SA60 Carina Help
I've just bought a SA60 Carina Surf (1S engine, T50 and T series rear). I'm having trouble finding any sort of information on it and I know that Banpei is a Carina expert. Just hoping he can point me to some articles or something Smile

I haven't picked the car up yet, so no photos.

Surfsupdude! Thumbs up!

I don't have much info on the Surf itself...
In specs it is based on the 1800ST. The rear should have coil springs (as found on the ST sedan) instead of the leaf springs (as found on the Carina Van) and, as far as I know, the infamous Carina fire van is also based upon the Surf.

In case you are interested in brochures, you can find almost all Carina brochures here:

Can't wait to see some pics! Tongue

Those brochures are awesome Smile Found the Surf in them.

Mine is not very pretty, cost me NZ$600. Has a broken windscreen, some rust, filthy/broken interior, broken tailight (will have to import one), a big dent in the passengers sill, gbox doesn't like 2nd gear etc. Still, its a carina surf!

Yeah, I was super worried, but the owner took it for a WOF (MOT?) at a really strict place and they didn't mention it Confused

Anyway, I've seen the 'A6' topic, so will move discussion there.
