welcome to SG, TRD muffler and kit for the gen 1 are difficult to find. id suggest lowering it, getting a kaminari kit with the current groupbuy, and finding a TRD rear sway bar. find a nice set of rims and enjoy driving one of the most reliable a greatest looking cars on the road!

Welcome :D

There's not a whole lot you can do on a budget. Many (quality) parts are a bit expensive, so shop wisely. Don't waste your time on anything else but the Kaminari body kit. All those fiberglass kits maybe cheap to buy, but it'll cost you to put it on. There's alot of body work involved, so this will jack up the installation costs. I had a black widow kit, it ended up costing around $5k to install and paint. First, I'd definately look into suspension, Tokiko struts and Tein springs are among the best. If you could afford coilovers, they'd give you the best handling, but only 2 companies offer them, Tein and JIC Magic. Also, the TRD rear sway bar is probably the best bang for the buck. It'll give you that tight feeling going into turns. Anyways, feel free to ask more questions if you got them.

BTW - Stay away from those cheap ebay intakes!!! Stick with cp-e or Injen!

Furthermore, know that the body kits available for the Solara are 99% cosmetic. You won't get extra speed or horsepower out of them, any more than you'd get extra speed of horsepower out of an APC or StreetGlow sticker.

Welcome to SG! I'm from Hawaii too....Honolulu to be exact. What part of Hawaii you from? If you're on a tight budget, just get an aftermarket intake & exhaust system installed.

One more thing, I know it's probably a habit, but since there's not a whole bunch of Hawaii people here....you might want to use proper grammar and not "Pidgin."

Welcome again and have fun with your ride!

The proper way to type is a sentence. Then two spaces following the period at the end of a sentence.
