Hey guys/girls, just thought I should pop in and connect up with some fellow toyota jz owners.


Name: Daniel
Where your from: Auckland
What you do: Lift Technician
Car you own: 97 Toyota Soarer, 1JZ factory manual

Mods and future plans:
Currently she has a downpipe back exhaust with a resonator, some 18x8.5(front) 18x9.5(rear) wheels, basic sounds mods. The car has been in my ownership for a couple of years now and slowly I'm piecing together what exactly I want from her. My initial focus is the cosmetics, the paint is in dire need of some touch ups with the addition of a low cut wing and I need to source some coilovers (decent ones) to complete the look.
After the outside is where I want it, I'm looking at picking up a BOV/Boost controller/ETCS controller/front mount.
From here its all a bit hazy...

Next car you want to buy: The Soarer is me for the moment, but if the opportunity ever arose...Mark 4 Supra.
Why you joined JZX NZ: A good friend posted up some pictures of a meet you guys had recently in town (Auckland), I meet up with the Skyline boys from SDU regularly, good bunch but they all drive the wrong dam car. Basically just looking for a bunch who drive the right car who like to meet up occasionally and mumble on about JZ's not RB's...

hey dude welcome! car looks really tidy

[han16]

Thanks

Yea the photo hides the defective paint well, she suffers from the toyota paint cancer. However this will be fixed soon ~ returning her to the former glory.

Paint repair quoted today, waiting on email with the damage :S

Oil change done and cleaned the muffer tips plus the coil cover on the head.

No cover:

Welcome! Nice car, I remember seeing you constantly own it up on BF2 a few years ago

[han16]

Ha!, I remember you too. Think I've seen you on occasion playing Bad Company 2 also?

[detonator7]

Yeah I played a bit when it came out

[han16]

Now I can get the respray done on the rest of the car!



Finally picked up a new boot lid plus the spoiler I wanted for $90, paint is bit tired but more or less the same as the rest of my car. No worries tho, car in for a respray next month!
The brake light works 100% too, will just disconnect the factory one on the rear parcel tray. Question tho, does anyone know if the factory one will need to be working even if I have the new one on the rear wing?
