Carina Sightings: Carina GT-R AA63 in 1995 video

December 17, 2008 / banpei / 0 Comments

Last sunday I posted some Touge drifting videos from 1995. The same user also uploaded a official drift video called Tuned Drift which apparently featured each month, just like Video Option once started.

The video contains only 3 seconds footage of a Carina GT-R AA63, but since it is ancient footage I did want to post the video anyway.

As you can see, it contains mostly Nissan Silvia S13s and 180SX RPS13s, a few AE86s and incidentally a Nissan Skyline R31, FC3S, Nissan Cifero A31 and a beaten up Toyota Chaser GX81.

One of the Levin AE86s (at 25 seconds) almost 100% resembles Wataru’s Levin in Initial D. Remember that Shuichi Shigeno only started drawing Initial D in 1995, so consider this pre-Initial D.

I must say that the Sprinter Trueno AE86 at 45 seconds is very nicely done. Actually it would still be very nicely tuned nowadays so it is definitely far ahead of its time!

Carina Sightings: Revolver Drift’s AA63 Carina Coupe

December 3, 2008 / banpei / 0 Comments

About two months ago Revolver Drift posted some really nice pictures of his AA63 Carina Coupe near Bukit Tinggi. I asked his permission to post them on my blog as well but didn’t have the time to post it here: there was always another Carina Sighting and I kept moving it forward. So, finally the pictures are here:

Revolver Drift is from Malaysia and his AA63 Carina Coupe features a 4AGE 20v blacktop. The deep dish rims on his coupe fit very nice to the coupe body type. I don’t think it would look that well on a sedan. Also the mesh grille looks quite aggressive with the big headlights. If I only could get a mesh grille for mine…

Thanks to Revolver Drift for allowing me to post his pictures here! If you want to read more, his blog is located here:

Carina sightings: Carina GT-R AA63 in Peru

October 29, 2008 / banpei / 4 Comments

Some time ago I already blogged about a Carina GT-R in Peru. I probably now found the sales adverts for it:

http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.pe/MPE-4685639-vendo-toyota-carina-gtr-_JM

This is how the car looked:

It states that the Carina GT-R was located in Lima and that it only drove 9000 and 10000 kilometers. Looking at the engine, diff, interior and the state of the car I doubt that the last fact could be true. Should rather be 190000 and 200000 kilometers. ;)

As you can see the diff housing is leaking:

And the engine is quite used and dirty:

And the steering wheel looks shabby, so it is quite used

According to the translation of this advertisement it is supposed to be owned by the 80 year old grandpa of the seller. Yeah right… ;)

Anyway, they asked 3999 (I assume Peru Nuevos Soles) for it which is roughly 1000 euros. Not bad! I would have bought it for that price!!

2007 A60 Meeting in Asagiri

August 18, 2008 / banpei / 0 Comments

I came across this website some time ago with a lot of Toyota Carina A60 pictures of several meetings.

One of the last meetings on this page was an A60 meeting in Asagiri

It is amazing how many Toyota A60 cars can be together:

Too bad we will never have such huge meetings with A60 owners. Maybe some Toyota or Japanese Classic meeting can get this huge.

Google translations: finish your relationship!

I was viewing this awesome auction on Auctions Yahoo Japan and tried to find out what it all said…

Apparently the car has only driven 44184 km, that’s even less than mine!! It has power windows, central locking, aircon, etc… All the things my car lacks. Apart from that the car appears to be in awesome state.

Anyway, the google translation isn’t that good. If I wouldn’t know better I would definetly not buy the car (well, I wouldn’t be able to because I don’t have the funds to get the car here anyway):

The body itself is a rust, but most of the trunk is a little rust, has been floating. ????????????? In places, and also to be included. ??????????? Now check the car are very welcome.

Not particulary very comforting words. :P

Repair calendar, but the car guy to look at me at probably no repair and that is, is known exactly, do not know, please.
So it is known exactly, however on the other hand not…

And the questions asked to the seller are even better!
