So after picking this up and driving it for a while I am not going to cut into the body. I'll leave it stock body and leave the interior stock. First I'll manual swap it, then add a turbo, and then I'll see where this project takes us next. Thank you guys for watching.
They won't listen. JDM drift guys are the worst with this kind of thing. they have no respect for a built car, all they see is the potential on the track. They don't take anything else into consideration. this will be destroyed and another great JDM product will be lost.
I wouldn’t cut it up at all, those mark II are hard to find and when you can find a good one with the working digital dash in clean condition you should keep and daily it
Larry i must say, I own a JZX100 Chaser of your spec. Low miles, digital cluster, NA-1JZ with the pearl paint and props to you for doing what I can't because mine is too clean as well. I did put a kit on it but still has the seals and everything.
I just received an Aristo with very low miles, a 4.5, almost flawless. Transporter scratched it up! This is how I feel if you cut that up, don’t do it!
Don’t ruin it, buy another to make your drift car. Too many of our favs have been destroyed or sent to the crusher, keep it as a nice example, not only will it be great for the next buyer but it’ll be worth more money when selling. Win win
Buy mine if you are going to cut it. Its a GX100 Mark II Its a project car located in Cali. Selling mine for supper cheap, 6k but negational. This JZX is way to clean to cut.
I humbly recommend making it a sleeper for daily. Leave the interior untouched, but do some nice engine mods or an engine swap. Some suspension work with fun & comfort in mind would be nice too
OOF that's a Spicy Camry! Everyone cool loves Spicy Camries. Looks so much like a USDM XV20/4th Gen Camry, they are both even within an inch or two dimensionally all around, so those who know, like those kids, freak out but most people in Los Angeles just think you're driving a nicely maintained used camry or something. Which imo makes them amazing Sleepers in the US, you should keep it clean and stockish, make it a sleeper, put Camry badges on it but get power out of the RWD JZ setup that would be epic
Awesome find! Seldom saw a car so clean and in prestige condition. Would be a shame to cut it up indeed. I would build it as a cruiser and maybe drop a supercharged UZ with a cd009, and keep the interior as original. Awesome to see some build videos coming in the future. I'm stoked!
Oh no is right. I agree with everyone else. Find a beat up one to cut up. That one is super clean. Don't destroy it. When I am ready to buy a Aristo I hope I can find one that clean.
Larry PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't touch this beauty, your V8 conversion wouldn't be a bad idea but i'd leave her the way she is. Wait what if you'd find an LEXUS LFA Engine you know the V10. Sweeeeeett
now that is machineeeee, Tha tis it, that is it.....Def a daily and street cruiser.....not every ca you own is to modify to the max, engine swap yes !!, car show build yes, clean
Larry, cut it up. Do exactly what you want with it. You could slap a turbo to that 2JZ-GE and get a decent and "reliable" 300-350 HP. Get yourself a brand new 6 speed manual CD009/00A from the dealer (was around $2,300), get a Collins Kit or similar to adapt it, do your fun stuff with the wheels, suspension and body then go enjoy it for a while. The 1UZ/3UZ V8 can come later. It is a beautiful car but make it your car. Wouldn't hurt to keep looking for Mark IIs/JZX100s - You might find one that's got more stuff done. Regardless, this particular car was a find! 21:48 The smoke is likely from the valve covers. If you're not inclined to replace the VC gaskets you might get away with re-torquing the hardware as a temporary fix (unless the gaskets are split). Good luck and I'm looking forward to this project.
Please don’t chop this up , please make the ultimate white VIP build . Polished everything , maybe engraved stuff . Please only classic JDM VIP LACED style ❤❤❤❤
Pardon my language Larry but if you cut this car up. DINO DC gonna be PISSED at you 👀😡. Absolutely not Larry. Not gonna find that many Clean Chaser these days

The right move
Would a V10 fit?
I don't get why you would buy a super clean automatic NA car instead of a rough manual turbo car, if you wanted a drift car.
Good choice Larry. Some other wheels and a roof spoiler, and its done 👌
Don't hurt the spicy Camry
Don’t cut it up, just find a ruined one.
They won't listen. JDM drift guys are the worst with this kind of thing. they have no respect for a built car, all they see is the potential on the track. They don't take anything else into consideration. this will be destroyed and another great JDM product will be lost.
I have one for sale, I'd gladly sell it to him since this one is way to clean to cut.
Larry don't ruin this beauty, men looks too clean
🤯You can't cut that, Larry.
Tune it. Cruise it. Treasure it.
Daily street cruiser
Save it! They don’t make them anymore!
I wouldn’t cut it up at all, those mark II are hard to find and when you can find a good one with the working digital dash in clean condition you should keep and daily it
Definitely daily with some get up and go
Clean daily with some power and suspension upgrades. Good to go.
Larry i must say, I own a JZX100 Chaser of your spec. Low miles, digital cluster, NA-1JZ with the pearl paint and props to you for doing what I can't because mine is too clean as well. I did put a kit on it but still has the seals and everything.
OEM+ build Larry. I helped a friend tear down a lexus for compatible chaser suspension parts. because parts in the us are in Japan.
dude, JZX100s look sooo good in white, and it's so clean as well, that thing is dream car material
Definitely daily. I'd hate to see it smashed up and rusty
I just received an Aristo with very low miles, a 4.5, almost flawless. Transporter scratched it up! This is how I feel if you cut that up, don’t do it!
JP, as usual, blessing the new world locals with some random german expletives 23:09
Do the toyota v8 lots of info out there on that and being toyota it would be cool
Car is way to clean to cut up dude danggg.. Love the taillights on these.. Great car!
The car freshener he had in the car is hilarious at 11:00.
Don’t ruin it, buy another to make your drift car. Too many of our favs have been destroyed or sent to the crusher, keep it as a nice example, not only will it be great for the next buyer but it’ll be worth more money when selling. Win win
I’d say don’t cut it but swap it, make the dash work with the swap, it will be the sickest cleanest thing
60 grand in New Zealand
Buy mine if you are going to cut it.
Its a GX100 Mark II
Its a project car located in Cali.
Selling mine for supper cheap, 6k but negational.
This JZX is way to clean to cut.
That dash cluster in NUTZ! I've never seen a 3D speedo before and that has to be the coldest JDM 90's shit EVER!?
I love that Numb by Linkin Park started playing when the stereo turned on
Yeah that poor car knows that its going to the slaughter house
I humbly recommend making it a sleeper for daily. Leave the interior untouched, but do some nice engine mods or an engine swap. Some suspension work with fun & comfort in mind would be nice too
That as a nice daily is a dream, don't cut it up
Mark II is definitely awesome daily drifter like I like to use it :D
OOF that's a Spicy Camry! Everyone cool loves Spicy Camries. Looks so much like a USDM XV20/4th Gen Camry, they are both even within an inch or two dimensionally all around, so those who know, like those kids, freak out but most people in Los Angeles just think you're driving a nicely maintained used camry or something.

That’s a daily for sure.
Awesome find! Seldom saw a car so clean and in prestige condition.

Awesome to see some build videos coming in the future. I'm stoked!
hell yeah larry this will be rad dude, cant wait to see it!
You guys are living the dream, go you!!
OEM PLUS Daily driver. Chaser have so much class, iconic design and durability 🍻. It’s badass.
Don’t mess it up. That’s a legit time capsule
Oh no is right. I agree with everyone else. Find a beat up one to cut up. That one is super clean. Don't destroy it.
When I am ready to buy a Aristo I hope I can find one that clean.
LARRY BUILDS LETS GOOOO
Newcombs Ranch is closed, that's terrible. That place was my introduction to motorcycling in Socal.
IMO these things are too rare now to be drifting a clean example. Get an Altezza and put a 2J in it if you want a 4 door Toyota drift car.
If you’re thinking 1UZ for your v8 swap I can for sure tell you that it fits perfect in the jzx engine bay.
Nice choice Larry! My congratulations!
Waaay I’m so happy for you Larry
Dirty single Turbo LS and Tr6060 💪🏽 Mirror tints
Would be sick to get Sparcos but get custom lace on it and keep the rear seats stock.
Amazing video, Mr. Chen.
Clean af such a cool ride
after watch this I missed my sold mark ii lx80 with 1jz swap non vvti twin turbo in Malaysia here
I remember these cars back in the day fresh from Japan imported in Jamaica
Larry PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't touch this beauty, your V8 conversion wouldn't be a bad idea but i'd leave her the way she is. Wait what if you'd find an LEXUS LFA Engine you know the V10. Sweeeeeett
Yessssss Jdm RWD Camry 😉🤌🏼
Good job Larry! 🫡

32:02 850 Sedan T5r Cream Yellow, 1 of 1117 globally
now that is machineeeee, Tha tis it, that is it.....Def a daily and street cruiser.....not every ca you own is to modify to the max, engine swap yes !!, car show build yes, clean
Please don’t cut it up, it’s way too nice!!!!!!
build the oem motor with a dual scroll Borgwarner turbo setup.
Yea gte and manual swap it and cruise it. Make it a nice drift week build
You will 100% cook the engine doing canyon runs. 1jzge are hot running engines
I'd leave this for the collectors... this needs to be kept original unless there are better ones out there
Too good to be yeeeeeeet another drift car.
7:37 unwrap....why would you do that?
Gotta agree with the crowd here, she’s a DIME!! No surgery needed!! I know you don’t drift on that level but that car is too Beautiful!!
DONT CUT IT UP. keep the rolling tray in the neck rest too 😂💯👌🏻
too clean!
The intrusive thoughts are winning. Make sure Cagle exercises, please.
BOTH 🎉🎉🎉
And he didn’t know the pearl was a wrap👌
dont drift missle it obviously
SO SICK
Mark 2 is rwd so no Camry. More akin to Lexus
97 with 36 K Km's, its such a nice car to cut..
i really hope you find a beater for drifting instead. this is too much of a time capsule to turn into a missile.
Staggers the mind that Larry Chen doesn't have a million subscribers
the jz engines are nice
Too clean to cut. Leave the lace on those seats ⛩
First comment from Florida 🔥
I say daily vip maybe something along that with a little go
hit up the chaser parts companies like Serial nine

Just swap it and use it as daily driver!
As long as you don't drive it California, even with out of state plates you'll be state ref'd ASAP.

Put a turbo on the existing motor and drive it. Don’t cut it up
