Default The new romance has begun! 56k read a book.

Well, in 2 hours or so I'm going to say goodbye to my beloved JDM 93 Soarer TT. It has served me well during the years and I will definitely miss it.

Goodbye Alyssa...

BUT I'm excited to get my new car, a JDM 97 Soarer 2.5GT with (1JZ with VVTi update) and 51k on the clock (or around 31k miles!). I don't care if it looks like it's gonna rain today I'm giving the new one a full detail

More pics when I get back from the dealer

Just beautiful. I can see the RHD. How many imported soarers are there in the US?

Very nice JDM 97 Soarer 2.5GT with (1JZ with VVTi update)

You should put the old wheels on to the new Soarer

Show us some interior pics!!

Cheers
sc.Fred - I'm keeping the car the way it is for a while (key words... for a while ) as I love the smoothness and quiteness of the car But first on my list is to install my HID kit from my old Soarer. After that (when money starts to come in again) I'm either looking at getting coilovers (most likely Tein CS... fingers crossed!) or a set of nice wheels (I'm thinking Volk GT-C's in 18x8" front and 18x9" rears... the thought of damaging 19's on Oz's crappy roads is a worrying thought plus tyres for 19's are hell expensive).

BTW, if I were to get GT-C's with the mentioned sizes, what offsets would you recommend? I'd love for the wheels to be inline with the guards with a slight drop in ride height (nothing major, maybe 1").

Here's a few pics... I'll take more tomorrow before work
