Project 2.0 / Restoration [Long Thread]
by SleeperSolara » Mon Sep 05, 2011 1:43 pm
Well, I haven't been posting up lately or recently cause nothing has really changed with my Solara. I have decided after all these hand full of years since I have owned the car, and after all the accidents and aftermarket parts that I hate the fitment of the parts.....
I will start a build there here and start from the beginning. I will add what parts I did buy around that time also.
2006
^^
The Solara when I first got it.
Mods: Tint, clear corners, independent fog light mod, TB spacer.
2007
Mods were: Rockford Fosgate battery terminal, added a slightly bigger transmission cooler.
2008
^^
Was rocking the Revo's aka TRD rims for awhile. I was a Revo wheel whore, was trying to go after the TRD look.
Mods were: Renova grille, Greddy Evo exhaust, TEIN lowering springs, Tokico HP blue struts, TRD rear sway bar, DBA slotted rotors, Magnacore wires, TRD oil cap, CP-e intake, Energy Supension rear poly control arm bushings, SuperPro dogbone bushings, Jim's torque rod.
2009
Mods were: SuperPro front control arm bushings, ES300 twin piston calipers, PowerSlot cryo'ed slotted rotors, Hawk HPS brake pads, had the twin piston calipers powder coated by my friend, Whiteline 24mm front sway bar, camber kit, Ultra Racing subframe braces, Cathode lighting for trunk.
2010
^^
Was rocking 2 sets of rims for a bit.
Mod were: Gabe's rear engine poly mount, Walbro 190 fuel pump, H&R 15mm spacers [bought by GF at the time, now best friends] for the Gen 2 rims, upgraded the old transmission cooler with a bigger one, changed up some of the fender bolts to allen style with finishing washers.
2011
[Picture will be here soon]
Mods were: New rear calipers, powder coated same color i had for the front, 10% tint now, new OEM shifter.
As of right now I'm working on my retrofit headlight project, I need to trim the shroud for the passenger headlight and then vacuum form the shroud for the passenger side, buy new corners, tint the chrome for a black chrome look.
And I will be buying some new interior parts, I will have an update on Saturday I hope, and will have a sneak peek picture also.

2000 Solara SE auto V6. Diamond White Pearl.
Top Speed Run finished at 130 mph.
Too many modifcations for the signature.
