Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Ben R managed to find me a picture of the red Carina TA63 at the JCCA New Year Meeting 2012:
I love the 63 licenseplate!
It also enabled me to track down the owner: it is the Carina GT Turbo I posted before. Apart from driving around in the Carina TA63 he is also singing a lot in his videos. You can find “his blog here

What else could you add to a zenki Carina GT Turbo TA63 than a set of RS Watanabe rims? Well, they are only up front and unfortunately the rear features a set of the well known Toyota Snowflakes.

The photo of this Carina GT-TR in a field really looks like it could be right out of the original Carina A60 catalogue:

I love the big fender mirrors and I wish I would have a larger version of the photo and print it as a large poster!
BTW: anyone got an idea what rims are on this Carina? They look a bit like Hayashi Streets but they clearly aren’t…

I posted this Carina JZA63 half a year ago but still it intrigues me: it is such a monster and just imagine its potential!
