[srd]

i was'nt sure the best place to put this so if it gets moved let me know thanx

just what can anybody tell me about the levin,the importer i buy my cars off told me he has one on it's way from the mecca of motors,but honestly guy's 'n' gals i know nothing about them so any info would be greatly apprecited.most importantly what size engines do they come in.if it's a good deal i'll definately think about changeing.

again any info would be great,thanx in advance

regards,

shane.....

I don't know anything about them either... but they look not bad. What year were you going for ?

[srd]

i think he said it was a 96,all i know is there are only three of them in ireland so it would be sweet to have a rare car.one of them is a 1.6 with 160bhp rwd that would do me nicely

[knowlson]

Did he tell you what model it was??? like BZ-r

The levins come in loads of diffrent forms I think not sure of model numbers but the engines are:

4age 20v 5 speed 160

4age 20v 6 speed 165

4agze 5 speed 165

4agze 6 speed 170

There all front wheel drive I think but there could be a rwd one , thats all the info I know about them I could be wrong on the 4agze 6 speed but I have seen one on a website somewhere I will see what I can get for you mate!

[sporty]

all I know about the levin is that there engines are very

similar to 1.6 v-tec hondas, pushing 160-180bhp.

cheers bud,i read somewere last night that some of them can be superchared,does anyone know if this is true?

cheers for the info sporty and knowlson

oh yeah i dont remember what model he said it was

[ae111sr]

They are based on the same floor pan as the Corolla. Knowlson swapped the entire front suspension and brakes from an earlier one onto a 98 Corolla so they must be pretty much interchangable. I believe that 95 was the last year that they put the supercharged 4A-GZE in the GT-Z model - not sure what went into the other models in the range. After 96 the GT-Z had the 1.6 20v VVT.

[srd]

thanx ae111sr,the more im learning the more i want one,what types of tuneing possabilitys have they,i.e. can they be pushed close to 200bhp? the 5 speed model for example.....

[97paseo]

They look sweet, buy one! :D

[silver surfer]

Hi,

i have a 1992 (j) Levin GT Apex Super Strut with a 4AGE 20 Valve engine (fwd) 160bhp standard, although i have done a few mods (180bhp)

I absolutley love this car, its great fun to drive, revs to 8,000 no problem. It looks fantastic, and you will probably not see another on the road.

Definately buy it.

[srd]

hye surfer,whats the story with parts for them are they specialist or more corolla based? oh and what do they handel like,if i do get it the first thing i'll be going for is lowering so grip should'nt be a problem but in general are they solid or twitchy etc........

I have found that alot of basic component parts

can be the same as a celica gt, so no problem getting them.

the car handles fantastic in the dry, and very twitchy in the wet, which you would expect from a fwd car.

[srd]

thanx surfer and everyone else who helped me out,i've a better idea now at what i'll be looking at when it arives in a few weeks......

[nippex]

Hi

I have a 92 gtz supercharged one,Fanastic car with excellent handling i 've just started to modify it,getting a custom hayward&scott manifold and exhaust made soon,port and polish,mines ecu,175mm crank pulley,front mount intercooler,that should take power to 200+ bhp.

I,ve also got a 93 20v arriving from japan soon. Both the gtz and 20v are excelent cars.

[srd]

that sounds like a sweet motor nippex,yeah like i said in the last post i made ive awhile to think about it until it arrives,and then i'll have to see what condition it's in.if it's what i hope it is i'll more than likely go for it but there are a lot of other cars im interested in

i'll just have to wait and see.........

[nippex]

here's a pick of my 20v turbo

[srd]

sweet car nippex,cheers for the picture bud,yeah i could definately see myself driveing one of those

[www.glanza.co.uk]

Just out of interest, how much is the importer looking to charge for the Levin?

Don't worry, I'm not going to pinch it from under you, it's just that I'm going to sell my 1992 Levin GTZ (170bhp 1.6 supercharged) in a couple of weeks and was just wondering what they fetch at the moment.

[srd]

i dont know what he's looking for it or what he'll give me for my 96 glanza.i have'nt called over to him lately,cause he said it should be here by end of the month or so.

so if it's not there to be inspected im not going over,sorry bud.i thought you sold glanzas www.glanza,dont you have one of those little valueation manuals for all models? if not get yourself one mate very handy little book to have

[nippex]

Hey Glanza

A 92 gtz levin in good condition is going to be worth 3500 for a standard example and 4000 to4500 half for a modified one.

I have spent 3000 just on mods on my 92 gtz so would expect at least 4000 when i come to sell it.

[www.glanza.co.uk]

SRD - I owned this car prior to selling Glanza's, and it makes more sense for me to have a Glanza than a Levin. I know the Glanza market well enough not to have a 'little black book', but needed an opinion on the Levin. Nippex's thoughts (thanks for the reply mate!) are in line with mine so job accomplished!

By the way, if you're interested in a p/x for your Glanza, give me a mail!

yeah i might do,cheers bud

sorry i could'nt help you on the price for your levin,but im still trying to find out what i can about them,and sadly theres not much info around,except for the input im getting from you guys......

[Bread]

there's three BZ-G's and one BZ-R in ireland at the moment, with another BZ-G on it's way (plus the one you are inquiring about). Two of the BZ-G's and the BZ-R were owned by a mate of mine who is now bringing in the other one. they are very quick and comfortable motors. many kits available and alot of tuning capabilities. the one in my avatar was tuned to bout 205BHP (guy in limerick owns it now i think) and handled like a dream. any more q's e-mail me at davidbread@oceanfree.net

[srd]

cheers bread,nice one
