LukeAE71 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) After a nearly 4.5 year drought of owning a JZX100 Chaser I managed to convince the wife that one would make a far better daily/family vehicle than her VZ Commodore. The specs: JZX100 Chaser Tourer V Pearl White 74000 kms Auto Factory TV, GPS Sat Nav and 6 CD Stacker Grade 4 auction vehicle - looks unused inside and out! Some sort of exhaust Plans: Front Mount Cooler Exhaust etc Boost.Controller Aiming for ~200 rwkw with stock exterior and wheels Pics Monday Edited March 25, 2012 by LukeAE71 Quote
7shades Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 Uncle Shady approves of this decision :) Quote
Chobis Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 This purchase has just the right amount of "animal" about it. Good boy! Quote
LukeAE71 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Posted March 25, 2012 More pics to come later in the week when I get the plates for it. Itching to drive it again!! Quote
Chobis Posted March 31, 2012 Report Posted March 31, 2012 Looks sweet mate. Exceptional condition by the look of it. Definitely an excellent replacement for the thing it replaced. Quote
LukeAE71 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) What makes this purchase even better is that my missus wants to buy herself something smaller within a year or so, and this car will become MY daily :dance: Anyway, some more pics. Night time.... tried to catch the pearl a bit more. Looking at some rims for this tomorrow in 18 x 8.5 and 9.5. Also ordered new intercooler. Edited April 5, 2012 by LukeAE71 Quote
7shades Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 I'd forgotten just how povo they look stock, without the kit... And those indicators... What were they thinking Quote
LukeAE71 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Posted April 5, 2012 In a way the povo look is appealling because it doesn't exactly scream "look at me". I'll be changing that though :wink: The remaining parts of the factory lip kit are remarkably cheap these days as are the clear indicators. Wheels, Kit, Clear indicators and a Camry badge and it'll be sweet :blush: Quote
Hiro Protagonist Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 As much as I like JZX100s (and I hope to own one in a few years as a family car, with the Soarer as a daily for me), I still don't like the look of the front lip - just one too many layers/lines there, especially when all-white so it stands out like dogs balls. Still, looks nice and clean :D Quote
7shades Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 The S1 bar is way too busy overall. The S2 however... I'll even be ditching the lateral bits in the lower grille opening soon. Clean. Quote
Hiro Protagonist Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 I'd be happy with the S1, just without the extension lip... Quote
LukeAE71 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Posted April 9, 2012 Ok I said I wouldn't... but then these came up for sale locally 18 x 8.5 and 9.5. Big BIG lips on these bad boys. Should be ok street fitment too. Also purchased a Greddy LS Intercooler last week. Just gotta find some time to fit all these items and get tyres etc. Quote
philbey Posted April 13, 2012 Report Posted April 13, 2012 Dude. Tirerack.com Don't even think about buying rubber locally, ship in from the us. 1 Quote
LukeAE71 Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Posted April 14, 2012 My best mate works in a tyre shop so I'm all sorted price wise. Tyres arriving next Friday, fitting Saturday. Damn sat nav - I have been trying to work out how to get it to talk to me in Jap and sure enough it has a lovely female voice over for directions. Now I just have to work out how to turn her off!!!!
