| hello everybody, im from new zealand, meet my soarer...
Has a few modifications... Front mount, boost controller, wasted spark setup, r154 conversion, apexi turbo timer, 18x9 and 18x10 rims, has a straight 2.5" exhaust no mufflers. goes pretty good but really wants a big single. as does everybody else |

| It'd be the noise that would worry me. Must be way over 96dB? |

| its actually really quiet, my partner drives her 180sx 3" with mufflers and its loud as! but this is quiet with a nice harsh note under boost. and the ride itself is fine, driven daily, its about 87mm off the ground but has a low spring rate so still smooth enough to drive, just scrapes over every judder bar out there. but thats a good thing! periodic weight reduction... |

| driven hard enough I can definitely vouch for that but surprisingly with those stretched on tires and low ride height it rides really nice. My v8 UZZ31 is as low on air bags (not on bump stops but running in TEM's Hard) and 235 fronts and 255 backs and doesn't ride as nice |

| Daniel - I find my Limited is nicer to drive around town with a full tank of fuel, so that there is weight in the back. On the motorway though my Limited is a beautiful ride. |

| funny thing is a can lower it pretty much to touch the ground haha, the fact its on 18s and is still to low confuses me, but i like the look to much to raise it to a more practical height |

| i say nothing is more better then a 1JZ there easy to work on and get great exhaust sounds and pretty much you don't hear the rumble of a Dame V8 but most of all that nice sweet ssshhhhhh |

| true my old rims where 18 x 8 on the front and 18 x 9 on the rear it was funny cause when you look on the side on all you can see is the rear tires sticking out lol but i change'd them to 19's it was too low and i couldn't get out of my own drive way without scraping |
