For sale: Red Bull Carina 2000GT coupe
Sometimes I wonder how people can part from their pride and joy after they put so much effort in it. This 1979 Carina RA45 kaido racer with Red Bull liverage is no exception to that:
If you thought you may have seen it before: you did!
It has the rare five speed manual (four was still common back then!) Even the engine is in shipshape condition: only 16400 kilometers after it had been rebuilt!
Just look at the work put in those blister fenders: (more…)

It is always nice to see a couple of kaido racers being utilized in something different than donuts and revving at meetings: Zeppann13J posted videos of a few kaido racers doing fast runs at the Sendai Highland drag-strip!
First of all a Yanky Mate! Fairlady Z against a Yonmeri Skyline:

Probably the best proven kaido racer combo: Cresta GX71 with a set of deep dished SSR Mk I rims!

Just spotted this Skyline GT-EX in an auction on Factory King. What amazes me is that such a car actually ends up on auctions at all. Perhaps the market for ex zokushas is getting stronger and this example is not a wildly tuned one…

As you can see its got an oil cooler up front…
From the rear everything looks normal, except for the rear wheels:

Nicely lowered kyusha style and the SSR Mk I rims tucked away under those rear fenders.
Interior looks bone stock as well:

According to the auction page the oil cooler up front is a dummy. So perhaps the auctioneers reckoned that such an ordinary car could very well pass for a normal example?

Not every kyusha kai styled car needs to be a 70s or 80s car: you could very well make your modern Toyota bB look retro with some fenderflares and SSR Mk I rims!
