I thought it was about time.....

Postby UTERUS » Sun Jan 15, 2006 7:40 pm

To buy a new car, it was a long and tiresome adventure deciding what i wanted and finally settled on one of these fine pieces of (insert word here).

Image

It is V8 and has twin 2" exhausts from what i can see and the aftermarket WEDs wheels with the crazy jinglish writing on the centre caps.

I am very happy with how it drives, i picked it up friday lunchtime and took it to whangerai for the weekend. It has a bit more poke than what i thought it would have and found it quite fun actually being able to pass people.

Nice, they have a lot of potential to be very VIP. Think 19x10 rears, very very low and nice dark tints 8) Still a slushy I take it?

There was a centrifugal supercharger on trade me. Perfect for a soarer. Exactly like a turbo but runs of the crank pulley. $2250... all parts in perfect condition... Unfortuantely i cant find the auction for it.. :x

Manual it!
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

i noticed this soarer has the cannon style mufflers... they dont really work on soarer really stick out to much etc... oval ofset mufflers look the best. Are you going to leave the exhaust how you bought it or do something else to it?

Hrmm I would have to say that, that is one of the very few Soarers I've seen with good looking rims that's not Deep Dish.

IMO Soarers need nice Deep Dish rim to properly complement it. :wink:
