Toyota Carina Gt (A63 Series)

[iRage]

Since someone asked for pictures of a Carina GT with a 4A-GE engine..here goes:

The Carina GT came as a 1600GT (TA63) and 2000GT (RA63). Initially the 1600GT cane with a 2T-GE engine which was later replaced with a 4A-GE and the 2000cc version dropped along with the introduction of a GT-R.

Always had a hidden desire to own one...looking at Komi's project I am almost tempted to get base 60-series Carina and build one up or just resort to the following

Build build build!!

Machan you will not regret it. You can get the base car parts and labour for under 1.5 mil I'm sure. Over time. That will be uniquely yours and just think of that beast with an FMIC and those flared fenders lumbering in your garage. Ooh!!

iRage, great stuff! I was interested in that diecast Carina as well. Here's a Carina wagon-

This is commonly known as the 'Firevan' and is truely a fire-breather. It's got a Yamaha beams engine inside with the six speed manual.....

We've got a few examples here, so why not consider a wagon build up?

tempted to....will be back in japan in a few months and was planning to talk to a guy who works at the local Fujitsubo shop to dive in to the technical nitty gritties in converting a AA60 to a TA63.

The A60 frame is common to the Carina and the Celica of that era so has a lot of potential.

Thanks iRage. I'm not on FaceBook so I get a "login required" page.

Do you know what the plates are on this? I'm guessing it would be a 16sri or 17-18
