Ride of the Day: 1998 Toyota Chaser
By Sean O'Hara
If you’ve never gotten a good look at a Chaser, your best shot is while it’s parked, like this one. If it gets out on the highway, this long-nosed cruiser will get to 60 mph in under five seconds; it can cruise up to 180 mph in a hell of a hurry and stay there all day — chase that.
A list of the mods includes:
- ECU HKS F-Con V
- Boost HKS EVC4
- Fuel pump Walbro 255lph
- OS Giken
- Torsen
- Intercooler Greddy V-Spec
- Blow-Off HKS Super-SQV
- Apexi Power Intake
- Exhaust Kakimoto racing
- Blitz racing monitor DC
- Bilstein B6 Sport
- Cusco
- Body Vertex
- 17″ AME Tracer
- Bridgestone Potenza 235/45 and 255/40
Why We Like It
The way this is modded out, it looks a lot like a 745i, but with more Japanese flare and style. It only sports 350 horses at the wheel, but the timesheets and Dyno on this one says it can use ‘em all at the drop of the right foot.
What We’d Change
Many find right-side drive to be the ultimate in cool. I, however, find it disorienting at best. Though it isn’t a huge drawback, it’s difficult to ignore if you’re conditioned your whole life to sit in the other seat.
