In a thrilling adventure to Malaysia, Larry Chen unveils a jaw-dropping creation: a V12-swapped Toyota Century that braved a 1500 km journey from Bangkok. This beast of a car, a 95-96 model, boasts a manual swap, standalone ECU setup, and custom tweaks for optimal performance. The chassis? A 79 Toyota Cressida RX35, with parts scavenged from a Hilux for the rear end and an S13 for the front subframe. And yes, it even keeps its air conditioning intact for those hot Southeast Asian drives.
But that's not all. Larry also introduces us to a V8-swapped Lexus from '92-'93, hailed as the "LS of the East." This Lexus, with its police lights and pristine interior, exudes power and style in equal measure. Both cars, despite minor hiccups like a gas cap spill, showcase the legendary Toyota reliability that enthusiasts swear by. The V12 masterpiece features a FuelTech fuel system, while the V8 Lexus sports BMW wheels and a fiery exhaust that spits flames like a dragon in the night.
Larry's journey through Malaysia not only unveils these automotive marvels but also highlights the meticulous craftsmanship and unwavering passion of their creators. From custom hoods for engine clearance to aftermarket seats and unique modifications, every detail speaks volumes about the dedication poured into these machines. With the V12 Toyota Century and the V8 Lexus, Larry Chen takes us on a thrilling ride through a world where innovation meets tradition, and where the roar of engines echoes against the backdrop of Southeast Asia's vibrant landscapes.
