Now that is a nicely modified car. Subtle changes that take nothing away from the original style. Love it!
I have a friend who used to have one of these and the sound was mega, the 4AGE at full tilt on ITBs is a lovely noise.
Do you find it's a right pain in the **** getting parts for it?

Thanks man, exactly my thoughts, i'm just trying to keep it original with a little bit of flair.
Yeah it sounds awesome at the top end of the revs. I'll whack up a vid of a drive by one day.
Parts are stupidly hard to source, doesn't help with there only being a few in the country, there's a ton in Ireland but they're not very helpful when it comes to shipping to England. It's actually cheaper for me to get a replica lip fabricated than to buy a second hand one. Wind deflectors go for £150 upwards. Black mask lights cost around the same.

I had noticed there were quite a concentration in Ireland, it's where my mates one came from.
FWIW Toyota still make the parts for it so there are few people on here with trade discounts who would probably be able to source a few parts if required.

Very nice indeed. Nice clean lines and the mods are very well done. Love the ashtray mod!

If money was no object I'd drop a Group A Spec 4AGE in it and do a RWD Conversion on it. That or add a Blitz turbo kit to mine.
I know a guy that's just dropped a K20A2 in to his Levin. Quite a few guys have dropped in a 2zz-ge engines in to them to.
I like mine as it is currently, it gets 36-41MPG and its far from slow :wink:
In a year or so i may get some TODA Cams or something but for now its staying as it is.

Thanks mate, should have the blue bolts in two weeks so they'll look even better.

Nice
Along with a few other cars a Levin was on a list of potential cars when i was looking for a car for Erin before choosing the GT4
Was after a model with the superstrut and 20V engine but once she saw a yellow 205 she had her mind made up
