Hi all! I am Matt, from the (not so) sunny United Kingdom.

Firstly I would like to say congrats to you guys, this forum is by far the best SC / Soarer related forum i have come across (hence me joining!) All of the UK based ones are so quiet i think you could hear a mouse sneeze.

Anyways, a little about me. Im 28, live just outside of London and drive a Toyota Soarer 2.5 Gtt. I work as a technician at an Audi main dealer, normally found dealing with something nasty and long...... and erm audi related

My car, as i said is a 1993 Soarer 2.5 auto. I purchased it off a good friend of mine in september after my trusty VW golf rusted away.
Its pretty standard for now, i have been getting up to date with some much needed maintenance for the time being.

As she stands the spec is something along the lines of
Respray in Porsche dark olive pearl
HSD Mono pro coilovers with pillow ball top mounts
Some beaten and battered 18" wheels by Fuel
Random Decat pipe
Greddy profec E01 boost controller - set at around 14.5ish psi
Super Pro steering rack bushes
Unknown strut brace
4300K 55W Hid kit
Nasty horrible rear lights that need to go

Some pictures of her actually clean for once











Not the best picture of the colour, but its the best my phone can pick up

Thanks for the kind replies

Plans for it at the moment are new wheels, won't be to manys taste probably! I have a set of 18 inch super advans in my garage awaiting a refurb.
I'm after some new rear lights, ideally 97 onwards
I'm also bidding on an additional set of headlights so I can attempt a bixenon build using Audi A3 projectors
That's for the short term, long term will hopefully see a manual conversion, LSD, big single turbo and overfenders. But that's a ways off at the moment!
