Here’s Why You Need a Toyota Chaser JZX100!

[@HelloRoad]

So I should probably buy a Chaser, right?

[@dave11686]

Yes.

[@АртемПрохоров-Лукин]

YES!

[@palkarsai3668]

It makes you daughter happy. Dad is not disappointed either... Sooo..... YES

[@michaelwhite9375]

No. I do not want to see the "This is my Chaser and it's broken." video.

[@emiliorescigno]

It has silly sounds.

[@TheBeatlesShow]

I love the design of this car. It looks subtle yet sporty, and that's a hard look to pull off.

[@swmig19]

Similar in spirit to the E39 BMW 5-series, imo

[@patricklinkous]

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!

[@brett9823]

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

[@averyparticularsetofskills]

I love the video game menu-esque music Ethan uses in these vids. Creates the perfect mood

[@cbh148]

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.

[@siamiam]

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

[@RetroCarsForever]

Man vintage Japanese ads are the best 😂 Great video, always been curious about these.

[@Slaun1990]

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😂

[@sushpants]

That was such a good watch. Awesome production value! That turbo spool sound is intoxicating.

[@HelloRoad]

Thank you!!!

[@khalidhasan7509]

The chaser is the most aggressive and agile looking sedan from its era and it still looks outstanding. It is the most beautiful sport sedan in my eyes

[@kevinsomarriba5780]

Absolutely love these RWD Camry's*... Japan always get all the cool stuff! I'll just have to settle for my manual Lexus IS300

[@Element0145]

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

[@ArmoredLyonell]

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

[@tiaran83]

After the car’s history lesson, I’m a fan now❤ it’s such a unique flex and I very much appreciate this car.

[@Hanif_Ca]

1JZ always doesn't disappoint

[@mikehayes3921]

That is one sweet JDM Toyota. Peak Japan!

[@ryd_e.r]

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

[@sspadair1675]

Loved your daughter's comments! Made me laugh.

[@HelloRoad]

😁😁😁

[@OCDGuns]

I finally get the chance to say I’ll be owning one🥹I’ll be picking mine up tomorrow

[@HelloRoad]

😮😮😮😮

[@besssam]

I am happy I have owned one for 10 years now, as of 2022

[@tonysdiecastcustoms]

Beautiful review of this Toyota Chaser and definitely remember Gran Turismo and have a wonderful week brother 💯😁👍👊

[@ThePilotGear]

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.

[@leopardcat9]

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.

[@rightlanehog3151]

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👏👏👏👏

[@HelloRoad]

😀😀😀😀 No Chaser wagons, but some generations of the Mark II (based on this platform) could be had as a wagon.

[@djafri84]

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.

[@rightlanehog3151]

@@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.

[@tenkarabadger5244]

Well done and worth the watch for the integration of period commercials and race footage.

[@Element0145]

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 👍😂

[@captainhowie175]

i have a 1998 mark 2, wish i had the turbo... still its an awesome car. get looks everywhere i go because people here in US cannot tell what it is

[@turbowankel1264]

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.

[@govannigarcia7075]

Insta?

[@turbowankel1264]

[@player1GR]

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.

[@kaveric_7614]

The JZX100 really reminds me of the E39 5 series BMWs, especially from the rear

[@zSkNNYBNz]

I'd take a Jzx100 chaser over a Nissan Skyline GTR any day.

[@davidjensen5074]

Really cool car, and absolutely awesome video. I had never heard of the Chaser before.

[@the_JDM_fanatic]

Pretty sure you could have just adjusted the steering wheel higher? To see the clocks

[@DC2_Danny]

The Chaser is what the Supra wishes it was

[@the_JDM_fanatic]

Are you the Danny DC2 from wish? Sure you know the real dannyDC2 right from the UK 🇬🇧

Great video. Your daughter’s cameo made us laugh. Well done.

[@tom_forsyth]

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 :-)

[@gregorysmith3763]

love the zoomy sounds, dad 💯

[@petmywookiee]

Great Video. I own it’s big brother, a 2jz-gte Aristo. I always considered it the 4 door Supra, though. 😂

[@dave11686]

Dude you have the coolest sunglasses.

[@HelloRoad]

😎😎😎😎😎

[@paulsz6194]

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.

[@RezboaDog]

My favorite chassis. I wish they were still under the radar!

[@OddClancy]

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!

[@HelloRoad]

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.

[@OddClancy]

@@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 😅

[@Birmingham_racing]

Soo cute how your daughter loves the sound

[@Crotal_Karma]

Love it! Great video/review! ❤️

[@topofthepalm]

Love it, I need one.....and your shirt!

[@TheDigitalPixel-45]

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.

[@turbogears900]

Can you do a video on the toyota aristo jzs161

Same one from intouch, nice.

adding the kid towards the end was a nice touch to the dad jokes

[@butchdeadlift7551]

Oh, I know. I picked mine up from the port 7 months ago haha.

[@SONNYnAZ23]

Bro that suspension of a Corona mark 2!!!

[@burn_out]

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!

[@JZXGANG]

Got mine in 2016 and I never looked back 😆

[@dhj-i8g]

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).

The Chaser was not available in RSA

[@jawadulkarim9498]

Stop! I need these to stay cheap

[@fleuriejeanpierre]

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...

[@HelloRoad]

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

[@turbowankel1264]

Looking to around 3million for a clean manual tourer v

[@Jay-de8pe]

Do you even know of the jzx110 mark 2 or Blit

[@nacok9681]

yea, at first, I laugh at but when i came to know It's history then i am liking this Old monster 👍👍👍👍👍

[@RoadskiN]

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.
