So used to have a Soarer v8 and when I crashed it I decided to forget sports cars. After driving bombs I started to miss the soarer so I decided to buy another.
Bought a 1994 Toyota Soarer from Car Sales.
Has done 174,000kms
Was looked after and interior is kept in great condition.
Only thing wrong is the door trims are beginning to crack (common problem).
Body is in good nick just the rear bumper and wing is fading,the bumper has a big mark(can see in the pictures) and the headlights are starting to yellow (buying glass headlights)
Tried to find as much problems as I could but the guy pretty much looked after it but that's about it.
Took it for a drive and was surprised how quite it was cruising.
We negotiated and 30 minutes later we came to a deal and signed the papers to me.
Has the Following done to it
Apexi panel filter
DBA 4000 Series front discs
EBC Greenstuff pads
Buddy Club P1 Racing II Plus Wheels, Gun Metal Grey 19 x 9 (F) & 19 x 9.5 (R)

OK Alarm system is installed and got a free Turbo smart boost gauge with cup from a friend and installed it last week wish i didn't put it in front of the steering wheel now since it blocks the clock lol Reading 11psi and doesn't spike.
Not sure what to go for for Coil overs D1 Spec coil overs Daniel is selling here for $999 or grab the BC V1 Design VS for $1149 from Just Japs.
Not going to do track work maybe some runs at WSID from time to time.Just gonna be a daily really.

If its going to be a daily drive, don't put the coil overs in. Unless that is you don't mind the harsher ride, but improved handling (so long as they are setup correctly).

He is in his early 20s, he won't mind the ride. You should have seen the Rx-7 I was driving in my early 20s...more extreme than my track car in some areas. Young, dumb, and full of cash. No kids, mortgage, wife. Spend all your money on cars, entertaining yourself, and alcohol. God I miss my early 20s.
[edit] Have a look at the suspension of some of the guys running quick times in street cars on here. Hard coilovers may not be what you are chasing.

Look up 'Gixxer Drew' suspension on supraforums. (just google it) and do that setup. Best suspension setup you'll get for under 4k (it'll cost about 1k and a little effort).
