Hey all,
A little bit about me (you can skip to the next paragraph if you don't care about my life lol):
First of all i would say that there's a lot of good and helpful people around this foru. I have found many information i needed eventhough there's a lot I don't understand (I'm a car beginner noob lol). I live in Montreal, Canada and I'm 19 years old, this is my second car (i owned a honda accord coupe 99' and I just sold it). Unlike some other kids these days (no offense), I do not ask money from my parents. I work part time at a customer service center during school years and full time (diff jobs) during summertime. I earned my first and second car all by myself and i'm proud of that, eventhough i'm broke now. I played football since I was young and recently stopped to concentrate on school. I'm 6ft0 and weigh 220 lbs with 9-10% bodyfat. LOL I just realised that this sounds like an NFL draft perspect review lol sorry about that
Also what's unique about me is I'm of Chinese/Cambodian descendant and my girlfriend is Black (Haitian descendant). We've been together for a year and half now and we've known each other for over 7 years. I know this kind of relationship is rare and yes, ppl turn their heads on the street and I don't care what people say/think, but almost none hates, most of the ppl appreciate
Now here's the interesting part lol
About the car:
I'm registered since november 09 to consult and I think i read almost every thread on this forum lol so I'm a big@ss lurker untill a week ago, I finally bought the car I wanted: 1999 black solara V6 5 speed manual transmission with leather interior!! Since there's only 200 manual Solaras in Canada, it was very very very hard to find the car I wanted. Mine has almost 95k miles and it's bone stock (fully loaded tough). I paid 5400$ in total (as US/CAN dollars are about the same, do you guys think it's a good deal? I think it's an OK deal and appropriate deal). It has only 2 previous owner with the last one who drove the car for a year. The last owner is selling the car because he lost his licence for speeding. I KNOW that he floored the car alot but the car comes with a warranty from him (6 months left) which he paid 2000$. The car is very smooth and comfortable but the only problem is when i let off the wheel, if turns leftwards.
I'll make an alignment first and hope it will fix that problem. Then change the oil to full synthetic after seafoaming. Then, I don't know what to do:P
Maybe get HID's first, put some wheels, then exhaust and a CAI and a wax/compound. I won't drop the car cuz i'm planning on driving it during wintertime, as in Montreal it snows alot.
Any other suggestions are deeply appreciated!
Anyways, here's some pics:
