Hi everyone,
My name is Jason and I live up in Maleny near the sunshine coast,I have been lurking on this site for a long time, both before I got my soarer and after.I think I have been following the "Lurk before posting rule!" a little to closely... that and Iv been a lazy ass for not saying hello sooner!
Anyway I got my car off one of the members here about 9 months ago and was also lucky to have Lew from Marlew Performance to check it over before I got it, best thing I ever did.The cars I was looking at in car yards were so over priced and most of them looked rough and raggedy.
I'm really happy with the Soarer so far, Its so much fun to drive and the amount of on road presence these cars have is pretty amazing for there age (timeless).
My car came with the following: 1jz TT 5 speed box full 3" exhaust aftermart LSD triple plate clutch (crazy heavy on the foot) front JIC coilovers Rays 17" rims Hks FCD Blitz blow off valve old boost gauge Full leather interior Sunroof
Things that Iv changed,fixed,added: Blits boost gauge Manual ECU Painted brakes Lexus GS300 17" rims, polished DNA cold air box and pod filter Rear Cradle Bushes Phillips Crystal Vision globes Turbosmart Dual Stage Boost Controller(need to fit)
Things to come: Front mount inter cooler Steel wheel Turbos Lews Dumps After mart Audio Money making machine
Well thats about it for now, I have probably forgotten something but hope to start coming on cruises and meeting some other soarer owners.
Cheers Jason

Thanks Guys,
Yeah these cars sure are beasts Scott, I can come up the range to Maleny which is quiet a steep climb, in 5th gear and doing over 100 with the car wanting more Mind you ,I used to driving a 4 cylinder 2L ford up the range so I guess its like comparing a hot air balloon to a jet fighter!
I nearly didn't get the Lexus GS300 rims Mike as I had my heart set on some deep dish rims but after doing a few searcher's of the forms I started to learn about offsets and so on and after seeing one of the members here with a polished set on there car and finding out they have a factory offset 50, I was sold
