#3348 of 3934 Re: 2004SLE CONVERTIBLE [shelly #3347] by pomeara1 Apr 24, 2004 (4:53 pm)
Replying to: shelly (Apr 24, 2004 11:06 am) See my note from 4/24. This car is extremely quiet with the top up, it even rivals many hardtops. It's built as a convertible from the ground up in Georgetown, KY, not a chop-top.
#3349 of 3934 My first race... by 2k1trd Apr 25, 2004 (5:04 am)
I'm on my way to pick up some take out the other night and i pull up to 2 kids in a Mustang GT at a red light.The light turns green and sure enough the kid punches it ans so do i and low and behold my 04 SLE is staying about a half a fender ahead of it!...we wne t for 2 gears untill the next light and i ask the kid what year his stang was and he replied that it's a 98 (the slower ones)and then he replies "that thing is quick!".Just to note that i am running Mobil 93 and a K&N filter.

Replying to: tyresmoker (Apr 20, 2004 5:01 am) Picked up my Solara Convert, on Sat. I bought it at Diehl Toyota in Butler PA, outside of Pittsburgh. As I stated, I paid 30,211. It listed for 32,237. Very happy with the deal. Used the Nav. system for the drive back to South, New Jersey. It was fabulous. Got 31.9 MPG for the entire trip. That was using Regular gas. It is only rated for 29 on the highway. With the top up and windows closed, it was as quiet as my 2002 Envoy, which my son drove back. Can't wait for some other long drives this summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   lfm

#3352 of 3934 HID Conversion Kit - 04 Solara by solara_pa Apr 27, 2004 (11:33 am)
Have '04 SLE. Anyone have any personal experience with a HID conversion kit for the '04? Most of the kits available will come with HID d2 bulbs rebased into H11 bulbs which will fit into the normal Solara low beams. H11 is fairly hard to come by in re-based HID yet, but's it's out there.   My concern is that most of the importers selling them want a 20% restocking fee or have no return at all. HID bulbs are longer in length sometimes then the regular halogen bulbs... With Toyota's "HID wanna-be" elliptical dome that the bulb goes into, I'm concerned the HID bulb could actually go in too far and bang the front of the dome and not lock in. I'm not willing to spend $450.00 to find out they won't go in thanks to the shape of the '04 headlights.   P.S. Not interested in the non-HID halogens that claim to be 4,000-5,000k in color temperature - cause they're not!   Any thoughts/experiences with real HID?   Thanks
#3353 of 3934 "title fee" by solara_pa Apr 27, 2004 (11:42 am)
LFM and PA folks in general   Just so you know -- PA title fee is $22.50. That $55.00 is called a "documentary fee." It is NEGOTIABLE and not a state required fee. It is the result of a "gentleman's agreement" between the dealers' associations and the commonwealth which sets the maximum (up from 40 something to 55 recently)--- this fee is for the dealer's expense to prepare all of your paperwork... I know it's only $55.00, but I love how they try to make it look like a state required fee....   next time tell them they already made enough!
#3354 of 3934 lights by oxmead Apr 27, 2004 (9:54 pm)
I don't see a need for HID lights in the 2004 Solara. Would the HID's be that much brighter? As is, they're the brightest lights I've ever had in a car. People are always flashing, thinking I have the high beams on. Especially when the fogs are on. It's kinda weird that the lights only shine on the road and not higher than about 4 feet of the ground. It's like going through a tunnel.
#3355 of 3934 2004 solara se v6 by labattsjf Apr 28, 2004 (8:53 am)

#3356 of 3934 Left pull problem by banditcosmo Apr 28, 2004 (9:20 pm)
HI, I might be buying a SE Sport v6 (trying to buy it for under $21,000) and I've test driven it and I have not noticed a left pull. Does this start over time or should I notice it right away ? Thanks, Tony Replies to this message: labattsjf (May 04, 2004 2:30 pm)
#3357 of 3934 My 5 months old '04 Solara has some noise by zhutou Apr 28, 2004 (11:20 pm)
Since the engine is quiet. I can feel the rear window and ceiling shake when the road is bumpy. Does anybody have the same problem. Seems it only happens around 40 ~ 50 mph.
