So josh what do you like better out of a 1jz and 1uz? What motor suits the Soarer best. You're missing a Soarer too what about the 2jz?

Mate I really am not a fan of the v8, its just soo slow coming from a 1JZ vvti single turbo. But the 97 uzz31 is very comfy and cruiser material. A true GT!
But of all the soarers, I enjoy and drive the 1jz manual vvti blk on blk. Its just soo much fun and loud, then again I am still young so perhaps that plays into it.

Yeah mate will do, it has (IMO) slightly embarrasing rims so I am reluctant but I will put interior shots to begin with... so keen for a cruise in it!!!! WA Boys?

Yes the first soarer I had was a bone stock blk/blk 94 jzz31. IMO the most easy and trouble free soarer. Miss that car

Yup I think that was the blk/blk soarer i went to look at when i was looking for my first soarer. That was awhile ago maybe in 2007?

But i have to agree with ALI, you need to get those pics up soon!

So Josh you did have a 2jz soarer? That must have been even slower then the v8? My 1UZ is supercharged and I'd say it goes as good as my 1jz.

How many cars are you trying to get down to? 2 or 3?

Mate down to three, 1 turbo soarer as a weekend/track car that i can mod the bejesus out of. One soarer v8 as a daily driver to keep stock and my legnum as I need the space for my DJ business. The rest can go!

Scott yep had a jzz31 for a long time, they are actually the qucikest soarer for the first 50m or so. Light and no lag

Guys how would you rate a vvti turbo manual and auto, TT, jzz31 and uzz31 over a quartermile? Put them from quickest down and I will give you my opinion from driving them all.

Got an offer on my 97 manual vvti soarer (link below) that would make most you absolutely cringe/self harm. Sad thing is I may take close to it.

Sad thing is I know I will regret it and look for it again. What to do?

Spot on Ali. But I knew you would know from info over the years on here. I find it quite interesting how the auto box is so much quicker in a straight line. Quicker yet not as much fun.

Ali two seperate people who came and had a looksy were in the process of getting a V8 as well and while they said they had found good ones from what I know of yours and the way you treat it, my assumption was that yours would be heaps nicer. Will try to find numbers if poss. (1st guy v8 was for his GF, 2nd guy v8 was for his friends mum). Both dudes were on the foum as well.

well you would assume that a manual would be slower but how much slower? whats a quarter on a vvti ment to be anyway?

well im not a 100% happy with the state of mine ATM. few little things i need to fix once i am back from holidays, like new door trims(mine are falling apart), new front bar(the paint is starting to crack :s), new exhaust(still on stocko, which has a leak). obviously im in no hurry to sell. will probably advertise on here once i am 100% ready.
