    • Mar 9thAuctions: red Toyota Soarer GZ10


      Browsing Auctions Yahoo is fun, especially when browsing for zokushas. How about this red sharknosed Toyota Soarer?
      Zokusha auctions: Red Toyota Soarer GZ10
      Zokusha auctions: Red Toyota Soarer GZ10

      Its got a HIRO front lip and sharknose, a headlight swap and a Nissan Skyline C110 sidemarker on the front fender.

      At the tail only a big ass double spoiler also by HIRO. Oh and let’s not forget those deep dish 14 inch SSR Mk IIs! 8J and 10J may not sound like really deep, but with that smaller diameter they look a lot deeper!

      Unlike the work done on the outside the engine appears to be unattended for years now… However, do not judge on that: the car did have a 5 speed conversion! (all Z10 Soarers have auto gearboxes!)

      It can be yours for only 1,300,00 yen (14,500 dollars). You can find the auction here: red Soarer GZ10

    • Nov 25thVideo: More zokusha drifting!

      Remember the videos of a bunch of zokushas drifting? Well, kiyotarouj just uploaded a new one:

      You will only see the sharknose Mark II drifting while on the track there are some non zokushas (an AE86, a Soarer, a Skyline R31 and another Mark II) but if you look well enough you can see a whole bunch of zokushas waiting in the pitlane!

    • Oct 15thAuctions: Toyota Soarer MZ21 RS*R

      Time for something new: we do post certain auctions in the deep dish postings, but we hardly post anything interesting outside that section.
      So, let’s start with this beautiful second generation Toyota Soarer:
      Toyota Soarer E-MZ21 RS*R
      Toyota Soarer E-MZ21 RS*R

      The car has been painted in three different colors, just like the grachan style. At the front a 27 cm sharknose extension has been done and the taillights have been swapped.
      Front wheels are 8.5J and the rear wheels are 10.5J wide. To fit these wheels the front fenders have been tapped out and some (small) fender extenders have been mounted at the rear

      At first I thought the taillights were swapped for the Prince Skyline S50 series, but I was wrong:
      Read on for more pictures and info…

      They are certainly early BMW 02 series taillights. How do I know for sure? My parents used to own a BMW 2002, but more about that in a later posting. 😉

      This E-MZ21 Soarer is an automatic (just like 90% of all Soarers) and has same the 3 liter 7M turbo engine as found in the MA70 Supra.

      The most striking is this comment placed two days ago:
      The fact that there was a violation of the guidelines report two cases. What do you violate the law is that which is forbidden by law to sell?
      In other words: this auction has been marked as illegal in two occasions. Indeed the seller states there are no documents with the car and it is unknown if the recycling fee has been paid. Now what would be the real history of that can then?

    • Feb 10thPopular Bosozoku cars: Toyota Soarer

      This is going to be a regular here: it would be nice to see some really mild to really wild examples of the Bosozoku style cars and then read how they came out of the factory. 😉

      This week we’ll kick off with the Toyota Soarer:
      Two Bosozoku styled Soarers resemble mobile suits from Gundam

      As you probably have read in the introduction an extremely lowered Soarer featured Shakotan Boogie. This most probably helped its popularity among Bosozoku stylers and most Toyota Soarers you see on Bosozoku car meetings are Shakotan Boogie look-a-likes.

      This milder styled car is of course an exception: it has a lengthened hood and overfenders as well. But apart from that it looks quite stock.

      Read on for more pictures…

      Really gone wild on this Toyota Soarer
      Someone has really gone wild on this Toyota Soarer

      Big wing, deep dish wheels with huge overfenders and sideskirts wide enough to have somebody stand on!

      The Z10 is the most popular Bosozoku styled Toyota Soarer, probably because of its boxy shape and because it is quite cheap to buy. Z20 Soarers are hardly seen and I’ve never seen any Bosozoku styled Z30 and Z40 Soarers, but never say never. 😉

      How did it come out of the factory then?

      The Soarer itself was a successor to the Toyota Crown Coupe, which was a 2 door version of the Crown with a bit more sporty suspension. The Soarer itself did just as well as the Crown Coupe. The Soarer shared the same engines as the Crown and the CelicaXX.

      Because it shared the same engines as the CelicaXX it is often confused to be the same platform with a different bodyshape, like the Celica and the Carina have. However there is a Supra JZA70 with a Soarer Z20 frontend which makes the confusion even bigger.

      To confuse it even more: a lot of the interior components of the Soarer look like the interior of the CelicaXX. True, but the CelicaXX also shared a lot of components with the Corolla AE86.

      Tiptronic climate control

      The Soarer was the most luxurious car in the Toyota lineup (apart from the Toyota Century of course!) and featured all the state of the art technology! In the picture above you can see the climate control of the Soarer is featuring tiptronic controls, other buttons were normal but about everything is electronically adjustable. The Soarer also featured a digital dashboard, state of the art 4 speed automatic (with sports setting!) and the passenger door had a seperate doorhandle for the passengers in the rear!

      I hope you can see now why a Bosozoku styler would choose for the Soarer Z10: it is an incredible car with a lot of comfort which can’t even be found in cars from the 90s! Besides that: it is a very cool car itself.
