1996 Toyota Camry "Yotato" XV10 | Walkaround

[@jellyroll5247]

Have a 96 Camry daily driver with 217k. Smooth as silk and simple to maintain. Mint and cold ac. Some of the best vehicles Toyota ever made.

[@projectyotato]

Absolutely one of the best! They built it to grab market share to compete with the Accord and the Taurus- Toyota made very little profit off this gen Camry specifically, because it was built to Lexus standards and priced as a slightly larger Corolla. Outsold its competitors ever since.

[@Maplecook]

My 97 Celica has the same engine (5S-FE) and has 310,000 on the clock...but she hit a snag last year. Apparently, Toyota had a batch of bad capacitors that go bad after 26 years (instead of 60). This caused my car to quit all over the place, and it took over a year to finally catch the gremlin. Welp, at least in the meantime, my buddy and I changed just about every other part, so she's not only running like new, in large part, she IS a new car again. lol

[@Jeremy_Hill_2020]

I instantly recognized your Camry from the 3rd gen/4th gen Camry group on Facebook lol I used to own a '95 Camry XLE & now have a '96 Corolla DX

[@LeSpank1012]

That's pretty cool dude. Own a XV10 2.2 GX with 350k miles on it, still smooth and without problem. desperately needs a paint job but i'm broke haha. Found your video while looking for headlamps. Gonna slowly do it up

[@nickaa827]

Love the whiteline sway bar, have it in my Solara and the difference in handling is really notable

[@relleck2036]

Nice camry man, I just inherited a 96 camry from my father when he passed away. I want to make it mint b/c he loved the car to death, these are great cars. I want that rear center csi panel I cant find it anywhere lol.

[@projectyotato]

Sorry about your father, I can't even imagine. I'm sure he's love that you're gonna take care of his Camry. You're not going to find a CSi rear panel without finding an Australian Camry enthusiast who will source one for you. If you've got Facebook, join our 3rd & 4th Gen Camry Krew group and ask around. Someone will be able to ship one to you. If you don't like Facebook, you can try Reddit, but our Krew is going to be your best bet. Super awesome community for these cars!

[@paladain55]

Nice car. The simplicity of these are sweet. I have a gen 3 prius and over 150k they get to be maintenance queens. Would rather have one of these tbh. I think overall cost of ownership over 400k is less with these lol

[@projectyotato]

Awesome reliable cars, I know some guys with well over 400k miles on these!

[@toyotacamry1239]

very pretty car that can run forever if u keep eye on oil level and change it regularly i have 92 love it

[@projectyotato]

I've got another oil leak I gotta fix soon lol

[@projectyotato]

@@toyotacamry1239 was the valve cover (again). Turns out piston 1 was sending half its compression into the crankcase due to a bad ring, engine is currently being rebuilt. Might make some videos on it soon.

Cheers from Australia, have a 94 csi with only 120,000 miles.

[@simmcowaPang122]

Nice! I got a blacked out 94 on steelies with a sweet stereo with two 10" infinity reference which I thought was funny lol. Makes me want to do a walk around

[@jackstraw6636]

Nice car!! We had a 96 forever, now ive got a 94 wagon 240k finally rusted out, just bought another 94 wagon v6 dark green from Texas no rust really nice car but doesn't run right so Im looking at another 94 wagon to use for parts.. after i drive it all winter.. In Vermont where im at it helps to have spare parts lol.

[@tinhatrancher904]

Great car. Excellent mods. My buddy has the same car also a 96 in gold. I just detailed it. He's getting ready to sell since used car market is red hot in desert southwest. These cars run so well. Super reliable especially with the 2.2 liter four cylinder. What size tires on your 17x9 wheels? Thank you

[@projectyotato]

Thank you! These cars really are the best! The tires are 235/45R17

[@kippaseo8027]

I like those custom blinds on the back window there. I would definitely consider looking F-14 my Camry. I have a 2000 Camry with 448 K miles. I also live where the sun eat the fuck out of your interior ( Miami Beach) and dark window tint ( like I have) doesn't cut it.

[@projectyotato]

A lot of people source the Aussie spec rear louvres, but I prefer the custom blinds so I can have a rear spoiler and window stickers lol

[@_BusterHighmen]

That engine cowl/shroud you got from the “SE” looks awesome. I need to find one too!

[@projectyotato]

Frequent your local scrapyards, you're likely to eventually find one, and they'll sell it way cheaper than anyone on FB or in any Camry groups will.

[@ynamlydostluk1042]

Hello bro how many liter fuel take for 100 km in the city thank you

[@Geckosmaintenance]

what size tires does it have?

[@SpartanDecres1007]

Pretty cool car

[@projectyotato]

Thanks!

[@charliegistmusic]

I got a 94 coupe.

[@aaronstephens8890]

My '99 camry V6 has 235k miles and runs fantastic

[@projectyotato]

I have that same engine in my 205k mile 97 Avalon and it too still runs great!

[@isiahemerson980]

[@emmanuelgarcia2092]

Where did you get your headlights? I have a car the same and I'm looking for headlights the same as yours. I would appreciate it if you could answer me.

[@projectyotato]

They are Depo Black Diamond assemblies, they are discontinued, but you may get lucky if you join all the Camry groups and hunt ebay and scrapyards.

[@charliesilveria1998]

Do you think the strut brace would fit on a 95 Avalon?

[@projectyotato]

Highly likely, as its the same chassis. I also own a 97 Avalon, so I can test fit it and get back to you. I reckon it will fit the tops of the struts, but might not clear the top of the 1mz. A brace from a Solara might be a better fit, because that car also came with a 1mz and a stock strut brace

[@kenjenkillasounds]

Follow you on the gram for a minute never knew you had a youtube channel(onlyhfe) this Gen 3 always been super clean!

[@hokulea2122]

hello, can you link the rack & bars?

I just got a 92 Almond Biege "Pearl"....139k.....it is all original cherry.....Im 68 yrs old....my first yotato

[@jvogler_art4708]

I wish you stood al little further back from the car. Can't see it.

[@projectyotato]

Yeah; I realize this walkaround was pretty mediocre, apologies for that. Might do another one once the car is running again!

[@nnudx]

do you still have this car .. i can show you how to do a short shifter

[@jpalacess4735]

yoo i got a 95 and its hard to find em clear lights where you got yours maybe i can get me some for my 95 dx camry

[@projectyotato]

They are discontinued and super hard to find. A set recently sold among our Camry Krew group and the bid went up to $500

[@garyliew2790]

Where can find the window trim, it's hard to find now 😢

[@projectyotato]

which trim exactly are you referring to?

[@MrSdotbowman]

I recognize this from the 3rd/4th gen group.

[@eightballah]

id replace those power cables on the amp bro... should be waaay thicker, some ppl already burned their cars down like that...

Plenty big for my setup. I'm only running a single channel low power amp from the 90s. Been running this system for years.

Uh, good question... I'm not sure. My grandmother got the stock antenna stuck on a garage door and ripped the thing out ages ago and this is the antenna it's had for the past like 9 years. Not sure what it is, but I love the way it pokes out to the side all goofy like lol
