Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Posing in front of your beloved Carina ST A40 with a huge glass bottle (presumably sake) made someone decide to draw whiskers on the owners face to mimic a cat:
Or maybe it is a Japanese habit to make someone unrecognizable on the web. ;)
Anyway this picture is certainly something to keep in your family album for future generations!
Found at Minkara
Today my RSS feed reader provided me two new lots on Auctions Yahoo and in this case it were two kouki (late type) tail lights for the Carina sedan sold for left and right seperately:
The red line under the tail light was only available on the GT, GT-R, GT-T and GT-TR Carina models.
The auctions start at 5800 yen (roughly 58 euros or 74 US dollar) which a fair price for these tail lights in an (almost) immaculate condition! It is easy to get these items through man-in-the-middle companies like Hayatonka.
(do take into account local transportation costs, handling fees and shipping to your doorstep may increase the price dramatically!)
The auctions can be found here:

Here is another short video: Continue reading
I’m finally back from my holiday in Hungary, so posts will be more regular than in the past three weeks! ;)

It had been parked next to a Suzuki motorcycle dealership and lucky enough the next morning it was still there and I took two quick snapshots.
The S14a has been lowered a little bit, has a bigger intercooler and put on a set of (currently) popular BBS alloys: Continue reading
