I have a Stock V6 SLE 2000 Solara Coupe. I am searching for some suggestions about how to upgrade my car for cheap... I'm on a budget. I have thought about Aftermarket intakes and some other things. Any suggestions that could increase the performance of my car without breaking my wallet?

Welcome to SG.org
Save up money and buy the right stuff.
Don't cheap out on parts for you car.
Only thing i would suggest gettin' from Ebay is:

1. TRD license plate frame.
2. White reverse glow gauges.
3. Carbon fiber gauge trim.
4. Headlights, or clear corners. [You can also add in the blacked out headlights and corner lights.
5. Renova grille.

I think that's about it.

Top Speed Run finished at 130 mph. :o
Too many modifcations for the signature.

Welcome. Really the only way to get much power out a Solara is to either spend alot of time, or alot of money. You can save money by buying used parts, or shopping on eBay, but make sure you don't buy junk parts. Junk parts usually result in bad results, as in you would be better off to sit on your cash :wink: .
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.
