jup, the boot space in my Celica Coupe with IRS was virtualy non existant, while your Carina had massive space!

Well, that is a bit exaggerated because you also had to store the cabrio top in there... But it did matter a few inches...

no, the softtop was stored on top of the boot Smile
Seriously, i couldn't put a crate of beer in the boot, not deep enough!

Aaahh thanks guys, I thought one of the wagons had IRS...

Isnt that red japanese 3S powered wagon, showing a lil camber on the rear? Or maybe just an optical illusion, or diff put in a press perhaps.

Also the EPC seems to show that there was a 2 door carina wagon...

Yes or no?

Havent ever seen one before.

Maybe they're talking about that version with the big high roof, hahaha.

it is possible to give a live axle camber Smile

the pics have gone down, but i saw a Japanese Carina wagon, which had a bent live axle, it worked with the play of the shafts in the diff Smile

Old Escort rally trick. Sure fire way to kill all the bearings in your axle. Better to go with a fully-floating conversion, like those sold by http://www.dwarfcarproducts.com/

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear

You probably mean this Carina wagon:

BTW: I went through all catalogues and could not find a 2 door wagon in there... So that question still remains unanswered I guess. Undecided
