My £1900 300bhp pimp mobile

picked this up a couple of weeks ago, a twin turbo soarer - really really nice condition and importantly no rust! It's "quite low to the ground" and seems to have been well looked after (recent camblelt, water pump and radiator.)

soarers are such amazing value! only £1900 and with the private plate it has as well it's left a lot of people wondering how old she really is!

Its about 6" from the ground at the sills!

That's where you measure ride height...Measuring it at the bumper smacks of McDonalds' car park 'check me low ride, blud' shenanigans.

Hell...You can even see the tops of the tyres.

There's air between the top of the tyres and the wheel arch. Leon would not approve!

ramirez · 8 Mar 2008 at 07:50

haha ok not slammed to the max then

still a bit of a speed bump clanger though

anyway, i'm just really amazed how much car you get for your money with these things - electric heated leather seats, parking sensors, in dash gps..... everything!

penski · 8 Mar 2008 at 07:51

Hell of a lot of car for the money, yeah...But it just looks like it has two people sat in it...Not even lowered

Looks better in the OP than above tbh IMO

MrSix · 8 Mar 2008 at 09:00

I'm bored of penski

Looks great though mate, how many miles?

vanpeebles · 8 Mar 2008 at 09:12

Don't lower it anymore, looks really good in the opening picture.

easyrider · 8 Mar 2008 at 09:14

Thats ugly TBH

DreXeL · 8 Mar 2008 at 09:27

A hell of a lot of car for the money, these. Looks like a nice example :cool:

Must say I'm not keen on the wheels though, and I agree with Penski, it's not 'slammed'. Still, awesome value. Enjoy :cool:

haha brilliant

was waiting for that

never been keen on Soarers, however for cheap thrills value alone, i can see why.

JediFragger · 8 Mar 2008 at 10:17

Get it *slammed* duuuuuuuuuuude

Matt82 · 8 Mar 2008 at 11:19

manual or gay auto? i really wanted one but couldnt get a decent manual

Lopéz · 8 Mar 2008 at 11:22

Is it a manual? If not would you like it to be? Would my Supra 'box fit......?

ethos · 8 Mar 2008 at 11:23

Can't say I like the look for them, but for cheap poweh they always seem good.

How do they handle?
