I'm new to the forum, douzo yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
I just recently bought a 2000 Toyota Solara 5 speed V6. I plan on doing some modifications to it like new full suspension, new rims and tires, Supercharger, CAI, and full exhaust. Anyways, right now the engine check light is on so I gotta figure that out, but other than that, it runs the same when I bought it. Mileage is 73,000. Sore ja

Sorry woa_its_j3ff、I live in Sacramento. So what can you guy's reccomend doing to my car performance wise? I was thinking of the
CP-e CAI since many people say that it's really good, Tein Fully Adjustable Suspension, Cat-back exhaust, and I was to get a new clutch and fly wheel along with a different shifter. I don't mind the long throw, I just want smoothness. Short shifters are not for me. I got one for my previous car and at first it was cool, then it kinda broke on me so I went back to the OEM one, and all of a sudden, I was shifting way better. Anyways, feedback is appreciated, sore ja

catback is hard to find now. u can always get it custom done...
i just got the last greddy evo 2 up fro sale soo......
if u want good perfroamce around 1grand, check in with Damon (camryonbronze)
JPP (JP perforance) is offering a header/exhaust/extra stuff .. well worth the mony, but get the CPE too. and for sure get a TRD rear sway bar, itll make a world of diff, lowering the car helps a bit too.

Yeah, I want a cat-back system. I miss having the loud sound and that deep tone. My previous car had a ricey sound, but it was extra loud cause it had no catlytic convertor and it had a backfire which was always fun cause it actually set off alarms and sounded like gunshots when done right. I don't want that no more though now that I have this car, especially since I have an import now and not a domestic car. Thanks for the info. Also I plan on lowering it, not used to the luxury feel, I need a more rough ride with a tighter feel although the stock suspension with those wide tires makes the ride nice. I do want to get sway bars and strut bars as well, but I want to know if anybody knows about trd shift kits?
