Finaly the images worked... arrghhh....

Well as u can see it is Blue... :P

I paid $15 000 for the car and in the end $16 000 to get it all on road etc.

Another thing is the array of badges it came with, the original owner didn't know if her was athur or martha...

It has an SC 400 Badge, then a Toyota Badge, then a Lexus Badge, then the Limited Badges...

I don't think he knew which to pick so he picked the lot...

So... first thing I want to do i get the moisture out of the rear talilight (i will be doing that later today now that i have some time. Then I am going to see where I can order the lexus L's and a SC 300 badge....

But yeah, this is my car now as it is, i know it ain't all that compared to some others, but i like it and being a student and the price i paid, i can't complain... it is better then the folk's cars...

I'll trade you my rear same colored backseats for yours.

You want to make your car look as much as a US version as possible so you can give me your rear back seats with headrests and I'll give you mine that have built-in headrests...

How's that sound?

Let me know if you want to get new badges, I'll hook you up.

Tony

Wow bad *** soarer. The back seats are really nice and the car overall is in great shape. What year and how many miles?

Everything looks so nice. What are those two things on each side of the sub? Did they put tweeters in the back *** well for the soarers? Great car tho. How did you get it imported if you dont mind me asking?

well.... i'm sitting here trying to get the condensation out of the tail lights...

i wan't to put some skirts on it, and perhaps change the front spoiler to something a little more original, i'm even thinking of spending a few days on a cad program and seeing what i can come up with, nothing too gordy, just something nice, simple, curved and unique. I want to try to locate a crtridge for the stacker aswell as i'm missing that. Then a new exhaust, from the turbos back would be nice... perhaps a better torque converter and some neons / coloured LEDs inside the car. I'm going to replace a few lights with coloured ones inside this week, i'll post a few pics a bit later once it is done. Oh, and replace the rear shockers, the rear left one has gone dang, and it means 'cause i have 265's on the rear, they rub when fully loaded in the boot and rear, but just the left-hand side one... so gotta fix that. Apart from that, i seen alot of people with boost controllers and turbo timers, and i must admit i like them, but at the end of the day, you can have as many buttons and as many fairy lights as u like, it is what is under the hood that counts.

I bought the car as i enjoy power, but i also enjoy comfort, so thus this seemed the logical step. I also like the fact that they are a rounded car opposed to a squared off lancer etc... I like curves, as most guys can appreciate
