Hi everyone
I have been a follower of the soarer central forums since before I finally got a soarer a couple of months ago, and I've got to say the site is a great source of info on all things soarer. Thanks guys.
I got a '92 TT earlier this year without much done to it. It had lexus badges on it so I don't really know what model it is.
So far I've really only done some led swaps because some of the globes were gone but in the future I reckon I will do a Blue Dash conversion, FMIC and Exhaust.
I hope I'll get to catch up with some of you Victorians at the Great Ocean Rd cruise day, I'll try and make it to that.

Hello Greg. Look on the VIN plate for the frame number and trans/axle and put them up here. Then you will be able to find out exactly what form of TT it is.

Well, we know yours is auto and not manual, and lacks LSD. However, I think I meant to ask for something else in Frame. It will look like ACPVZ or ACPZZ. The first is what we call here the pov pack and the second is the 'L' version, with power seats, leather-trimmed steering wheel and wood panelling. Do you happen to know if it has ABS and traction control? I think they were optional on earlier TTs (not that I have a TT so I am not especially knowledgeable about them). Things like sunroof, spoilers and rear wiper were options.

Yep Auto, ACPZZ, Power Seats, Leather Wheel, Wood Panelling, Cruise, ABS, TRC, Sunroof, Spoiler, Rear Wiper, no Airbags.
With the power seats the Passenger one moves forward and back automatically when you let someone get in the back, the Drivers doesn't. I assume this is so you don't lose your comfy position. When you say spoilers did you mean just the rear one or is there a factory front one too? Mine has a front lip which doesn't look standard and I don't think I have seen anyone else with the same.
Another question, one of the wood panels has gone sort of milky is there anyone who knows how to fix this or should I just live with it?

You can officially call your car a Soarer 2.5GT Twin Turbo L Sounds like your buyer ticked all the option boxes, which is nice. I gather your car was a July build in which case it was the first of the updates on the original model. You should have an external temperature display in the dash.

Your driver's seat is behaving normally. I do not know of a factory front spoiler so you may have an aftermarket lip. No side skirts added?

If you put up a pic of the front of your car, someone here (not me) will be able to identify the lip.

The front is not factory but after that I know nothing about aftermarket plastic bits . The wood looks pretty good even in that photo.

And you've done well with a A/C display thats nice and clear. They're about 800 turnips to replace.

Climate control looks great! Did you add the woodgrain around that or was it already on? If you got it, which manufacturer is it? Best I've seen! That front lips not bad, need some side skirts to match tho.
Great ride, welcome!
