^ The Camry/ES300 is not a common car at all where he is, like most of Europe. Bigger cars liek that are rare unfortunatley. :(

I'll hook him up when the time comes. I already talked to hi.

I live 50km from Amsterdam and if i want to test my Camry i drive 100km to Germany.....there is no speed limit ...who is laughing now :wink: 8)



Thanks Adam.


@Gibson99

In Europe we have a completely different range of cars.

After 2003, Toyota stopped selling the Camry in Europe and we get our own type of cars. for example the Avensis (is the biggest Toyota...smaller then the Camry):
http://www.toyota.nl/cars/new_cars/avensis/index.aspx

here you can see more....the Auris is also build for Europe http://www.toyota.nl/

Here they say...
If you want to drive big, buy a Audi/BMW/Mercedes/VW
And if you want drive small you buy a Japanese car.
if you want a big Toyota buy a Lexus.

Best side of the story..every one is very impressed when they see my Camry and want to know more about TRD etc..

I would love to go to Amsterdam!!! 8) My next vacation will be there.
With all the money I save on parts, I can afford to go to the track. :D
All joking aside, with that 30% mark up on parts they let you drive as fast as ya want.
So in the end it all works out. 8)

I was just looking around on a dutch Ebay site and found these rare items:
http://link.marktplaats.nl/275010777

These were the official (4pot front + 2pot rear) caliper upgrade for a Toyota Supra.
What is the chance this will fit our Camry/Solara.

Will it help to do a test fit on the Ericsol relocate brackets or will this not proof a thing?

fronts wont work, one leg is shorter.

A custom bracket would have to be made for it to work on our cars.

The rears might work though!
Geeks get it done, while Nerds whimper and call for mommie.
