Carina E

[jeffrosie]

Gotta say, this car is amazing.

So fast and soo much torque, love the way it drives and is such a sleeper - takes everyone by surprise.

[jeffrosie]

Got my eyes on oil press, oil temp and new boost gauge - all matching and to be fitted in centre vent.

Alfa 2.0 twin spark - lol looked like it had no spark :)

Left in in my dust

JUST FOUND A VIDEO OF MY FRIENDS CARINA getting wracked in poleglass we *******

[jeffrosie]

lol crazy - looks like he's trying to kill that Carina.

[jeffrosie]

Gettin the windows tinted

Been running 0.8 bar boost for a while now and all is good.

Oil temp is around 75deg C - about same as water

Oil pressure is 6 bar when cold idle and hot max 5 bar, min hot is just over 1 bar.

Engine is nice and healthy :)

Exhaust sounds good on boost and cosworth dump valve is happy in the Carina.

Happy to help if anybody else wants to go this route with a 3SFE

May soon be up for sale.

Too many cars in household and costs are mounting :(

Have been reading with interest as I have similar plans/dreams for my own E GLi Estate. Not going public yet though as finances are currently short and other things need sorting such as my window washer system which has gone from only one jet not working to only one jet working

I'm considering purchasing eyebrows for my Carina E, but the internet seems very limited.

I'm wondering if there are different kinds of eyebrows for the car, or is only one available?

[Harichs Gaahl Kriegdeblitz]

I have a 2.0GLi estate, and I want to do something similiar to mine, except Turbo lol, I'm not quite that mechanically minded.

Did the Celica ARB's work with the Carina? I'm planning to lower mine, fit strut braces and some ARB's so make it feel less like a boat and more planted ;D!

Any help and advice on what parts can be transplanted would be appreciated!

Also, how does your Carina handle after your mods, have you taken it to a track by any chance?

Thanks brah!

[jeffrosie]

Long time since I been on here, just too much happening around me at the moment.

But need to sell the Carina.

Should be 180+bhp and loads of torque.

Tallphotography, easier to replace the washers - same as celicas

Casper138, dont know about eyebrows - look on eBay

Harichs Gaahl Kriegdeblitz, most things from Celica will fit Carina. Not had it on track, but an uncle I know has lots of open roads, where I let her loose a bit ages ago - within speed limits ;) . All I did for suspension is lowered by about 35mm Carina E specific springs and Celica gas shocks, not forgeting Celica brakes all around. Handleing I think is brilliant for so little done, slight over steer with minimum body roll and confident at speeds approching 3 figures. Did 137 on the GPS and still climbing. As for what parts can be transplanted, well most of mechenical as Carina is based on Celica floor pan.

Very nice project but we need to see lots of pictures of the finished car incl. paintwork, exhaust and engineroom.

Did you manage to fit gen. 7 Celica quick shift?

[TARManiAC]

pics. of interior also please:-)

About the steeringwheel. Is it just from a normal gen. 6 Celica or is it from a special model (ss)?

great job btw

[Tallphotography]

Got the washers sussed, rear one was clogged with half a boot full of gunk lol

[jeffrosie]

Been ages sine I been on here.

Had loads of fun times embarassing and shocking more expensive cars.

Just had an MOT and flew straight through with only advissory - rear pads!! easy fix :)

But time has also come for a new project, so the carina has to go :(

Will have to put up for sale soon.

[Harichs Gaahl Kriegdeblitz]

Just logged back in on here now. Thanks for the advice, but I've done and bought my own car now. Carina's off to the scrap heap soon :(
