DAILY DRIVEN
Troy Griffin 1998 Toyota Chaser JZX100 Location: Papamoa Occupation: Glazier
NZPC: Hey Troy, that is one super clean JZX. How long have you owned it for? Troy: Thanks guys, I have owned it for two years now and couldn’t be happier. Definitely the best decision I’ve made!
NZPC: What were the key areas you wanted to address when building this car and how have you achieved them? Troy: I haven’t really done too much to it — I just wanted it to look clean, simple, and like something that had come out of Japan.
NZPC: How do you best enjoy the Toyota? Troy: I get joy out of driving the Chaser every day to work. A lot of people will stop and ask me questions about it as they are so rare in New Zealand. It’s great to be able to be different, but still in a way blend in.
NZPC: Do you have any future plans for the engine? Troy: Possibly some Tomei products to help move things along, but I’m still deciding as to what to do and what works best for a daily driven car.
NZPC: Thanks a lot for chatting to us Troy, we can’t wait to see what you come up with next.
NZPC: What originally made you get into the JZX chassis? Troy: It was Daigo Saito who was my original inspiration. The way he drifts this big chassis with such style and speed, he sure makes the JZX stand out from the crowd.
