Hey Nathan, got your message.

Kia ora to everyone else here. Names Eric, from Palmy.
I drive a 91 toyota soarer, image down below.
If your ever down/up my ways, hit me up. It would be nice to meet a fellow CL per.




Excuse the 2nd photo, the lip wasnt mounted at that point, was just a test fit to see how it looked.

Actually, I traded my old wheels on a new set in the colour scheme I wanted - it was much cheaper!

Also got my Cusco sways, front and rear lower chassis brace, and RCAs installed - now just need my 15mm spacer on rear to sort out the weak offset (not going as aggressive as last time though - it was 15mm front, 25mm rear spacers) Centre bore was different on new wheels, so spacer is off getting milled.

Also got some Cusco strut braces and TRD/Figs rear end bushes on the way - should handle pretty sweet soon - just in time for the single turbo

19x9.5, ET32 all round (rear will be ET17 after spacer)

Yeah, I took off the dark film (17% I think?), but I am now running 5% tint film (on headlights and taillights) which just gives it a very nice, subtle smoke, but is not obvious unless you have my car side by side with a car that hasn't had the film applied.

PS, are you a member on ClubAristo?
