I watched my own soarer drive off with a new owner last night. Hardest thing to do, but I'm certain its for the best.

Big thanks to the people who have shared their knowledge of these cars, in particular Manny, Neil and Simon, who've all helped me out. And also to the many friends and forum characters here who have made soarer ownership such a blast.

I'll probably drop in to soarerland every once and awhile. Might even make a soarer comeback sometime in the future.

But as Craig said, "Take care and drive safe".

Cheers,

Brad

It's been fun Brad. Make sure you don't dissapear completely, that'd suck.

Are you upgrading or downgrading cars mate?

Cheers, Morgan.

Oh damn Brad, it's been real nice having you around here and on the various cruises you came along to. Please don't forget us... you've been here longer than most and have contributed greatly to the club also.

Morgs, I'm co-piloting my girlfriend's Spyder for now. Guess you'd call it a sideways move. I've had this obsession with wanting to supercharge it.

Colin, the new owner can't seem to stay away from the forum! Expect to see some turbo newbie questions soon. By the way.... Jade insists that if I get another soarer, it has to be an active!

Simon, thanks mate. Safe to say I won't be going far. I like soarers and other cars that the forum supports (celsiors, chasers, etc) way too much to just drop it and walk away.

Well Brad good to see ya driving a Toyota still!
Even with half the power and half the weight it still should go well for you, plus saving on the pocket at the pump too!
So hope you still can come down to Neil's for Easter and I hope no one will have a problem with the MR2.

Now now Donald!

Good luck with it Shane? What management system / injectors did you decide on? Did you convert to R154 or W58? What clutch ect.

Last few times I've missed you online and it seems a lot has happened since we last spoke.

Cheers.

Yeah i know mate,

Ive gotten it converted to R154 with a TRD 3 puck Clutch and 440cc Injectors and Apexi Power FC...Big Thanks to Neil for supplying me with everything i needed, and Manny with all his help and ofcourse my mechanic Niall who is doing all the work.

Turbos are replicas of Mannys old TT setup and thanks goes out to Lew for Dump Pipes.

Cant wait to get it on the road and tuned.
