AA63

I found this enginebay image on a carprofile at Minkara:

The car itself is an AA63 Carina with an almost stock 4AGE in it, nothing fancy at all. However, as you can see all stickers are on the inside of the enginebay and not on the outside of the car, like for instance on the fender as it is done a lot nowadays. Must probably be the influence of examples taken from movies like The Fast and The Furious...

This car profile is of an owner who at least owns the car since the early 90s and these stickers look like they are from that era as well. Look at the Option sticker: it's from before they started doing videos as well! So I assume this is really oldskool sticker tuning! ;)

I came across this very nice tuned and lowered Carina Surf:

I must say it is not overdone and these rims fit the car very well!

The Surf is the public version of he Carina Van and came standard with a 1S 1800cc engine and had a solid rear axle (like my TA60). Basically it is the same as the Van, but it is more luxurious.

This car has been tuned with a 20v 4AGE blacktop:

But it still got the originial gauge cluster. Why isn't there a aftermarket revmeter? Perhaps the owner doesn't stress the car??

The car has also a bed in it. Must be really comfortable for all those meetings the owner is attending. ;)

And it is not the only nicely tuned Carina Surf/Van around:

Next to it you can see the famous very lowered Carina Firevan!

Also a strange thing: I can't find the owner of the Carina Firevan. I can only find it in pictures of other people attending meetings. Did anyone else find the owner yet?

Yesterday I finally brought the Celica Supra rims to Hil Coatings to get them sandblasted and powdercoated.

They are going to be silver-grey, just like the OEM rims of the Carina AA63 GT-R had:

I can pick them up next thursday!! :)
