Remembering Japanese cars from the past
We’ve all seen them and loved them: the Nissan Sileighty. Basically a Nissan 180SX with a Silvia S13 nosejob and the end result is a very beautiful blend of a GT hatchback sportscar.
Now what would you do if you do have a Silvia frontend but don’t have a 180SX? Take a Celica XX and swap the Silvia’s nose on it!
WTF?! Toyota Silica?!
I don’t have a better picture of it, but nevertheless it’s looks are stunning!
So, Celica XX MA46 + Silvia S13 = Silica?
This very first drift video of the MotorFIX Corolla 1UZE70 just got posted on Youtube. Apparently it had its maiden trackday Yesterday afternoon at the YZ Circuit.
In the first few minutes they take it gently, but after two minutes the Corolla gets really tail happy with its new engine. Unfortunately it starts to rain and you can see it gets more difficult to control the car but after a couple of laps the driver regains control.
Also notice the white Carina AA63 (with fender mirrors) trying to keep up. It is doing a good job IMO. :D
When I think of a high performance Skyline R30 I alway picture either the louvre grille DR30 or the tekkamen (Iron Mask) DR30, but not this thoroughbred 2000GT Turbo:

Thoroughbred in Skyline terms means it is at least having a L20 engine under its hood:
Thoroughbred Skyline 2000GT Turbo
And normally a thoroughbred L20ET should have a bit more oomph than its predecessor but in this case Nissan kept the entire L20ET the same as in the C211. Perhaps they thought it meant that the shell was thoroughbred and its engine were the strong genes remaining from its predecessor?
Now what would have happened to this poor Soarer Z10? Could it be that these three guys actually did the Street Fighter II Car Bonus in real life? Or could it be that they wrecked their Soarer and just pretended…

We’ll never know, but I’m sure it would be a great addition to their family album. :)
Found at [Natsuo six-wheel life]
What would look better than a pink shakotan Carina AA63? A red shakotan Carina AA63!
Red shakotan Carina AA63
This one is even lower than the pink one and it features clear headlights, fender flares and deeeeeep dished rims!
On the rear we find even wider fender flares and a tsurikawa:

Unfortunately I only found these two pictures, so I can’t exactly determine the rims used on this Carina. They do feature the eight spoke RS Watanabe R-type design, but I can’t tell for sure…
Found at [MINI ? ? pleasant friends and we …]
Watch John McEnroe lure some ladies into his Toyota Corolla II (also known as the Tercel outside Japan)!
Amazing! He did not even need to use a swearword to get them in!
