Default Not exactly an SC...

Hey fellas, long time reader from Sydney, Australia here.
There are some really great rides on here so I figured I'd formally introduce myself and show you what our rides are like from Down Under

I currently own two Soarers, one being a '96 JZZ30 TT model and the other being a '94 UZZ31 V8. The TT is the subject of most of my modifications, most of which have been cosmetic. Planned future mods include a big single turbo with all supporting ancillaries as well as some decent brakes.
The V8 is used as a daily and was my very first car, purchased in 2004. Only modifications I have done to it has been a late model front bumper upgrade and a respray. I am also an established member on the Soarer Central and ALSC forums.

Anyway enough chatter. Here are a few pictures of my TT:
















Cosmetic Modifications:
  • Origin front bar, Vertex sideskirts and Vertex rear lip
  • Full respray in Mazda Velocity Red and WRX Black with extra gold metallic
  • Interior trims resprayed to match exterior
  • Custom Italian red leather interior with perforated inserts
  • 20"x9.5, 20"x8.5 Volk Racing GT-C in Top Secret Gold
  • Vertex clear indicators
  • 6000K HIDs
  • Climate control unit and buttons changed to white and blue LEDs
  • OEM Toyota Soarer floormats dyed red
  • OEM Toyota brand new late model headlights
  • OEM Toyota late model tail lights
  • OEM Toyota late model front grill
  • OEM Toyota late model door inserts
  • TRUST GReddy Turbo Timer, Electronic Boost Controller, and manual gear ****
  • Blitz Mirror Drive Temperature and Pressure gauges
  • Alpine DVD touchscreen head unit
  • TRD red on black SRS steering wheel (new so don't have any pictures of it yet)
Performance Modifications:
  • Full R154 manual conversion
  • C's R154 short shifter kit
  • Exedy heavy duty clutch
  • Apex'i AP Engineering Power FC
  • TRUST GReddy V-SPL FMIC
  • Blitz BOV and POD filter
  • Fujitsubo Legalis R catback exhaust system

Also, what are the rules for selling items on this forum? Do I need to have a certain amount of posts before I can post an ad? I have a factory Toyota black leather steering wheel that no one in Australia seems to want. Maybe some of you US fellas would like it.

Anyway tell me what you guys think~!

Oh wow, you have an awesome ride sir.

In regards to your question about selling items, you can sell as long as the item is not a high-priced item. If it is one, you would need more posts or vouches from other members/forums.

Thanks for all the compliments so far guys.

The R154 was taken from a JZA70 Supra., hence the shifter position. Fixing it would mean taking out the gearbox then replacing the entire shifter with the factory remote shifter, meaning more money. Something which I've unfortunately ran out of!

Thanks for that. Since it's just a steering wheel, I don't think I should have any problems.
