New Guy w/ '07 V6 SE Sport Convertible in Austin, TX
by ATXguy » Sun Jan 17, 2010 10:39 am
HI - I AM NEW HERE AND MY PHONE NUMBER IS (512) 555-5555. THEY CALL ME THE CRUSIER. (lol, Jk! 
)
I have recently defected from the Honda/Acura camp and picked up a 2007 Blizzard Pearl Solara SE Sport with 21k miles to use a a daily driver. It was literally driven by a retired [old] lady in a central TX golf/retirement community. I must say I have been lurking about as I did research on buying a Solara. This board is an excellent resource for Solaras, no doubt!
As most people on this board, I am excited to jump into some mods to TRD-up and give my Solara a bit more agressiveness and sportiness. Having just dropped a good bit of cash to acquire the car, I will need to priortize my mod purchases. My first mod's will focus on cosmetics/handling, and will expand later into performance (intake/exhaust).
Considering:
Phase 1
• Paint for Calipers - Duplicolor - High Performance Caliper Paint Kit in RED
• Lowering Springs - B&G Lowering Springs/SE Sport Struts [lifetime warranty] Front and Rear Drop: 1.4" | 1.4"
• Windscreen or Bar - Toyota Solara Convertible Windscreen - PT906-06041 or Mustang-like ‘Light Bar’ [if it will fit or installed without major work!]
• Air Intake Mod - DocJohns Mod (more air for ~$3)
• Bazooka Subwoofer - I already have this, but will need to see how to best install.
• Badges/Emblems - select TRD/Sport emblems. Grill, Dash?, Sides?, & Back
Phase 2
• Sway Bar [Front] - TRD Front Strut Tower Brace - PTR06-06041-01
• Sway Bar [Back] - TRD Rear Stabilizer Bar - PTR02-06041-01
• Wheel Spacers - Mild wheel spacers to widen the stance.
Phase 3
• Muffler - Toyota TRD Sport Muffler - PTR06-06040-25
• Intake - CPE MAFci™ System for Gen 2 Solara (3.3L) - Non-Tunable
Phase 4
• Upgrade Speaker - 6x9's all around.
• 8" Touchscreen Car PC = with Clearwire Mobile Broadband (4g/WiMax) for navigation, XM/Net radio, MP3 Jukebox, Internet browser, Movies, and more!
Let me know what you think. Looking for deals and advice on mods.
Peace!
