Springs & rollers Full Exhaust 3000rpm stall & 3.89:1 diff EDIT I would run a bigger cam than the TFS1 if I was running stock GT40P's and looking for consistant mid 13's. Your pretty well spot on though IMO... |

Soarers are nice cars, but if you are more than 5ft tall....forget about it. They where made for little people
A V8 Soarer with an Eaton M90 or M112 blower would be kick a*** IMO. Would certainly help it get off the line a bit smarter....they are dogs before 40km/h or thereabouts in 1st gear. |

TT soarer with simple mods will see 300rwhp a hell of a lot cheaper than getting the AU V8, or the 4L Soarer to the same power.

the TT appeals to me more than the 1uzfe Yeah, I've driven a few, but mostly my mum's V8. I cant find a comfortable driving position without my head touching the roof. Apart from that, they are a pretty nice car...and a bargain for the money IMO. |

I would go the TT over the V8 as well. A TT with the "Limited" leather interior, and the UZZ32 "Active" suspension would be tops. A higher stall converter to get it off the line, and a decent dump pipe/exhaust setup, decent cooler and a bit more boost...sweet

Basically i'm looking at a blitz nur spec cat back (abotu $1500 cat back only) removing the cat, not sure on dump pipe, front mount a boost controller and a retune. Plus maybe an Apexi power intake to make the turbo spool sound better lol. After that will be a set of 19s and a vertex kit and some streetable coilovers. Should be a nice enough car with plenty of balls, and still a good daily with the auto. A good, sideways, daily. :p. |

True, you couldn't option the Limited with the TT. You would have to convert the interior yourself from a wreck. The leather trim is nice
.
Not all Limited's had the full electric console, I think it only came with the rear camera option. My mums has just the std CD/Cassette/AC Controls, no reversing camera. There is a company that does conversions for the full LCD screen version. I think I saw their details on PlantSoarer.com(?) They are a little too "cruisy" for me though. I find it a hard car to get agressive and hoon around in...its just too quiet, and comfortable

a 105dB exhaust and 250 at the wheels should sort that out  .

There is a guy in Perth with a TT 1UZFE in an HQ (I think) Monaro. Goes hard.
