banpei,

Thanks for the infos.

Roman,

Dun think it's the original spoiler cause u can't get any carina stuff over here.

There was a factory option spoiler for the sedan, was just wondering if there was one for the coupe too....

Anyone handy with an EPC? Smile

Roman: no, unfortunately only for the sedan...
Or you have to be lucky and find an aftermarket spoiler...

I did find a set for the Sedan:
Carina front spoiler

Bought both of them as a set, but I'll probably only install the front lip. Smile

you actually found a FOHA set for a Carina! Worship

Good lord, great digging going on there! Very Happy

Is it that special then? Blonde question

well, FOHA stuff is getting rare lately, especialy for non-wanted models (like the Carina)

I can give you the details of the seller: he's probably got more than this since it was a general advertisement like "for sale: lot's of stuff for classic Japanese cars" or something like that. Wink

is it specifically for the carina, and where izzit made, never heard of the brand here though.....

It was specifically made for the Carina when the car was new. Smile

Did some googling and found that the company originates from Austria (could have guessed with the A on the picture) and currently is part of another company:

Hi there,

Can somebody tell me, what could be the factory tire size of a TA62 coupe? I'm attaching a pic below, those wheels were on my car, when i bought it.
I think those are stock A6 Carina rims and tires. Their size is 175/70R13.
A friend of mine works for a Toyota dealer, and i asked him to look for the stock tire size in his program. He told me, that the progam say the factory size is "185/70HR13" and "165SR13".
I'm searching for the CelicaSupra P-type rims, and hopefully i have found a set for sale nearby (i'm going to look at it tomorrow). It's 7" wide and as i read, the minimal tire width is 195 for a 7" wide wheel. I dont know which tire would i choose to aviod the known problems regarding the mismatching rolling radius...

Thanks
Andrew

From experience I know my ae86 did not have any rubbing problems with 195/55 R14 on those CS rims.
The L-type 15 inch I currently have on my Carina do have a different offset (+20 instead of +8 ) and don't have rubbing on the inside of my Carina with 195/60 R15.

The 7 inch should have 1 millimeter less clearance on the inside and should be extending 2,5 cm on the outside. I can mesure if 2,5 cm should give you enough clearance on the fenders. Smile

I know from experience that 185/60 R14 does fit on those 7J:
Celica Supra P type rims on my old Trueno

And 165/50 R14 is also possible and should give you a nice stretched look. Thumbsup

@AndrewGL: My Carina featured the 165 R13 combo without any height indication. I measured them and came to the conclusion they had to be about 165/83 R13. Then I used a tire calculator and matched 165/85 R13 with the 185/60 R15 combo to maintain the same size.

@The Doctor: Live axles rule! Puh

no, IRS rules, you get free camber when you grind the springs in halves! ;D
