Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Earlier this week I spotted a set of original Toyota Carina wind deflectors for sale in an auction:
They are interesting for me as these deflectors change the airflow around the windows and if you open your windows only an inch the air will be sucked from your car instead of having a big turbulence creating a racket of noise.
The deflectors weren’t entirely new and one of the rear deflectors even had a part missing: Continue reading
Disclaimer: I’m not selling this! I posted this because it MAY interest someone as it is a super rare object. Don’t ask me any questions regarding the object as I do not own it!
If anyone has 40000 yen spare (roughly about 300 euro) you can buy an original Black Limited gauge cluster for your AE86:
Four hundred Black Limited cars were made and one of the distinguishing items on the car was an orange gauge cluster. So if you are building your own Black Limited copy you can make it a bit more genuine by buying this cluster. A whole lot better than making your own using an orange marker on your original cluster… ;)
On a sidenote: I missed this one in the AE86 Trivia about the various gauge clusters, so I’ll add this one later on.
You can find the auction here:
Black Limited AE86 gauge cluster for sale at Auctions Yahoo.
If you need any help buying and importing this cluster to your country, you can use companies like Hayatonka to get them for you. Be aware that the total price can be a bit more than the 300 euros price of the auction. :P
Today my RSS feed reader provided me two new lots on Auctions Yahoo and in this case it were two kouki (late type) tail lights for the Carina sedan sold for left and right seperately:
The red line under the tail light was only available on the GT, GT-R, GT-T and GT-TR Carina models.
The auctions start at 5800 yen (roughly 58 euros or 74 US dollar) which a fair price for these tail lights in an (almost) immaculate condition! It is easy to get these items through man-in-the-middle companies like Hayatonka.
(do take into account local transportation costs, handling fees and shipping to your doorstep may increase the price dramatically!)
The auctions can be found here:

It is a very rare occasion to see Carina KA67 van headlights for sale at Auctions Yahoo, or even including a matching Corona YT140 taxi grille.
These headlights are the normal type headlights, so no HID replacement like the last one.
Is there any difference between the YT140 grille and the KA67 grille? Continue reading
Spotted this auction of a full set of Carina van TA67 round headlights yesterday on Auctions Yahoo:
Not only does it include the round headlights and its surroundings, but it also includes the grille. The headlights have been converted with clear lenses and are able to carry H4 (type 4) bulbs or an HID replacement! Ideal to transfer your Carina van (or normal Carina) into a Firevan replica!
This is how it looks on the seller’s Carina: Continue reading
Finally I’ve been able to win a pair of them: the kouki Carina sedan tail lights seem to be made of unobtainium these days! Big thanks to Ewan from Hayatonka!
And as an added bonus: even more kouki headlight surroundings, grille, city lights and indicator lights!
Too bad the package won’t make it before Christmas. :'(
