I didnt know about this car until about a year ago. I was waiting for my friend outside a petrol station and what i thought was an S15 pulled up, then i noticed it had ‘levin’ on the back. I wasnt really sure what it was, maybe a riced silvia or a one-off import from japan. Always loved them since…
Which petrol station was it? I’m down Bristol quite a lot, round Bradley Stoke/Stoke Gifford way. Might have been me. XD
I remember this one! It’s basically a more modern AE86. Only thing is this one is FWD instead of RWD. Didn’t stop it from handling great tho, a friend of mine back home has one that he’s still working on as his project since Toyota is the most imported brand.
Their engine is a freaking masterpiece. Not only its a legendary 4A-GE, but it has a 20-valve head and its the first Toyota engine featuring variable valve timing and four individual throttle bodies! In AE111 it puts out a juicy 165HP. All from an N/A 1.6L powerplant! And the sound of that is just immaculate.
