My new Car

[DW-Nova]

Hello there everybody, got myself a new car about 3 weeks ago, it's a 1997 Toyota Levin BZ-G, anybody out there heard of them? Love my nova but it's in kit form atm and is a long term project so i obviously need a daily driver, i had been driving around in crappers but i got sick of this so saw this on e-bay, went to see it and bought it, Absolutley love it!!!! For those who dont know (everyone probably lol) The levin is a japanese import, they're a 1.6 20V vvt which are on Individual throttle bodies, standard they are 160bhp but mine has a few mods and is about 180 bhp ish, it goes like stink once it comes on the vvt (5 rpm) it absolutley flies and revs all the way to 8500rpm, anyway heres some piccies, please everyone tell me what you think !!!

That's very nice and very unusual. What sort of money was in that?

/\ Thankyou for the comments mate, yeh you dont see many of these round at all, i paid £2800 for it from a dealer which i dont think is too bad at all, the other option was a Toyota Glanza but they fetch silly money.

Looks very nice, personally like it a lot! Nice to have something different.

/\ cheers mate, yeh it's a lovely looking car and drives lovely too, will take some more pics tommorow of the engine and interior, it's amazingly well specced for its age too, electric windows, roof, climate control/ ac, speed sensitive PAS too !! Handiling is absolutley amazing too.

Thats cool, would have been a close call between that and the Glanza for me though!

VVTLi from 5rpm? Yikes, its always in lift? lol :D

[Ben]

Not my type of thing but looks nice and clean example, just dont dent it, imagine finding panels for that!

[Dan_Coombs]

I would of rather had a Glanza but for the money you paid for that...it was probably a better pick. Glanzas fetch about 4-5k down where i live. So i think you went with the right car. Look forward to seeing the interior :)

[Spudly]

It looks like a cross between a soarer and a prelude to me lol


Funky looking lil thing though and clean too by the looks, they always rev high and go well do lil jap things, so looks like a good buy bud:thumb:

Local Toyota dealers can get panels, even for jap only models (and all TRD parts, and all Lexus parts - hint, get lexus parts from Toyota as they don't carry the Lexus markup lol) :D

Probably cost a bit mind, being dealer parts!

[DW-Nova]

Cheers for the comments guys, yeh it is a corolla coupe, Toyota Corolla Levin BZ-G in full, i think it's alot more car than a Glanza plus it's a fair bit quicker and the handiling is absolutley amazing !!! to late to take any photos at the moment but will deffo upload some more tommorow.

looks smart, what sort of price are they? i like the look of them, something different

[Asa-James]

forgot to mention, nice looking car

[DW-Nova]

I paid £2800 for him mate which for what your getting is a bargain imo, you can pick them up cheaper than this tho, check out www.ae111.co.uk (http://www.ae111.co.uk) for more info on them.
