Going tomorrow to put a deposit with my importer(JDMconnection). I've been researching this car for about 2 months now, and I have honestly had to restrain myself from making an impulse decision earlier.
Anyways, the car I'm looking for is under 40k GTTL.
I'm not sure if this car is even going to be remotely drivable in winter, so I'm not sure if I am going to body kit it or not.
Planned mods: BFI GFB Deceptor bov ASA AR2 19x8.5's with Eagle F1 GSD3's Tanabe NF 210 drop springs de-cat Greddy Bspec Boost controller Do-Luck full aero
If any of you alberta boys want to get a group buy going with some of these parts, I'm all for it.

Hi Sean, its good to see that Canadian's are also into Soarer's as we do.... I have a question as I will be in your town Edmonton on the 2nd on Nov. Would like to know the best way to get to Invermere BC... Having trouble booking a Greyhound bus....from Auz.... may have to walk???? I think it is about 610 km to Invermere. Any ideas? there are 3 in our party. Thanks

Hey Sean you're the fourth Soarer in edmonton as far as i know. I also know your car. I got mine through Jdm Connection too. I'm in and out of their shop every once in a while. Will's a great guy to deal with and won't just leave you hanging.
That car that you're interested in is the Green ~38k kms one? I've seen it a few times, sat in it... I had one sourced straight from Japan. We'll have to get the soarers together and start meeting and cruising.
I'm sure that I'll be talking to you plenty. To the best of my knowledge the only other guy on Soarer Central in Edmonton right now is Joseph Chaffee. All three of us have TT's and I have a GTTL as well, I don't know about Joseph.
Also if you're looking for parts, Larry, the detailer and electronics guy there has a lot of connections for parts. He can probably get most of what you need, and he might be able to line up some group buys. I haven't asked him yet but after dealing with him it's definately something to ask. I'll talk to him and see what happens.
Anyways, this site will probably be the most important resource for your car.

Don: Thanks!
Bruce: In regards to getting to Invermere, try checking from Calgary. Most flights of people wanting to go to the rockies come through Calgary, so that's where to motorcoaches generally run. Try Greyhound, 1 800 661-8747
Scott: Mine isn't the one that he has here, he is sourcing one from japan. I don't want to pay a premium of 3-5 grand just because it is here already haha. I know another guy that's getting a TT too, his is coming in November or so from Redline. Soon we'll take over from all the Skyline fanboys ;)
