Hey anyone that wants to reply, i was wondering is there any cheaper way then coilovers to lower the Soarer? I went to my local suspension shop, and they said the only way to lower it is to put coilovers, in which he procedded to get me a price for TEIN Coilovers, supply and fit $1850.
Surely, there has to be lowered springs or something i can buy? Any help in this matter would be GREATLY appreciated.
Also, i put on a turbosmart boost tee in hopesof cranking the boost upto around 11psi, but after we spent ages joining the actuator lines into the boost tee and whatnot, it still didnt work. Is there some sort of Overboost valve or something on the 1G-GTE to prevent it from raising the boost?
Thanks all...

about 2 - 3 pages ago Pulsar D00D i was asking the same thing about suspension ...
You have the option of KYB shocks and some Low King Springs or Lovells
But then once installed you have 1 set ride height if your not happy how low it is , or its too low , Tough shit no adjusting for you ...
thats why most suspension shops and even most lads in this thread reccomend Height Adjustable TEIN/CUSCO coilovers
so you always have the oppertunity to adjust the height/softness
in perth they are that price also ... guess we both just have to save  or win lotto

well that could b tru mate but if i turn the controller right down it reads 9psi which is wat stock psi it normally runs
but on20 its a hell of a bigger jolt at 1st when its on full boost

I guess you would, are you saying you hit 20PSI in first? thats an effort.
YAY 3000th poster!!!!

it goes 2 like 18 in 1st and as it changed 2 2nd it gains anotehr 2 psi! dont kno y..but yeh

Hey Pulsar D00D I just recently got my car (stole waxE mz21)
and its got tein coilovers put in by waxE .... and while I guess I'm relatively uninformed having only driven this one soarer .....
Its been lowered and been firmed up .. and ... I LIKE IT ALOT 
ps yeah I'd figure there'd have to be a spring/shock combination to give the same results .... tried any other suspension places?

Andyroo, as far as I know they come with:
MZ10/MZ11/MZ12 - M-TEU engine
GZ10/GZ11/GZ12 - 1GGEU engine and maybe a 1GEU someone correct me if I'm wrong?

the MZ10 was styled? Mate go for the Z20, it as more refined version of the Z10. It is just better in every way!

ok, ive managed to hook up a deal with a fibreglasser for $500 for a COMPLETE fibreglass bonnet (+ shipping of course) this is a bonnet with a full fibreglass frame underneath as well so no pesky removing of welds and stickaflexing on the frame to a fibre bonnet, this one involves unbolting of the old bonnet and bolting on the fibre one  , weighing in at about 8-10kg's definitiely an improvement on the stocker which is over 25kgs....
I need another 5 people to go in on this for him to go to the trouble of making a mould...I am in need of a bonnet so I would really like to do this soon...
pm me if youre keen
might also be available with the funky vent I have situated on my current bent bonnet as I have to provide him a straight one...if I get him to make two moulds, one without the vent and one with then it might be another $50 or so bucks fot the vented one...that might be debateable tho...
but lemme know if youre keen on the $500 deal

as cool as one would be - theirs cheaper ways to loose 15 kgs, price is good considering the one on yahoo thats been for sale for ages - i suggest a carbon fibre sheet ontop might encourage more buyers for the an additional price

Z10 is the bomb bitches
yeah as it has been said the GZ10's were only 1G-GEU and MZ10's were MTEU, and 5M-GE and 6M-GE i think, maybe a 7M although i doubt it.
Doesn't mean you can't upgrade it though, i put a 1G-GTE in mine and i am loving it, i know someone that has 1JZ'ed theirs and i am sure 7M's and the likes will drop into MZ10's.
my thread about my conversion.
http://forums.toymods.org.au/index.php?t=msg&t h=73011&prevloaded=1&rid=10142&S=873a1 c3792076df5101499b208f3651b&rev=&reveal=&a mp;start=0&count=60
PM me or add me to msn if ya want pics or to chat more. Personally i think the z20's are the nicest to be in but the Z10 will win hands down with a conversion, best thing is most of the turbo stuff will drop straight in.
I have also decided to become a soarer wiring fella since no one else seems to know and have since wired GTE's and 1JZ's into z20's and 20's, so i can let you know what you need.

### start of bitching ####
SINGLE DIN FITTED TO MY CAR WHEN I GOT THE H.U INSTALLED IN STRATHFIELD it costs about 50 bucks otherwise rip-off big time i reckon but they installed for free lolllli think u can get them in supercheap as well otherwise go to the wreckers and pull a sinle din coin cover or something out of a camry, corolla or whatever that will fit and use that

one is a drink holder tray to hold two drinks and the other tray under is a coin holder they both pull out manually i dont use them cause they are hard to pull out and also the stereo head unit surround cant be installed if they are fitted as there is no space but it can be glued on if needed i havent done mine yet

for ppl looking for suspension.. remember that all mk3 supsension fits, so u might want to look for someone that is upgrading theires, they might have some konis etc that theyd like to get rid of.
but if u just want it low... cut the springs and get a subwoofer.

There aren't very many manual people who don't say this... I think the twins cause a funny bottle neck feeling which makes you feel your clutch is slipping as i have upgraded mine and i still think it slips
Maybe its just easyer to say, "man i may have lost but my car is still faster, if my clutch didn't slip i woulda won"
