Carina TA60!
Hey people! My name is Thomas, 17 year old guy from Norway!
Picked up my first car some days ago, and because I have a passion for Old Japanese cars, and Japanese FR cars generally, it had to be one. Soo, the car is a 82' Toyota Carina TA60. I havent found any rust at all on her yet, but i havent checked behind the backseats yet either..(common place for carinas to rust). 122k km's on it. 2 owners, I'm the third. I dont have any crazy plans for it, I just wanna drop it to the ground and find some nice low offset wheels for it. Anyways, here's some pics! ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Carina TA60!]](http://img690.imageshack.us/i/quarterfront.jpg/ "AEU86 AE86 - Carina TA60!") ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Carina TA60!]](http://img821.imageshack.us/i/carinasideview.jpg/ "AEU86 AE86 - Carina TA60!") ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Carina TA60!]](http://img709.imageshack.us/i/carinarear.jpg/ "AEU86 AE86 - Carina TA60!") ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Carina TA60!]](http://img72.imageshack.us/i/carinar.jpg/ "AEU86 AE86 - Carina TA60!") The notorious 2T... it runs perfectly at least! ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Carina TA60!]](http://img293.imageshack.us/i/engine.jpg/ "AEU86 AE86 - Carina TA60!") Remember, this is Kilometers, not miles! ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Carina TA60!]](http://img697.imageshack.us/i/instrumentsg.jpg/ "AEU86 AE86 - Carina TA60!")

Carina TA60!
Banpei, if you read this..
Got any tips for what springs i could use from a heavier car on this one? i was thinking of cutting a few coils to get a stiffer spring rate.. also,is it much of an hassle to make it a 2T-G ? just bolt on? |

2T-G is bolt on and fiddle with some cables (throttle probably)
 nice car!!! "It's all about the heart, the people who focus on parts, turbo's and all that stuff...they're just losers." -Shinji Minowa |

Nice!
 Judging from the pics that car could be the twin-sister of my Carina!  But yours is more luxurious: you have headlight washers!  Seeing you have a manual box the 2T-G is bolt-on and 4AGE is "easy" if you change the bellhousing to a 4A model. I still have OEM springs on mine so I wouldn't be sure what springs would be best... My best guess is that the AE86 rear springs will fit: the axle is almost same and Toyota liked to reuse parts a lot.  The front has the same struts as the KE70/TE71 so most probably the AE86 front springs will fit as well. But if you want to be sure: the TA60 Celica should have the same rear axle and front struts... (They are different for some other Celicas) 1983 - AE86 Sprinter Trueno - import project 2013 - Honda Civic sport - daily driver 2004 - AEU86 dot ORG - daily domain Support our forum, buy from the AEU86 shop: ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Carina TA60!]](https://www.aeu86.org/sticker-banner-468.gif "AEU86 AE86 - Carina TA60!")
