    Supras and Skylines get all of the attention. But there is one JDM import that has flown under the radar here in the States. A car that has been a staple of the Japanese drift scene. A car that you might remember from long nights playing Gran Turismo. The JZX100 Toyota Chaser! Today let's take an in-depth look at a tastefully modified 1996 Toyota Chaser Tourer V, and find out why you should probably buy one.

    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.

    • @HelloRoad
      @HelloRoad  9 місяців тому

      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.

    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.
