Hey everyone whats going on.... Well recently ive replaced the sparks plugs at 110k and did the transmission filter at 100k. All is good so far. Let me mention however when replacing the plugs the clips that attached to the coil packs tend to get brittle from the heat, and tend to snap and or break... I hate all 4 of em break, i can use it with out the safety latch on it but still makes me nervous that it might cause a missfire or something perhaps ill get a new harness forthat one day. Just change the oil and cleaned the kn airfilter so shes good for another 4k... Toyotas are solid cars... Only thing ive noticed on this model or generation of car is the brakes tend to me soft and not that of sports car which is what im use to after driving a celica gts 6spd.. It could be just me.

Next will be new shoes from the drums and going to go slotted vented and drilled for the front rotors with some better ceramic brakes. Other than that this car is a daily driver no problems what so ever. Other than a lot of wear an tear on a brand new car that was designed to outlast the competition :P honduh!

Yeah, changing the rotors to the slotted/cross-drilled variety will definitely get rid of that typical Camry softness. You can even pick up some Brembo rotors for it for around $150. As far as pads, I would use either Hawk, green-stuff/red-stuff or Akebono pads. Good luck!
