In the latest Modified Magazine is a feature on a 1989 Toyota Soarer. The car looks great, a fantastic restoration. The rear wheels are 335-35-17 in size. That let's you know it packing some pretty serious power to require tires that meaty. The engine, a 2JZ pushing 1200 hp. It's a Supra transplant. It's worth it to buy the mag just for this feature. I hope the picture works.

 

Engine mods on the OG Soarer:
cosworth pistons
HKS H-type connecting rods, T51-R turbo, exhaust manifold, 280 degree cams, slide cam pulleys)
sard wastegate
titanium exhaust
polished head
fully balanced and treated crankshaft
greddy oil cooler
bosch fuel pump (x4)
NOS (x2)

900 hp, 1200 with NOS

Just goes to show you can do anything with enough cash.

 

nice

 

I love those things!

 

the best part was the all metal wide body. not many people are that good any more

 

2JZ + anycar =

 

I love old school Soarers. There is one on ebay right now that is in the U.S. for cheap, but obviously you would have to jump through a million hoops to get it road legal. Reggiek, excellent find. I'll be sure to pick up the magazine.

 

cant mess with the classics

 

280 degree cams.. I bet that makes it idle pretty rough, but 1200 horses, dayum!

 

Thanks. I recently started noticing the OG Soarers and it's amazing that they can be modded to handle gobs of power. This one has an engine transplant but even the stock engine can handle lots more power.
The current issue of Modified Mag has other cool features besides the Soarer. There's a sweet looking 240 with gobs of power and a beautiful bluish purple paint with Advan wheels. It has a nice interior and is set up for street and track use. There's a turbo 350z, too. Just get the mag, I don't want to spill all the beans.

 

i know there was a guy on the SF with a soarer front end on a late 80s early 90s toyota, can't remember which one but it looked great.

 

If its black with bronze 5zigen rims its a soarer frontend on a mk3. Looks real good

 

I knew I'd seen this Soarer somewhere before. Check out the image I attached. This Soarer is featured in the Soarer HyperRev book listed under a company called Infini. Sorry for the crappy scan, but check it out anyway:

 

i think that's it. i need to find some pics of that car, it really made me want a supra/soarer project car.

 

heres one for sale and many more.......
