well it isn't anything super yet, its just a pet name that stuck with my faithful SV21 Camry. exterior mods so far include king lowered springs which dropped it over 2 inches to the perfect legal height - 101mm with 4 adult passengers. TSW Fly 17x7 inch rims came next and they fit perfectly, orange racing stripes to go with the GT racer look and a few stickers which correspond to certain manufacturers parts on the vehicle - I'm also told they add about 10kw at the wheels each!!! currently I'm am redoing the entire interior with new trim detailing and new carpet and while I'm at it i am completely rewiring the stereo and neon interior lighting. performance mods are few for now, the pod filter and high flow cat are there for now and increase engine response quite well but i have plans for much much more. dreams include a ST205 GT4 3SGTE transplant and a new body kit and paint. the pics are posted on another site so to save time just go to http://supercamry.boostcruising.com and check it out. let me know on this forum what you think. criticism or praise. i wanted to do the SV21 Camry because i like the shape and it stands out. you don't see to many Camry's in Australia with racing stripes... cheers.

That's sooooo cool dude!!!!
I have an SV21 aswel. It still has the stock engine in it, but i put a hi-flow 2" system on it, all the way back from the headers to the muff. It gained about 15KWs at the fly-wheel!!
I also have King springs and Monroe shocks, lowered bout 2inches
U ROCK man! Good on u for doing up the Camry 
I havent put a pod on yet... did it make much difference to ur camry?? I'm also having issues wit the Air Flow Meter (AFM).... it's a stupid design  There's this dumb flap which cuts off almost completely the flow of air when the trottle is moved off idle.....
SEE "air flow meter upgrade...... " in the tec forum.
I got mine dynoed... the evidence is there!
Any suggestions or hints for me? seeing as u may have done some stuff i havent......
PS
which iol do u use? I use the Magnatech from castrol, and Moble1 in mine.

when i put the pod on, the first thing i noticed was the engine was heaps more responsive and even though mine doesnt have any exhaust work aside from the cat, it sounds fantastic. it gives a really 'rorty' kind of rumble noise from under the bonnet on full throttle. unfortunatelly, the under bonnet temperature with a SV21 is quite high, and untill i partitioned the filter off from the rest of the engine bay all it was sucking was hot air. it didnt seem to bother it to much, but it runs much better with the partition. i never had any problems with my airflow metre so i cant help you with that one... as for colour coding, im going to paint all the pillars on the doors gloss black so it looks like one big piece of glass down each side and should give the illusion that its pillarless. and i took my front mud flaps off and the back ones are alot shorter than standard cause i really dont like mudflaps.

Hey where and how much did u get ur wheels for/from??
I was thinking of getting some myself but only 15's cuz i dnt want such a hard ride or to pay 2 much 4 rubber...... I like my P6000's they are MAD tyres Whats the stud pattern BTW, i never was sure... duh it's 5 studs tho  I saw sets for $900 to $2000 first hand and $500 to $1000 2nd hand. Sound right??
Have u had any troubble with the strut supports for the suspenssion?? both front and back on the drivers side are gone... they rattle like nothing else!! the back 1 cost me $150 just for the part but i think the front is more cuz it has camber adjustments aswell......
