Remembering Japanese cars from the past
As far as I understood hukkapätkä means “a piece of waste” in the Finnish language. Perhaps Isokorpi Customs was thinking about that when they created this monstrous Carina, but I have to disagree on that!
They probably used a Carina TA60 as the base of this monster and put something more powerful in it.
Judging from the gigantic intercooler it is probably something turbo-ed: Continue reading
Just found another clip of the Carina TA63 drifter I features a few weeks back!
Probably from the same Drift Showdown video but this time it also mentions the event and location: Nikko best 20 finalist at (obviously) Nikko circuit.

A better shot of that lovely pair: Continue reading
Okay the owner/uploader’s name might be a bit confusing, but skyline2000gtexturbo is really enjoying his Carina GT Turbo very much. So much he posted a couple of videos to Youtube!
First of all, the introduction of the Carina:

So how does it drive then? Continue reading
