A new mod for the Levin...

[breakbeat]

Whacked some clear side repeaters on and used some fancy wax, can't believe the difference it makes...looks years newer!

Cool - always prefer the clear lights look.

Get yourself some chrome bulbs to remove the "fried-egg" look and you're sorted. Cheap as chips from this lot - http://www.body-kit.co.uk/

They actually are clear bulbs in the front indicators, it's just they have this sort of clear plastic lense over the top to make them orange. I have to smash that bit from the bulb holder hole and shake it out, then replace it with an orange one. I will get round to it at somepoint...!

Ah... try the hairdryer method instead.

Heat up the lamp unit (try it on the old ones first) and the glue should melt.. then you can pull it apart, remove the inside, and then put it back together.

Well, when I say fancy I don't mean like this £100+ detailingworld kind of stuff, just some Meguiars NXT Tech Wax. It's fancy to my standards, I certainly draw the line at the £16 it was for one bottle!

'fraid not, no, FWD.

The handling is brilliant with the coilovers though and better still with smaller wheels. The handling is pretty good as standard to be honest.

I guess the closest thing you can compare it to is the Integra Type-R DC2.

Engine wise, it's got the 20v 4A-GE blacktop, kicks out around 165bhp standard. Quad throttle bodies as standard, VVT, revs to about 8,250rpm. Pretty mad engine, when you consider it's a 1.6 lol.

Oh thats a shame, it looks like a much meaner 200sx in my eyes.

So can I!

Oh well, it still handles fantastic and there's less chance of me ending up in a lampost.

Yup, it's got superstrut and an LSD and lowered quite a bit too. I believe the same set-up is used on the Celica GT4? Something like that.
