I love the looks of the Chaser. I just saw one driving in Richmond, CA the other day and then saw your tweet about this car. Nice to learn more about it. Your daughter's blow off valve noises are hilarious!
My old roommate just imported one. Very cool car. Also, never ever ever spraypaint stock wheels black! (even if they're stock for a different car) Might sound like it'll look good, but it never does.
Я проживаю на Дальнем Востоке России и владею таким автомобилем уже десять лет)) Каждый день, в течение десяти лет, садясь за руль Toyota Chaser, на моем лице появляется дурацкая улыбка)) Я настолько люблю этот автомобиль, что решил собрать с нуля еще один😂
this was a really fun and entertaining video, the camera shots were top notch , keep up the fantastic work :) i for sure do remember driving this car back in the day in grand turismo and tokyo xtreme franchises
Japanese speaker here: It's basically saying u gotta put in the ETC card (card to pay to use the motorway, means u dont have to stop at the gates) and that the map does not extend past the area that u are in... so it just shows an arbitrary spot
Strange how I personally fell in love with the Chaser more than the Supra, idk something about it's sleek sedan design along with the beautiful sounds it makes! MMMPH! Also sweet editing dude that was awesome
absolutely love the JZX100. That car is beautiful stock; I wouldn't have touched the looks. I don't think motoring gets any better than a Supra-for-the-family.
You are riot, they are a joy. I sold my 911 and kept the jzx. I'd suggest you get the geometry setup, I use mine for track days and back road fun. With a more aggressive geo set up they feel great and agile. Regarding power if it's just a piggy back and boost up to 1bar we got 287whp at 1bar running bigger injectors, fuel pump and a link ecu.
I have the JZX90 Mark 2 tourer V version with the R154 5spd transmission, only mod is the HKS exhaust that came on the car. Also have a S13 vert(auto), a RHD Zenki S14(5 Spd), & the daily is a 2022 Mazda CX5 turbo. If you are ever in the Seattle WA area let me know & you can check out my collection.
There was a jzx110 mark ii which looks miles better than the verossa, arguably the most corolla looking one out there, plus the top trim still comes with a manual turbo JZ.
5:06 - it didn't make "about 280hp" - it officially made, just like every performance Japanese car at the time, the magical number of 276hp. Honest guv :-)

No Chaser wagon. If you want a 1JZ-GTE VVTi-equipped estate from the factory, your best bet would be either the JZS171 Crown Athlete V Estate or a JZX110W Mark II Blit.
For that price ISF is much more reasonable. Man it is crazy I’m from Russia currently living in the US, these cars were extremely popular back in Russia cos that was the best bang for buck deal. People in the US don’t even know much about these cars but seeing these prices is just sad. Any of Mark 2 based MT sedans going for 25k+. Crazyyy!
Dude, it was super cute with your daughter in the car! I have a chaser of my own and a little man but it's missing mounting points for the baby seat on the top strap. Did this car have them or did you improvise? Thanks!
Haha thanks!! From everything that I've read over the years, the safest way to mount a child seat in a car is to use the seat belt. Even for a rear facing seat. Just follow the instructions for mounting via seat belt, tighten the crap out of it, make sure it doesn't wiggle around, and you should be good.
@@HelloRoad thanks for the reply mate! I guess the US has less stricter laws than Aus because over here they require a top mounted fitting to hook into an anchor point that's independent and completely separate from the seat belt 😅
Ethan, you and I need to talk about getting you a Mexican Spec car. People go crazy for these cars on the other side of the world and these cool cars are right across the border.
The automated voice said “Ethan could you please move to the left a little? I can’t breathe!” No charge for the translation Ethan-kun 😊 Edit: terrible spelling
These cars are the very definition of blind pop culture. They were considered fodder for their motors back in the early 2000s, infact I bought a JZX100 motor for cheap to put into my Z20 Soarer (and had to throw away the worthless front oil sump of the time for a rear one). They're basically a wannabe BMW E39.
As the owner of the Chaser above, it isn't registered yet since I need to scoop it up and take it home to get it titled and registered. It's been far too long!
I'm actually planning to go to Japan to find a clean chaser to import... how much do you think they cost? I'm still learning all the different models so I'm looking for the turbo charged model...
Really depends! If it’s an R grade (repaired) or not, if it’s a Tourer V or not, if it has a manual or not, modified or not, how many KM on the odometer. I am certainly not an expert on JZX100 prices but my guess is you could pay anywhere from USD $10k-$30k-ish to import one
So I should probably buy a Chaser, right?
Yes.
YES!
It makes you daughter happy. Dad is not disappointed either... Sooo..... YES
No. I do not want to see the "This is my Chaser and it's broken." video.
It has silly sounds.
I love the design of this car. It looks subtle yet sporty, and that's a hard look to pull off.
Similar in spirit to the E39 BMW 5-series, imo
I love the looks of the Chaser. I just saw one driving in Richmond, CA the other day and then saw your tweet about this car. Nice to learn more about it.

Had me a jdm 97 jzx100 when i was in Okinawa. How i miss that car. Such an amazing vehicle.

На этом можно заработать бро😅
@@user-fn4uj2js4t так точно☝️😁
I love the video game menu-esque music Ethan uses in these vids. Creates the perfect mood
After the car’s history lesson, I’m a fan now❤ it’s such a unique flex and I very much appreciate this car.
Absolutely love these RWD Camry's*... Japan always get all the cool stuff! I'll just have to settle for my manual Lexus IS300
It’s so much nicer then the Camry dude , also not fwd . The is300 is cool but it’s so tiny they literally shrank the chaser and sold it in the U.S lol
this was a really fun and entertaining video, the camera shots were top notch , keep up the fantastic work :)
i for sure do remember driving this car back in the day in grand turismo and tokyo xtreme franchises
Man vintage Japanese ads are the best 😂
Great video, always been curious about these.
We have a chaser wrapped around every light pole here in Siberia hehehe. All good Chasers and Mark twos are already in Russia. Best car for a student.

Loved your daughter's comments! Made me laugh.
😁😁😁
I am happy I have owned one for 10 years now, as of 2022
It would be something to roll up into the school pickup/dropoff with this... And your daughter is a fantastic co-star (with excellent taste in cars).
Haha yeah I drove her to school a few times in this. She loved it! And yeah she’s probably going to take my job soon!
That was such a good watch. Awesome production value! That turbo spool sound is intoxicating.
Thank you!!!

I’ve wanted one since I found out it’s got fans that oscillate really that sold me on one , thank you for mentioning it in the video 👍😂
Great video. Your daughter’s cameo made us laugh. Well done.
Beautiful review of this Toyota Chaser and definitely remember Gran Turismo and have a wonderful week brother 💯😁👍👊
Well done and worth the watch for the integration of period commercials and race footage.
Your shirt is rad!
The JZX100 really reminds me of the E39 5 series BMWs, especially from the rear
the jzx90 has to be my dream JDM Drift purpose owned car
1JZ always doesn't disappoint
Soo cute how your daughter loves the sound
ah yes, recently bought my tourer s with very low mileage to swap in the spring. can't wait!
Pretty sure you could have just adjusted the steering wheel higher? To see the clocks
1:04 i see the owner loves techno...i see the plastikman/richie hawtin sticker on the back
Dude you have the coolest sunglasses.
😎😎😎😎😎
I finally get the chance to say I’ll be owning one🥹I’ll be picking mine up tomorrow
😮😮😮😮
My favorite chassis. I wish they were still under the radar!
adding the kid towards the end was a nice touch to the dad jokes
Really cool car, and absolutely awesome video. I had never heard of the Chaser before.
Great Video. I own it’s big brother, a 2jz-gte Aristo. I always considered it the 4 door Supra, though. 😂
It’s a little uncanny of how this Chaser has looks inspired of the E39 BMW 5 Series, in Particular the front lights & the shaping of the rear lights.
There was a jzx110 mark ii which looks miles better than the verossa, arguably the most corolla looking one out there, plus the top trim still comes with a manual turbo JZ.

love the zoomy sounds, dad 💯
JZX90 one of the best jzx chassis 🤙
My home boy has one and it’s very nice!

Thanks dad!
Oh, I know. I picked mine up from the port 7 months ago haha.
Thats a diverter valve not a blow off valve that's why it sounds like that
fun fact those engines re very reliable up to 400-500 whp .on the factory engine and even then ppl strangle to blow those engines
Fave moment ... your daughter doing the Chaser sound "ohhh ...doo ,doo ,doo,dooooh" lol
4:00 this part pissed me off 😂😂😂
Ethan, Was there a Chaser wagon? If not a genuine RWD Crown wagon would do it. Thanks for the public service announcement at 12:57👏👏👏👏
😀😀😀😀 No Chaser wagons, but some generations of the Mark II (based on this platform) could be had as a wagon.
No Chaser wagon. If you want a 1JZ-GTE VVTi-equipped estate from the factory, your best bet would be either the JZS171 Crown Athlete V Estate or a JZX110W Mark II Blit.
@@djafri84 A Crown wagon has turned up in my neck of the woods but it looks like the engine has been tuned to a state of ruin.
The Chaser is what the Supra wishes it was
Are you the Danny DC2 from wish? Sure you know the real dannyDC2 right from the UK 🇬🇧
Love it, I need one.....and your shirt!
Got mine in 2016 and I never looked back 😆
Love it! Great video/review! ❤️
Bro that suspension of a Corona mark 2!!!
good video
Your daughter is adorable ☺️ and I absolutely love the JZX 90 & 100
Same one from intouch, nice.
yea, at first, I laugh at but when i came to know It's history then i am liking this Old monster 👍👍👍👍👍
i love your content!
Can you do a video on the toyota aristo jzs161

Yessssss
The chaser jzx100 or the toyota aristo jzs161. Can you make a comparison to both ?
The plastikman sticker in the window tho
4:00 "Ohhhh What were they thinking ... I think I'm gonna be sick" 🥴🤢🤮🤧🤢🤮🥵
😂🤣
Keep up with the Dan Flashes shirts.
The Chaser was not available in RSA
Thank you, but I would take Nissan Laurel 😛
You mean steering wheel on the right side ;)
is hood scoop custom? or some company makes them?
I love My jzx100 chaser 1jzgte vvti r154.
Wait what. 25 year import law? Whats the reason for this? Im in ireland and see a few around
This is rad!
Hi, nice car, what a front bumper's name?
What's the exact model?
This was my dream car in high school. Was my car of choice in Maximum Tune 3
Love

Do you even know of the jzx110 mark 2 or Blit
I’m in love
That spoiler has to go😂

I don't need it, I don't need it, I don't need it ... I need... nooo! I don't need it! Don't make me think I can afford another car!
love the chaser, but that fake hood vent is doo doo

Just ignore all that stuff up there and drive it. Great words to live by.
spike in popularity lol thank you yankee doodle because of you guys the chaser cost so much for us to import now. what is next.? nissan laurel lol
Was this one registered anywhere?
As the owner of the Chaser above, it isn't registered yet since I need to scoop it up and take it home to get it titled and registered. It's been far too long!
@@djafri84 Where are you going to register it? In what state?
But how do I get one lmao

Looking to around 3million for a clean manual tourer v
