Remembering Japanese cars from the past
People knowing me well enough also know I love kaido racers/zokushas and all sorts of other bizarre creation from Japan. So I actually was quite happy to see this in one of the kaido racer videos:
Yes, that is indeed a yellow Carina AA63 with (fake?) oil cooiler up front and lowered on a set of SSR Mk II rims (or are those Techno Shadows? Can’t see it too clearly!). :)
It even gives a good welcome when arriving at the spot by doing a bit of revving: Continue reading
I did post up a couple of 1990s Hakone drift videos in the past, but these three must be the oldest so far!
They are dated May/June in 1990 and they feature several cars from that era including TE71s, KP62s, AE86s, B310s and an occasional S13: Continue reading
A couple of days ago I received an email from John Coakley with the subject “My two Carina GT-Rs!” and a link to a topic on ae86irl.com. Of course I immediately opened the link and found these two beautiful Carinas!
So what’s better than owning one GT-R? Owning two GT-Rs!
So let’s kick off with the white one on the left: Continue reading
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:
left Carina GT-R AA63 tail light
right Carina GT-R AA63 tail light
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
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
