    We love those proboxes here in Kenya. They are driven like land jets by madmen who transport perishable khat . I drove both (probox and succeed) for five years for work and still miss it because other drivers generally fear probox drivers.

    Did a double take to make sure I was watching a Noriyaro video and not a Top Gear one at first, but the Probox looks like one of those stealth fighters, lightweight, upgradeable and practical enough that you can use it for shopping runs and still have fun while doing it.

    You’re right, it was bad idea filming this 😅 I’ve been living in Japan for about half a year now and when I first started seeing these cars everywhere they were very reminiscent of my Volvo 940 back home. I also love Toyota, and I had an Acura 1.6EL which was a blast of an FF, so this seems like a naturally ideal car for me. I had no idea they had so much potential for speed though! I’m guessing these didn’t come in a manual though would need a swap. I’m driving a JA11 Jimny right now and loving it, goes great in the snow here in Niigata, but I can definitely see myself in one of these Succ-box… Pro-state… wagons one day. I’ll be here for 5 years, plenty of time to think it over!

    The 1NZ is bulletproof too, mine has 250k miles and only burns oil, its never needed to be resealed.
    Highly recommend anything on that platform with a 1NZ, theres no way a PRO-SUCC could let you down as a parts getter!

    This sort of reminds me of that time Peugeot wanted to advertise the 806. They got parts from a 405 MI16, 306 maxi and the body of the 806 together to make the 806 procar. The result, the BIG M8 meme but with a literal MPV whilst the others was saloons. They were allowed due to the 405s chassis being a saloon.

    This could be a great sleeper, but then the exhaust has to get a more normal sound. Remember the Lancer EVOs stock exhaust? You didin't hear the 300 horses it has, but they were there. The Ultimate tune for the Probox would be the drivetrain from the 90s Impreza WRX. Imagine AWD in the Probox. But i guess it would be better to get a 98 Forester and lower it.

    Во владивостоке это действительно самые быстрые машины. При чем из модификаций - только проставки под чашки стоек.

Такие машины очень любят доставщики, выездные ремонтники/мастера и прочие. 60.000 км проехал за год - можно продать и взять по свежее. Один такой продавали - запомнилось что целой осталась только крыша-был бит вкруг, но это ни разу не пугало - все детали дешевые.

    I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to have one here in the Land Downunder.
    Pre 4 door 4WD days we were renowned for favouring our "family friendly" wagons and a tuned sleeper version would be just the ticket for doing the shopping and/or as a parts hauler.

    I can't wait to see you really throw your pro-state around some big bends.

    This whole episode was so mid-2000s car TV show, I could picture the top gear boys laughing their asses off at "pro-succ" or "pro-state".

    I can't believe you made an entire 10 minute shitpost based off of your Instagram story from a little while back. This is easily one of the funniest things youve ever uploaded, I love it!

    Yes, you should definitely buy a pro-succ, put the 850 estate livery on it and call it the pro-state.
