don't like seeing towbars on Soarers either, especially UZ31s which i believe is particularly damaging if you are towing anything heavier than a bike rack

Which one is this 631 you speak of?


Seems 631 is on the planet soarer list, (Richard Stevens). Anyone know of him?
The 32 I'm on about is in Wellington,(on it's belly).

Knowing clueless dopes in NZ they have probably thrown the old shocks away when they could have been rebuilt!


Ask the question on trade me mike, could be worth rescuing.

What a cock!

Would in their right mind would 'dump' four UZZ32 Suspension struts... fark me!

I would have bought them off him for safe keeping, you never know when they would have been handy to have or on sell to some one wanting to rebuild them.

Ahhh!

Its a shame when you work out there are probably less than 1000 sets of these shocks made, who knows how many spares were made but Toyota has none left now!

To take my mind off that sad news, I'll share this video I quickly put together the other day of my Soarer during a relaxing night time drive. Sounds quite good, last clip is the last time I revved it up to 7.5k, since sold that ECU to Phil in Australia. :-)

this is probably the most tidy & original Soarer I have seen on Trademe:

Made shortly after mine. Nice choice of wheels, and the whole car looks like it has been someones pride and joy.

Wow, very clean indeed.

Little things like the clean leather components inside and the clear white brake fluid reservoir hint its in good condition.

Though, the wheels make it look like a Nissan and it has stupid Lexus badges.

Would have been perfect otherwise!
