Click the button in the top right to nominate the Red Knight for "Showoff of the week". There's never been a Solara to win this honor.

Thanks for visiting my CarDomain page. Before you check it out I'd like to share a little info with you. I'm guessing you've either never seen a hooked up Solara or you own one. There aren't many people that don't fall in one of those 2 categories. The reason I fixed this car up is because I got attached to it and it is unique. Those of us who have fixed up Solaras beg fabricators to make parts for us and pay big $$$ for them. If I told you how much I've spent on this car, you'd fall off your chair. The TRD lip kit on my car is the only good quality body kit available for the Solara. There are a few cheap fiberglass kits available but no good urethane kits. I'd love to do more but everything takes forever to convince people to make things or even find someone to listen. Anyone can fix up a car that has tons of aftermarket support, I wanted something different. I hope you like what I've done, either way, please leave comments in my Guest Book. I'd love to know what you think and can always use suggestions.

4.9.2006 UPDATE! Fresh paint job better than before. Jsut out of the booth 3 hours ago!

The Red Knight will have a new awakening in 2006. Stay tuned as the project unfolds!

3/12/05 - The engine and transmission builds are complete. I'm working out the finer details now. My goal is to push the Red Knight into the 12s in the 1/4 mile.

Here is a peak at the recently completed (3/5/05) engine.
