Imagine getting a tip to collect two unused 80s Nissan Skylines and when arriving at the spot you find this to be parked between the bushes:

Nissan Skyline R30 drag racer rustoseum
An 90s drag race monster based upon a Skyline DR30!

The hood is a lightweight FRP bonnet by Rebic, headlights have been replaced for dummy items and the front wheels are a set of lightweight Wats.

Almost a year ago I posted the 1984 USDM Corolla GT-S AE86 commercial where it is being displayed as the reborn Corolla. Reich976 posted this time another 1985 USDM Corolla GT-S AE86 commercial, but this time the zenki GT-S takes on unexpectedly some dragracers!

What's he got in there?
A new 16 valve engine, known as the TC16
Never heard of the TC16, but I think the 4AGE only was known as the TC16 in the Toyota marketing department. ;)

I'm not a big fan of drag racing but I can really appreciate drag racing beauties like the Laurel and Bluebirds in this video:

Apart from the 16 inch RS Watanabes this Laurel C230 doesn't look too unusual. However when it does its run within 12.299 seconds that may be called quite respectable! The Bluebird 610 manages to do a 13.201! Not bad for 30 to 35 year old J-tin!

I found this recent video of a dragrace on 24th of august 2008 with a final between a Volkswagen Polo (called Gol here) and a Toyota Carina AA63 in Peru.

17 seconds Final Round August 24 2008 CADEPOR
Spoiler: unfortunately the Carina AA63 does not win this race (0.6 seconds) but I think it is very nice to see that the AA63 actually made it to other countries than Japan!

As you can see in the picture below it is a LHD car, so it is not imported from Japan:

The side of the car has the "Twincam 16" writings on it, it has 15 inch Celica Supra rims and the rear lights look kouki to me. In other words: this a genuine left hand drive AA63 outside Japan. :)
