soooo many variables..
mismatching brands is fine, as long as you get the right spring rates and dampening rates...
what type of cusco and tien coilovers?
are they ok or fucked?

"it was a 9 sec car when it came out from japan"
you have way to much interior to even be near a 9 sec car
t78 on a 2.5 l 1jz would prolly be in the 11s

nice one! but is it complianced? it looks like it's missing a plate that mine had in the engine bay... also, nice kit!!
and its so odd, my old 1987 model one had certain features and stuff yours doesnt, yet you have a sunroof and stuff and yours is a 1988... like i had steering wheel mounted radio and climate controls...
plus your climate control looks like a unit out of a pre-1988 soarer... very odd

well im pretty sure its complied as it was driving in SA.
current problems im facing before pittage is
1. O/D OFF light flashing (yet to find out error code)
2. drivers seat will only lie down, sorta - like touching the back seat and when i wanna click it up into the "upright" "Comforable" position it clicks past it and folds forward something is fucked in it, i can see its going to be the most annoying thing to fix aswell !
got 4 new tyres and a wheel alignment today at Bob Jane T-MART , rears were at 30% pretty much so i got 4 new tyres 205/60/15
Engine is clean after the 20 minute car wash with the BOILING HOT degreezzer at the cars-u-wash place last night and with a mate scrubbing the top with a can of degreezer
so hrrmmm how to fix the chair !

my seat would only click right at the back too or fold forward (i didnt have anything fucked in it when folding forward though)
you have a twistable knob on the side to adjust , the handle is just to move the seat back and forth
unless i am misunderstanding you

Coff33! Nice one!
so much like mine
Merudo - nope, I got same climate controls, did have the air purifier but i dropped that out (sub more important) but the controls still there.
and Coff33, I had the same thing happen when i picke dit up. i know whats going on (i hope )
the lever is that way so the seat can flip foward for people to get into the back but when pushed back, go back into the popsition you originally had it in. Mer is right, there are two knobs (should be) down by the right side near the lever. one of them (if you have it) - the smaller one - is for the leg part of your seat going up or down. the larger one adjusts the angle of your seat.
the lever is just to put the seat in two positions - foward so someone can get into the back from driver side/help you get stuff from your back seat - and the setting you choose. chances are previous owner was a laid back ghetto cruiser kinda guy.
i nearly flipped when i went to drive my car for the first time and found i was leaning back so damn far. memories.
i hope that was the case and that either you solved it, or b) will solve it now.
cheers

Hey Steve/Indian,
I have the manual surround in my car - so if you can find someone who can do a copy in a reasonable amount of time, I'm happy for them to use mine as the template.
OH - and a big thanks to Rosss who I caught up with in Perth the other week for showing me around and taking me for a quick spin in his 1JZ-monster-single beast.
I might have to see if I can wrangle another work trip out west when you finally get the thing all cleaned up, tuned and registered.

Hey everyone,
I tohguht i would introdude myself as i will be buying a soarer in a few months, ive been reading these forums for ages becuse my family has always been into toyotas. Are soarers easy to modify(i am refering the the more modern ones) And what are the best models to look out for regarding features and more up to date technology?
Also what are the common problems for the newer soarers?
cheers

Hey lately when i've been driving my soarer when the car is cold the steering creeks. And when i accelerate once the revs get up to around 3g's maybe a bit more the throttle cable makes a few wierd vibration like things. Feels the the cable is stretching or something i dont know its just really, really wierd.
Any idea's.
Sorry i couldnt be more descriptive i'll try and think of some analogy's.

Guys I have got in contact with the guy who makes the scissor doors in Japan, apparently he is the only one who makes them in japan and he doesn’t have any in stock he says he might be able to make 5 sets in this year or so is anyone interested in these kits if so we can organise a group buy of it to Australia
I have no price yet for it plus he doesn’t know how to send them to Australia ,
Anyone can help me on this maybe we can get this guy to send us some/or other parts for our soarers , some thing like a middle man or so as he has a soarer himself and might be helpful to us
Just a thought

btw the pics of the scissor doors were posted on this site few pages back if anyone was wondering tis the same ones and the same guy in the web page
