Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Yesterday I received an email from Neil that he found some awesome car driving on the Irish highways, so I clicked on the link and faced this JZX100 taxi!
WTF: Chaser JZX100 taxi in Ireland!
Only a few drivers on the highway will actually take notice of such a car and that, of course, separates them from the ignorant… :P
Read more about this taxi at Juicebox!
How can the Chaser change the Chaser?
I don’t know how, but it surely turned out very nice in 1992 when the new Chaser JZX91 arrived!
Back in the early 90s I loved BMWs and especially the looks of the BMW E31 and even the “poor mans” 840Ci had a (back then) potent 286hp V8 in it… In the late 90s I refound myself and started to like the Japanese cars more, especially Toyotas and Nissans… I think this video sums up my own reflection perfectly:
The poor Beemer is chased down this tiny circuit by a big swarm of AE86s (sounds like a swarm of wild bees), a AA63 Carina and a Laurel C35 Toyota Chaser JZX100!
Run, Beemer! Run!
Creds go to RA64Freddy for finding this weird Toyota Chaser JZX100 nosejob on a Nissan 180SX RPS13:
Nissan RPS13 Chaser
It kind of resembles a Sil80 but then much better looking IMO. Now should it be called a Chas80 or rather a 180X?
I love these old JDM Toyota Chaser ads from the early 80s! Something about them makes them really 80s. Maybe the Chaser chime they use?
Especially this chime reminds me of the Sega chime. :D
The background tune is Please Please Me by the Beatles and it suits this SG Tourer model very well! BTW: the SG Tourer is a 1G-EU powered GX61, so not the more sporty 1G-GEU model.
How about some sporty action from this 5M-GTEU powered MX63 then? Of course the commercial screams (and chimes) the word Turbo all over it! And a happy birthday to you as well!
Or fancy a bit more quiet hardtop sedan then?
Yes, another hilarious posting today! This picture was too funny not to post. ;)
Hello Chaser JZX100
Now that’s a Chaser that will certainly not be forgotten when it goes sideways on any circuit! :P
Found at Doritens blog about a pink meeting in March.
