Damn-near Everything that comes out of Thailand these days = win.

However, i wish they would have listed more specifics about the suspension on this Soarer besides just "Ikeya Formula Footwork". I assume the spec list on the suspension must be insane.

its just a small v8, it wasnt meant to be fast it was just meant to push our heavy cars.

Loving the exhuast

edit: I love the 1UZ-FE. Its a great motor and its reliability is beyond phenomenal. They pull really nice and respectfully and you gotta admit they look pretty : ) My bro's 1992 SC400 is a monster and still pulls beautifully.
