Remembering Japanese cars from the past
My first reaction to this photo was that I was doubting if it was a Lancer Turbo A175A featuring Carina single headlight units or a Carina featuring a Lancer front air dam…
It is a front air dam of the latter…
I must say it really does suit the Carina very well: Continue reading
The second video is a bit over exposed, but at least by listening to the sound of it you will loooove this 1G-GTE powered Carina!
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!
At least it is in New Zealand! According to the description of these two videos it is Mattys Carina AA60 that is having fun in the snow.
For me, as a European, I will have to wait a few more months before it will be as snow covered as in this video. Or even worse: with the Dutch weather it may quite unique with that amount of snow!
In the second video there is no oncoming traffic: Continue reading
The 18R-GEU engine was inherited from the two previous generations of Carinas (like the Über Rare Carina RA45), so naturally it found its way into the new A60 generation. But not for long: Toyota struck a deal with Yamaha for a couple of new engines including the 4A-GE (replacing the 2T-GEU) and the 3T-GTE (replacing the 18R-GEU) engines for their high performance models.
In october 1982 the 18R-GEU was replaced first by the 3T-GEU and the 2T-GEU was replaced in may 1983. In the end the Carina RA63 has only been sold for thirteen months in total…
This Carina RA63 only covered 125k kilometers, so that means at least an overhaul for this 18R-GEU engine: Continue reading
On the 23rd of August a couple of 4A-GE powered AE86s, a KE70 and a AA63 were attacking the track in Chitose, Hokkaido. Enjoy this 7 minutes of 4A-GE goodness!
The Carina AA63 is presumable the same as the one winning D1SL North two years ago.
