Okay - it did not make much sense.

What I mean was my old Soarer was well looked after when I had it but it has had a harder life since I have sold it on.

I was going to say not all thinking of the Soarer I used to have which was babied by me and the previous owner. But then I thought of the two owners who have had it since then and I probably have to agree with you!

i think i understand what you said

and the red tt was nice,but the vvti is a far better car in everyway

That silver VVTi looks stunning okay but by the time you have added in the conversion from sterling to euro and the VRT it takes it well out of my price bracket for the moment.

Does not help that I am getting married later this year which eats up a fair chunk of a car budget !

Even though I think that red TT you had a while back looked like the nicer car.

Any idea what might be the cause of the brake pedal vibrating?

well you could buy it in euro,and alot cheaper than you think(would save me taking it back to the uk)
and the vrt is only 1000 euro now

without looking mate its hard to say
but any car from ireland has had the guts raced out of it
i would never buy a irish car how ever cheap it was

Well, after a short flirtation with ownership of a Mk IV Supra that came to a very brief and very wet end (after four weeks of ownership it was written off in floods that ruined the estate I was renting in at the time) I am now back in the hunt for my second Soarer.

I had a look at one yesterday that came fitted with ABS. When I pressed the brake pedal to the floor, say when I was releasing the gear shift out of park and into drive, I felt the brake pedal vibrate - I have not driven an ABS equiped Soarer before so I was just wondering is that a normal function or might it indicate a problem?

There were no warning lights or dongs and the brakes seemed fine on the test drive.

Any thoughts? Thanks guys.

Hi,

I've seen a few guides about lowering the air suspension, does anyone know what the lowest drop is, i'm wanting mines very low (without rubbing), also any info on height controllers would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

like ive said many times before

soarers dont need cats for an mot

Agreed. Mine have alway come in under the CO limit without one on. Most MOT men won't even know if it should or shouldn't have one anyway.
