I think martian was the person that said he had to say bye bye because he got laid off? Am I right Martian?

VR6 isnt worth it..your Solara is phat

nooooo..don't do it!! you'll regret it! if you're struggling then it's clear that you shouldn't do it!

i think we already talked about this, but i really like your rims, what kind are they?

Your car is Beautiful man! I cannot believe you'd wanna sell that!

Invest in a tranny swap instead. I really like your brakes. Are they Stock size Brembos? How much did they cost? Can you feel a difference
Any closeup pictures?

yes i cannot believe that either.. :cry:

so.. NO MORE CAR SWAP!!!

tranny swap.. hmm.. i am sure my car's current value is even lower than the cost...
Yup they are stock size drilled rotors by brembo, all the way around is around $340?? Oh and the difference on the appearance is definitely more noticeable than it on the performance..

here is a closer picture..

(dang! the $11 Levoc Valve Cap was stolen last week.. i am still very angry..

They do look great!

Im glad you're not selling it

I would ditch the idea of a tranny swap. By the time you have it installed...after paying for parts, labor and etc, you could have used those couple thousand dollars on paying off the car or putting into a newer better car.
