    Vince Lewis is a known liar. People like him are why hippies get such a bad rap... they make up or otherwise inflate shit so they can suck mugs in. How are the chem trails over your way Vince?

    I would encourage everyone to visit his site. It's an excellent living memorial to 90s web design. Why all nutters have that in common, is something that cannot be explained.

    When you think about it, the production of most commercial products must out do actual sales. White ware, appliances, technology products, vehicles etc. Most production excesses have to end up somewhere.

    Perhaps I should buy your conspiracy theory book to gain a better understanding.

    We've been over this one before, I think...

    Don't say 20V, please. Too many of them dead and broken, or casually mucnhing oil more than Akzle munches the bud.

    I believe you and I had this discussion a few months ago, I maintain the 20v is a great motor but if you're looking for reliability the early 16v 4AGE is better (the only common problem I know of involves TVIS and is easily rectified) and Toyota has built countless other great motors. Admittedly my 20v does use a lot of oil, about a litre every 5000km, but I still love the power delivery and strength of that motor.

    I changed the alternator on my Sons Levin....what a mission, they built the car around that.
    I was surprised when he got it, the power for a 1600 and still quite flexible.

    mate has one. You CAN do the cambelt with the engine in....(i would suggest having someone slam your hands in a ranch slider first - to prepare you for the pain, but also to make your bones narrower)
    Auto and tops out at 183 (gps) whether in fun mode or not. Would i buy one?
    No.
    Sticky as shit but hard ride and fuckall travel till yr grinding rails.
    And an lsd on the front? Unless youre doing it in reverse, its fucken random on gravel.
    My 85 age (manual)was the fucking shiz, shame it was wasted on fwd.. The fx gt starlet (manual) was fun and the gt carrozerla?, might have been a 20... Auto.
    Fuck that got raped, hard.

    A nice 4AGE or 4AGZE Corolla with moar boost would be nice. Pity they're all fucked by now.

    Bro my brother has 2 4AGZE Levins. One Street legal and the other running a Lexus V8 twinscrew supercharger at 22psi. Hes hoping to break 400hp on it this year.
    Solid cars.

    I drive a EF XR6 and there are always atleast 10 of them throughout aucklands pickaparts. One of the reasons why I refuse to sell it. It tows a boat pretty good too

    They're reliable if you fit a decent breather system to them and a fucking maaaahoosive oil drain from the head, otherwise I would not recommend raping one, it's the reason there are countless exploded bottom ends in 16V 4ages.

    Yeah, good ol' 20v, like a B16A but with less cute wee motors. I wouldn't mind building a 7age up one day, dump it in an AW and have many, many giggles (and shits...).
