Well guys the time has come after a long roughly 9 years of my life I had one of the best cars ever made.. Started out with a stock standard 94 limited TTL black on black with woodgrain trim..
The modify bug set in early and the build to greater HP started.. Before too long I was drag racing at eastern creek and circuit track racing at Wakefield and the late Oran park raceway..
All the time when a cruise was on I was there and traveled to many cruises and also part of one of the biggest soarer events outside japan at queenbyan .. Meeting so many faces to the names on this forum was a truly great part of my life.. Along the way I built great freindship and I thank you all ..
Today closed one of the hardest pages in my book with my baby taken away on a tilt tray to be scrapped..!! Sad sad day

My car was used in my wedding along side Ryan's white soarer..

This is very hard to say and will keep it simple..!!
This is goodbye and thankyou so much for a great forum and the people inside.. Stay safe!! Enjoy one of the best cars ever built!! Live life to the fullest.. !!!

Will keep account active for that one day I may get another... :-(
Wish u all well..!!!!
Signing out and goodbye for now!!!

Ty guys yeah sadly the old girl ended with a cracked piston .. Reg rebuild I just added up everything else that was wrong with it.. It out weighed sensability and finance was low at the time with a job loss.. Had to part it sadly.. The better part is I put it together and pulled it apart instead of letting it go ..

Story behind the piston letting go was an over boost issue..
I gave it some stick and watched two gauges go nuts.. Boost jumped from 20psi to around the 28psi mark and the stoich jumped into the red.. Rest is history

I didn't think I'd end up with another Soarer without one for 5 years, then two entered my life again within 4 months.
