The A6 Celica/Carina topic

It actually looks more period-correct!
The EE90 bumper should fit better on paper as the width is the same (2cm wider than the e80), but judging from your photos it also fits nicely. Did you have to chop anything on the bumper near the fenders?

Yea i think the design on the EE90 bumper is too round for the body of TA60 carina. Nothing got chopped on the bumper but the lower mounts on headlights come in the way so i have to cut a little piece out of the bumper to get it sitting a few centimeters higher. Bumper could be wider but im happy for how it sits for now Thinking about cutting rear end so it sits level with bottom of the trunk (kinda race car look) and fitting original bumper there or something similiar (from E30 etc.) Its fun to experiment Next weekend going to have to replace the side exhaust made for "winter season" because its getting a little bit loud (here's a little clip from the first snow testing out new winter tyres, so nothing special here http://tinyurl.com/CarinaWinter ) and my dog doesn't like it much
   
Edit: New exhaust 2,5 inch pipe straight from the manifold. Sounds just right and not too loud much improvement from the sidepipe and i kinda like how "rude" it looks haha

[banpei]

Haha! Please share how it sounds with the 2.5 inch pipe!

Here you go. Don't mind the rust http://tinyurl.com/Carina2-5

Nice sound!
And I didn't really see the rust. The icicle was drawing more attention from me: I was wondering if it was going to fall off.

Yokohama Neo Advan AD08Rs fitted... Trackday on Monday!
Cant wait to finally have some non melty tires.
T1Rs start getting slippery on 2nd lap.

Improved my PB by 2.3 seconds, awesome!

Went to another trackday at another track, improved best time by 1.9 seconds.

Next time I'll have R888s fitted and quicker again!

Couldnt quiiiiitttteeee keep up with the EVO though.

I went for a passenger ride in this car later in the day, it makes some really good power.

Well he was visible for 2 minutes, so you managed quite well IMO. And I did not see anyone else pass.

That was exciting
