My latest aquisition which I've named the Waft-Tometron due its inordinate amount of gadgetry (that mostly still works!) A true waft mobile with 240bhp from the 7M-GTE lump 3.0 Turbo from the Supra. She's whisper quiet, surprisingly rapid & of course RWD

1986 Toyota Soarer 3.0I Limited MZ21

Based on a lengthened MA70 MK3 Supra Chassis, with airbag adjustable ride height & damping suspension. Factory TV, 4 mode on screen diagnostics, suspension, mpg & damping screens. Complete with steering operated wheel radio & climate controls. Electric arm chairs with electric lumbar & bolsters.

TV works here in the UK

One of her sisters is my first Soarer which is my full on competition drift beast with a 1JZ & big turbo & all the stuff to go with it. Current weight is 1110kg's compared to a factory 1550kg & 500bhp on tap.

Link0r!

that is Awesome ! I want it

Well I've been investigating the Soarer's wind powered suspension system.... ;D It would appear to be some sort of sealed system, will be investigating further. There is a stock hi/low switch so will be seeing if we get the old girl on her knees or to lift her skirt up when required. Anyways if I let all the wind out you get this ground scraping puppy ;D

Compared to stocko

Schweet!

Never realised they made Soarers back then.

That rocks, 80's electronics = uber win :cool:

How much did he get it for?

Phate · 23 Feb 2008 at 15:01

Unless I haven't spotted it I'm glad he hasn't done the (imo stupid) camber on the wheels. It looks good as it is

You get the (awesome) camber when you drop it.

On a second look it would appear your correct, the camber is there.

Bah, it's put me off it now.

If there's no negative camber showing, it's not low enough.

This is generally awesome. It is a D reg car with computer controlled suspension and an onboard TV. It rocks my world.

danza · 23 Feb 2008 at 23:50

Wow, that is awesomely cool. I bet it's a right laff/handful in its current state.

Somehow, I knew you'd say something along those lines.

Phate - don't be such a girl. Camber is not the 8th deadly sin.

Penski - 7M-GTE motor....stock ones do have an interesting relationship with their head gaskets, any idea if this one has been sorted?

IIRC, the 'issue' is merely down to insufficient torquing-down of the head studs...The manual (que?) gave the incorrect rating.

Leon will know more - he had (has?) one.
