That sounds cha-ching cha-ching cha-ching! Man, that's going be a beast when you get done with it, I can't wait to see pics when it's done. It sounds like your misfortune, turned into a blessing.

cha-ching x million times... :lol:

by **Paladin06Greg** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 9:21 am

Well not really 1000000 times. I got a really good price considering all that I'm having done and lets not forget a lot of the stuff is being custom made.

Arrieta Motorsport will now have built the two fastest street car Solaras! Hope to see you at his shop next weekend Greg.

You can bank on that. The good part is there's more fun to come. I spoke with Carlos today and he had exciting news. I feel a cool front moving in..

Arrieta Motorsports did the lowering job on my car (thanks, shidosha01, for the referral) and I cannot say enough good things about Carlos, Jr., and the whole family. Craftsmen that LOVE cars and know our Solaras.

Well it depends on how fast you want to go and what you can afford. If you go internal it's best to do it all at once for sure.

Went to see Carlos Jr. today. Things are progressing very well and I might get her back a little sooner then scheduled.

Mr. R honored me today with ride and short drive of his Solara. All I can say is thanks R and the money I',m spending is the best money I've ever spent. It's going to be worth every dime..
