Hello, I am only 17 and am about to get my first car. It's a dark blue 99 or 00 (not sure) Solara. Unfortunatly it has an auto transmission and, I think it's V6. I don't really know details because I'm getting it from my uncle, but it's in perfect condition.

At first I was kinda dissapointed that I would be getting the solara, since I always dreamed of an RX-7. That all changed after visiting this site, now I can't wait to get the solara and mod the heck out of it

. However I am quite confused and overwhelmed with what to buy first. Once I have the car, I will have a buget of only around $1000 for mods. To start with I am looking to make it sound loud and mean and get either a performance upgrade or a body kit. Any advice on what to purchase and where to purchase it would be greatly appreciated.

welcome!dont worry, the automatic isnt that bad. and i could be wrong but the dark blue is a rare color on solaras.... post some pix of it. if theres one thing we solaraguy member cant get enough of its pictures! some lowering springs and a set of nice wheels and tires would be a good start. maybe some tint too!

Arn't wheels and tires $1000 alone? Also what would make it sound better, exhaust kit?

by **SolaraBlue** » Thu May 04, 2006 5:27 pm

a cat-back exhaust ( Greddy, Apexi, etc..) with an injen cold air intake or cp-e intake would sound nice.

wow I didn't know cold air intake would make it sound different.
I can't seem to find any CAI for the solara though only short ram
also I live in L.A., where do you guys reccomend to buy parts and get them installed

welcome to the site, to get the best results I'd go for suspension first. Then grab a cold air intake for some aggressive sound and a little boost in performance. From there see what cash you have left and let us know how it turns out.

welcome

thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I wont be getting the car for probably another 2 or 3 weeks so I can't put up pics until then.

Problem is I still can't find a good place to buy parts for the solara, I havn't found anywhere that has a cold air intake for solaras either. Where can I find these?
