Remembering Japanese cars from the past
A little bit different than the previous nostalgic posts is todays post. At the festival I found two Lexus IS200s where the engine was swapped in favor of some other engine. The (sorry to day this) lesser one was this IS200 with genuine JDM Altezza grille:
It has been imported to the Netherlands less than a year ago as an IS200 but on papers it already had a 2.5 litre engine. I think you can already guess what engine it had…
Indeed! A second generation 1JZ-GTE: Continue reading
Such a shame: driving through dense traffic near the Yaesu line in Tokyo and giving priority to this old Toyota Century when it suddenly makes a wrong move!
The driver receives a well earned baka from the driver in the video after the jump.
Another J-tin destruction mix video by 44magnumM29 and this time most definitely not for the fain hearted: in the first half minute a blue hakosuka Skyline is bumpercar-ed into scrap metal. Don’t worry: it is only a short nosed four door GC10. ;)
Also watch out for several Toyota Centuries and kujira Crowns to be blown up!
And a bonus question: can anyone guess the car featured from 1:04 till 1:40?

BTW: the drama series is not named (44magnumM29 is afraid it gets removed) and stunt work is performed by stuntman Mike and his team.
The Toyota Century is an amazing car! I did see a Century from the 80s in the Louwman Collection museum and it is HUGE!
Personally I’m not that fond of slammed VIP cars, but when I watched this video of TFL taking care of the second generation Toyota Century:
It has got huge Brabus wheels, a fender pole, hovers 5 cm above the ground and let’s not forget that hum (which you can’t hear in the clip) from the huge 5 liter V12!
