For the first time that I can recall, bubble's advice is sound.

Save money by not doing mods and then buy a faster car.

take your sub and amp out of the boot, remove the rear seats and passenger seat, remove all sound deadening. Thats the only way, agrees with bubbles though sell and buy faster car

Trying to get power out of an f series engine is always goin to be hard and frustrating and u wont get much gains. However some of the basic things u can do r exhuast, CAI, better filter, maybe extractors? u already seem to have done half of them is the prob...Otherwise the money u put into the car tryin to make it faster is prob better off saving with for a future car because u will get better power gains per dollar if its spent on a nicer engine. Hope this is some help

If your car is bogging down off the line it could just be its lack of torque down low family cars r designed for better low end power and torque. Try more Revs off the line or your timing could be a bit out if its bogging down majorly.

trading post, the for sale section of these forums.
Be patient keep the camry for a year or two save money then spend up big on a bigger and better car.
I got my rona just on two years ago now, i have bought tyres shocks and springs for it and general maintenance and thats it, it now corners decently and being lighter and having cubes on it side would be a bit quicker than your camry but that another story.
Instead of wasting shitloads of money in the time i have had it, (modding a 22re is a hiding to nowhere)i opened an ING saving account and have been putting money in it monthly. MInd you i now work fulltime after finishing school don't no what your sitch is but money is pretty good for me atm.
I will be looking at getting a car around the 20 mark by the end of the year and will pay atleast half of this in cash.

i am currently still in high school, im in year 12 and have a part time job, ever since i was little my dad always told me i have to buy my own car, i had a holden gemini at first that was a bit better than the camry but the gemini had its day and was running out of rego and needed engineering certificates for the engine that was in it,so i sold the car and this chick came by my house, she was my mums friend but anyways she asked me if i wanted to buy the camry, she sold me the camry for only $800 and it has rego till next year feb. can a little and i mean really little crack in your window make you fail rego, the crack lookes like a spot that is how small it is, i was on a rocky road and yea i had to have fun started to slide and drift after i saw the spot.

audit reason being they wanted to see what the hell you did to make the car stay in such good condition after 400,000km+ ?

nah my nieghbour is my mechanic and his workshop got audited selecting ten at random of the last 50 checks he'd done, and i managed to be one of them.
The RTA guy said the car passed with flying colours and it was in great condition for age and kilmoters hehe.
