Glad to see that this is being taken care of better than I ever could. Nice work man, I hope you're happy with it all. Did you get that air thing working? Did it work? Whatever it is/was.

Edit: How far away from Olsen Ave in Hillsborough are you? Weird co-incidence/not relevant to anything at all.

Double Edit: Looks like you could fit a JZ in there instead... ...just sayin'

Woah, thanks everybody!

Man, i'm super happy with it, don't think i've had a car with shits and giggles factor this high. Ah yes, the "CLEAN ACE®", it's an air purifier I think, not sure if i'd bother to get it working but I left it in there anyway 'cause it's weird/quirky

 

Olsen ave's just down hillsborough rd from me actually, about a minute or so

 

Yes, this is true, and I even have a 'jz but it's spoken for

I'm there man, there's about a 50/50 chance i'm at that mexicali any given night anyway, i've got a real burrito problem. Sounds good!

 

Soarers a z20 that's been off the road for about 84 years, but i'm workin on that problem

I would actually kill somebody for a z10 however

 

 

Yeah this thing is super cool, I was ogling it at the Toyota festival!

Good work, its also rad how many km's this thing has on it.

 

Ha, cheers, yep almost cracked half a mill now!

 

p.s. stop making your starlet so mint you're making the rest of us look bad

 

 

This thing is brilliant! What diff are you running currently? T-series?

 

Cheers! Yep it's t series irs, stock, extremely open 4.1 at the moment, that's the next big thing to replace, a shorter ratio would be good too.

 

Actually if anyone could tell me whether it's a big or small axle type that would be terrific

 

 

RAD! and the 4age looks just lovely  :-) 

Reminded me of this read: http://www.speedhunters.com/2015/03/jdm-underdog-the-four-door-ae86/

Also, what model Carina does your friend have? I own a ta41 sedan and I don't find many relevant examples of other Carinas outside of Eastern Europe or of course Japan 

 

Thanks! Sweet, ta41s must be getting really thin on the ground now, right? My friend is NicT, his car's on here, it's a ta63

 

 

I was looking at this and was like "ah sweet another carina"

 

Then I was like "duh, i know that car..."

 

Hurry up and finish yours, and I don't want to hear any more of these 'I have a newborn' excuses

Sweet man, glad you're loving it and the trip home was a breeze.

I lived on Olsen Ave in the late 90's/early 2000's for a bit hence the query. Back then I wouldn't have even blinked at it if I'd seen it if I'm honest. In fact, back then I recall a friend and I went for a fang in his flatmates AE86 that was a huge stripped out bag of dicks but he'd picked it up for $500 so gave zero fucks. Many a fangs to be had.

Anyway, that's not related. You've got this shit on lock-down, good work man.
