Most Admired 2nd Gen?

Postby Black Bob » Mon Jul 27, 2009 12:47 pm

I'm biased and I vote for Mike T's because his car is a mirror image of mine.......except for the Lambo doors.....and the rims.....and the brakes.....and the air suspension.....and the nitro setup....and the headunit......and the grill......and the lower grill....and the eyelids.......and the dual exhaust.......

NICE rides posted so far!

SallySolara -
Air on your blue Solara is just SIIIIIICK! If I didn't want to compromise ride quality or functionality I would definitely bag it. My brother owned a bagged Cavalier z24, and a couple friends have bagged rides (s10, lincoln navi). I know the perception is that they ride nicer than stock, but I know from these vehicles that it's not the smoothest ride. Nowhere near how my stock suspension rides. Not to mention slight hacking and welding that may be needed. I also like the in dash DVD player. How does yours ride compared to stock (on a 1-10 scale)??? some things that I think would make your ride beyond rediculous would be a cleaner wheel design, and removal of the vinyl on your windshield. Also if you color match tinted your tails like this...

Mike T- not a fan of his lambo's or eye lids but looks like a very nice car otherwise. Looks like he has leather seats too which is cool for a car with the Sport ground effects.

Milt and Posh - very nice ride! a photo of your car is by far the sickest Solara pic I have ever seen. I stumbled upon this pic when i first became interested in Solara's, before i even owned mine.

it's this one...

PhreakdOut - I love Red SE Sports. Looks very nice with those black/gunmetal wheels and grill.

thanks a lot everyone I'm thinking about fiber glassing the whole interior panels (dash, doors, and trunk).
also adding custom seats (2 tone leather) during this winter.
I also want to add a bolt on turbo; if I could find the right person to do it.
as for the air-ride I rate it a 9 on the handling. And a 10 on the looks and the fun.
