I don't know much about the Chaser's, they're a rare car over here, especially if they're a manual. Engine and driveline in them have a fairly good reputation but I've no idea how it is as a driving package.

The Galant and Legnum VR4's are rockets, even in stock form they're doing around the high 12 to 13sec mark 1/4 mile on road tyres, which is none too shabby really!

Pretty much everything you'd find in a Evo models of the same era ended up in those cars but with a different engine, of which is a very powerful and compact piece of work. I've said it before that they are not the most enjoyable engines to work on, but like someone else pointed out, not a lot of the really modern cars are very much fun to fiddle with! To the best of my knowledge neither have anything particually 'grenade like' about them

I would go for the Toyota Chaser Tourer V (JZX-100)

Great performance sedan, very clean looking, and inconspicuous to those not in the know in regards to the less common imports.

I personally think it would be highly enjoyable lining up next to a few falcon's/commodore's. :(

I've seen a couple on the roads (not many though), with subtle exterior mods, and they look very neat, whilst not screaming for attention.... ,although driving past one with a 3inch exhaust, and an FMIC neatly hidden behind the front bar definatly got my attention. :teehee:

The VR-4's are definately great cars, with the Legnum being a stationwagon version rather than a sedan like that of the Galant, so depends on what exactly your Dad is looking for.

IMO, the Chaser is a definate winner.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
