I found in my massive pile of car mags...A drift magazine of sorts that has an entire article on Ueno's Soarer and details on all the carbon fiber and inner workings of the VVti 1jz engine he runs....

I should scan the pages and post em up???

Go ahead man post em up!! Although I'm pretty sure its a 2jz, i could be wrong. I really wish i woulda taken a pic of his doors, full carbon fiber inner and outer and full dry carbon dash you can see from the pics. Amazing car and nice guy, met him and got his autograph.

Its a VVti 1jz, somewhere under 500hp, the doors, made from CF, weigh 8-9lbs and have the power windows still, also any bolts or fasteners that he could get at, he replaced with titanium...at $20 a bolt.

I'll scan those pages and get em up here....great read.

Ueno's running a 1.5JZ with a HKS TO4Z set up now. Pushing near 550whp(600?). It was in some magazine about 4 months ago.

That car is simply gorgeous. The new Candy Red paint job just sets it off!


Quick Reply: Took a few pics of Ueno's Soarer at D1GP!
