mmmmm any deep dish mesh wheels on a soarer look soo faraken hawwwt!
if there is some definite interest in this australia wide meetup it could be done at summernats (no now they do have imports there ) we could do that or come october, garry myers is holding a little event called gazzanats down here in adelaide which should be pretty damn awesome, with all your usual nats events but more such as drifting
oh if you dont know who garry myers is then see below:
should be awesome
P.S. Glen its good to hear you are joining the soarer ranks

On the meetup proposition - There was a "National" meetup organised by the ALSC in Wagga last year. They had a reasonable turnout from what I remember - all 30 series mind you. There was some interest from a few 20 series owners about turning up - but things fell through.
I don't know if they are going to organise another - I might have a look - it even may be worth floating the idea over there.

actually good point
i have seen yours too, i think it was a pic of a sprinter and yours was in the background
Mine will be fine once i get some wheels and get a good heavy buff and polish on the paintwork...
Note to self: Next car I buy, MAKE SURE TO SEE IT IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT... All the scuffs on the paintwork are 99% invisible in low light, on overcast days, and are 100% invisible when the car's wet...
But dry, on a sunny day...
i'll get that bitch looking brand new if it costs me an arm and a leg

That is going to depend on what mr engineer says when it comes in! As you can see the engine bay needs a damn tidy up, gotta love the jap street attitude of all go and no under bonnet bling.
Probably all but drifting, im just not a big fan of it.

for a 1G it has been known that a 3" front pipe and dump pipe is sufficient and then go to a 2.5" catback, i went 3" on mine becuase i got the exhaust for damn cheap

I quite like the look of these 10 and 20 series Soarers.
Is there an FAQ on them somewhere? Things like:
- Performance figures for the different engines.
- Curb Weight
- Fuel Economy
- Specs of GT vs not GT etc?
- What the heck TEMS is??
