Price to pay for a Manual Soarer

[bbq1988]

yeap... i have sorted out the vtnz problem, just have to book it for a saturday morning

[Lloyd]

silly as it may seem, im still looking at it

This sums it up. Its like those people who come to a mechanic and say "Should I buy this twin turbo Legacy?" The answer is obvious and couldn't be more clearly said to them. And guess what they buy?

[Mr.Phreak]

An overpriced, dodgy converted Soarer??

[bbq1988]

im going to take it for a compression test, and the works at vtnz. we checked the conversion, it was done properley, no cutting/bending of the x-member.

Also just did a Pre inspection checkup thingy over the phone, all clear on that

[Dell'Orto]

Is it this one? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Toyota/auction-91503543.htm

looks like a bit of keyword spamming there

Got some pretty hard core

IRITODIUM

sparkplugs.

Must be cross bred platinum/iridium ones

Hope you're not planning on making any more power than it already has

The one in the TM link?
Why not? Can easily push a wad of extra power out of it....

[bbq1988]

aslong as it passes the tests, i will be happy, not planning much apart for intercooler at this point

I think he's more meaning for the sake of the W series box.

I've got a W58 behind my 1jz, and it's making 234rwkw and holding up perfectly fine, and I'm not always nice to it either...

[Mr.Phreak]

I was talking about the G/box, I imagine there was a reason Toyota decided to fit the R154 in factory. And I realise a W58 will handle a fair bit of abuse.

[bbq1988]

its a start in the right direction from the curren though isnt it

[vvega]

personally i say backward...you can shine shit as much as you like but its still shit

[bbq1988]

this is hard, its a beautiful car, awsome to drive, i fell in love with it. all thats wrong is alittle blue smoke which could be a big problem, or could just be caused by the wrong oils and pluged breathers.. its a big gamble

Do you earn enough to gamble with 10K like that?
Yea sure it could be fine with 1/200$ spent but what if it goes the other way and you need to get a new engine etc?

[bbq1988]

thats exactly what im thinking.. if someone else had a nice condition manual soarer id give them 10k right about now, anyone selling one?

[slighty_sykotic]

Was a manual twin turbo Soarer in the Buy/Sell on Friday for $6500 with something like 47,000kms on it. Don't go for a half rooted one when there are plenty of others around for less money

Dont you read bqq1988?


Seriously, open your eyes.


You don't need to spend that much on that POS car. Think people are starting to get annoyed at you because you ask them if you should buy it, the answer is no, yet you ignore them. Ethier listen to them or go buy the car.

Start with nicely asking if HRT has details on that car or still has the buy/sell.

[bbq1988]

i read. i was looking at THAT one. not any other one. every car is different. i am not interested in a car in the south island. just interested in ones from the waikato/auckland area.

[Mr.Phreak]

@ 47k

[bbq1988]

i am sorry for the muck around guys, i do apreciate your help
