Update of Tacti's Sand Mica

by **tacti** » Sun Mar 04, 2007 5:48 pm

I have gotten MSR 085, 20" rims recently (I know.. it's still in winter in ohio... but couldn't help it..), so i washed my car in freezing cold and went to take some pictures.

it has pretty deep lips!!

Compareing to my old 18" ADR

Also, I have installed 7color LED for interior and underbody.

WOw really nice upgrade Tacti !!

BTW did you get some news from StopTech for the SS brake lines ??

by **PhreakdOut** » Sun Mar 04, 2007 6:01 pm

Very slick Tact!!!! It really fills in the wheel well so nicely. Congrats on the new shoes!

Thanks for the props.
When I pull my car out of the parking lot, it didn't seems that cold..
however, when i start washing the car, i found that water start freezing if i don't wipe them off quick enough...

anyways, the offset helped me on filling the gap between tires and fender.
the last rims sat deep in the wheel-well, and that made the gap looks bigger.

the big rims make the brakes look so small...
now i want a big brake kit...
but... 2 grand just for looks is bit too steep.
does anyone know if i can replace solara's brake with any other car's caliper/rotors which is bigger than solara's?

>Sebas007
i haven't heard anything from them yet...
Hopefully they gonna reply me soon..

the gap you had with your 18's comes also from the 225/40R18 tires, its the tire size of a 19" wheel (225/40R19) so you were missing 1 inch compared with your 20"...but now..wow looks perfect. Which suspension setup you are using ??

Good tire choice 225/35R20 Toyo Proxes 4 !

Congratulations Tact!!! You're ride is oh so SICK. I think you definitely made the right choice on going w/ those 20s. Very nice lip on those rims also.

You did an amazing job with the LED lighting as well. WOWOWWOWOWOW

I can't wait to see it in person. This is one SICK SICK Solara Tact! Way to REP bro!!!

^^Tact went w/ the TRD springs that he got from me (I ended up not using them and sold it to him) and definitely was a great choice in my opinion.^^ Definitely fills in the gap fo sho!^^

Hey Sebastian, I totally agree with you that DUBS looks PERFECT on our Gen 2 Solaras. Your ride is coming along nicely as well.

Everything looks great! You know I'm all about those lights

by **Biggi_e** » Sun Mar 04, 2007 10:27 pm

looks great tacti! nice work. i wasnt a big fan up underbody lighting but the way you set yours up, it looks great!

by **PXLpainter** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 12:42 am

Dood - that's great!! I NEVER see that color on a Gen 2 here in SoCal!! What is the offset you're running - looks pretty much like 38 from what I can see... any rubbing?

Like the underbody lights too - I know they're considered "rice" but I don't know why I still like them!

Nice job overall.
