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.




eventually i converted all interior lights from globes to LEDs, thanks to some help from this very forum.

before


after

 

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!





next got hold of an explosion front and rear bar and some vertex skirts and put those on.

 

finally got a set of HIDs, probably the best upgrade to date.






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?

 

nice.. i like that front bumper..

 

nice car man. i like the hid's. which ones your running?

 

I like the RHD

You Aussies really know ur stuff. Wish we had some of the swap and conversion options u guys have!
That Soarer looks amazing for an 18 yr old car!

 

thanks for the good words guys the person i bought the car from had kept in great shape.

Awesome! I've always liked those stock EMV's that came in those Soarers.

JEALOUS!!!

 

What's "EMV"?

 

Car is in great shape for the agw, once you switch the wheels, it will make the car stand out more!

 

The stock nav screens that some of those old soarers came with.

The US totally got cheated!
