Well I saw Gary from Tokage has his awesome drift car on here so thought I would add mine as well. Have had it about a month now and bought as a uncomplied race only import. Came with 1JZ (75000kms), Manual and LSD for the princely sum of $3500. have only had one outing at Wakefield so far and unfortunately a tyre barrier jumped out in front of me. Only panel damage which ive since tidied up a bit. Headed out to Oran Park for some more serious tyre frying.

Drift pig, love it!

How did you manage to come across the car? Was it already in Oz or did you import it personally?

yeh was already in oz. Imported as a race only import. Bit harder to come by now as they are pretty old by comparison. Most of them just get chopped up and sent as front cuts.

Adrian,

Looks very smart with the black wheels! Would be a good deal of fun on a track with the weight lightened I would imagine... :-)

Shame about the rear side panel damage - hope you get it fixed with out too much of a hole in the pocket!

Just put brand new HSD HR coilovers in all round. Strut brace is on the way.

power wise, new exhaust (straight thru no mufflers, cat etc), intercooler and some more boost. new clutch as well

What have I done ? other than strip the interior its the same as any other soarer. Keep in mind this is a race only import so the body can never ever be rego so most of the value is in the mechanical and so on.

Ahhhh, another precious Soarer owner. How cute....

It's a car. It's being driven on a race track. If it were a cattle dog it would be in cattle dog heaven.

Soarers are cool cars and would be an awesome street car. The reality is this one was imported for the purpose of racing so keeping it immaculate is less of a priority then making and steer and drive well.

They were rare Vanessa, however I've seen much more spring up recently. Could be due to the crappy market for these cars nowadays.
