Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Honza (aka Gred) sent me a link earlier this week with a link to a perfect Carina TA62 coupe. Apparently it is for sale for a mere 38000 Czech Koruna (1900 US dollars) which is next to nothing for a nice example like this one!
One of the first things that I noticed is that looks like it had a recent respray that is following the OEM JDM Carina panda paint scheme.

As you can see the 1G is a tight fit.
The 1G-GTE produced at maximum a mere 210hp, but the 275 Nm makes it all worth! Continue reading
I was blown away when I watched this clip: this Finnish Carina TA60 with 4A-GE turbo swap has so much power left to spare during its long corner drifts! It is almost child’s play to put it sideways!
