NEW MODS: Rotora BBK, TEIN SS, and 19" Inspyres...

So I got a few new mods, and the vibration problem I was having was not fixed by the new tranny. the car is going back for a new axle or something. I can't even accelerate without a nasty vibration, its killing me. My car looks nice and all, but i can't drive it normally. oh well, as long as it get fixed eventually. BRakes are nice, feel strong, the coilovers are the best, nice combo of luxury ride and lowered stance (softest setting) and the wheels look so sweet, silver on silver, of course I'm partial. nesxt up is a complete ding removeal, detail, wax and new front bumper, maybe a custom front skirt, then I'm done (yeah right).

The front needs work, the paint is spider webbing from a parking lot hit and run, the splitters are chipped and uneven, I'm gonna fix that later.






check out how they look on the solara, makes me want to buy that car. The wheels actually fit on that car and a bunch of other lexuses, but they just won't be hubcentric.

Lets just see if you can beat my times...

Looks good ron! Feel like chopping those 19,s on my car. I am trying to decide on some wheels but just don't know what. You got anything with a lip coming out soon? Here's a pic if you feel like doing it.

withourcomp, talk about transformation! We have one other wheel, if you want to wait till this coming spring, hopefully. Email me and i'll send you a conceptual illustration of a prospected design.

Racersky, do a search on google for carbon fiber splitters, I bought mine a while back off another member and painted them sil. sorry. Thanks fo the compliments, shes almost there.

rondog, the front looks very clean. i personally dont like flared out bumpers, but it flows well in your setup. your rims on the solara looks amazing! i never thought a solara can look any good but you just proved me wrong!

Man, those things have potential, Toyota reliablility, TRD factory SC, and it looks pretty sweet, almost like an updated CL. Too bad its accosaited with the camry.

I actually have no idea how the new ones drive. Are they fun? I was really only referring to the styling as I'm just not a fan. Mostly because of the rear end.

A friend of mine has a 2001 (i think) Solara and it's quick off the line but lacks power overall. And his interior and interior materials are cheap and pretty as far as i'm concerned. But when you look at the CL/Solara together you see a fair amount of similarities.

Reliability is a factor... but overall i just don't like anything Toyota makes right now.

But an older body style MR2 turbo... now that would be fun. I always wanted one of those when i was in HS.

thanks, can't wait to get my car back in shape, still got that drivetrain vibration, aalready have an apointment too. I was also workjing on the rear part of the kit, I cut it in half and made seni rear slpitters, kinda like what the solora has as a kit, the rear skirt is actially two pieces. this way I can show off the exhaust that would otherwise be covered up, and it just looks better, not so rear heavy looking. I'll post pics later, when its done.
