#3360 of 3934 Thump by jkpsaras Apr 30, 2004 (4:55 pm)
Have a 1 month old 2004 Solara SLE V6 with the 17 wheels. I'm noticing a thump noise when the rear wheels hit a bump. Sounds like it's coming from the rear shocks. Has anyone else noticed this?

#3362 of 3934 Thump in rear by loucopits May 01, 2004 (3:15 pm)
I had a similiar problem with my 2002 Solara SE. This was my post when I had it diagnosed and fixed. I'd ask the Toyota service manager to ride in the back seat and listen to your thump. ------------------------------------------------- Since I ended up with an unexpected day off, I called Walker Toyata in Dayton, Ohio and spoke to John Moss, service manager. He promptly asked me to come in and take him for a ride to diagnose the problem. It was a loose nut on the rear strut, promptly fixed, tested, and ended the problem. Pleasure to deal with that service department.
#3363 of 3934 For the noise problem, I am referring to the coupe by zhutou May 02, 2004 (12:23 pm)
SLE V6, bought in Nov 2003, manufactured at Kentucky.   Thanks for the post afterwards. Mine's noise problem seems to be the same problem. They agree to have a look, but the dealer refuses to give me a rental car while they need a day to look at it.   They should give us one, it is the car's problem, right?!
#3364 of 3934 HID's by jschamberger May 02, 2004 (7:13 pm)
I asked the same questions about 6 months ago when I got my 04 Solara... no responses. You are correct, H11 HID Conversion is very hard to come by.   Here is my question:   The new top end Celica offers HID's. Do you think it's possible to just by that kit (assuming you can figure a way to fit them in). Do you think the ellipisoid dome's are the same???

Replying to: banditcosmo (Apr 28, 2004 9:20 pm) i bought the same car and had the left pull problem right away. i brought it back to the dealer and they checked for a tsb from toyota. they found one and it stated to try rotating the tires and if that didnt work to adjust the mount assembly and then reallign. they followed this tsb to a t and now my car is dead on and i have no more complaints about the car. hope that helps.
#3366 of 3934 NEW SOLARA CONVERTIBLE AVAILABLE WITH DISCOUNT by lfm May 04, 2004 (10:55 pm)
To all who are looking for a 2004 Solara Convertible that is discounted by the dealer, should check out Diehl Toyota of Butler, PA. He has a Frost one in stock with about an $1800.00 discount. I bought mine there last week and got over a $2000.00 discount. Ask for Alan

saw a white w/tan top today at the Toyota dealer (in the process of being delivered, so I still haven't sat in one). IMO, not a nice color combo. I think it looks better with the black top, in silver (or red if you like it). Black looks good, but I don't do black cars, so a nice medium/navy blue could be a nice look. Of course, they don't offer it, which is par for the course.
#3368 of 3934 Gas mileage: pleasant surprise........ by ezshift5 May 09, 2004 (1:47 pm)
Most of us agree: the V-6 is hardly an econobox. With no automatic to spin, a recent Mount Shasta to Zamora (about 30 miles north of Sacramento) 193 miles on 5.4 gallons. If you choose to do the math.....best,ez   2000 SE-V6 5-speed manual/215's Replies to this message: Canc (May 09, 2004 6:15 pm)

Replying to: ezshift5 (May 09, 2004 1:47 pm) That's great EZ... I've also been impressed with the gas mileage I'm able to get with my V6 too, and to top that off, even with regular grade gas! It isn't as economical as the 4 cylinder, but it's not a HUGE tradeoff, considering the extra power and torque, which comes in really handy if ever you need to tow something, passing someone on a 2-lane highway, etc...   Glad to see you're still enjoying your Solara.
