Over a year and never introduced myself! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

My name is Mike and a a proud owner of a 2002 Toyota Solara v6, color is diamond white pearl.

Over the year I have done some modifications to it, first came the TRD exhaust, then the HIDs for the headlights, Injen short ram intake, Nokya for the fogs, replaced struts and springs with TRD/Tein setup and also replaced the stock rsb with a UR model. I finally upgraded the speakers and deck but got into an accident a few days before they all arrived so it delayed the install a bit while the car was in the shop. Recently acquired a rare black Injen Intake and UPFD extension, so that will be going on this weekend. Some more things planned in the future when I get some cash together... supercharger and lip kit on my mind!

Here is a link to a post I made a few days ago....

Thanks! Some nice looking Camrys you got as well, or had since I saw a comment that one was sold back to original owner.

FlawedLegacy - Thanks as well! Your Corolla looks clean as well. I got to drive one of the newer models while my car was in the body shop for repairs a few weeks ago, but it made me miss the v6 lol.

It was fun to drive a newer Toyota though! Get to feel how smooth the steering and accelerating goes. Didn't get to abuse it like some folks I know would lol.

Also I forgot to mention before having this I was driving a Nissan Xterra and wrecked it by hitting my friend's Silverado. The year before that I was involved in another accident but was in the passenger seat of an 88 Corolla that belonged to my dad, when a Rav 4 ran a red light and luckily hit the rear passenger bumper. So with the recent minor accident to the Solara (got hit in a parking lot and damaged my driver door and broke the window; other party's insurance paid for all repairs) that is 3 accidents in the last 3 years, thank god we were all okay!

So I believe this is the second Toyota to be in my family, we mainly had Hondas before and most likely sticking to Toyotas for a long while!
