Anyways, my brakes are literally totally gone on the Camry. I can't stop anymore, I have to literally use my handbrake to help my car stop... I guess I'll HAVE to change them tomorrow...

It's nearing 60k miles and the brakes were never changed even once... and God knows how long it's been since the oil was changed. The spark plugs, air filter, coolant, and pretty much everything that requires maintenance haven't been touched until I got the car... That tells you how bad the previous owner was... well, at least I got it for cheap.

Yep, you can go 30k miles without an oil change and 60k without changing out spark plugs and still get fantastic gas mileage.

I can't wait to get another 8! It must be white though.

Because they are the best for aesthetics.

Example: White + CF hood + CF trunk + Springs = Pure sex.
Example 2: White reflects light so it goes faster than Velocity Red.

I want to find a cheap inexpensive white 8, it doesn't matter what mileage is on it (I do my own rebuilds ) so that I still have left over cash for mods.

My first mod will be springs (coilovers in the future).
Second mod will be CF hood and trunk.
Third would be to vinyl my roof black to get that Panda look.
And then finally rims, and I'll hold off for a bit before I start on the performance mods.

And the Second wheel is TR motorsports JWL certification and VIA certification which also weigh 18.5 lbs.?? I wanted to get the WEDSPORT but I cant find them online!!! If someone can find their site, let me know...so what you guys think? I really like the SSR's superlightweight+ sexy as hell+even nicer with a drop...

Zumn: If you need help choosing rims - let me know - i can suggest a shat load of wheels with good specs

my suggestion would be to aim for wheels close to these specs:

18x9 +30
18x9.5 +35
18x10 +45
19x9 +35
19x9.5 +40
19x10 +45
