Hello all! i have been lurking around these wonderful forums for a couple of years now. finally registered a couple of days ago. i am a proud owner of a 1991 Toyota Soarer V8 Limited(UZZ31). its got pretty much all the options minus reversing camera and heated seats. pearl white with tan interior, bought it bone stock except for some 18s. had 99000kms on it.

then i upgraded the tiny v8 brakes for some TT brakes and SS lines on all fours. great braking performance!

next bought a working EMV to replace mine which has a busted back light
then came a aftermarket height controller, so i could lower the beast, really changed the whole look of the car!

oh i added a BFI in there somewhere. ive only had the car a few months so more things will get changed/added. sometime after chrissy ill be getting a 2.5inch cat back, and then halfway down next year im hopefully going to get a t-56 6 speed manual conversion, with a single turbo set up to follow! along the way hoping to add 4/2 pot supra brakes, some 19s(my wheels look tiny) black projector high/low beams, dye the interior for a two tone finish(black/tan or black/red/maroon). ill post up pics along the way.
PS: i tried to get my steering wheel off the other day but it seems one of the torx screws is rounding off..any advice?
