What made you buy a Soarer when you have a Skyline or two?

The skylines are my track/drift car so they are not very streetable. I use to have a 95 corolla for DD but then it was written off in an accident. Toyota was always known for its reliability in my mind so I decided to import a soarer since I found good deal in Japan. Skyline are nice but not so good for daily. Beside..i like auto for daily.

And VS-xx is always my favorite!!!

thats why the front bumper got tear off. I am going to raise it 1/8" and it will be fine. Vancouver roads are pretty nice and there are not much potholes or bumps. Also most of the places I go don't have a steep driveway or speed bump. They only place I cant get into is my own garage..

I had a Skyline before I migrated to Toyota. But my r32 was a DD so to speak. Nice car, great milage, fantastic to drive in the city, but me being six foot six the bliss didnt last very long. Smashing your back on the B pillar on every entry to the car got rather trivial (was a 4 door).

Anyways, I look foreward to seeing progress with your Soarer. If it makes you feel any better, I cant keep a front bumper either

To give you an idea of how lucky you are, my car is oh-so-slightly lowered (Supra struts & springs) and I'm worried about scraping on a lot of roads around here. Indiana for the lose.

Love the wheels!

Which color have you decided on??

The more simple the color the more VIP it will look in my opinion.

As for the colors you mentioned they all sound like alot of fun!

Pink flake? Now thats unique!
