Not only the Carina TA17 is entirely in kyusha style, its owner as well:
Kyusha style Carina TA17 in the 90s
Don’t be fooled by the 8 in the date: that most probably stands for the 8th year of the Heisei period.

I already posted about the Corona/Carina/Carina trio competing in the MSC tandem drift almost a year ago. A few weeks back Killian O’Brien posted this promo video of the 2007 MSC DVD on the Banpei.net page featuring them as well:
If you watch closely you can see them drift by a couple of times! :)
How much bigger is a Lexus GS300 than a Carina TA60?
Just about this much bigger:
Toyota Carina TA60 and Lexus GS300 JZS147
That is indeed my Carina. On one of the rare occasions when I went to work by car (I live at 5 minutes walking distance from work) and returned to my car I found one of my colleagues parked his Lexus GS300 JZS147 next to my Carina. I just had to take a quick snap!
Found this videos full of old JDM taxis on Youtube. Of course it is full with Toyota Chaser taxis, Toyota Crown taxis, Nissan Laurel taxis but mostly with the Toyota Carina/Toyota Corona taxi.

I found this kyusha kai styled Carina GT-TR on a spring meeting of a few other Carinas on Carview. I think this is definitely the coolest Carina I saw so far:
Kyusha Kai Carina GT-TR TA63
Lowered, black fender extenders, gunmetal grey RS Watanabe rims, rollcage, bride seat, etc. etc…
Now that Carina alone would have been a great post by itself, but then I spotted this picture of a Carina A60 sticker:
I want this Carina A60 sticker!
The coolest thing ever!! Now let’s see if I can lay my hands upon one! :)
This week not a drifting Carina, not a JDM model, nor an A60 series Carina but rather an older model: a TA40 Carina. Why? Well, just because I kind of liked it:
Toyota Carina TA40 DL
This bumperless chicken fenced Carina looked kind of awesome to me. It reminded me of the old school tuning from some ten years ago where everybody was just doing DIY tuning.
The rims are a very nice finishing touch. :)

Also the towhook is a nice touch. If you remove the bumper, just keep the towhook to avoid parking damage. ;)

The interior looks great: just as it came from the factory back in 1979.

And this is the biggest surprise: the DL (or rather DLX) should actually have a 2T engine and not the double carbed 2TB like the ST used to have. I think the previous owner thought the same as I did: cheap 10hp power increase! ;)
