| Wow! We really part on taste there! Too low too black too velour too many add-ons including more fake wood. That rear vision mirror has to be one of the worst sights I have seen in a car, aesthetically speaking. One man's dream is another man's nightmare Never mind. I never expect agreement on taste and it is usually interesting to have a look |

| david are you crazy...i understand the interior comment....but the outside...wish my soarer look like that from the outside. those in built exhausts outlets in the bumper mm mm mmmmm that interior reminds me of another car, had the same colour would trim, one sold in WA. hmm yee the wood bit on the top and rear mirror and chrome knobs might have to go, and black leather seats are needed, but id keep the rest each to his own though |

| I agree with David, too black (having just sold a black car, happy not to have to wash it again) Too much woodgrain and walnut would have looked classier (in smaller amounts, as David said... that mirror

Ditto............love the exhaust outlets - very trick. The extensions on the skirts and the nose cone are nice too. - I'd murder those where I live though! Can anyone identify the bootlid spoiler ? - nice too. |

| Looks like that guy is the winner of Roger Cordia's ebay'age, notice the arrow on the intercooler piping? =P Very nice exterior, however its too low for my liking. I'm not a fan of the interior. Reminds me of baby poo. |

| Nice and tidy engine bay, funny though does all that good work, and leaves the front engine hook in look better with it off, and tidy up the heat shield, not to keen on the inside, obviously he likes velour! but that is one of the hottest looking Soarers from the outside. Also look at first pic then the last, he has adjustable suspension i reckon (you can see that in engine bay shot) |

| Thats quite a nice soarer. Very well done. Like the interior and wheel choice, plus black soarers always look good so it does have an advantage! However only negative points I can see with are: 1) Its not a V8 2) Back suspension height is too low. 3) Multi-coloured engine bay...... Other than that nice! |

| I love the bodywork, very low, very sinister, very sleek - gives off the impression its the sort of car that only comes out late at night. Personally, I owuld love to see some mesh-style wheels on it, they always seem to complement the soarer in my opinion....however I can appreciate there is some serious dish on the ones he has on it. Interior - well, it would look a whole lot better if he had gone with a deeper mahogany-coloured wood trim, and kept the cream/tan interior instead of two-toning with the black so much (ie the dash). Faux woodgrain on the dash cluster and rear-view mirror was a tacky, over-the-top touch. And thats before I even get started on the chrome-stickered volume & climate control knobs and glovebox button. So externally, its nice and simple, with some subtle mods....just a pity he didnt follow through on that theme on the interior. As for the engine bay, I cant hep but ask - he's got polished pipework for the turbos, a polished strut bar, he dressed up his cam covers....so why the hell didnt he polish/powdercoat his inlet manifold???!! Would I be correct in surmising he started from a base POV-pack JZZ30??? (No ABS in the engine bay, and I'm guessing the reason for the walnut-coloured faux wood trim is because he didnt have the real trim to start with) |

| Thats very nice... but the only thing that need to be changed is the seats, they should be leather considering everything else has been pimped out. |

That's what I was thinking too. The o/s is killer, however when I was a kid I had a pet lamb that used to get diarrhea. That was the same colour as the inside wood work (i'm not a fan). However, that o/s, I now have a new desktop for my computer |

Have you ever tried taking the inlet manifold off ??? its a pain in the A-hole, I reckon its harder, takes longer and a lot more fiddly getting that thing off than doing the turbo's |

| Yes I have, twice now, though admittedly when it was on an engine stand - but considering the rest of the work that has gone into the car, surely they didnt just decide it was too hard??? It just sticks out like the dogs proverbials having not been dressed up. Actually, come to think of it, I did an injector swap in the car once - so I must have taken it off in situ once as well. |

| Exterior is eye catching - BUT - chrome door handles and pillars are very out of place looking and impractical - car is too low, wheels are too big and rear camber is totally OTT. Car would be a bitch to live with, but guessing its not a daily driver so maybe that's OK. Interior is just hideous - looks like babies shat everywhere. Engine bay looks like WIP to me. |

You must have a pretty lapped out looking soarer if that is what you aspire to Gary. I don't so yes I think it's average! |

| I don't think the wheels are too big (is there such a thing?) but they tuck under the guards too much and the stretched tyres don't help with the look. Apart from that, the outside is pretty good. The light timber and door handles don't match the dark intention of the outside. Overall, a lot of work, and most is good. |
