Hey guys,

Found this site a couple of weeks ago. Corolla/Levin models all the way back to the sixties. Being Japanese there's no KE's. but near enough's good enough I say. My TE37 arrived in the mail today. Not a great amount of detail' they're only small models. Cost was about 2600 yen which converted to approx $25 at the time.

"Goods explanation:They are the peak of an J's light weight sports car, and the appearance of TE27 system Toyota Corolla REBIN. In addition to the intrepid body style which lessened the big exaggerated fender made from FRP of the feature and a big shell type mirror, and the plating part as much as possible, the noted opportunity and 2TG twin-cam engine which were developed for SERIKA were also reproduced. The circumference of a leg heaps up the image of a light weight sport further with a TOMUSU wheel, a sport steering, etc.

such friendry engrish!

I love translators... :lolcry:

 

Its quite funny though... when searching for a car on some of the Jap auction websites, you have to know the phonetic translation of the car you are looking for, also taking into account the Japanese accent (as in cannot pronounce the letter 'L') as that is how they are written in the databases... ie:

 

Legnum - Reganamu

Lancer - Runsir

Celica - Serika

Skyline - Sukarine

 

etc etc

 

 

parts are even harder... like that Tomusu in the previous post is actually a TOMS steering wheel...

The TE71's Better

 

Goods explanation:KARORA 1600GT carries the masterpiece 2 T=GEU type engine of a twin-cam engine, and demonstrates horsepower output 115ps/6000rpm and maximum torque 15.0kgm/4800rpm. Blow going up from a low-speed region to a high-speed region is good, by matching with EFI= electronic control formula fuel equipment, power is demonstrated without leaving, if the power serves as room to a city area run and it becomes an expressway run, it excels also in instantaneous power in case of emergency, and a safer run is possible. 1600GTs won popularity as a new sedan sport into which DOHC (twin cams) changes a run.
