Here's a few pics I took the other day. She's been running mint since replacing the turbos and a bunch of other stuff, my intercooler piping is disgraceful though and a bit leaky - new kit is on the way. I had a break in last night, needless to say it f***** me off big time. I have a smashed drivers window, they left my sounds untouched but my V1 radar and a whole lot of my clothes are gone

I've got a single turbo conversion, new front mount and nice chrome pipes one the way so you'll be seeing plenty more pics. And maybe a pic of a busted up face uf I run in to the prick that broke in to my car

Cheers mate. Yeah I know who it is, this poor white trash c*nt. My dad just claimed it under house and contents so I'm getting a couple of grand for my stuff anyway, so that's good I guess. Still a pain in the ass trying to find a window for a soarer over here though.

I'd recommend replacing your window regulator at the same time, for a smoother action.

Loads of wrecked Soarers in Auckland at the moment. Lots of people can't afford to fix them any more, or don't want to keep paying for petrol, so they end up at the wreckers. Kinda sad, but makes getting stuff like windows pretty easy.

My seats are standard as the day they came out of the factory, they're height adjustable so they can be placed wherever :-)

And yes the interior is sprayed, the seats are amongst the list of things to do, they will be refabricated to match eventually, the black interior looks better than the vomit "spruce" factory upholstery... Just my opinion, I like how it looks, aside from the fact that the seats are still grey. Cheers guys.

It's just flexi pipe, the pod is mounted right in the front grille. Makes a lot better induction and no engine bay heat :-)

It's going to be a T3T4, I think that'll do, good for 27psi apparently. Me and a mate just replaced my window, that was a prick of a job but we got it done eventually... (cheers Evan) Also, I got a leather interior to go in (cheers again Evan), I've got the back seats in and they're looking good, but the fronts are a pain in the ass due to them being electric. I actually just came down from the garage to go searching around here to find an answer.

I spent a good couple of hours on the window. From now on, breaking my window is punishable by death lol, what a prick of a job. Those damn rails! Argh.
I just found a diagram for wiring those seats up. They're gonna need some heavy duty cleaner though, almost a petrol jobbie I think

Another late night mission... The seats are all in, all the electrics are working fine aside from the back support on the drivers seat (I don't use it anyway) and the passenger seat back wont lean back or forwards... Dunno what's going on there, anyone know how to fix the problem? I'll post some pics up once I get my hands on some chemicals and get those seats looking nice.

Any help on getting the back rest of the passenger seat to move back and forward? I've searched but I can't find anything. I've spent about 4 hours of my weekend cleaning my seats, they've come up alright, still a little rough. Better than the cloth seats though, regardless.
