jamesmark Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 If you want to want to buy a Soarer have a look here ... http://http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=127492 You won't get a better one. That's more than double what I want to spend on a Soarer, I am looking at the Soarer as only a stop gap to keep my NCB going. If I like it then maybe I will keep it and start modding but if I was going to spend £5600 to start with I would buy Supra. Still a gorgeous car mate.

Andy-No-Knee Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 James, I can see where you are coming from worring about the cost of parts, and I can only say how it has been with me. I would not own any other car. Mine is a 91. When I decide it is too old I will try and get a newer (99?) from Japan and start modding again. Very good examples can be had for basically peanuts, but you run the risk there of the old owner finding something is wrong and needs fixing and then when he finds out the price selling it instead. The parts are expensive compaired to Modeao prices, but on a par with a Supra. Same for modding parts. As for repairing them follow this link http://www.smiffiessoarersanctuary.co.uk/ Smiffie has been working on them for years, and is the only UK place to be able to fix the suspention on a 32, the full 4 wheel steer and self leveling Soarer. I live in London, and still take my car there if it is something I cant do myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Cheers Chris, the max I want to spend is about £2k thats why I am not to fussed about either a TT or V8. But after the rescent post by yourself and also Chris Wilson the best option would be the TT. And like the Supra and not fussed about running costs as I expect that with these type of cars, unlike the newbie's that buy them then don't have the cash to support them.

Guest infin1tty Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 is there a way to convert auto into manual ..as Ive been looking around and no luck with manual ... all autos... how much would a conversion be ? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-No-Knee Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Yes you can convert an auto to manual. You can manualise the auto box, or if you want a true manual then get a MK3 sup box and in it goes. No idea on the price as I havent bothered to do that, I'm running a fully programmable tranny ecu and an Apexi power fc for the engine. There is a lot of info on doing that on the Soarer World website. There are also quite a few manuals about, you just have to look for them and there will be a bit of a price difference too.

jamesmark Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Looking back on this, I can't remember why I never ended up buying one of these. Nice seeing some of those nice examples again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
