Gidday guys,
Thought i'd let my fellow kiwis know that i am departing with my project of the last two and a bit years, i bought my green 93 soarer in totally standard condition and now i present it as a 5 speed manual v8 (w58 gearbox), with custom built headers and exhaust, suspension done all round and sitting nicely on 18" deep dish rims with 235's on the front and 265's on the back, it apparently chirps out 193kw and is an absolute joy of a car to drive as a manual, could never drive an auto soarer again. will upload some photos for y'all to have a look.

How come you are selling it Aaron?

How did you do the manual conversion, new bellhousing or adaptor?

Did you get it dyno'd?

Cheers

want a new toy and i have a new house i would like to put some effort into.
The manual conversion was done at a workshop in rotorua that specialises in lexus's called 'choke on the smoke racing' they provided the adaptor for the bellhousing, the car was dyno'd once the work was completed at the mentioned workshop.

That sounds like excellent value Aaron for a manual with the mods you have listed. Someone will get a great buy!

I know what I paid for my 93 and have done similar mods to yours, haven't finished the manual conversion yet though.
