Hi. Fizbne here.
You may know me from Mighty5's, MX5Nutz, some other places. Whatever.
I don't really post on here much because I haven't had anything interesting really. Although thinking about it, this glorious vehicle is well worthy of it's own thread so curse word it, I may actually write a belated, but glorious thread for this car. Anyways.
Now that I have your attention by making you think a Toyota T190 is like some old school really cool Celica GT or some curse word, I'm now going to disappoint you.
For sale is the best car ever to come out of Toyota's Burnaston Factory.
Here are some excerpts from the Toyota blog:
"By the end of its life, Carina E had become Toyota’s best-selling car in the UK,..."
BEST SELLING.
"Meanwhile, over in Europe, Germany’s TUV report put Carina E at the top of the league for quality and reliability, an award corroborated by the ADAC motoring organisation, which also ranked the car as the most reliable in its class."
RELIABLE. REEEELIABLE!
"Five engine options were available from launch"
FOKING FIVE!?!
"...and the rare GTi model had the most powerful option – the new 155bhp 3S-GE engine also seen in the Toyota Celica GT and MR2 GT. Later in the GTi’s life, large-scaled changes to this engine increased the output to 173bhp."
173BHP! FOKING HELL! BUT YOU'RE ONLY GETTING 133BHP. OKAY, WELL A SKUZZLE MOTORSPORTS DYNO'D 94WHP WHICH IS BASICALLY 130HP ACCOUNTING SLUSHBOX ETC.
"While the new sixth-generation Carina would eventually be made in Burnaston from December 1992, initial supplies were built in Japan for the car’s May 1992 launch."
IT'S JDM. SEE?!?!
YES This is, THE glorious Toyota Carina E T190. Or, Caldina, if you're in Japan. Sometimes even Corona, but not very often.
Yes, observe it's greatness and bask, for this is the last car you will ever need. Like, literally.
Yes, it has MOT. It works, it doesn't break. No wait, it CAN'T break because it's got the chassis of a Celica, with the durability of a Hilux. This is Toyota's peak, you can't get better than this. curse word Land Cruisers, just use a Carina E. It's even got a bash guard for the transmission wtf!!!!!!!!
"Srsly Fizbne why am you sell such glory vehicle?" I know, I know, it's madness to part with such a great piece of motoring heritage, but I need to free up some funds and space for something else, and I have access to a few cars anyways so my time with theBattleBus Carina will now have to come to a close. I could scrap it, I could attempt to roll it, I could crash it into a tree, or set fire to it, but honestly this car deserves to battle on and drive till the day it dies or be sent out to sea for a Viking funeral so that's why it's up for sale here and not on eBay / Gumtree for some lower class repugnant peasant to kill it dishonourably / use it to take their fetid child-spawn to be educated. fuuuuuck that.
So, here's the deal. £250 drive-away and you'll have a working car with MOT till August. + some 16" Subaru wheels ready for refurb and tyres. I'll even burn some cool period correct CD's for you, and leave some* fuel in it
Literally.
Find a cheaper car that ACTUALLY WORKS for that price.
Oh right, it doesn't exist.
Because it's broken.
Literrrrrrrrrrrally.
Real life scenarios:
"Hey, can you go to the shops in the Corsa?"
"Sorry, I can't the 13 year old council estate girl attractor isn't working anymore, and my 'tree on country road exit repeller' died so I'll crash and die.
"Hey, can you take the Clio to get some milk?"
"Sorry I can't the Brie to marseillesmethane converter isn't working and my coil pack blew up"
"darling, would you be able to take the Mondeo to get me some Aspirin?"
"Sorry dear, I literally just died because I drive a Mondeo and gave up on life"
"hey can you take the black astra with black tinted windows and black tinted windscreen to Westfield and buy me some gucci"
"sorry I can't see curse word because i'm a thick curse word and tinted my windscreen cos i'm bare roadman fam and I just got arrested for selling really curse word weed to kids in the council estate. also it's curse word and i crashed it."
The Carina would never face these issues
Real life scenario:
"Hey Haris you sexy beast, can you do a round trip to Africa to pick me up some Camel Cigarettes?"
"TALLY HO OLD CHAPEROO, BUCKLE UP YOUR 3 POINT SEATBELTS AND STICK 'ER IN D COS AWAY WE GO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
-5 hours later-
"GOOD DAY TO YOU SAH, DID YON REQUESTETH CAMEL CIGARETTE'S FOR YOUR SMOKING PLEASURE FRESHLY PURCHASED FROM YON AFRICAN CONTINENT?"
"Yeah mate, cheers"
I guess I'll write some form of spec list.
GOOD BITS:

So, here's some pictures.

You'll be the coolest of your friends, lol please MXwhat? TRsticks? CAREEN'ED.
LIFE ADVICE AND WARNINGS
TAILGATE TUESDAY
Steal some bikes and throw them in the back. Toooo easy mate. Will fit 6 bodies stacked on top of each other (with seats down)
Fujiwara Tofu Shop, because let's face it - Takumi will more likely have been in one of these than a curse word AE86, like get real come on.
CLOSED
TILT
SLIDE
OPEN BABY
JUST ANOTHER 119269 MILES TO GET TO THE MOON!
PERIOD CORRECT AUDIO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM
"WHAT'S THE RETAIL ON THAT WING?"
"MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD, PAL. GALVANISED."
STOKCORS (I MAY PROVIDE MORE)
It's got one Avon tyre.
And one Goodyear
Yes, it does ACTUALLY have tread.
It has oil. It doesn't burn / leak. Much... It's way less oil-burny than MX5's.
SKULLS
One hand on the wheel. One hand counting bills / Smoking Marijuana.
POWER ETC.
Yup, the engine is still there. Along with the brand new Genuine Toyota rad, and all genuine coolant hoses. curse word be pampered.
It beat some MX5's RE: WHP lawl.
BEAUTIFUL TORQUE CURVE.
The MIGHTY 3SFE engine is slanted over the axle. Obviously for weight distribution because this is literally a touring car. Also, easy access to the OIL FILTER and SO MUCH ROOM FOR TURBO.
HIIIGHWAY TO THE DANGERZONEEEE (IT GOES QUITE LOW LOL)
The wheels. They need tidy up, but once done it'll make the car look ULTRA presentable, not that it already isn't but you know.
Okay, so that's it really.
If you're in the need for a solid car that works, will get you from one place to another without dying for a little bit of cash and MOT for daaaaaaayssssssssssssssssssssssss then here you go!
£250, MOT till August, works forever. 90's Toyota. Yup. Ok.
Message me / Text on NO MORE NUMBER***
***Just an FYI, I don't want any regular jackoff's to be buying the BattleBus so I've removed my number (I shouldn't have put it up anyways really but I'm special so whatever). So if you're interested, PM me your number / for mine and we'll discuss.
-EDITS-
*amount of fuel may vary depending on what extra gift you bring when the car is collected. here's some hints: I lost all my guitar picks, I broke my coffee French Press, vape juice is tasty, I like heavy metal, MX5's are great...
**actual roof-vibration-resonance speed is 64mph

GOOD BITS:
- Tyres: No matching, all part worn, 1 Goodyear Eagle, 1 Avon, 1 Barum, 1 I haven't even bothered looking (UPDATE, I CHECKED AND IT'S A NANKANG WITH 400TREADWEAR LOL!). Avon has loads of tread, the others are (genuinely) legal with 2mm+
- Part worns are also £15 fitted. So you could get lucky and get some Toyo 888's or something mad to deliver tofu.
- 2.0 130HP 3SFE Engine mated to a 4Speed(with Overdrive) automatic transmission for drag racing at SantaPod
- New rear shocks fitted a couple years ago, but they're all AOK all round!
- Bushings, brake lines, Arabs all good.
- Brakes have HEAPS of pads left, and the handbrake does it's job
- It has ALL THREE KEYS AND THE ORIGINAL KEYRING!!!
- There is ZERO knocking from anywhere, it looks curse word, but it's mechanically on point
- IT HAS A WORKING MOONROOF! I gave the runners a re-grease as well the other day, along with the doors and stuff!
- the body is Galvanised steel so it doesn't actually rust. there is no rust. nothing is rotten. And I don't mean "I'm an curse word selling an MX5 on Facebook, the car is solid look there's no rust" -shows picture of all filler no killer sill-. there isn't any. Like, there's some surface rust on the front wing from a dent when someone reversed in to it, but as its galvanised, it just like, doesn't rot. because curse word you science, that's why.
- exhaust is okaaaay. it has a small blow from the centrepipe, but not enough to constitute an MOT advisory / failure. Just makes it sound MEAN. It will also occasionally pop when you rev it at the lights at 3 series drivers looking to get rekt.
- Period correct Sony XPLOD CD Player + Front speakers which may come with some period correct CD's I burned (KOrN, Britney, Nirvana, RATM)
- Kia Sorento external transmission oil cooler (yes it's plumbed in and works! don't ask!)
- 2 year old Genuine Toyota Radiator, with genuine Toyota hoses (wow)
- Had an oil change, whatever.
- Bare space in the back, threw two mountain bikes in on Wednesday to go riding, could probably fit loads more in as well.
- Berry scented screen wash
- STICEKRS
- Fully working, and Factory optional extra MOONROOF.
- Comes with the original owners manual and service book and brochure which sits in a lovely vinyl wallet in an under-seat drawer which is super cool!
- Scissor jack, original First Aid kit wow, spare trans oil, spare engine oil
- Currently on 106,3XX miles and counting. It's got another 897,7XX miles before the headgasket is due
- Starts on the first crank of the engine SUCH COMPRESSION VERY HEALTH
- blows no smoke
- Shares the same floorpan as the FWD Celica ST185/ST203 (one or the other) so the 4Pot brakes, and suspension components are interchangeable. Along with the 3SFTE Motor, if you're so inclined. And 4AGE/7AGE, will drop right it if you're mental enough to do this as a silly project.
- it's cool
- people look at you in envy
- people also get the curse word out your way
- It's SUPER DUPER comfy
BAD BITS:
- Look at it
- People run away from you in fear when you're CARINAING down the road
- ^ No wait that's a good thing
- It has a feature that when you're on the motorway at precisely 63.5MPH** the roof somehow starts to vibrate due to some resonance / airflow over the roof racks, but 65MPH is great <3
- ^ That's also great actually I guess.
So, here's some pictures.
