I found a couple of meeting pictures of the so called Showa Meeting Vol 1 (2010) which, obviously, is a meeting focussed on all automotive cars from the Showa era. Since the emperor died in 1989 the range of cars is obviously very wide, including a couple of early 80s Carinas!

This white AA63 Carina GT-R has a mismatched front grille. The grille was taken from a late type car and the Road Runner II badge was taken from a lower spec Carina. Apart from that it looks awesome sitting that low on those wats!
This Carina GT-R looked a bit less awesome:

But nevertheless I would certainly love to have it parked with those Longchamps in front of my house! ;)
This was the group shot of the Showa Meeting crew, and guess what they chose as background vehicles?

A bunch of Carinas! \o/
Too bad I couldn’t find a picture of the yellow Carina… It looks bad ass with all its camber and rollcage! And it is the only vehicle in the lineup that is lower than that lowered Bug! :D
Front lip looks to be from MR2 (AW11)
Could very well be. AW11 is 1666mm wide and the Carina 1650mm wide and that is nearer than the AE86. I’ll see if I can source one and see if it fits!
