Remember the piece of waste by Isokorpi Customs?
It is no longer a piece of waste: Isokorpi Customs managed to shoehorn a 1JZ-GTE in the enginebay: Continue reading

I was amazed by the looks of Bafo’s Carina TA60:
It has been lowered a bit and features what looks like Hayashi Street Target Mag wheels.
You can see more in the video: Continue reading
RWD car? Check!
Brake pedal pressed? Check!
Revving to 5600 rpm? Check!
Release clutch in first gear? Check!
That’s about the checklist of these Norwegian guys with their Carina TA60. Continue reading
Two weeks ago I finally started to do something about the enormous pileup of JDM parts in the shed, so I mounted the JDM tail lights, Carina mudguards and Soarer centercaps!
Then I took off to properly wash the car and do a small photoshoot in the neighborhood:
Even though all lightbulbs inside the tail lights survived travelling half the world on a ship there was one problem with these new tail lights: they lack both the illumination and fog lights. That means that they don’t light up when I turn on the lights of the Carina.
Lucky enough I can directly mount in the insides of the EU tail lights which I still haven’t done so far. For the photoshoot I faked the illumination by putting my camera bag on the brake pedal. ;) Continue reading
After missing out a couple of auctions on Carina AA60 tail lights, I decided I really had to get them the next time and contacted Ewan from Hayatonka. He understood the pain and difficulties, and did his best for me. After nearing the scary deadline the price rose quickly, but we managed to win the auction after all!
After being on a boat for four weeks the tail lights finally have arrived at my doorstep:
A pair of zenki Carina AA60 tail lights, mid console and some other small stuff included in the auction. The lights basically look like they are brand new, so that was a very luck win!
The difference between the Carina AA60 and AA63 tail lights is that the AA63 ones are smoked. This means the AA63 ones look a bit blackish, while the AA60 are just normal ones. I can live without that I guess. ;)
Here you can compare how different they look from the zenki ones:
Continue readingAs far as I understood hukkapätkä means “a piece of waste” in the Finnish language. Perhaps Isokorpi Customs was thinking about that when they created this monstrous Carina, but I have to disagree on that!
They probably used a Carina TA60 as the base of this monster and put something more powerful in it.
Judging from the gigantic intercooler it is probably something turbo-ed: Continue reading
