Carina Sightings: Gymkhana Carina TA63

January 26, 2011 / banpei / 1 Comment

I’ve seen a lot of (ab)uses for the Carina so far, but I’ve never saw one attending in a real Gymkhana before. That was till I spotted this Gymkhana Carina TA63 on Minkara:

As you can see: the owner has humor. :D

You can see some more action in one of his videos:

He’s quite good at it! And the video even featured a few “bloopers” in the end! :)

Also a notable thing are his smoked tail lights (zenki). Really suits the car and maybe I’ll try to create my own when I can get my hands on a second set…

Carina Sightings: Carina in a field

January 19, 2011 / banpei / 2 Comments

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…

Video: old school drifting in Funabashi (Chiba)

January 13, 2011 / banpei / 3 Comments

TwinTurboRS posted his 100th video and it is a very very very long street drift video (47 minutes!) from a long long long time ago on Youtube in the Funabashi near the pear area (Chiba prefecture) featuring many AE86s, RX7 FCs, Skyline R30s and even a Carina TA63 @8:45:

Unfortunately embedding is disabled, so you will have to click on the picture to watch the video!

Even in the intro you can even see a 8 spoke RS Watanabe in a pile of discarded wheels! Madness! Enjoy 47 minutes of madness!

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

Carina Sightings: GT-TR at Garage Goods

September 29, 2010 / banpei / 0 Comments

I like to drool over some JDM Carinas from time to time, so when I got that urge I browse the available Carina A60s on Goo-Net. This week I found this excellent Carina GT-TR example for sale at Garage Goods:

Carina GT-TR at Garage Goods
I love that bosozoku like chin-spoiler: almost cutting up the road like a razorblade!

From the rear the car looks just as great and do notice all the available cars in the background:

Carina GT-TR at Garage Goods
Several Soarers, a Levin, a Trueno Black Limited, Skylines, Silvias, Glorias. Too many cool cars to count!

The interior of the TA63 has been modified with some gauges:

Personally I don’t like gauges and apart from the tach I think they are a bit out of place here…

Last but not least:

Carina GT-TR at Garage Goods
A set of deep dish SSR Mk IIs!

For a mere 650,000 yen (almost 8,000 US dollars) it can be yours.

Carina Sightings: Super deformed Carina TA63 drawing

September 22, 2010 / banpei / 0 Comments

On Minkara I spotted this amazing drawing of a Toyota Carina TA63:

Super deformed Carina TA63 coupe
It was drawn at the second Historic Car Jam, held in the Central Park in Tenmonkan (Kagoshima) and is a drawing given to Rough Garage. (Where did I see that name and logo in slightly different shape before… )

And this is the original:

Too bad Rough Garage doesn’t own a sedan, otherwise it would have been a perfect copy of mine as well. :P
Perhaps I should start drawing Carinas like this as well. ;)
