Hi Ladies and Gent's
I recently brought a V8 soarer Limited with TEMS and GPS, and airbagged suspension.. roughly 1 month ago.
At first i was skeptical about the performance considering the weight of the car, and my old man was the first to test drive it before me drving it home.
i can say now that i have no feer for the lack of performance i THOUGHT this car had, it certainly take's off on lower gears after a rolling start.
stop start is not too great but hey, its auto so im not even going to try anything silly.
Over all im VERY impressed with the car, it being a 91 model, they had technology back then that most other car manufacturers couldn't implement into their luxury coupe's and sedans.
basicaly anything you can think of, is electric and working. interior is IMAC, no tears, rips, broken plastic.. NOTHING
just the TV screen needs servicing, common on all soarers i assume..
just a few for now.. engine bay is MICKY MOUSE! spotless not a single oil leak..
car has factory TEMS suspension, japanese GPS, climate control..all electrics, leather..woodgrain.. tv.
20 inch wheels body kit which i think finish's it off..not OVER done.
exhaust tips
soon to get the Lexus SC400 badges put over the Soarer ones, just makes it look classy, nothing against toyota what so ever.
apart from whats listed.. i cant think of anything else to add..
im not going to molest the dash and remove bits and crap like that.
i have fitted a dvd player in the glove box for the time being, nice neat job, wires poking through a small 20c hole at the back, so it keeps me happy to play dvds ahaha
thanks for reading i look forward to cruising and meeting more of you thanks

Welcome to the club Jengiz,
Your new car looks very clean and tidy indeed! I dont know about the Lexus badge idea though ahahah... its a long running battle on this site about what badges should be put on.
I have seen some BLACK badges getting around and i reckon they look sweeeeeet

yes, i know the toyota badge has 2 holes behind it,
i can put the Lexus badge there i gues.. the big L.
but i dont know if the pins on the back of the L badge are the same distance apart as the Toyota badge i was trying to slice it away with fishing wire the other month, its a dam tricky process..!!!

Hi Jengiz, Welcome. Tidy ride mate. Car wash pic made me chuckle, think i have a photo of me and every car i had bought after the first wash Is that an aftermarket lip on the front of your stock front end? Looks like the one i was trying to chase up. (missus smashed mine into a corolla)

I am not going to comment on that Miles, i didnt purchase the car because i want to thrash it and end up rapped around a tree, i purely purcahsed it because after i test drove it, i KNEW this was the car for me..for the next few years at my budget.
After all, you purchase the car that makes your heart throb the most..
And for me, if that mean's bending the law, out of my favour, then im willing to do it.
Thats my desicion.
And RICK, im not sure what the name or brand of the lip is on the front bar, yes its a stock bar with the lip on, i think its sexy
Well enough said today from me,
your all a lively bunch, im going home now, work is over ahaha

Front lip is a Vertex Lip kit. Comes with them sideskirts and rear lip too. Check the Team Jetspeed website, or Carmate.com. I have dealt with one of them, and do not really recommend if your not local.

Miles is right, under the new rules any 8 cylinder or turbo is a restricted vehicle- that's if you got your license after July 2008. Under the old restrictions the v8s were just legal, but TTs weren't.

Just put an SC300 badge on the back and tell the cops it's a NA 3.0L V6! if they ask to pop the bonnet... the bloody lever is broken again... hehe good luck with that!

I had the joke of my life the other day at the office. This young lady who work with me came up to me and asked "Is your car a skyline?" I turned and looked at her like WTF!! Are you serious..."No it's a soarer." I said. She comes back the next day, I told my boyfriend about your car and he says that they are not for racing....he just got a skyline." I told her to tell her boyfriend to bring his dead car and let me stomp a mudhole in his backside. She told him and he parried out. He said he has to get his engine ready. I told her that we could line up stock on stock. He's scared. I have under my belt, beaten 2 mustangs 8 cylinder supercharged....i think the guys who were driving couldn't drive; an Evo, an Impreza, a 180sx tuned and a skyline. These cars are Beasts. I have a stock soarer auto tt so I know if I put the time and effort into it it'll be ridiculous.
