Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Can you still make improvements to the Tomica Limited 1/64 scale Carina GT-R? Yes you can:
It is a modded version of the diecast: some tightly fitting mesh wheels and a huge front airdam have been added. Never thought someone would come up with that!
In the overview video of the Old Car New Year 2012 Awaji Island meeting (near Kobe) I found a pair of Carinas in the background: Continue reading
This stop motion video is very cleverly done: not only does it feature the Abunai Deka Nissan Leopard F31, but also the necessary bad guys in a Toyota Corona 2000GT!
Just couldn’t find any words to describe the beauty of the Corona GT RT104 in this photo, so no comments would just do fine. ;)

At first I thought there was a Corolla KE70 hiding under that ill fitted front and backend, but after close inspection on encountering the very same car at the airport I concluded that it had to be a Corona T120.

Can anyone guess what car was used as the donor of the frontend? :P
On the day of arrival I took a small stroll around the hotel area and encountered these two 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. ;)
Safety first with the Toyota Corona T100 series. I think car safety has come a long way since this commercial was made!
Just look how that whole Corona crumples up with an impact speed of only 25 km/h!
