^This.

They are one of most hideous things on the road lol.

PS, now my mum says she doesn't want a soarer. -Rips out hair-

Criteria:

Under $15k

Non-depreciating

Must be euro

Must promote a "serious image"

Typical asian mum wanting the world for nothing -_-"

Looked at and turned down:

E39 540i with 160kms, would have been able to get for $12k. Was inspected, came up with $2.5k worst case scenario for repairs = $14.5k for mint 540i.

E36 325i convertible - roof slightly tattered on the INSIDE...

E36 328i convertible - $15-16k. Best E36 bar my M3 that I've been in - $too much

E36 328i convertible - able to get for $12k. Was inspected, came up with $3-4k repairs. Good pass on this. Engine wasn't too great.

V8 Soarer X1 - able to get for 7k. Didn't inspect, clunked hard into drive. Good pass.

V8 Soarer X2 - Perfect. Smooth, quiet and much faster than other V8. 170kms = can't buy. =/ $9k

TT Soarer - Piece of shit rofl. 5 Min drive = steam coming from under bonnet. Wanted $12k lol.

E230 W210 - 110kms, full books. $9k, cheap! A/C broken, needs new diff.. wtf

God damnit, I give up.

anyone that says they're not sexy must like macs. ie: are dead to me.

lol!!!!

yeah - what the HELL is it with asians and hondas?!?!?!

i have NEVER been able to understand what the chinese obsess over honda for.. can anyone shed some light on why?

but yes - accord euro are nice... i prefer standard accord 20 fold though.

:blink:

and - tenfour - yes that lexus SC430 is heinous. but their styling potential is amazing.. :)

i think so anyway.

LOL!!!!!! a NOODLE!?

never heard that one..

well mind you alvin.. i drive a soarer.. so to me "noodle" handling will be a godsend compared to my Z30's ... hungry jacks ultimate double whopper handling :blink:

i'm not seeking approval from you guys for this.. i'm gonna be keeping my soarer for years to come!!! took me 8 months to find.. i won't be giving up on it anytime soon :)

hahah I like noodles, my car doesnt handle that bad!, needs a wheel alignment really bad though, just pulled the front wheels off and there is like a 35deg wear angle on the inside edge of the tread.

Oh and if you do sell your car, I call shotgun!, just make sure the grasshoppers are cleaned out kthx

If you can't notice wheel wobble when you're driving it then how bad is 'not that bad?' You don't notice wheel wobble in a Cadillac, which are great fun to drive in their own way, but modern cars don't have the same feel. They should be precise.

For ye mum; 7 Series? Audis are good value too. Audi A4 Quattro? Some A6s around there too. An early A8 if you like petrol stations. The A4 Wagons look pretty slick in black with chrome roof racks. If you really like petrol stations you could go for a 1980s Mercedes SEC. Maybe a 500SEC? 560s are a bit more money.

VVTi conversion. I read a thread on it ages ago but can't find it anywhere. Apparently you can fit the VVTi gear to a non-VVTi Supra. Anyone got any clue who hard/much it would be?

Like I said, I'm planning to keep it closer to stock so the argument that the VVTi isn't as good for making big power is of no concern as if I wanted a 1,000hp monster I'd do it properly and put a 350 chev into a Fiat 500. Bolisimo...

The most I'd be chasing is 400-450hp 'one day.' But I want to keep it quiet on the highway so even that might be difficult. If I find myself with deep enough pockets for a full build I'd probably get a second one (or an NSX).

Wat?

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.

The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly.
