Well i thought it was about time i put my car in here. I have been a bit of a car whore in my 4 - 5 years of driving. I have owned a VH commodore (i rebuilt the motor then put it into a guardrail), a VB commodore (to allow the VH motor to still be used), a 1974 Mazda 929 (RX4 look alike), and finally the soarer.
I was driving the Mazda 929 which was very loud and fun to just thrash. When i saw a Yellow soarer, in the trading post. well i had heard of soarer's and thought they were pretty cool and the fact that it was yellow sealed the deal. I bought it and sold the Mazda (which i was a little sad to see go as i really liked the old car).
But it was all worth it. The soarer is a 1985 with digi dash, cruise control, electric everything, 5 speed manual, touch panel climate, air purifier, metal sun roof, just about everything you would ever want. i think i was ripped off as i paid 4G about a year ago for it (it isn't in perfect condition), but you shouldn't live in the past.
Anyway it seemed to go hard but it takes a while to get there (its torque is rated at 5600rpm!!! which is high) i ran a 17.705 @ 126.39Kph in it at willobank which i was happy with. I have also fitted a full sound system to it and mirror tinted the windows.
But as time when on the car started to smoke bad and finally the water pump has broken. seeing a chance to do more i have picked up a dead cheap T'boned Z20 TT which seems to run clean and only has about 96'000kms on it and am about to embark on a engine swap 
Anyway thanks for listening and here is a quick pic.
