Hey people. Some of you will remember me from the good old days of 2005/2006. Had to get rid of my old Soarer when I was hit with financial woes. But now I've dug my way out of the poo and I am back!
I bought Rod Iseppi's Soarer off him over the weekend, and it feels REALLY good to be driving one again. Soarers really always will be my first love.  |

Yeah, I'm in two minds about the exhaust. I think I'll rebuild the whole system when I get headers later this year, but for now I'll live with it. |

It's a custom colour - previous owner is a panel beater/spray painter and he did it himself. So it's the only one. |

Can't say too much for that spoiler and those lame tacky cannons. |

cmon mike leave the spoiler alone.. it suits it.. the exhaust wasnt my choice, but it was better than the stock system.
the colour is a factory toyota colour called seal grey. tho it never came out on the soarers. |

Yes my friend, there are still some of us old dudes (4yrs.+) still hanging around.

Mmmm I've noticed the numbers of Senior Soarer Enthusiasts have been dropping as of late.
Bit of a shame, but that's what happens. |

Took a couple of pictures of my Soarer today - the ocean was looking amazing, so I thought I'd try and get a good background. Although I think it was just too bright for my camera to handle. But I thought I'd drop them in anyway for Mike to express his displeasure at.

WOW !
Yeh i like the rear spoiler mate, something different and by no means offensive.
Ive seen worse cannons though so dont feel too bad. Perhaps just buy some nice offset oval mufflers and replace them.
I remember you from the days of old also mate, i signed up originally at the end of 2004 i think and have stuck around during the "re-shuffles" and so on.
Sadly ive just sold my Soarer but i have not ruled out buying another one as yet, im considering a late model vvti JZZ31 non turbo as that should limit my ability to spend silly amounts on the engine.
Anyways - welcome back mate !
Great looking car. |

As I said, they're going to go. But I'll wait and get the whole exhaust system done at once. No point spending money to get rear mufflers now, and then have to spend more to get them reattached to a new system in 6 or 12 months time.
But I'll be getting new headers, metalcat cats, X-pipe, resonators (if necessary) and mufflers all done within 12 months, for sure. All twin 2.5", with 2.5" outlets from the mufflers so the stock tips will fit over them. Then it'll look very stock from the back. |

Yeah, currently the exhaust is 3rd on my list of things to sort out, after the EMV screen repair and new rims. Apologies to the previous owner, but black rims look too much like steelies after the hubcaps have fallen off. |
