Family Album Treasures: Kyusha style in the 90s!

Your rating: None Average: 5 (1 vote)

Not only the Carina TA17 is entirely in kyusha style, its owner as well:
Kyusha style Carina TA17 in the 90s
Kyusha style Carina TA17 in the 90s

Don't be fooled by the 8 in the date: that most probably stands for the 8th year of the Heisei period.

Found at [Pikawo]


Carina week: Carinas (and a Corona) at MSC

No votes yet

I already posted about the Corona/Carina/Carina trio competing in the MSC tandem drift almost a year ago. A few weeks back Killian O'Brien posted this promo video of the 2007 MSC DVD on the Banpei.net page featuring them as well:

If you watch closely you can see them drift by a couple of times! :)


DOTS: Carina vs GS300

No votes yet

How much bigger is a Lexus GS300 than a Carina TA60?
Just about this much bigger:
Toyota Carina TA60 and Lexus GS300 JZS147
Toyota Carina TA60 and Lexus GS300 JZS147

That is indeed my Carina. On one of the rare occasions when I went to work by car (I live at 5 minutes walking distance from work) and returned to my car I found one of my colleagues parked his Lexus GS300 JZS147 next to my Carina. I just had to take a quick snap!

Found this videos full of old JDM taxis on Youtube. Of course it is full with Chasers, Crowns, Laurels but mostly with the Corona/Carina taxi.

Carina Sightings: Kyusha Kai Carina GT-TR

Your rating: None Average: 5 (3 votes)

I found this kyusha kai styled Carina GT-TR on a spring meeting of a few other Carinas on Carview. I think this is definitely the coolest Carina I saw so far:
Kyusha Kai Carina GT-TR TA63
Kyusha Kai Carina GT-TR TA63

Lowered, black fender extenders, gunmetal grey RS Watanabe rims, rollcage, bride seat, etc. etc...

Now that Carina alone would have been a great post by itself, but then I spotted this picture of a Carina A60 sticker:
I want this Carina sticker!
I want this Carina A60 sticker!

The coolest thing ever!! Now let's see if I can lay my hands upon one! :)
