This is my current wallpaper at work:

Twin drifting AA63 Carina 4 door sedan, AA63 Carina 2 door coupe and T142 Corona 2 door coupe. I wouldn’t call it twin anymore, but tripple drifting sounds so weird.

Not much of a blog item, but always nice to have this one around for myself. 😉

You can find the original size here:

Will the Carina be bling?

I just found this AA63 Carina for sale:
AA63 Carina with bling headlights

These are the same headlight surrounds as I got for mine, so I’d expect my car to become as bling as this one when I install them…

However I hoped it would look a bit more like this one:
AA63 Carina non bling headlights

Apparently the amount of bling headlights is limited in contrary of the ordinary whitelines (black with a white stripe). So, perhaps the black rattlecan will have to do it’s job properly… Anyone else got a better idea?

Google translations: finish your relationship!

I was viewing this awesome auction on Auctions Yahoo Japan and tried to find out what it all said…

Toyota AA63 Carina on auctions.yahoo.co.jp

Apparently the car has only driven 44184 km, that’s even less than mine!! It has power windows, central locking, aircon, etc… All the things my car lacks. Apart from that the car appears to be in awesome state.

Anyway, the google translation isn’t that good. If I wouldn’t know better I would definetly not buy the car (well, I wouldn’t be able to because I don’t have the funds to get the car here anyway):


The body itself is a rust, but most of the trunk is a little rust, has been floating. ????????????? In places, and also to be included. ??????????? Now check the car are very welcome.

Not particulary very comforting words. 😛


Repair calendar, but the car guy to look at me at probably no repair and that is, is known exactly, do not know, please.

So it is known exactly, however on the other hand not…

And the questions asked to the seller are even better!

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. 🙂

JDM AA63 Carina grille

Got the grille as well. So everything is complete now! 🙂

Only lost my bid on the TA63 gauge cluster, but I won’t need upcoming year anyway so maybe better luck next time. 😉

In total it cost me 14770 yen so far, so that is with handling and without shipping to holland. Just have to see and wait how much more the shipping will be.
