Most of the time I when I try finding other Carinas I spend a lot of time on Google Images. This week it proved once again to not be a very good too in finding Carinas: the Finnish site Minunauto (Finnish Cardomain/Minkara) is badly indexed by Google and once I did a search on the site it proved that Finland must be next to Japan the country with the most active Carina drivers/owners! I found at least 25 new Carinas!!
This one was one of the most striking Carinas: a DX coupe AA60, powered by a 4AFE!

Most people would go for the 4AGE road, but somehow the owner of this Carina didn’t do so, Perhaps it is because the early generation of the 4AFE is carbureted and easier to swap…
In contrary of the kouki JDM GT models this car features the wheels from a limited edition 280ZX during wintertime. They may look the same in the basic design, but they are different. Also note that in the picture above the rims are a bit more exotic than these. ;)

Nevertheless they look really nice in combination with the bodykit! I really wonder what kit that actually is from…

OMP steering wheel and custom tach make the interior look like a serious racing machine…
And here is the 4AFE:

Note that the distributor has been relocated (transverse 4A engines have them located at the back) and the exhaust manifold is a custom job.

This is how good a EUDM Coupe can look! ^_^
