    Came across your channel after looking into buying a solara as my first car. Great videos man, really enjoy them

    Getting the Valve covers painted would really set off the engine bay, especially along side the turbo

      I’ve been thinking about it, I might color match it with the RPF1’s

    i know this is an old video, but just so you’re aware, the 1MZ’s bottom end already comes forged!

      🤔 only reason id keep em stock is because of weight, and cost, and ive seen tons of high hp 1mz builds with stock internals

    Nice work! You shouldn't need the Jim's fuel mod, if you are going with a return style system and the setup is different between the two. Suggestion: Mounts will need to be addressed to limit engine movement and assist with traction.

      You can turbo anything with the right budget
      I got a buddy that turbo’s his 2nd Gen v6
      I’m not familiar with how the 3MZ’s function with vvti though. My IG is that_solara

    does your 2000 come with the 3mzfe? i got the gen 3 and looking to turbo down the line

      @drivenbylew3030  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nah they didn’t make 1st gens with 3mz’s I think it started with the 1.5 gens (2002-2003)

    I'm working on my 99 solara rn, it is the v6 5 speed, u have any issues with high idle? Any idea on where to get aftermarket headlights and taillights

    • @drivenbylew3030
      @drivenbylew3030  ปีที่แล้ว

      Nah I’ve never had a high idle issue. RPMs naturally shoot up to just under 2k on cold starts but it should sit around 800-1000 when warmed up
      You may need to do an idle relearn

    • @drivenbylew3030
      @drivenbylew3030  ปีที่แล้ว

      Headlights and taillights will have to be custom. You may get lucky and find chrome tails floating around on the market but they are super rare
