[@RetroCarsForever]

Dude, you have SAVED this poor car! It was a literal basket case, and now look at it... Driven daily, going to car shows and meets, and carving canyons...Truly its best life!

[@HNatureTV]

What was wrong with it? It's for sale now

[@SwapBlogRU]

It's cool to see youtubers posting videos about these cars nowadays. It brings back a lot of nostalgia for me. People can say all they want about Russia being a backwards country, but back in the 2000's we had a booming car culture, and these sorts of JDM legends were all over the place (as they were legal to import back then). The X90/X100 series cars (Mark II/Chaser/Cresta) literally had cult status in those days. They still sort of do, but a lot of them have been crashed or destroyed since then, and if back then these were affordable - now they command a premium and cost many times more than they did back then. I sold my JZX90 Chaser Tourer V in 2010 for 200 thousand rubles (admittedly it was a bit rough, and it had all 280 horsepower written in its vehicle passport, which strangely enough was pretty rare, usually it'd be 180-200, which is what the N/A 1JZ-GE was rated at, and which meant that transport tax was really high). Nowadays I don't think you can find one for any less than, like, 1-1.5 mil (with really good and extensively modified ones transactioning for 2.5-3 million). I probably should've hung on to mine.

[@HelloRoad]

What do you think of the JZX90 Chaser? Also, should I import another car???

[@АртемПрохоров-Лукин]

YES!! Maybe Mitsubishi Magna Ralliart next?)) It's rare rad and obscure compare to Evo)) but looks similar to it))

[@АртемПрохоров-Лукин]

Oh, and Tourer V is pretty rare, if you don't know))

[@deepvoicebanton1]

Yeah you should BUT the reason most Ppl feel to drive more Vehicle is what I'd bring. So the Nissan Pulsar GTR OR a Toyota Starlet *TRUST ME* you'll NOT be sorry

[@mexicanspec]

Yes all the Mexican cars, from me.

[@p.informatico1320]

If you have the money and feel like it, why not a european car this time? I' thinking about the Rover 216 GTI, which is pretty special for several reasons, is based in a Honda drivetrain (easier to fix in the US) and than you can find for about 5.000 € in good conditions. Also the Volvo 480 is a personal favourite of mine, specially in the Turbo version. Both of them got a lot of curiosities, and i thought about telling you about it, but if you are a bit like me, I'm pretty sure you would enjoy better researching all those facts than beeing told about it. You could also buy a SEAT Ibiza I, which was developed from a Giugiaro design intended for the Golf II, and used engines developed by Porsche (branded as System Porsche).

I want one bad. My old roommate is importing cars, and he got a white JZX100 Tourer V 5 speed last year that was super clean with some high dollar mods. The TRD wing was a bit much but still, the car pulled so hard and sounded awesome. Seems like the ultimate car to me as I prefer the styling to ANYTHING of the last 20 years. Also, I really love the JZX81 Mark II.

[@bperl1]

There was a special edition TRD Chaser that was a race reward in Gran Turismo 2. It was by far my favorite car for a long time.

[@topofthepalm]

Soooo happy to see this video! Of course you should import another!

[@christianorduna5630]

I was able to get my gx90 cresta for 9k. Currently swapping the 1G out and rebuild a 2JZ for it. 👍🏽 the cresta is easily the most fun car I owned.

[@winstonmiu]

I’d rather have this than a Supra, if that’s considered blasphemous. I like the space and accessibility with 4 doors.

[@dhj-i8g]

Amazing choice-defiintely off the beaten path!

[@thebluexb]

Amazing to see the progress on this one! Color reminds me of Bayside Blue...

[@Redrally]

It still looks good!

[@TheSocialPraxis]

People I've come across also call the JZX100 a 4 door Supra so I just roll with it lol. I had purchased an x90 and canceled it because I had my heart set on a x100. Glad I did tho, this thing was in much better shape than the x90. That HU is 100% 90s vibes 😅. Congratulations on the car man, it's awesome 👌🏽. Part of your previous x100 Chaser review was an affirmation that I made the right choice, too.

[@leopardcat9]

I love my 1995 JZX90 Mark II tourer V. Mine is the dark green color that almost looks black.

[@BigNiz82]

Ethan! That car is so 🔥🔥🔥 Enjoy my dood 🙏

[@paulhardman2515]

Looks awesome! I knew nothing about these but I really dig it!

[@pro_thwg_tion.1865]

11:58 you should check out the Lamborghini hurácan sterrato off-road version lol

[@p.informatico1320]

Great video! Now we need a "Night drive" as you used to do... About the car, I think it need some aesthetic mods, to keep it from looking like a fast & furious atrezzo car...

[@Dominator775]

Very well made and edited video!!

[@HelloRoad]

Thank you!! 😀😀😀

[@inflameswetrust2194]

You have a carbon fiber trunk? I see the ripple in the paint during closeups.

[@HelloRoad]

Correct

[@fatihyucel6534]

Hey Bro nice Video also i wanted to know what was the Name of the Music at 4:40 ?😊

[@7Fields16]

I love it. Amazing car.

[@infernoking7504]

I want to import japanese diesels and test how really reliable they are.

[@alejandrogarciameza5021]

From the front end it looks like a buffed Sentra B13 haha

[@mexicanspec]

Ethan I am going to guess you now have a Montana LLC.

[@MuhammadRizwan-kg2uz]

Amazing car brother 😮😮

[@air-headedaviator1805]

With the quality of the Chaser why did Toyota choose the Altezza as its 3 series fighter vs this under a Lexus badge?

[@HelloRoad]

I'm guessing vehicle size maybe? Pretty sure the Altezza is closer in size to the 3-series of that era

[@caiolimacaldas]

Why Subaru doesn't benefit with the BMW-Toyota partnership ?

[@eduardorivera4100]

We sorta got a chaser the gs 300 is basically the same car sorta

[@jackle4100]

what about the jzx101?

[@rightlanehog3151]

Ethan, How does the Golden State set an emission testing standard for a car that was never sold there? 🤔

[@HelloRoad]

It can be inspected and certified for CA, but it costs a lot of money. Currently reg'd with family out of state until I sort that out

[@rightlanehog3151]

@@HelloRoad Whatever you do, don't tell anybody. 😉

[@mexicanspec]

Get yourself a Montana LLC and you are set.@@HelloRoad

[@УЛЮКБЕГ]

Привет , скажи пожалуйста сколько стоит сейчас машина

[@andrewlee88]

Well done! most mature video of a drift chaser ever except best motoring videos that were recorded before drift culture devolved into IG likes, hoodies, tattoos, trap music, sneaker trends, beards, and all those things that make ppl identify themselves as a unique snowflake but clearly a part of a larger movement.... blah blah blah

[@xFactoryUSA]

Your 1st Gen GS300 was more Supra than the jzx90 😂

[@davidcohen4237]

You make such great content you need to promote yourself more

[@um...sometimes1731]

What brand is that exhaust tip?

[@HelloRoad]

I'm not sure! I couldn't find any branding on it. My guess is it was installed way back in the '90s.

[@collinwinter6210]

I liked video in 1st 10 seconds cuz chaser.. that all i need to know

[@deroll14]

Fallow you from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

[@pro_thwg_tion.1865]

2:09 🗿 That was some ad

[@Orchlon8888]

Tire and rims size?

[@HelloRoad]

Tires are 225/40/18. I don't remember the rim width

[@MrCorgh]

This has an enormous cult following in the Russian Far East. Even my mom had a Mark II in the late 90's / early 00's

[@deepvoicebanton1]

Yo Ethan do a little research on #KerryDrift #Jx100 from #Trinidad keep up the good work

[@ajsgarage6802]

99000 kilometers so 60k miles its rand new still

[@SuperSenis]

You know you're a racer when you got skinny arms 😆
