I Wasn't Sure If I could.... Options

[mr_chunks]

I wasnt sure if I could post pix from my little mini photoshoot with my 2 buddies at the target parking structure since I dont drive a celica but here you go guys

Me: Black 2000 Toyota Solara
Richard: Silver Widebody Turbocharged Solara
Jordan: Gold Toyota Camry

All in the toyota family

Before I begin Im sorry if the photos are choppy/blurry. I dont exactly have a great camera


My Setup: 8000k Headlight + Foglight. Foglights with 3mm thick acrylic tint film

Sorry for the tripod in the shot

Car Buttock






Yay?

[Supersprynt]

Solara's are cool.

Exhausts on Camry's are not.

PS: Is that an intercooler on the silver one?

Richard: Silver Widebody Turbocharged Solara

[Supersprynt]

Sorry guys - miss that one.

[Celicam8]

that silver one is spanking hot.... imo i always thought the solara was a ... family car

[goferris]

seeing these pics gives me a new appreciation for the solara. i can now see myself getting one LOL
nice job

[Celicam8]

that silver one looks unique

^ Unfortunately if you think about it, solaras are camrys as well ( same chassis, same v6 but I believe the 4 cylinder camry of that yr shares the engine with 6g Celica 5sfe )
Anyway my point is the reason people think fixed up camrys are stupid are because no one ever thinks to do it. Ive seen supercharged solaras and camrys spank STis and Evos not to mention countless 3sgte/turbo engined camrys destroy most things on the road. Theres one guy who has a fully built turbo 1mz running 10:2:1 compression with low boost hittin enough WHP to kill supercharged vettes
A Thread on his GT40R Camry
I think the whole thing leads back to that the camry/solara was never embraced like the Accord chassis. But you never see people clownin on fixed up 4 door accords.

No, the solara is just for fat guys who cant fit in say...
A celica
That well. I need the room for my fat ass to squeeze in and out

solaras are awesome. 200hp stock. its a 2 door too, i think one of the requirements for a family car is having 4 doors.

[spolski07]

i beg to differ
even though a four door accord may be faster than my celica
i still clown on them cause they are ugly

well.. the new ones arent bad
what i was saying was if you see an accord fixed up youre not gonna be thinkin its "weird" or "out of the ordinary" like one would think if they saw a fixed up camry

ok family with a dad that is over the hill and needs to impress a younger woman

200hp stock from 1mzv6.
214ft/lbs stock
But my SLEv6 curb weight is around 3600lbs
Thats probably 900-1000lbs heavier than 6gen celica
so stock solara v6 auto vs stock celica auto I got the celica by maybe... 3 car length to 60? I dunno youll have to ask my sister ( we had a tiny race when she bought her 6g celica GT )

Hey, I don't drive a Solara and I weigh about 380 and I'm 6'3". Sure it might look a little funny when I get in and out but once I'm inside its plenty of room. More leg room than a sedan at least...

only accord i like is the 94ish coupe
and it has to be done right
4 door accords and camrys are both family cars and i point and laugh at every one that is "fixed up" that i pass






















but hey this is my opinion and last time i checked upgrading a car is about personal preference right?

Yea, upgrading a car IS about personal preference but so many people impose their preferences on others. A prime example is that these BMW guys were clownin on my car sayin I drive "what is basically a dressed up camry which is a piece of **** in the first place". I think thats sad. I think its sad that people can't keep an open mind and are so narrow minded that they have to hate on other cars. Everyone has their taste. If you can see work being put into a car, you dont have to appreciate it but certainly dont talk **** and laugh just cause its not the same kind of car that you have. My friend jordan with the camry has put in more physical work into his camry than richard has into his widebody turbo solara, and all people can do is clown on his car. Thats weak. And besides that on this forum of all, I would think it would all be in the Toyota family right?

anyway I think its sad that people are so narrow minded. This is why certain groups of people will never along

[mr_chunks]

3SGTE Powered CAMRY

I dont know about you guys
but I certainly wouldnt point and laugh at this camry.

[808celica]

in that rear shot(2nd pic) at first look the silver one appeared to me like an Rx-8.............lol

that silver solara is nice. Personaly i like both the camry and solara's. I gained big respect for them when i met my buddy Kingston. Hes got a 94 4door camry with a TRD supercharger highboost pulley on it. It goes like stink and a half. Nice pics.

the SE v-6 is about 3300 for curb weight. with a 0 to 60 time of around 7 seconds. but you got the extra goodies of the top trim =]

[bccentaur3]

The silver colara is hot. Something about the wide body kit. Although I am not a fan of body kits but the kit is working on the car. Nice and clean.

Haha im DEFINATELY not doing 0-60 in 7 seconds
OD off, foot on brake, built rpm to 3000 rev and released i timed my best 0-60 run in 7.89
In an auuuuto
Thats current setup, too. Stock was like 8.24 or something like that.

[goferris]

they didn't ever release these in a manual did they?

my personal preference is that i don't like most 4 door cars suped up. there are only a few exceptions. ie sti, evo, slightly modded corolla, but a camry is def not one that i would ever mod. that 2 door camry is pretty nice though.

solara has 2 trims SE and SLE
SE = cloth interior ( some had leather very few ) and your choice of 5sp E153 transmission or Auto
SLE = leather, moonroof, climate control etc but only came in auto
mines an SLE V6

your stock was 8.24? stock celica gt auto should be 9 seconds +. you should have killed the celica by more then just 3 car lengths. maybe the driver of the celica was better at stomping the gas pedal... lol jk. but yeah shoulda been much more then 3 cars.

The driver of the celica was my sister, wyntersun
when i raced the celica i didnt hold brake, i just waited for the light to change and stomped on it
no OD switching either

yep my bud has one all red n he loves it. i thot it was a bit long, but when you're inside it feels smaller..until u get into the backseat cuz we use his car to ride to parties in

awesome pix

[playr158]

Exhausts on Camry's are not.

no better than an exhaust on a celica....at least most camery's are faster

[LewFX]

you chickened out of trying it with craig...im sure you will chicken out with me too, muwahaha...christinas car gets faster because of her tattoos!

[mr_chunks]

I chickened out?
Last I recall i didnt chicken out
I also had my as.s handed to me though
But I was WOT all the way until he let off

[njccmd2002]

my next car is a solara convertible, tan top, black color. To match my celica. once i get it, i will restore my celica

[OOBE]

in that rear shot(2nd pic) at first look the silver one appeared to me like an Rx-8.............lol

It fooled me too. You weren't the only one.

[jdg371]

the Solara is hot! My cousin has a TRD kitted solara, TRD kit, exhaust, spring, and wheels. I love it except for the fact that its auto. I know of another guy that has the same TRD modification plus a auto => manual swap and a TRD supercharger... quite fast! but wasnt as fast as his turbo supra. lol

[mr_chunks]

Gen 1 ( like my car )
Gen 2 ( newer ones )
or Gen 2.5 ( brand new 08 and newer )??

I think that would be sweet to match cars like that
