Hey Guys, names Trent and im from Tamworth NSW :-)
I have a KE30 Corolla with a 1GGTE in it you may have seen around Toymods, well this is my new toy lol :-)Anyway after trawling the forums for a few months and gathering all the valuable information on this site, i thought it was duty to post some pics up of my soarer :-)

Basically its a late 96' VVT-i Soarer, that was imported in 05' and has only one owner other than me since import.

Had 98,000kms when I got it now got 106,000kms, Done the 100k service as soon as i got it :-)
Also split the headlights and resealed them (got no recent pics of that yet but i polished them all up)

It's also got genuine 19" koenig 3 piece wheels that the previous owner dreadfully rashed them to pieces :-(

Plans are, get rid of the stupid Lexus badges, lower it (already got me springs)
And get some deep chrome dished black wheels :-)

anyway here are the pics :-)

When you take the silver cover off its got a black cover underneatth, that's prob what your thinking about Matt lol.

Thanks for the comments guys, Does anybody know if you can get turbo back exhausts for these, or custom the way to go?

Very nice Trent. Re exhausts, unless you can find something decent from one of the Jap importers (usually too expensive), your best option would be to find a good exhaust shop and have something custom made.
