You're now making me want one of these, I spotted one owned by some dickhead as it was covered top to bottom in stickers but I've always loved the way they look if nothing else, those rear lights are pretty distinctive. I'll now add these to my search list when I run through all the usual car websites like pistonheads, car and classic etc.

I should stop looking at these, particularly when you can pick up a V8 version for just over £1000. https://www.gumtree.com/p/toyota/1992-toyota-soarer-v8-uzz31/1149542547

Knowing that there's so many unobtainable parts on these just makes me want one more. Probably because I'm an idiot.

I'll keep an eye out, I'm stacking cash so assuming I'm not going to get bummed on insurance I'll bear one in mind because I'm drawn to how luxurious and unassuming these are. The one I posted up previous went for under £1000 on ebay too so they don't appear to be costly at all but I imagine they're superb fun when they start to go wrong!

Yeah I just took a look at insurance for one and it's sitting about £1000 a year which is annoying considering something like an FB RX7 would cost me not even 1/4 that despite costing more to actually buy. :/

It's also because an RX is considered a classic and gets cut rates. I suppose the import status on a Soarer doesn't help matters much either which is annoying. Might have to phone up a company or two and see what they say about it.

What's with the hole on the rear bumper, was this LPG or something? Or is this just one of the million and one wacky system related things on these?

I follow a Honda sales page on facebook and noticed one of those parking poles pop up for sale a few weeks back. I'm not sure at what point I'd ever use one but then Japan installed all sorts of weird and wonderful poo poo in their cars like the two can glovebox fridge in the S13...

So out of any/all Soarer owners you know, how many of them go to these sort of lengths with their cars? Also there's a JZZ31 for sale about 5 miles away from my house. https://www.gumtree.com/p/toyota/toyota-soarer-lexus-sc300-2jz-not-supra-skyline-evo-s13-s14-328-200sx-/1151163923 Olympic Mathlete fucked around with this message at 13:30 on Jan 26, 2016 |

ShittyPostmakerPro posted:In the UK? None, I don't think. Most spend a fortune to have them repaired at 'specialists', who are usually just mechanics with experience in these cars. Well I've asked for a callback regarding insurance on this to see what the deal is, so if they quote me happy then I might roll over and take a look at this assuming it's still about. Also howdy neighbour I guess.

Ola posted:I was never really aware of these cars, I want one really bad now Yup, I'd seen them around every now and again and I knew what they were but I had no idea what was inside them so being an 80s kid the idea of owning one is now a thing. I checked out insurance and for me they're just a little bit silly, if they're still around in a few years I see myself picking one up though...

Yeah don't buy that, you'd still have to be seen driving an RX8 and there's no cure for that.

So £100 less and you're giving it a go anyway? Dude... Haha. I'd take the easy way out personally. And Coventry. Need to give the Supra a good few runs to make sure everything's good so once you've got poo poo sorted and you want to rant at someone/cry into a beer while wrenching I'll roll up.

How the gently caress does a car that 'new' rust so badly?? Mine's 29 and is nowhere near that bad. :o

That's pretty lovely. I have a nice patch of rust on the inside of the boot in my car on one side, arches have been welded in previously and the car's now leak free but the fact it's still there annoys me. I need to pay a man some coin in order to get that sorted, alternatively learn to weld myself as something tells me it'll be useful seeing as I like old cars.
