New from Honolulu...
Hello Everyone,
I just picked up a 2000 Solara here in Hawaii...116K on the odometer, but luckily, the owner has a shop...he just redid the timing belt, water pump, all seals and gaskets to include front suspension and steering components...the car rides like it's new. To boot, it is a 5sp V6...clutch is fine.
The car does need a few things...immediate upcoming mods will be:
Alpine Double Din (IVA-W205, Blackbird II, Bluetooth integration)
New Wheels (currently it has 16x7 Acura RSX wheels with Federal SS595 205/55/16)...I'm thinking about picking up some 17" Lexus IS Rims w/225/45/17 tires...
Future Mods:
Short Shift Kit
Rear Swaybar
Lowering Springs (not slamming...just want to lower it a bit)
The only thing missing from the car is the subframe structure behind the lower front console area to include the support brackets for the ashtray and the two cigarette lighters. If anyone has an extra set laying around, please email me...I need the cigarette lighters for my kids devices...ok ok, my devices...heh heh.
I can be contacted at:

Thanks and looking forward to learning and sharing info with you all.
