Has anyone seen the Japan TRD all parts catalog? To me, the body lines of the Toyota Chaser look very, very, VERY similar to that of our beloved camry. TRD USA is of no help though they told me my quickshifter wouldn't fit a GEN 3, and I showed them who's boss! Anyway point being, it would be nice if they used the same chassis so some parts would fit up (e.g. Strut bar).

if the chassis is the same maybe someone with a lotta knowledge, money, and contacts in japan can get hooked up with the right parts to create a RWD camry with that 1jz engine (1jz-gte is the supra engine right? starting to forget some engine codes) that would be like the ultimate sleeper and would make actual drifting on a track with a camry possible (no way is pulling the e-brake on an fwd car drifting as many of you will agree).

on second thought, might as well import the whole car just for the hell of it hehehe

is it me or does that chaser resemble a bmw in the front?
the question should be, "is that j-spec 96 camry just about the ugliest camry you've ever seen?" it looks like its stuck in a corolla body with a crown majestic front on it.

At least they got it right in 97 and on (and with importing 2-Door Camrys and Camry wagons over there as Scepters)

honestly, I like that chaser...change teh orange signals to clear, and give it a nice paint job...its a pretty sweet lookin ride. I'd take it...but thats just my 2c

personally...i think the ES300 body line look much more similiar to the Chaser..except its RWD and the chassis

but for exterior i m always wonder if the side mirror would fit my ES300 cuz some of the chaser they got turning light on the side mirror....

btw wat year is tha "square " camry ..? never seen it be 4.. but the bodyline look so much like Toyota Crown...

I have been all over that site before. And it seems they were all wagons. I found one 4 door that said camry on the back. But I just went there now for kicks, and the fist member I clicked on was a 2 door that said scepter on the back. Odd, that I didnt find that before.

But it would still be nice if anyone could tell me some web sites to go to.

thanks
