Initial D: Initial H (parody on intro)

July 23, 2008 / / 0 Comments

While browsing through the Initial D GBA movies I posted last week I also found Initial H!

It’s a parody on the Initial D intros done in something similar than MS Paint. IMO it’s drawn and animated very well! Even though it doesn’t look like it: it must have been a lot of work!!

The First Stage (original) unfortunately has disappeared. Probably the Youtube content match algorithm slashed that video out.

Third stage:

Fourth stage:

And Takumi (AE86) versus Bunta (22B) in Fourth Stage:

Respect!

Carina tuning: 1JZ-GTE twin turbo

Found this Carina with a 1JZ-GTE engine (JDM Supra MkIII/Soarer MkII) in it:

From what I can see on the grille this is a ST model, so it either featured a 1S or 3A originally.

Too bad there is not more footage of this engine swap. Would have been very interesting in what they actually had to change for this!

Carina sightings: Austrian Carina GL on Flickr

I found this Carina GL TA60 on Flickr and I suspect it is from Austria. I really like the coloring by the photographer and I think it is called Fuji Colorshift (it is in an album called like that).
Nice colored Austrian Carina GL

Apparently the GL had a better trim than the DX: it features a backseat with raised headrests instead of the flat backseat my DX has…
Carina GL with more expensive back seat

Perhaps I should look for a GL backseat in Austria then! :)

Carina sightings: tuned Carina Surf (van) with 20v 4AGE blacktop

July 23, 2008 / / 1 Comment

I came across this very nice tuned and lowered Carina Surf:

I must say it is not overdone and these rims fit the car very well!

The Surf is the public version of he Carina Van and came standard with a 1S 1800cc engine and had a solid rear axle (like my TA60). Basically it is the same as the Van, but it is more luxurious.

This car has been tuned with a 20v 4AGE blacktop:

But it still got the originial gauge cluster. Why isn’t there a aftermarket revmeter? Perhaps the owner doesn’t stress the car??

The car has also a bed in it. Must be really comfortable for all those meetings the owner is attending. ;)
Even a bed in the Carina Surf

And it is not the only nicely tuned Carina Surf/Van around:

Next to it you can see the famous very lowered Carina Firevan!

Also a strange thing: I can’t find the owner of the Carina Firevan. I can only find it in pictures of other people attending meetings. Did anyone else find the owner yet?
