@@tbas8741 well you can clearly see that owner have some mods installed such as bigger brakes (but i guess the pads are just bad), blitz suspension and chassis stiffness mods. so it should perform way better when tuned right for the track. tho it seems like its a basic street drift build anyways. also this car is still a heavy boat which need even bigger brakes and more suspension mods to be efficient on track

Man this video brings up so much emotion for me. In my 20's, I owned an SC300 manual and slowly pieced together coilovers, wheels and some aero upgrades before finally saving up for a turbo kit (used) for the 2JZ-GE. This took years, I don't even remember how I was able to save up for that turbo kit because I absolutely could not afford anything on that car in reality. Shortly after installing theTein coilovers and taking the car out for the first time after being away for three months an uninsured driver totaled it. Never got to finish the build. I loved that car, maybe I'll get one again in the future.

What an amazing car. The Japanese cars are always the best to watch, fun, passion and emotional. Unbeatable.

besides the brakes seems like the real biggest limiting factor was the R154 gearbox. I blew up my R154 in my soarer and can say having upgraded to a Grannas T56 has transformed everything and made it feel like I can trust the car more in almost all areas. With the close ratio set up the car even feels much faster. Also recommend if not already done doing a baffled oil sump for something like this.

Love the timeless lines of the SC300/400 aka Soarer. Beautiful car. Still a eye catch today.

That is exactly the type of car i would so much LOVE to see build into a Track tool. no one does it, its super unusual, its got loads of power potential being a JZ car, its rwd, its got a good suspension design but its quite heavy. not heavier then something like an e92 tho. Would prefer a jzx100 mark 2 but just in general a jz car as a track tool. NOT a drift car

had a 1jz manual soarer id say this is about 300 at the wheels, mine made 300 and definitely gained speed a bit faster! but was on stock twins (non vvti model), full spool by 2700 so pulled from much lower too but around 300 wheel sounds right, probably would make 400+ on high boost i reckon, few PSI on that tursbkie would be a lot. I have such a soft spot for these, probably the best cruiser/daily/track car/drift car ive had, often used to do a 900km round trip in it and was the most comfortable car for long drives (with stock seats), thats still spicy and way less boaty than most people think

I don't think I'll ever be able to decide between the JZ or RB engine noises. Beautiful.

One thing I always enjoy about Misha's commentary in his vids, is that he doesn't pretend or try to act like an expert in everything about car specs, build etc. If he doesn't know something about a car, he doesn't try to bullshit his way through. He just calls it as he sees it, in the face of out and out experts and fanatics and just leaves it at that. Well done mate
