JDM

Found these 15 inch Carina GT-R rims (also featured on the Celica Supra and Soarer) on auctions.yahoo.co.jp which look exactly like mine:

These rims are 15 inch, ET +20 so they are actually exactly the same as mine! I took the gamble that the 15 inch Celica Supra rims would be the same size/offset as the Carina and apparently I guessed right!

They cost about 37000 yen (300 euros) so I think the price of these rims are spot on!

I came across this website some time ago with a lot of Toyota Carina A60 pictures of several meetings.

One of the last meetings on this page was an A60 meeting in Asagiri

It is amazing how many Toyota A60 cars can be together:

Too bad we will never have such huge meetings with A60 owners. Maybe some Toyota or Japanese Classic meeting can get this huge.

Just added the first version of the Carina A6 specs to the site. It contains info about the JDM Carinas of June 1982.

I have two more brochures, so there is still some work left to do.

You can find the page in the right menu, or right here:

Jalopnik nominated the AE86 as Project Car Hell musclecar of the 80s and it is nominated against the Mitsubishi Starion.

Jalopnik:

The AE86 is a pretty cool car, of course, but these days it's akin to what the '69 Camaro was to my generation: just about the only old car that every high-school kid can identify.

You can find (and vote) here:
PCH, 80s Japanese Muscle Edition: AE86 or Starion?

I wished they would have taken my old AE86 as example of how the AE86 looks:

Just got these two parts through auctions.yahoo.co.jp:

They are already paid for and will be picked up hopefully this week. Then I have to wait for the grille auction to end as well (somewhere tomorrow) and hopefully everything can be shipped after that. :)
