Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Thanks to GRED for the excellent tip on Team Zlay as the owner of this Mello Yello Carina GT-R AA63!
I’ve been browsing through their timeline and boy did I see some awesome pictures in there! I’ll post some excellent material on bosozokustyle.com later this week!
So enjoy this gallery with all pictures I could find of the Yello Mello:
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:

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
Two weeks ago I already treated you on a KA67v drifting on Suzuka circuit and this week I found an AA63 sedan doing a fast grip-style lap on a very famous circuit:
The video looks a bit wobbly but I guess that’s due to the anti-shock software in the camera.
See the video for a better impression: Continue reading
It is a terrible shame to leave such a nice Toyota Carina GT-R AA63 rusting away after a fence:
You can already see its factory boot spoiler is loosening it grip on the bootlid, so it is only a matter of time before it stats to grow some brownish rust around that spot.
On this second photo is even a worse discovery: Continue reading
A few days I go I already posted about winning the tail lights and the very same day I received a package from Japan (from a different AY source) containing a set of Soarer Z10 centercaps, Carina mudflaps, Carina brochure and this little yellow 1/64 scale Toyota Carina GT-R:
I got it for a bargain price and did not expect much from it until I read this posting last week and was very impressed by it.
I compared it against the Hotwheels Skyline KPGC110 GT-R I bought some last week and I was shocked by the difference in quality! See also this picture: Continue reading
