Hey Solara owners! I am located here in Albuquerque, NM and I just picked up a 2000 Solara SLE V6 about a month ago. I love this car! Any tips on performance tuning...I am all ears! See you all around!

performance tuning????


well, you can get clear corners...reverse indiglo gauges...or maybe even that nifty air intake resistor on ebay that gives you up to 10 hp....EASY. :P

j/k...don't get the resistor!


i think the only option open to you as far as upgrading your hp is the supercharger. check out ebay, i think there's one for sale.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! I love this car. Forrest Green, Tan Leather, 6-Disk in dash, AT (wish it was MT...but oh well). Looking at working on the suspension first....a little too soft of a ride, needs to handle corners a little better! See you guys around! Thanks for the tips!!!

Agreed about the suspension. It was one of my best mods so far. There is currently a group buy on the tokico struts and eibach or vogtland springs, check the for sale section
