Will speak to him and get it sorted for ya matey.

 

Yeah cheers neil, Ive been in the GT model but It wasnt as fast as what I would like. I take it the import version of any jap car is the better version as in condition/extras & mileage.

 

@Jurgen, Thats a very nice car with crazy wheels but I would'nt start looking to buy until ive sold mine.

 

As for an integra the FWD still puts me off, Ive owned FWD, 4WD & RWD and I prefer RWD.

 

Is it the Lexus Soarer not the toyota soarer?

Just seen this soarer, Its sold already but WOW http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1859604.htm

 

EDIT: Insurance is sky high on one of these, At first I got quoted on a toyota soarer which was cheap, then I tried the lexus and its 2k.

 

Also I love this s14a http://www.driftworks.com/forum/drift-cars-sale-private-sales/125181-nissan-s14a.html

It's a toyota soarer, it was never produced as a lexus soarer :) they've just been re badged, though in the states they're lexus sc300's,(2JZGE) sc400's(1UZ V8)

 

i've driven all the cars in your list, and would put the s14 first, I loved the steering feedback and driving position, but I would pick a soarer or evo 3 over that

oh btw, the 300zx isnt anywhere near as bad as people make out, its a bit like the mk3 supra in that there's just a lot of examples that haven't been looked after, they're very cheap to pick up but the maintenance costs are still quite high, the n/a's are pretty reliable though and they do come in short wheel base too thats tt and n/a, and the swb's look ace :cool:

i know you said room in the back would be good but all this talk about mr2`s why not a honda s2000 i drove my cousins and i was very impressed inside and out and the drive was very fun

 

Yeah thats what puts me off the mr2 no rear seats, but its got something none of the other cars have....... an engine behind your head:d. Ive been in an s2000 and even though it was quite cool it was too slow for my liking.

 

@ TOM, on pistonheads there is no toyota soarer but there are some lexus soarers, on Autotrader there is only one toyota soarer in the hole of the uk, Is there a better place to find these? I would say a soarer is now in my options. The 300zx is still sorta my fav one, ive always wanted to own at some point in my life.

There are loads of 14a's up for grabs mate, the colours that they were released in are black, red, emerald green , and saphire blue.

 

I would really like a white car next, or maybe gunmetal grey, But white is my main colour, I think s14's in white with a drift style bodykit look amazing.

yeah its odd, Im always looking at the soarers and have to go through "lexus" instead :)

 

only the usual places really mate, ph, autotrader and maybe ebay

that white s14 is perfect then lol

 

Yeah its very sweet that mate, Im gonna stick mine up forsale hopefully tonight, Im not to bothered if mine sells or not because its a reliable car and the only reason I do want to sell it is my insurance is crazy. If it sells soonish I will be in contact with you Mr Jurgen:d

EDIT: Just noticed you had the tokyo drift rx7, I love that car how much did it sell for?

 

@Tom that bottom one is amazing I love it, It wouldnt last a day over the speedbumps round here. My insurance on the 'Lexus soarer TT' is 2k, insurance on a toyota soarer TT is £900.
