Hi all,
Got my levin as my first car after binning my bike in dramatic style (bike vs bus vs truck, there was only gonna be one loser!)
Too cold for riding the bike with many broken bones so i went four wheels.
Saw an integra parked up somewhere and that got me interested in the imports. after trying in vain to find the dohc vtec model i discovered the levin. just...better. Got a cheapie 96 bzg for 800 euro. english import. love how toyota call nearly every car they make a corolla, makes insurance handy. mostly standard as im not a fan of big sideskirts etc.
Only mods are springs front and rear, lowered on the front with a brace. alloys. and a stainless exhaust that makes me go deaf if i sit at 4k revs but is ok besides that. thats all.
Amused myself doing a major service in the wet over the winter -timing belt,tensioner,waterpump,fluids,brakes and much more- to date its cost me 1975euro. Amazing how it all adds up!
Plenty more to do, front discs would be nice (warped), rear shocks (pogo sticks and are at standard ride height which i dont like one bit, makes it look like a 4L van..), front shocks (nct fail but tyre pressures could be to blame), and piston rings maybe (i should really stop carrying oil around with me and do this :$ )
What ive learned so far-dont skimp on front tyres again! the power handling and braking will quickly overcome budget tyres on this car.
people dont expect these to move quite like they do :D two people who've driven it have asked me if its turbocharged B)
Anyway, thats me!
