99 Solara - My Ride's progress

[SleeperSolara]

Looks good so far man.
You need to let the springs settle a tad bit.
The muffler looks a tad bit angled down.....

ahhh looking good... I envy because you drop your car before me.... o well. Got my TRD Struts from Greg on Friday and waiting for the Tein S-Tech to be ship. Will see I'm hoping by the end of this month I can do the drop... I don't know about the exhaust though not really in a rush to get one in. But, I was wondering if I could custom fit an HKS Hi-Power exhaust somehow to this thing. I kind like that tone on my 2G DSM.

Thanks guy for the kind words, I know the muffler aims a little low but I like the look! And the sound is just amazing! Very deep tone and not ricey at all. Going from 2k rpm to 3k is the best part. I was trying to make a video but ran out of memory space and it started raining

It was raining all day today so just took some quick pictures when the raining took a 2 minute break. I'll make take some beautiful pictures another day and another place than in front of my garage lol.

Oh yeah and I know the springs have to settle a bit but I still thing I have a big wheel gap, especially in the back. When my tires would be done I'll get some 225/45/18 in the back (Currently on 215/40/18).

Also, some of you might think that it's wack to have a TRD badge in the back without important TRD parts, but I have a TRD engine crank cover! Lol! (I got it locally for like 5$ )

Ok enough talking here's the pictures

















More pictures taken from yesterday after the drop
Stupid pole!







A video of the exhaust sound is coming soon!

looks clean dude! yeah you should look lower in a few weeks. just put bricks in the trunk and speed up the process lol


and lets see that trd engine cover your talking about.

[mig0s]

Thanks nando and I didn't mean engine cover, I meant the crank case cap, the thing you have to take off to change your oil lol!

Just tinted my tails... Here's the before and after, does it look better?

BEFORE:




AFTER:


PS: I think I'mma put bricks in the trunk for the rear to be lower... it's been almost 2 weeks since the drop (Tein) and the rear still seems so high!

Whats the specs on the wheels? They look pretty darn close to the fenders, especially the fronts.

As for your springs. This might be the drop you will have man. 225/45/18 will kill the gap. I have 225/40/18 and still not satisfied. Also, you can hook up Subs in the trunk and that will make it a lil lower. hah.

Nice job tho, the wheels look clean

Thanks for the comment! The rims are 18x8 +40, which for me is a perfect size BUT the tires are 215/40/18, which are really small, you can even see a little stretch. But I got the wheels like that and the tires are almost new. Either I'll wait for them to be done and get some 225/45/18 or I'll try to find someone that would switch with me.

Since I'm storing the Solara for the winter (trust me it's harsh here in Canada), I'll get some 10mm spacers in the rear during that time!

dang the car is coming along real nice!

[redsamick]

Looks great man, can't wait to get home, post some pics, and get to work. Enjoy!

[ToyoSolV6]

lovin the tinted tails bro! i would of kept mine but cops here are asses, so i had no choice than to let them go!

[mig0s]

Thanks guys! I just spent the whole afternoon washing, clay bared, waxed and polished the car. Will post pics soon with a video of my exhaust!

[SteveSolara]

nice ride i like the rims, it would look better if u blacked out the front side signals and the rear tailight ( but mask out the reverse and turn signals ) thats what i did to mine and it looks great on a white solara but looks even better with a black one.

[SteveSolara]

This is what it looks like when you tape out the reverse, and turns signals and spray it down with RUST-OLEUM Lens Tint Translucent Black Coating
