@@Brojunior84 LMFAO you know that it didn't take long for me to come up with that
3:56 JESus!
I own a 1999 JZX100, and it's just plain awesome.
I just got a 1997 chaser tourer V jzx100 80mm turbo from factory and the five speed manual all original from the manufacturer an full interior package. 82k miles and one owner an garage kept in Japan never seeing snow or salt
@@leviorourke7498if your in cali how did you get the registration
@@leviorourke7498 That's amazing man. Mine was also garage kept in Japan and only 1 owner. Mine is 115,000kms (~71500miles). Also a Tourer V with full Aero Kit, R34 GTR Wheels, Tein Flex Z coilovers, TRD front Strut Brace etc. Only downside is that it's auto, but I love it. I believe it has a shift kit too for the trans.
I just got a 1997 jzx100 that is a bit beat up but I'm slowly restoring it. It wasn't smoked it so that's nice. Interior is in pretty good shape but I need to fix the dashboard or get a new one as where the defrost vent is it's peeling back. I've got a new set of door cards on the way, a few trim pieces, HKS Coils. It's got a bunch of TRD parts already on it, TRD wheels but they're beat up so I wanna get those restored. Mine has 237000km has a r154 and 1jzgte vvti. It needs a full paint restoration, the bay paint matched and cleared, and dry ice blast everything.
I’m workin to buy a 97 mark 2 that’s minty mint and basically stock
chaser prices up 10% since this video's release
hahaha
Great news for the owners lol
And I hate him for that
Dw fam just get an avante or a grande 3.0 model. Cheaper and easier to upgrade. Some of them came factory equipped with a 2jzge from the mk4 supra and smaller diff. Im sure some of those is300's came equipped with an LSD. The chaser is the IS300's daddy; some parts can swap over. let your mind run wild with that info.
Matt K correct, my 03 is300 has an lsd from factory! Hoping to own a jzx100 next!
“The JZ was... big pimpin” 😂😂😂🙌🏽
Am i the only one that loves "Up To Speed" intro?

Thanks Donut Media for the mention of our company when using our clips. Also, super-lol that one of Mark's videos got in there but you called him "JDM Auction Agent" instead of his company name... I'm laughing on the floor of my house.
Talks about railroads in Japan and shows a video from a crash in Spain. XD

Toyota Altezza - Everything You Need to Now | Up to Speed
A corolla?
GoodGuy213 in America its a Lexus Is300. Aka my first car with a non turboed 2jz
ALTEZZA AS200 (1GFE)/RS200 (3SGE) IS200 (1GFE)/IS300 (2JZGE)
naw bro the Toyota Avalon
Nah, Toyota Scepter Wagon with 1jz. I had 95 in Japan.
It continued as JZX110 and JZX120, it never died. It's now called a Mark X.
Least someone else here knows
Techically it was discontinued, there is no chaser name anymore. The mark 2, Cresta and Chaser were all discontinued and their replacement was branded the Mark X. Even if it's got the same code, it doesn't have the name.
And... They just ended Mark X production as well...
We have a ton of Mark Xs here in Jamaica they are bonkers fast
Yup its called the Mark X you would know if you live in countries that get jdm cars
We also had the Cressida in Europa. My dad owned a 83 modell DX with a 2.0 liter Inline 4 gasoline engine.
Just started my integra dc5, and I'm looking towards a classic jdm to build next. And I see a lot of these different models but just dont know about them all yet. And your show helps get my mental gears turning in a better direction
Up to speed on James
That episode will take years.

Just got turned on to this channel not too long ago. This guy is my favorite host anywhere. Love him
8:15 oh my heart
Hey, James! Great video about one of Japan's best sedans. I remember seeing one in Japan and the owner was blown away that I wanted to ride in his car. Luckily, he romped on it and that single turbo 1J was... Yeah, it was like being in a 2JZ Supra. Fast and I enjoyed it. The R33, GT-R was a better car. Back to the Chaser though. There's people building up Cressida cars in the USA like their Japanese counter parts. Same with the old Crowns. Thankfully, Toyota classic RWD cars have a large following in the USA. As, one day I plan to build another one of these cars. Thank you, Donut Media and team. (:

Everything you need to know to get up to speed on TVR
- Fiberglass body on tubular frame - Proprietary NA 6-bangers - Revving hard & being sick 15% of the time, tucked in garage waiting for maintenance the other 85% - Will either kill or bankrupt you whenever gets a chance at it Bottom line: a pretty fast powder keg - when it starts and runs properly that is
I saw a jzx100 chaser the other day The thing looks sick and sounds even better especially with that sweet sweet turbo flutter
I used to love the 80s Cressida! Smooth I6 power and cool Japanese square button dash stuff!

YES - a lot of history, especially cool how Z30s were designed in the US and something as advanced as the UZZ32 with active suspension was created in 1991, not to mention the fact that they had gps and reverse cameras in 91 too!

Haha, russian videos, classic. We imported so much mark2/chaser/cresta cars, i everyday see it on roads))
In bad condition. Трупы одни уже. С третьим по счёту контрактным мотором. Печаль-беда, короче.
man i'm moving to russia also hello neighbors
Same here in nz
Malaysia also too. So many 80s and 90s Japanese sedan imported here but expensive
Sir which one is better chaser or mark 2 ?
The historical automotive content, injected humor, and James's passion for seemingly all things automotive, make THIS channel an AWESOME change of pace! In typical crackhead fashion, I'm left ALWAYS wanting to watch "just one more!" Great work guys! 👊
All the facts in this video are legit 😉. That's why I subscribed

Chaser??? Never heard of it. Good job Donut Media.
Here so early the science garage link is missing

I learned about the Chaser back around 2008 when i got a game called Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 for the ps2. I fell in love with the car and wodnered why I never saw it in person.
i once ran over a what I thought was an abandoned chaser with my toyota tundra, which is an excellent candidate for one of these "up to speed" videos. It wasn't until much later, two winters after, I learned the car was inhabited by someone I knew as a child. He had moved long ago for forgotten reasons and I hadn't actually had thought of him in a nascent way since boyhood. Then suddenly I found myself learning of his tragedy and my complicity of it over a very brief run in with an acquaintance at a christmas party.
Alfa Romeo and Lancia called, they said they're pretty upset about the absence of their video.
Lancia cancelled their call.
Oh my, wasn't expecting this! One of my favorite cars of all time!
just bought my 97 Chaser! I'm in love lol
my folks had 2 Cressidas in the 80s-90s. They were super luxurious at the time.
I actually paused my hero academia for this and now im scared Humphrey is talking to me
hi im from the future and the most recent season of my hero is 35% filler so feel free to puase it
I did same but was watching initial d
Ocelot_Zz eyyy
Why be scared?
Hey James my favourite person on donut. Keep up the great work. Ps I think I saw you in a old quiznos commercial
Saw a handful of these In Japan about a month ago. All modded out and slammed etc. Never could tell wtf they were until this video! they look sick!
1G-GUE was a great engine loved to rev unlike the 1G-FE with vvti!
Make some #hrsprs or HRS PRS-Shirts! Need one!
Yessss!!!
“ you can have any chaser as Long as it’s a corona “

I'm a hondaboy, but no other car compares to a chaser. nothing else give that [thug in a suit] vibe like a chaser.
Lol i thought it was a Avalon at first glance
V TEC IS SH*T
Well said man
But still... HONDA GANG
Honda = Cool vape mods
This beautiful car is essentially a competitor to the inline six (Barra) Ford Falcon (sedan) here in Australia.
I would love to have an old Cressida(especially the Cressida wagon)! The 1989-1993 Cressidas would be great especially with antilock brakes!
This is what I've been waiting for
Picking up my Chaser in less than one week! Perfect timing haha
1:44 i love how he says that
After X100 was the X110 Verossa. The top spec model got the drivetrain of JZX100. Later Verossa and Mark II would merge as Mark X and continue till December of 2019. Verossa is a decent forgotten drift car. 1JZ+FR.
