Unfortunately my suspension (or lack of) isn't making me confident to paint and install the kit just yet. So....I begin the wait for my coilovers. But I won't leaving you hanging, my friend is going to have his kit painted and installed soon



Henry is just too excited to drive something FR again...wait.....where's the car?



Intercooler blingness...too bad that IC is for an S14, not the Soarer...



test fitting, the quality and fit is excellent.....notice the steering wheel....it wasn't a typo when I called this car a soarer....

I thought your car was black? Is the kit being installed on your car or is that another Soarer that you have?

That's my friend's soarer, yes, it's a real rhd JDM soarer with the 1J. My car is black but i'll be painting it white when the kit goes on. My ghetto springs are too soft and I'm worried about cracking the front lip in a driveway until I get stiffer suspension up front. Sooooo, I'm ordering coilovers first before I put my kit on.

Oh, and I don't have quads but I do have watermelon launchers...

Thats not Henry as in Nitekids fame is it ?

White !!! Oh man I think you should keep it black. If you do go white I'm so cruising down to Cali for a photoshoot !

Fawk Soarers are so cheap. I was looking at them yesterday. (Easy to import them into Canada)
8900 CDN shipped for a kitted, 5spd 2.5 Soarer with 70,000kms ? Yes please.

Here's a pic of my buddies 1997 Sc300 5-speed NA-T (he's had the phenix kit for a couple years now)... He's actually got the car for sale right now. (i'm not saying where, but it's easy to find)
I had another buddy that imported these but his shop got messed up by katrina... not sure if he still does... (I came super close to buying one myself)

EDIT: The front bumpers can be had from JP for around 800.00...
Attached Thumbnails .....it's heeeeeeere-e7_12.jpeg
