump replaced. Also the frond and rear suspension was upgraded to FE2 with urethane bushes. performance was enhanced by a sports exhaust, cold air intake and power chip!
General comments?
The car handled and performed excellent with these modifications. 215/65/15 tyres, directional are a must if you need traction and cornering at speed. Seats have a problem twisting and can be fixed by placing washers underneath rear center seat mount. Keep these vehicles serviced well and you will be rewarded with excellent reliabily! My Vn has been punished, but has been looked after and my friend is getting a great run out of it still!
