Celica XX

WTF: Toyota Silica MA46

No votes yet

We've all seen them and loved them: the Nissan Sileighty. Basically a Nissan 180SX with a Silvia S13 nosejob and the end result is a very beautiful blend of a GT hatchback sportscar.

Now what would you do if you do have a Silvia frontend but don't have a 180SX? Take a Celica XX and swap the Silvia's nose on it!
WTF?! Toyota Silica?!
WTF?! Toyota Silica?!

I don't have a better picture of it, but nevertheless it's looks are stunning!
So, Celica XX MA46 + Silvia S13 = Silica?

Back in 1987, when I was still in highschool and my dad still drove the Carina wagon this guy crashed his Celica XX into a red car while being chased by the police and drove through a red light.

What's more 90s than visiting the Fuji International Speedway circuit with your friends? Especially if most of them own a sportscar?

Yes, that's a whole bunch of AE86s, a Celica XX, a 280ZX and...and... a Sprinter AE82? And is that a female driver next to the panda white Levin AE86?
Definitely a picture worth keeping in your family album! :)

Carina Sightings: Lucky Seven!

Your rating: None Average: 5 (1 vote)

Today I own my TA60 Carina for exactly three years! I bought it on the seventh of the seventh of the seventh (07-07-2007), so in other words: lucky seven! This is what the car looked like when I bought it:

You can even see my old AE86 parked in front of it!

I bought the car after my girlfriend (in the meanwhile she became my wife) became pregnant of our son. When test fitting the child seats in the AE86 it was clear that the only way to fit the child seat was to put it in the front seat. Since everyone trying to sit in the back of the AE86 was complaining about every speedbump I took, cramps and more of that I realized it would be impossible to keep the AE86. So I tried to find a four door Cressida, Corona or Carina and found this Carina in a good deal. Basically the TA60 Carina can be considered a four door AE86 with a puny engine: it has (almost) the same axle, the same gearbox, the same steering rack, same front struts and the only difference is the absence of a 4AGE and a LSD!

Japanese rustoseums (part nine)

It has been some time since I posted the last rustoseum, so here are some more! What about this poor GA61 Celica XX? It already looks way beyond reasonable repairs:

It was supposed to be the flagship of the Celcia XX range... What happened? Did the owner think it got out of fashion? At least the 15 inch 6J Celica XX rims look salvageable...

How about this Silvia S13 in the foliage then?
