Kia Ora and G'day
i got my new toy off trademe for $2800.
over 300000ks on the clock, a leaky power steering pump, and 2 bald tyres (bad alignment, not skids)
so far i've cut the intake box up to let her breath easier, and got some new rims (17' shadow chromes) and tyres. next on the list is the leaking pump, a new front bumper and paint touch up, and a few interior bits, then ill start the hunt for more power.
i'm still deciding between supercharging it or trying for some decent N/A power (cams, exhaust, intake etc)

I couldn't quite understand, were you wanting some of this drink??





Hmmm I recall seeing that soarer for sale.

For the money, you could have got an example with half the mileage, for example my immaculate last owned Soarer only cost me $4600 with 140,000 kilometers on it.

Never the less, hope you got the dollars to do the repairs. I wouldn't really recommend supercharging unless you had a lower km engine with higher compression, etc. Asking for problems stressing out a more worn motor. But for little money you could get a fresher second hand engine.

yea definitely wouldn't be working on the current engine, id do the work on a low ks one and swap it out. they're cheep enough ^^
i have $10000 worth of receipts from the last owner. he didn't mess around with much he just replaced everything that went wrong- wich is great for me.

as for the price- ive only been watching trademe prices and they all seem to be upwards of 4k so i'm happy with it.
