My Favorite Streets Cars Of Indonesia's The Elite Car Show's Parking Lot 

Thank you guys for watching. If you guys want a signed print for your wall I print all of them myself from my large format Canon printer larrychenprints.com/

*Supercars came over* Larry: Ooh these Minis made my day, I gotta take some pics.. Ignoring Lambos and GTRs like nbd 😂

Thank you Larry for excellent video covering not only the event but also the parking lot. As you said, sometimes you see the real build and passion there. I like how you explained a bit of background about Indonesian car culture as well. If I may add, yes you can't import used cars and before 1999 you aren't even allowed to import a new car due to government rules that dictated all new cars must be assembled in Indonesia. So car selection before 1999 was very limited. Another burden is that since 2015 we can't import used car parts legally anymore. So finding parts is hard as well, not to mention relatively high shipping cost (compared to Malaysia for example) and fluctuating currency. But it's not all bad, our DMV didn't really had a strict rules so people can modify car without had to worry. Labour is quite cheap as well and we have many talented artist that can create or modify any parts (in fact building a whole car as well). 7:46 Just want to share about Starlet, yes they do have Turbo version of P70 Starlet (known as Starlet kotak or boxy Starlet in Indonesia) but it's for Japanese market only and the car you see is a convert using Turbo parts. The whole converting is a big deal here, because we often get lower spec models and to stand out people look for parts from other markets or their luxury/sporting trim. This is even more expensive than let's say custom bodywork. There are stories of converted cars costing more than what you would pay for the real one abroad. I think this is one of the unique aspect of Indonesian car culture that I seldom see anywhere. 8:20 You know, you create quite a stir here when you say you like Corolla Liftback. They aren't really popular back in the day and even now. It's unique because it is the first time that Corolla was offerred in Indonesia beside sedan body. Unfortunately buyers find the styling odd, after that many were in bad condition and some of the body parts were expensive so people avoid building one as the price isn't worth it. But now there are people that start to notice this car and it's quite rare ad well. With you saying how good this car is, I think it's add credibility. Glad that I see some of my friend there, like 4:29, the owner did drive it daily. He was inspired by long distance rally like London to Sydney. 9:18 is a close friend of mine, he is regarded as an expert on Corolla E70 here (known locally as Corolla DX), his brother also drives one too (as nice as the blue one) and he drives it daily. What interests me is that these guys are still young (mid 20s and early 30s) just to show you how dynamic the scene here. Offroad is really big scene in Indonesia, unfortunately many offroad guys prefer to just drive straight to forest rather than attending exhibition, I think you should cover one next time. They spent huge amount of money on offroading here. 12:20 A bit note on Nissan Pathfinder, they are sold locally as Terrano and it was assembled here from 1995 to 2006. There is only one engine variant which is 4 cylinder 2.4 litre petrol with carburator (yes, all the way to 2006). The one in your video is facelifted version that came in 2003, which is notable for crystal headlight and Altezza style rear light. 16:20 This car is actually Holden HQ Premier, the grille was replaced by Chevy style grille for export market (they are called Constantia grille in Indonesia). Holden are popular in the 70s as a long distance taxi. Unfortunately many didn't make it (it was known to be used in car crushing stunt in one of the big autojumble event here). This particular car is owned by Mr. Dewa of Pluto Garage, a well known Holden builder here, he swapped the engine with Chevy Small Block (of course) despite being quite expensive and rare, American and Australian car scene here is quite vibrant. 19:21 Just want to add the Mini Jaksel, they are not exactly formal club per se, it's a bunch of friends that like to hang out at Bunna (a popular location for car enthusiast in South Jakarta) that happens to own a Mini. For authoritative Mini club in Indonesia is Jakarta Mini Club, the largest and one of the oldest in Indonesia (I should know, I'm part with them). There is also another Mini club called Indonesia Coopret Registry (the Coopret is a bit of a joke, it's sounds like k*pret which is a slang that doesn't really have equivalent in English, probably sounds like s**t). In the end Larry, amazing work and I would love to see you visit Indonesia again. You probably didn't notice but your voice really being regarded here. Like your comment on Liftback or Brio that you really like (I don't know if you aware, that Brio was often mocked because the owner spends almost 30 grand on one, but after you review it, suddenly people praised it). I would be more than happy to guide you around Indonesian car culture, trust me, there are more gems here than people imagine. Wish you the best Larry, cheers.

That Toyota next to the blue Beetle (0:55) is Kijang, which was Indonesia's best-selling car for years. Toyota Kijang to Indonesians is just like Ford midsize cars (Cortina-Sierra-Mondeo) to Europeans because not only being popular but also you can tell someone's social status by looking at its trim level. For example, Kijang LX means you really want a Kijang and want to get rid of your miserable Suzuki Carry but not having that much money, while Kijang Krista means you basically can afford (and being chauffeured in) a Mercedes but don't wanna be seen in one too often, so you decided to enter the 'stealth mode' in a Kijang instead

Indonesia is a land cruiser hotspot… You’re just in the wrong event for a 4x4, but dig elsewhere in the country and you’ll know what I’m saying… Great job man

I don't see much indo car culture, so this is actually great to see. Soo many interesting models. Highlights are those Starlets, Corollas and Minis. Also Larry, the red right hand drive chevy V8 is an Australian car. Holden HQ Kingswood.

These are the kind of videos that got me hooked on this channel a few years back. The more relatable builds that the average guy and gal would have. My favorite was definitely the slammed Mercedes wagon with the aggressive front lip. Such a baller vehicle 🤙😎

00:56 That's the 4th generation Toyota Kijang (Kee-junk), one of the popular Toyotas in Indonesia. The 5th to 7th generation are now called Kijang Innova. The latest generation now has hybrid powertrain and no more diesel, the hybrid has the same engine as the newest Prius Prime.

I like checking out the parking lot of shows more than the actual shows. That's where you get to see people's really cool dailys and project cars

2005 pathfinder was the craziest thing to me lmao, they literally just threw a dinky plastichrome grille on and called it a day lmao

That Mini crew is the Indonesian branch of the The Italian Job syndicate. 😅

Hey Larry , thats so cool to see your in Jakarta and found some odd cars you have never seen . The Chev 350 is actually a Holden Premier , Australia exported Holdens throughout all of South east Asia in the 70s-late 80s. Im glad you found one as they have massive Holden clubs over there and actually convert some of those into 2 doors , some actually resemble Camaros .

Love this type of content Larry! Great Job!!! Really enjoy seeing the different types of cars and different ways that people modify them and make them unique and tasteful to their own likings!!! AWESOME!!!

that red car towards the end is an Aussie Holden. They drag those a lot down under. Good stuff in Indonesia similar to the Philippines.

Didn't care for that first Mini guy but the rest of the cars and people you interviewed were great and it's always great to see how car culture is in other parts of the world. I've following Japanese car culture more closely over the years than anywhere else outside the US but southeast Asia like Indonesia and Malaysia are very interesting too.

Hi Larry, I'm from Indonesia, the Toyota you've seen next to the beetle is called Toyota Kijang (deer) is Indonesian most famous MPV with a long history (you should check out the kijang culture and history). That particular one famous as a nick name 'Kijang Kapsul (the capsule deer) as it's the first round body model. Unlike the older types which more boxy. The red sedan is a 70's Holden Kingswood (Australian car). Thank you for making this video and supporting Indonesian car culture! Peace!

This is my introduction to the car culture in Indonesia, thank you 🙏

I like your emotions when you are describing Toyota starlet, land cruiser fj61 and Corolla KE70. Thanks 🙏

Larry went full squirrel mode in this one... 😂😁🤟 Btw: that white Starlet Turbo SS really reminded me of my first car. It was a very boxy Nissan Micra 1.2 SS with similar spoiler, sideskirts and front lip. 740 kg of "fun" with a carburetor... 😜

Holden Kingswood, many variants 4 door like that a 2 door, Monaro, Ute / use guys call pickup variant eg like an El Camino, many engine variants usually 6cyl to various V8 variants in all body models as well, was Australian made until they closed the Holden Factory in 2016, sad times. Also Sprinter variants of the Liftback were a JDM imported Corolla, most Asian countries including Australia and New Zealand got these new as a Corolla, in a hatchback similar to a Honda EG, not in looks but size. 2 or 4 door, then Lift-back was like the 2 you showed the twin cam and earlier model, I think they were fuel injected in the late 80s, Toyota in Japan and Asia was very ahead of it’s time in both twin cam and Fi, they also had the Corona range which was a bigger version model range with Sedan Liftback and Wagon Variants also usually 2.0L very popular and great cars to they replace aced it with the Camry which imo was stupid move, Corona was massively popular here, but back to the Corolla, I also maybe wrong on that 88 you pointed out, but Corollas usual had many body variants in these markets from Hatch, 2/4door, Liftback, Sedan and Wagon, 1.4l 1.6 and even 1.8L before 2.0l took over late 90s early 2000s obviously Mt and AT also we got the turbo Starlet here and you didn’t see one but another cool car was the Mitsubishi Turbo Cordia and the Mitsubishi a mirage Turbo, which was good at blowing up usually, but Cordias were sick as it was the Japanese answer to the Renault Fuego another cool car in it’s day. Great look at car culture they def do it right and would love you to check out the off road scene as well, def a 60series btw, unsure if they have used an 80s grill and lights or if it’s a late Gen end of line 60s before they went to the 80s, I own a 1HD-T 91 80series, 60s are very rare here now and very sought after both here and in Aussie, it’s the new black for off road Toyota collectors and ridiculous prices if you can find one. Cheers.

I miss going to all the used performance parts stores where people would have gotten money for thier parts to buy something else ,but what an amazing place we would literally drive to 4 different store locations to see what each had and you could find so many badass parts .I moss Japan life all the street races like touge racing in the mountains of Otaku and surrounding areas or at the ports and of course the tracks and going to Hiroshima to sew the city and all the thousands of people

1:02 , its Toyota Kijang. Its an old car with a million memories, Indonesian Toyota's flagship. First Kijang was a pickup and Kijang was entered MPV Class and now Kijang was nicknamed Innova

That W220 Sclass (the blue one on Work wheels) is what I want my S55 to look like, so gorgeous

We did get the AE92 Corolla/Sprinter liftback in the USA it was sold as the Geo Prism in Chevrolet dealers in the late 1980s - early 90s. The GSi trim level of the Prism even came with a 4A-GE.

I am enjoying all your videos of different countries, I am from the Philippines and I am digging the Indonesian car scene. Please visit the Philippines too.

The white Starlet is the king of the lot!! 💪🏽

Mini crew made my morning 😂

Great selection, the 505 right at the beginning is boss. But what surprised me the most is the Chevrolet Spin at 11:01

Mini jaksel.. the most prestige car owners in south jakarta… very rich dudes… they all have nice collections of cars.. today they ride their minis..

That Benz wagon was on point

As an Indonesian, I just want say welcome to Indonesia

it would be a cool idea for a series of videos if you went arround to lesser known car modding hot spots, instead of the ones we all already know and the main stream cultures, just finding out the wierd sub cultures spread around the world in lesser known places and see how they mod their cars there, like a lerry columbus finding out the hidden gems of the car world and giving them their place in history and showing them to the world, basically what you're doing in this video thanks for the videos and for showing us the wonders of all the facets of the world of motorsports and car culture in general, sadly i can't participate in it myself so getting to be around it like this makes it easier to bear

Oh supercars... but those minis whatssup! That's awesome man truly made me smile when I heard that.

Yeah, that early Recaros looking fantastic, even 50 years later. These Wheels on the BMW calypso rot 5er are from AC-Schnitzer....

You should visit more countries and if you come to Sweden you have to visit Koenigsegg 🙂🤘🏻

Always like seeing other car coultures keep it up

That Aventador just rolled in Larry : OH MY GOD LOOK AT THIS MINIIIIII 😂

Larry be like. Maserati, Lambo, GTR........nah. Give my the Mini group. I feel you man.

Heck ya! Dig this style vid. Thank you, sir!

Great video Larry. Every show, you need to do a solo walk of the parking lot sir!

Indonesia has a really good cars and mod taste but the problem is plot holes and speed bumps so they really need a adjustable suspension for it, but i think the majority of that slammed cars owner lived in that BSD area (South Tanggerang, not Jakarta as you said but its close to it) so the streets is safe for slammed cars.

Thanks larry for visiting Indonesia car culture

how interesting they are in a car show but many of them didn't know you. what a miss you are legend bro. i also from jakarta

@larrychen that is a Holden Premier. Also sold as a Mazda Roadpacer with a Rotary engine. Common cars here in NZ

I love JKT I visit there a few times a year for work a great car scene and super nice people always friendly and welcoming.

Great video as always larry, Loves it

Great content once again, Larry

nice, the fact that i'm Indonesian, i'm proud thaat you like most of the car's parked there.

Love the video Larry. You seem like a top guy

The 16:20 although badged as a Chevy, was a Holden and most sold in Indo had a Holden badge, but some were sold as Chevy. In the early 1970s (which is when this car dates from) Holden was second to only Toyota for sales in the Indonesian market but had left local assembly by about 1987.

Wow larry in elite showcase... 🎉

It was honour to meet you in the event✌

this is a very good quality content

love these types of videos reminds me of Nori Yoro videos

The Corolla LiftBack you mentioned, I'd seen it in the US during my college in Eugene, OR that car was under Eagle brand. But I could only recalled the model Talon that share platform with the Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Larry here...mantap

indonesia is becoming more and more a big place for car culture , as much as other contry near indonesia like singapour etc

0:57 yeah, Toyota kijang, my favourite classic car family 5:08 an white Evo 10!?! 6:55 an white civic estilo has been found right on that corner 11:51 yeah, mini cooper and Golf R32 maybe

Indonesia car culture larry. .

0:55 this are toyota kijang this is a 4th gen kijang, it called kijang kapsul in philipines it called tamaraw, larry you should visit kijang comunity in indonesia they are crazy.. the put k24 engine, even 2jz gte, even crazier they stance it, perfect sleeper..

cool channel, definitely subscribe

1:42 That white Mitsubishi was sold as a Colt here in Australia, also in hatchback.

That Toyots is Kijang means Deer but also an acronym for Kerja sama Indonesia-Jepang, which translate to english is Cooperation of Indonesia-Japan

Larry, do you plan to go to South America someday(come to Brazil)? The car culture from down here is given close to zero visibility from the rest of the world and would be nice to have someone like you to explore and register the cool builds we have. You can hit the guys from Fueltech for help or Jamie Orr (even thoug he has more focus on the VW side of things). Greetings

Ayun ohhh innova!

A modern Mercedes on retro-looking SSRs shouldn't work as well as that E-Class near the start does. Ace stuff!

I'm waiting for the elite vlog

the fact that we can't import old cars but we have these classic cars is something to be think about.

16:18 that's a Holden HQ Premier from Australia. Was our 70s muscle car.

So many good cars but the Celica was my favorite

That white turbo starlet is so sick bro....

Thanks again for the eye candy Larry! :)

Larry Chen 👍👍👍👌👌👌

Pretty awesome. The mini's were cool...so were those Mercedes!

0:55 That's the 3rd generation and Indonesian exclusive toyota kijang innova. It had diffrent name in diffrent country. Here we called it Kijang/Innova. In UK and India its called Qualis, Sourh africa as toyota stallion. And etc. Only sold on Some part of asia. But it worldwidely known as "Innova"

I love the idea to travel and film car culture around the world. But please, buy a gimbal :P hahhahah

1:02 such a clean kijang😮

w124 always great looking

US had the Corolla liftback. It was under the Geo brand. Can’t remember if there was a Toyota version though.

4.26 that’s mine 😍🙏🏼

The Toyota culture is incredible

@16.20 the “Chevy” is an Australian Holden Kingswood

I don’t really understand why Brio couldn’t pass US regulations when Mitsubishi Mirage could. They’re practically the same car, maybe Brio is even better

You have to see more deep about our Indonesian car scene, especially the off road scene

@17:30 -- That Porsche 968 CS was very likely towed there. The maintenance to keep one of those running ... UGH! 🙄

Car culture is growing world wide while the U.S is pushing electric!!!! Sad😢

That Eg shoutout.

jangan bosen bosen koh main ke indonesia hehehe

Indonesia loves their slammed euro cars

3:17 whoa! you suddenly went all Seinfeld there.. 🤭

Larry, you need to go to a stance event (Ultrace or XS Carnight)!

That Celica is dream car material for me.

will you come again to Indonesia because there will be a Eid cruise the elite rare cars will be out on the road

That Lancer looks very similar to a Volkswagen Fox... three wheels for life!

nice

Hi larry😊 huuh huuh😂❤

THIS IS WHAT WERE WAITING FOR 😂🔥💯

There are a lot of European cars because in Indonesia, they're actually the cheap entry-level enthusiast cars. The popular JDM cars like what you have in the US either didn't enter Indonesia entirely, or insanely expensive.

That white model land cruiser ,we call it BJ60 in asia....something in 80s land cruiser

U shock right about that Nissan Pathfinder. In here its called Terrano. Like Nissan Tsuru on Mexico for Sunny
