G'day, I'm Grant. I've always been(and still am) a big advocate for American muscle. Always thought rice cars were bullspit power and they sound like vacuum cleaners. Soarer caught my eye a little while back. Okay so it wasn't a chev... but they were definitely not to be classed with the many Nissan abominations that terrorize our streets. I kinda saw Soarers as a cute little Asian corvette. Then by chance, I found myself in a position to buy one. It didn't take much convincing. By the time I hit 2nd, I was in love.
She's a 1992 JZZ30. Stock for the most part. Comfortable, stylish and punchy as. I've got some ideas to start modding, and will share as it comes. For now though.. I hate that damned white paint. Would love to respray at some stage, though I've also considered- rather than spending a small fortune on painting- tinting the windows with like a green chrome and painting the wheels to match. Unique, cost effective... possible.

Welcome Grant. I am a "yank" convert from way back, but have been into Soarers for about 9 years.
Best bang for your buck going. You will get addicted. Personally, I like the pearl white, but quite like my current silver one.
Enjoy, and read a lot on here and learn.

The addiction thing is spot on - mine was fully registered on Monday and I've taken it everywhere. The only problem is that my wife is starting to love it as much as I do and keeps knocking off my keys...

My wife is not fond of my Soarer - she hates the heavy doors. Sadly it'll be going in the near future anyway - time for something newer.

But those doors are good for daily arm exercise!

I'd keep the one I have as a project car, but we only have a two car garage.
