Toyota Levin BZ-G (Import)

[breakbeat]

Does anyone have any clue about these? I'm getting one on Sunday, everything seems to check out, cheap to insure, rare, good looking, handles well, great engine...

Anything I should be worrying about?

Also is the VVT similar to VTec in a Honda? A turbo like kick at about 5,000rpm?

its Toyotas Integra fighter, AFAIK.

there are a lot of these over here in ireland, is it def the BZG your getting and not the BZR?? if its got a 5speed box its a BZG and if 6speed then its a BZR, BZG should put out bout 160bhp and the blacktop BZR was standard at about 175BHP, what year is it early 90's or 96-00 spec?? very very solid car will run all day and night without any trouble at all. BZR is the one you want though as the BZG is a bit sluggish. as long as you keep it serviced every 5000miles or so and keep an eye on the oil you should have no trouble with it at all, hit me back with any questions

Rocket ships with the 20V'ers, fun little cars & nothing will EVER go wrong with it. As above the Oirish boys love em so they must be good

Toyota said that these engines 165/175 bhp but you will be disappointed if you ever get it on a dyno. more like 145 / 155 in real life. I've got the supercharged 16 valve version which was suppose to make 165 stock but was more like 155 and that was with a big crankshaft pulley and some other mods. Only when I swapped out the OEM ECU and put in a MOTeC did I get better figures.

I got the car now, seems fairly rapid!

It's a BZ-G as far as I know, but it's got the 1.6 20v blacktop engine and superstrut suspension...?!
