I love that soarer. I always thought Ueno would move onto the SC430.

So sad to see the Soarer retire, I will definately be there for its last run.

2JZ in BMW, that will be a challenge. Just the other day I saw a SR20DET Powered BMW 335 at SuperAuto Bacs, looks like the new fad here in Japan.

Booooo!

It has been said that the Soarer platform isnt the most competent one when it comes to drifting so it is probably better decision for him to abandon the Soarer in favor of something else.

Worst, I don't know about you guys, but I personally think that when you swap engines from other manufacturers its very sacrilegious

Sad to see him go but pleased to see that a toyota engine designed over 15 years ago will be used in his new platform. Turbo I6 FTW.......

status....

kinda sucks but i guess he want to try something new? should be interesting

Turbo?

since you guys will miss this vertex soarer so much i found this video on youtube of modified mag ride along with Ueno's Toyota Soarer
enjoy!

I thought so too. I'll miss the Soarer, but i'm also axious to see the beemer.

I think all of us SC3/4 owners should put in to build a CL soarer with the exact specs of the D1 machine. So who's down?

are you serious. what better platform. 3 series bmw is probably the most winniest racing platform in history. bmw know what they are doing. i have friends that are bwm fanatics that actually race their car and the stuff i learned about the 3 series almost makes me want to sell my car and jump into an E30 and go racing.

drifters change cars all the time. its not that big of a deal. at clubFR and the midwest cup we have a guy that drifted a KA-T s14 last year. switched over to a E36 M3 this year. and going to an ls1 swapped car next year. its all about finding the platform that you like.

marketing is big too. this move brings attention to D1GP and vertex. even if vertex doesnt make a single kit for sale for the E92 the talk of the community will bring them attention.

drifting is not all about going to have some fun. its a business like anything else. the jzz30 chassis is old and like with everything else the only constant is change.

im not sad to see it go. im excited to see new things to come.

the fact that they went with a 2jz is also pretty dumb. its a good motor but they should have taken a modern toyota motor such as the is350 or is-f. motorsports is where all technology develops. if they took a modern motor and developed parts for it then they would be more readily available to the public at a lower cost.

Brandon if you buy it, you need to move back to the States.

i can't wait to see that 3 series, and i hope they don't tear the soarer into pieces...
