Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Okay this Toyota Corolla Levin AE86 isn’t entirely new and it surely is not for sale on Ebay (actually on Goo-net), but it only drove 36k kilometers so far! If that’s not an Ebay-treasure, I’ll eat my shoe!
This Levin was definitely cherished by its first owner and later on restored in full glory by it seller Carland86. Carland86 is famous for their immense inventory of AE86-es that all are in excellent condition!
Just look at the enginebay: Continue reading
This Corolla KE70 sedan appears to be bone stock…
Almost bone stock Corolla KE70
…but if you look closer you can see some small modifications done to it:
– passenger side windshield wiper removed
– mismatching chrome mirrors
– bootlid spoiler
BTW: the weird windshield foil is quite common around Jayapura
On our way to the magnificent view over Jayapura on the highest mountain in the neighborhood I spotted this Corolla Levin AE92:

Not the supercharged GT-Z model, but at least it has a 4AGE heart beating under that bonnet.
The huge 16 inch wheels with a thin tirewall look a bit out of place here: the road conditions around Jayapura are quite bad so I reckon they won’t survive long…
On the day of arrival I took a small stroll around the hotel area and encountered these two touge monsters!
Toyota Corona T120 and Corolla KE35 touge monsters
On the left a Corona T120 sedan with … rims and on the right a two door Corolla KE35 on RS Waranabe rims with a bit more wild modifications than the Corona.
I had the pleasure of seeing the Corolla pass by for work on another morning stroll and its raspy exhaust noise was as enjoyable as the looks of it.

On the last day I made another morning stroll but did not meet the owner so I just put a Bosozoku Style sticker under the windshield wipers of both cars. ;)
Near where I spotted the Longchamped Familia I also saw a Corolla KE70 coming the opposite way. I turned around, followed it for a while hoping it would stop. But I gave up after a couple of kilometers and stopped for a drink. Luck turned and another immaculate Corolla KE70 came my way:

Since I has stopped I had all the time of the world to take a couple of snapshots of the KE70! :)

No idea what wheels it is on, but they surely match the oldskool rolla!
This time rusty J-tin from the old world: a Dutch Toyota Corolla KE20 crumbling away next to a B-road. The Corolla appears to be in a reasonable state, but since it has been parked there for years now I fear the worst. Unless someone pays a ridiculous amount of money the owners will leave it there till it has merged together with the soil…

I passed this rusty rolla many many times but never actually stopped to take a picture of it. The picture was taken by Dutch Toyota Club board-member Marco when he passed it. Since he already took the picture it saves me the trouble of taking my own. ;)
