m new and have been following nairaland for a while(I love the website and all nairaland era including trolls!!!)...Been out of the country n every Opportunity I had, I visited any n every car show I could..I wish Nigerians could have a go at the Modified/Import/Tuned car scene by having Proper Aftermarket Fabricators Bodykit and engine tuning(Hopefully we would get there).

I had a boring camry (yes boring cos it looked so externally) so decided to play wit it...

Point of the thread is for us Nairalanders to post pictures of any and every modification u've done to your car that makes it different from stock....here's mine n a list of wat I've done to it

17 inch copy rims with 225/50/17 Michelin
DIY black house headlights
Carbon Fiber roof vinyl (ordered)
Led daytime running lights (ordered)
Bumper lip
Mesh Front Grille
Rear dove tail spoiler

Hey, nice pictures,
what's the rooftop, carbon fiber? I m not a good fan of exterior mods...heard tales about 'ricers'
Re: Your Modified Camry ' S - Any Model by Jacksolo4me(m): 12:34am On Jul 21, 2014
Yeah its a carbon fiber vinyl I had in with some of the stuffs I order ...thanks sir.glad u liked d pics.

No "ricer" crap here..neon lights, crappy bodykit n cheap China knockoff stuff..Just keeping it simple...

Don't want it being just a head Turner but at least da term "hey nice ride"...

Most of it I did myself.and trust me...u won't believe it on how cheap it is doing it yourself after digging in n researching for da look one desires.

ivoryhouse: Thats a great looking camry. Did you modify the engine?

Thank you sir!.

Not yet...but be sure come September it would be running a Takeda Cold Air Intake and a 2.5 inch Exhaust...

Am looking to swap in an intake manifold of one of Toyota ' s TRD headers

I am not sure how practical it would be to drop a camry this low for regular use on Nigerian roads though..

Definitely not sir!...only very few places and the car would be confined to those areas...

The condition of Naija roads in our major cities where cars like this are suppose to strive well at is just sad.

Instead of coil overs, hydraulics is the way to go for Nigerian roads.

Then you'll be able to adjust the height as needed while driving.

Yes sir,the practicality of raising and lowering ones ride height at the push of a button is comfortable. Some of our roads are just plain undrivable

My opinion would still be the Coilovers over Hydraulics--Cost wise; adjustable damping, toe, and Height although done with the driver out angry

And of course the handling is way better(from a performance standpoint though)

Look at the Range Rover system, it does all of that on motion without changing the specs.

All you would need to do is decide your optimum ride height, then adjust your alignment for that.

So when you raise or lower your car it will change the alignment temporarily but as soon as practical you will return to your preset optimum setting.

No pain no gain.

Some pics attached to elaborate, not my cars but I took them at some car show. I'm into classics and only daily drive modern cars for convenience.

Just a lowly C23K. I did have a C43 but seller lied and it had a salvage title so I sold it after a few months. Been chasing after another one for ever.
Re: Your Modified Camry ' S - Any Model by Nobody: 10:26am On Jul 23, 2014
OP, additionally but I think you're looking at this hydraulic and coil over as one or the other.

You can have both now together on the same unit.

I'm afraid to post a link due to the accursed spambot that bans me whenever I post alink (or is it - hmmmm - cough lomo cough mike cough grin)

"KW HLS (Hydraulic Lift System)

The HLS provides additional road clearance for lowered vehicles. When expanded, a range of up to 45 mm of lift is produced, thereby helping sport cars avoid road clearance difficulties such as speed bumps, road construction, etc. KW HLS is available as vehicle specific solution or individual conversion kit depending on the car model.

HLS is available in two different versions: HLS 2 which is fitted to the front axle and HLS 4 which can be attached to the front and rear axle and allows lifting the entire vehicle. The hydraulic cylinder unit is located on the coilover body between spring perch and spring. The advantage of a hydraulic system is that there is no compression (motion) of the extended cylinder unit (resulting in no unwanted additional suspension movement) while driving.
Allows cars with low ground clearance to clear obstacles more easily
Available as complete kit including KW coilover kit or as conversion kit
Can be activated from inside the vehicle via a LED position control switch or
by an optional remote, thereby eliminating any need for interior wiring.
Can be activated while driving (up to 50 mph)
Fast lifting – maximum lift occurs within 4-5 seconds when using HLS 2
High-quality cylinder unit with durable aluminum construction
Sealed unit for corrosion and dirt resistance
Depending on the car type and model, KW HLS is either available as a vehicle-specific solution or as a conversion kit for KW or OEM coilover kits. KW HLS kit may utilize existing springs, or provide springs (depending on application) all associated hardware, hydraulic cylinder and control unit."

Sir, u could probably order it in on ebay or have someone abroad - states or in da UK to order it in for you.

Or u could go the DIY route if you're pretty handy with your hands...

YouTube should help with many videos on how to have a black house headlight and an led strip connected.
