Needs 2 new tyres, the correct badge on the front and a damn good clean.

Its the Toyota JZZ31 engine, which is a 3.0 Litre Inline 6.

Clock'd 0Ne

Im a noob, what actually is it then?

soopahfly

Its a Toyota Soarer GT.

Chris

Soarer.  In some countries it was marketed as a Lexus, but its a Toyota :lol:

My mate had one, with the V8.  Drank petrol :lol: :lol:  Is this the one you were on about getting for free? aint been on this forum for a while.

soopahfly

Yeah, this is the one.

Turns out it needed 4 new tyres, instead of 2.
My wallet is floating out of my pocket now :(

Pete

I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

DEViANCE

looks smart, does it go alright? same engine thats in the supra isnt it or is that just the twin turbo ones?

Mark

The twin turbo isnt the same as the supra mk IV either.

The TT soarer is a 2.5, Supra Mk IV (Same era) is a 3.0

Maldonado

W00t

When are we going for a spin?

soopahfly

It goes alright, needs a little tweaking.  There seems to be a big delay between putting your foot down and it going.
May have to invest in the future in the Getrag 6 speed auto box the supra runs.

Ben, depends what time you start work on Monday :D
As the DVLA will now have the form to swap over the car into my name, my insurance wont cover me.
I need to wait for the missus to get back from France in my van, then I can swap the insurance over and weigh in the tax.

The previous owner actually pointed out that the numbers on the plate were the date that me and the wife got married.

the japanese mercedes

soopahfly

Id agree, the Mercedes from a time when they knew what the term "Build Quality" meant.

Thats true.

Keep the L badge man, I would. Its not like youve put a Ferrari body kit on an MR2. Or is it a Toyota on the V5?

soopahfly

It says Toyota on the V5.  
Im torn between the big T, and the Griffon.

If I took the Lexus badge off, and the Soarer off the back, then not many people would know what I drive.

soopahfly

Just found out it needs its oil changing every 3000miles.

I best get familiar with how to do this task!
