Hello All! Newbie coming on board...

Hello - Just found this site and wanted to introduce myself. I've been the owner of a solara since I bought it new in 2002. Here's what I got:

2002 Solara SE V6 5-Speed
90,000 Miles now...
Lunar/Grey Cloth
Black Pearl Emblems and Wood Trim
Sunroof, JBL
Tinted Windows

It's been an awesome car. Just had the timing belt/water pump/drive belt/cam seals done. Never had any problems with it.

No mods - But, I think it's time. Any suggestions on where to start? I'd like to get the "boat" under control!

I think you should start exactly with this. If you do, I guarantee you won't be dissappointed.

Rear Sway Bar: Easily the best bang for your buck. Dramatically improves handling.

Lowering Springs/ Performance Struts: Kills two birds with one stone. Improves handling, and dramatically improves the look of the car.

TWM Short Shifter, Speed Source bushings: IMO, a must for any 5-speed owners.


Last, but not least, Welcome!
