    This was when MCM peaked. It's still great today, but it was phenomenal back then. I'm just thankful we had this.

    1200 bucks for a Chaser. The engine alone is worth more now.

      Shame it was an auto. Literally would've had EVERYTHING to build something great if there was a manual trans except for that lame restrictive stock exhaust. Look at all the AE86's just sitting around too. Damn these guys got lucky to do this and snag this drivetrain for $1,200. The Recaro on the forklift is a hell of a nice touch too. I dig it.

      A chaser seems like a cool car as well. Would love me one of those to scare the shit out of the gti's and honda's around here. But this one has had it's day. Just be glad the mighty engine lives on and doesn't get crushed. It prolly would have been crushed if they didnn't buy it anyway.

    Yeah, In Australia You're looking at $5k for any working car, pretty much. Only real sheds go for $1000 or less. We don't even get half of the exciting Japanese models because local car laws and import regulations are stupidly strict. If you import something they don't want in the country, they crush it at the docks and send you the bill.
