What To Do with a 99 Solara
Its a 3.0 V6 FWD. It looses traction easily, I want to stay NA, and improve its handling. Nothing out of the extraordinary, and on decent budget.

i believe they are larger pulleys for your alternator, water pump, etc. by making them larger it puts less strain on the engine because they all have different ratios. allows you to use more engine power on the pavement instead of parasitic loss.

You could give it to me. I'd gladly take it off your hands.

What color is it?
