Default VIP inspired Soarer build project.

I believe some of the members have seen my Ghetto Soarer before. I am here to make my own build thread for you who loves my ride and like and to see the progress of my build.

Here is a little background of me:
I am 21 and currently owner of a 1991 Toyota Soarer. I bought this car for my daily driver at September. I also own a R32 Skyline GTS-t and GTR. I was never intended to mod the soarer but I've seen alot of hot SC in CL so that got me itchy.

Currently Mod list:
Engine: 1JZ GTE
-Stock

Drivetrain: Auto
-Stock

Handling:
-Tein Sideway Master Super Drift
-Work VS-XX
18x10 +0
18x11 +0
-Perelli P-zero 225/40R18
-Michelin Pilot Sport 255/35R18

Body:
-Vertex Replica Body kit

Electronic:
-6000K HID kit

Update:

DEC 8 - VERTEX kit Installed (Pics)
DEC 16 - Fender flare Fixed, Body Work Mostly Done.(Pics)
FEB 10 - New Bumper, In The Shop Ready For Paint, (Pics)


I got the car bone stock and the first thing I did is the GTR rims that I have sitting around and 6000K HID.

Since I have time last week, I put my new coilover and new rims on.
Coilovers are Tein Super Drift. They have very good ride quality. It also lower the car alot which I like.
Wheels are from Work. They are VS-XX
18x10 +0
18x11 +0
Since I am on a budget, I put used tires on them. They are Perelli P-zero 225/40R18 and Michelin Pilot sport 255/35R18

I dropped the car around 2.5 to 3 inches

I just received my body kit last week and decided to put it on this weekend. Thanks JDMes for helping me out.

I have to raise the car 1inch all around so the body kit will not be touching the ground. Regarding on the rolling job, I did it myself with a fender roller. It is alittle ghetto since I didn't use a heat gun. It wouldn't matter since my car is going for paint anyways. Car will be taken to the body shop tomorrow for all the body work. I will keep you guys posted!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for Reading
Charles

I usually drive around in Richmond Area. My car was pretty stock before so you probably didn't notice even if you see it. haha
