Boys I'm am sad to inform you that my Soarer is being written off, it was quoted for repairs $8,000 worth of repairs.
So shortly an aftermarket air compressor and pump and swtiches will be up for grabs I spent over $3.5 k for this so this will be going very very cheap.
Dan, James, Ken and Mike you boys have first dibs on parts you are chasing. (It's the least I can do for the help you guys have offered) let me know what you're after and I'll see if I can pull it out of the car (Tomorrow) , and I'll work out super cheap mates rates for you boys.
As for my next car it's very unlikely I'll be getting another soarer
So this is just a short list of possible parts up for grabs.
- HID Kits 35w 6000k (Pillips Kit) - LEDs - Very good condition power steering pump - Aftermarket Air compressor and pump, switches etc (bolt on kit) - Head unit (can't remember atm the brand) - Aftermarket speakers, sub, JBL amp
Look guys make a list of things your after and I'll see what I can do

Mate, you may be able to buy the wreck back from insurance and make your money back. Or send those photos to costa - if all the car requires is a new rear subframe - the car may be able to be repaired for less than 8k.

Yeah I'll float around on the SC site with my Kia Rio lol, James mate what ever you think is a fair price for the electric motor and HID is good enough for me mate. Shoot me a PM of the price and we'll go from there.
Dan got your PM. Dash is the poo brown, EMV I'll have to steal one of your non working one and switch it over. For the EMV you happy to to a switch over for $150 (ono) mate might get you to come down so I can swap the parts over.
Reason is I'm not buying back the car so when they take it away I still want to make sure they send me my cash, so I'll take parts that can be taken out with out them knowing but for example the emv is going to leave a huge gap so need to patch it up with a non working one.

The owner of the one you posted up james must have taken to dirt roads or something you can see the bull dust every where haha he needs to give it a good clean, kinda brings back memories of project green

Yeah the engine is very dirty, but some high flowed steel wheeled turbos, (Neil can adapt the 2JZ Turbos to fit the 1JZ) a bigger fuel pump, fmic, lews dump pipes, an emanage ultimate - or some 264 degree cams from someone like HKS will get this car into the 12's very easily, provided nothing more is wrong with it.

James don't worry about coming up (I'll let you know nice and early tomorrow) I'm not to sure how the owner will take it, but I'll check for you.
I just might need Dan to come up to swap over the EMV screens if he wants it and I'll hand over the parts you're after to him. But will confirm with you tomorrow regardless mate

Yeah, sounds good. I have this whole weekend off including monday. I'm keen to see project green anyway, so if the parts do get out this weekend, I'll come up to get them off Daniel if he has them in his posession.

Condolences Reggie. I hate it when things go pearshaped like they did.
I was also thinking of getting a smaller car as a daily, but I slapped myself back into consciousness and decided against it, you just cant have as much fun and passion in a 1.5 litre econobox. I guess just think of how bored you'll be in your Daewoo Lanos club.
Imagine having to move your car for someone in the driveway, and getting aggravated about having to use 30 cylinders so 4 can get passed.... Ohh wait... That will be you
You, my friend, will only be hurting yourself if you don’t buy another performance car. Nuff said.
Let me know whats going on, I’ll have a better think and send you a pm.
