Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Posing in front of your beloved Carina ST A40 with a huge glass bottle (presumably sake) made someone decide to draw whiskers on the owners face to mimic a cat:
Or maybe it is a Japanese habit to make someone unrecognizable on the web. ;)
Anyway this picture is certainly something to keep in your family album for future generations!
Found at Minkara
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 has been almost four years since I found a video of a RHD to LHD converted AA63 in Peru and it looks like it exchanged owners again:
This Carina also has been converted, looks identical (except for the wheels) and its (new) owner seems to be very happy with it! ;)
Here is another short video: Continue reading
A few weeks back I found a video of a Carina TA62 on Youtube where it stated that it had received a 1G-E swap so I got interested in the project, especially as it is an Hungarian project.
So I commented on the video and received an email from the owner with links to these photos.
For the record this is the video and it is a bit hard to see: Continue reading
Unfortunately nobody sent in any comment with the location and trackname of the circuit. The offer still stands and you can send in your guesses till next week!
This week I have another Carina at a track. This time it is a familiar one and it is great to see this same red Carina AA63 compete in the NCML again!
In this video you can see it busy keeping off a bunch of Levin AE86s, a S14a and a S15: Continue reading
Two weeks ago I already treated you on a KA67v drifting on Suzuka circuit and this week I found an AA63 sedan doing a fast grip-style lap on a very famous circuit:
The video looks a bit wobbly but I guess that’s due to the anti-shock software in the camera.
See the video for a better impression: Continue reading
