Hey guys just got my first Solara/ Trd edition, S/C, trd springs, bilstein shocks, rear sway, trd strut bar, molly designs kit, trd muffler/ TSW wheels/ 70k miles. jbl system
Really happy with it, first solara. Auto. Not my first Toyota by far though, wife rocks a 02 Camry Le we had since new, reliability is amazing over 146k runs like new!! mk3 supra, sc400, es300, also have a soft spot for Taurus SHO had a couple of them. :D

So far cleaned the TRD air filter, mobil 1 oil change, trans flush at the dealer, and a detail.
Coming up this weekend:
replacing the supercharger plate idler pulleys
replacing serpentine/blower belt
denso ik22 spark plugs
ngk wire set
got the trd oil change kit for the blower/

Hoping to do some mods in the future, for now I'm enjoying the available power and see no need for extra. I have a couple of not so good pics, proper dlsr shoot coming soon!!!! :wink:

Since your changing your Spark plugs/wires. Change your valve cover gaskets while your at it, you don't want to go in there again... I could become a PITA.
