    Default chaser =- tow car

    hi guys...

    just wondering what ppls thought on chasers are >?

    i really want to get one as a every day + tow car + midnight thrasher .

    do they come in non-turbo version ?

    and if i was to drop a non-turbo engine out of a supra will it be any good for towing ?

    josh has a jzx 90.

    the non turbos only come in 2L na and diesel.

    dunno if either of those would be a good tow car. the 2L def' not.

    if youre gonna bother to do a conversion, i would consider just a cressida?

    though theyre not the prettiest, the grande's are plush as, air, steer, leather, electric seats, cruise, they have everything.

    and you can get a good one for 2 grand.

    wouldnt even do the conversion till you popped the 7m.

    Cool cars... But everyone is jumping on the bandwagon atm with them and they cost a bit for what they are.

    get an aristo. bigger capacity, auto which is better for towing and cheaper by a fair bit. make an easy 250atw with the 2j aswell

    haha you love the 3rz idea hey haha.

    No reason why a chaser/cresta/mk II couldnt be a sweet tow car.

    short answer no

    you'll break diffs and centres. gear ratios would be wrong for say hills and hwy..

    also the car is not built for that sort of use in mind.. Therefore the rear cradle and chassis would not be sufficent for the load force that it would be subject to while towing.

    chasers are so multi purpose, wheels, coilovers, 2 way, clutch and you wouldnt even need to tow you drift car to the track because you're already driving it.

    Roll to work in it, do what ever in it, cops will think its a hotted up camry. Perfect.
