cold air intake

[blast]

i was wondrin if i could use the intake from a 2003 engine for the gen 2 solara?

I have not tried, but i would say no.
Gen 1, and 1.5 has different engine bay, and they have an opening to the driver-side wheelwell.

Gen 2 (I don't know about 2.5) does not have the opening, and won't be able to access without cutting involved.

however, there is an opening under battery, and you can run 3" pipe to behind of the fog lights.

i have made a pipe for Gen 2, 4 cyl at local welding shop, and it is working great.
if you have 4 cyl, i can send a dimension of the pipe.
but for V6, you need to find a way to run a pipe.

let me know if i can be any help.

Dood a couple trips to the Search function would answer your Q's.

For the lights, see this sticky (1st listing in Gen 2 aftermarket forum)

Nobody minds "discussions" - which is what the forum is all about. Like most forums I've ever been in, there is a protocol that is expected to be followed: SEARCH First - then ask questions in the appropriate threads. Don't start a new thread asking a question that has been asked by every NooB that wanders in wanting info. In most cases there maybe be 40-50 threads about the same topic already started, so no need to start yet one more.

Essentially what happens is someone will go use the Search to find the answer for you and feed it back, unless they're passionately attached to a specific topic/link and know it off the top of their heads.

The quickest way to make friends and earn the respect of other members on the board is to A) Introduce yourself (which you did) and get some pics posted of your ride - or at least an avatar. B) Don't make uneccessary requests by blasting random messages wihtout at least trying to look it up and see if its been asddressed liek a hundred times before. (although I do notice you name is "blast" - LOL!)

Anyway - no harm/no foul - just try to do a little research first - you'll get a lot more positive response!

Cheers

I think the other point (wrt searching) is that sometimes there are some VERY good writeups or very good discourse on the subject that are far more comprehensive and complete than you're going to get just throwing out a question here and there. You'll learn a lot more by searching and hunting, than you will just asking questions.

The guys that have been on this site for years and know all the stuff that you want to know read through just about all the forums. They'll see your question, but they get pretty tired of seeing a question asked that they've answered 10 times before. So even though these guys know, they're not likely to give you the full story everytime.

But hey! Welcome, and we hope you get where you want to go.
