Toyota Levin GT-Z (supercharged)

[lingl9z]

Basically looking for some spec's on the Levin GT-Z supercharged and the standard 1.6 silver tops + insurance groups?

Cheers all.

 

[lingl9z]

bump, what are these like?

 

[Guye]

When I get home I'll post a link to a best motoring race. The GT-Z was extremely impressive in it. It came first while the GT Apex was dead last.

Sorry I can't help much, but I love the look of these

Cool lookign motors but being supercharged you're very limited to things you can do power wise

 

[Derek]

I know a lad that has one can ask him a few questions if you like dude. What would you like to know?

 

[lingl9z]

Cheers for that Guye, rep added I will look in to it, at the moment I'm looking at.

Levin supercharged
Vti Civic
b16 (Freshly built) Crx Del Sol
Clio 172
Clio Williams
Mr2 turbo
Kp61 (if the guy still has it I will deffo take it)
S14 (providing I can get a decent quote)

so looking at the above you think the Levin would be a good contendor?

With that list of choices the levin is outclassed.

 

[lingl9z]

I'm looking at really - fairly nippy, reliable and fun to drive the bmw I had was only fun when you got the back out, other than that just a big heavy boring lump! I'd love the levin as it's pretty rare around my paths!

S/C Levins (well levins in general) are usally high insurance.

If you want fun id stay away from the civic,while they can be fun driving them hard thats all you get,and for them to not be boring they have to be driven hard (all IMO)

Id try for the S14,RWD+Turbo and Jap

 

[Dan3SGTE]

IMO any car not driven hard isnt exactly fun. Thats why you buy fast cars to drive them hard. And the civic would depend what engine it has in it. B16a/2 is ok but in the VTI shell its a little lazy as they arent that light, in the CRX its more lively.

Saying that, i wouldnt own a civic VTI or a CRX, only the EK9 out the civics have only ever interested me. Thats just me.

I would personally pick the S14 out the ones listed if you can get a quote mate. Ive had some experience with every car you mentioned there apart from the Levin but they never have interested me in owning one.

Im not really into really old looking car. I think they are super cool but wouldn't own one.

BUT, your choice at the end of the day.

I had a Levin GT-Z Super-Strut back in 2003/04, and it was a hoot! Nicely set-up, and the charger made for very swift driving, plus, good mpg from memory too. Not demonically quick, but good for zipping around here and there.

pumbaGT wasn't it?

Cheers buddy, if the insurance on the S14's anything close to the mr2 I should be aright!

Yeah I know what you mean mate, I do like s14's I've also got to take in to account weather they'll fit down my drive way lol as I wouldnt trust it on the street is west croydon!

I guess the best thing I can do is look in to all of them, take a few that I've not driven for a spin and go from there (although I do want something reliable)

Yeah I've always liked the look of these cars and very rare around here, having only ever seen one passing through! it doesn't have to be super quick I guess, just fun and reliable! =]

pumbaGT wasn't it?

Ahh that what he moved on to?

OR MR2 TURBO :rockon:
Plenty after market parts available.

Phew, a positive sign in my failing memory

Unfortunate for him though, how long ago was that? Also, the GT-Z's are equipped with the SuperStrut Suspension and associated brakes upgrades aren't they?
