Car feature: Two tone Chaser MX41

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010


I just happened to stumble upon this great looking two-tone Toyota Chaser MX41 hardtop coupe on Auctions Yahoo: and it has got it all!

Apart from the oil cooler between the front bumper and chins spoiler the car also has a great early 80s two tone paint scheme, a set of Techno Phantom rims and (invisible here) a cucaracha horn behind the grille!

The car also comes with a big ducktail and a tsurikawa dangling below the rear bumper.

The SG is one of the highest grades of the Chaser: it has IRS and is powered by the 1M-EU engine. This low mileage example has been garaged in the past 10 years so there hardly any rust on it!

And what is a zokusha without some pimp blue interior?

The seller describes even hauling his children to the nursery with this car daily. How awesome is that?

The buy-me-now price of 950,000 yen (11,000 US dollar) may sound a bit steep, but it is definitely one of the best looking MX41s I’ve seen so far.

Hot or not: more than 1 million Suzuki Alto Works

Friday, April 23rd, 2010


Even though I accidentally posted a wrong picture with last weeks Silvia S13 still 78% thinks it is hot! Can’t agree more with that!

This week we have a Kei bosozoku car: a more than 1 million reworked Suzuki Alto Works!
Hot or not: reworked Suzuki Alto Works
Hot or not: reworked Suzuki Alto Works

Well, no doubt the owner put a lot of effort in this little Alto: a set of 13 inch 7J and 8J SSR Star Sharks (Sutashaku) with 165/65 R13 tires stretched around it, big lip, godfather horn, 80s racing paint scheme, rollcage, four point seat belt and a tiny momo steering wheel.

But I doubt that all that together was worth, like the seller says, over 1 million yen. Maybe back in the 1994 when this car was bought new?

Anyhow, it is not about the auction, it is about the car… A little reworked Alto Works, hot or not?

Bosozoku car feature: Daihatsu Move toilet zokusha

Friday, March 5th, 2010


Remember the Lawswon Daihatsu Mira? The same person created a Daihatsu Move toilet zokusha now:
Daihatsu Move toilet zokusha
Daihatsu Move toilet zokusha

And as you can see some key elements are returning: the roofchop, the big cross and the blow up doll…

Nice thing about the current auction is that they provided a big gallery with several pictures. So they started out with an old beaten up Move:
Daihatsu Move toilet zokusha

One beaten up Move: check!

Then roofchopped it:
Daihatsu Move toilet zokusha
Daihatsu Move toilet zokusha

One rooftop: check!

And then added scooters, toilets and other accessories to it:
Daihatsu Move toilet zokusha
Daihatsu Move toilet zokusha

Wacky accessories: check!

The great thing is that you can actually buy it on Auctions Yahoo for a mere 1,900,000 yen (21,000 dollars!). You can find the action here: Daihatsu Move zokusha

Bosozoku car feature: It used to be a Daihatsu Mira

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009


A few weeks ago Beeoneoneoh found this great zokusha on Auctions Yahoo:

Yes, that’s right: a Daihatsu Mira (also called Cuore outside Japan) with a chopped roof, an inflatable Deunan Knute sexdoll on the rear seat and parody chickens of Naruto and Goku painted all over the car! Or would it rather be an itasha instead?

WTF!? Lawson convenience store sponsorship on this zokusha?

From the rear you can still tell it is a Daihatsu Mira by the rear lights. Other than that there is not much resembling the original body anymore. ;)

Big thanks to Beeoneoneoh for finding this on Auctions Yahoo!
