Big_T-SR Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Not completely sure on that one lol, i don't have the engine with me to check, but i'll put it past him to make sure.Yer, i jus got the plastic bit, as that was the only part that was damaged, jus a few scratches here and there on the rocker cover thats all.But i've just ordered in some Velocity stacks from technotoytuning, well... Jay (my bro, also on Levinoc) did for me. He got some red ones but i wanted silver. It seems all of Wheelsjamaica.com people recommend when they went into full details of the 4age and trumpets.If you're interested into a long and insightful read, here's one of the links:http://www.wheelsjamaica.com/wheels_forum/...p;topic=45443.0I must add tho, 4E-FTE knows sooo much! AND he says:*** Quote *** Yes, I back. What the hell have I been doing. Reading! Got some more jap crap, so I'll share it with you all. This is to get all you Levin guys started.As usual I'll be frank. I'm no tuner. I read, research, and recommend to other folks. I put what I want on my own car. That's it. Want tuning, talk to Toyracer or someone like that. Need ADVICE, I'm most willing as people know. I don't own a Levin (Starlets rule) *** Quote ***Representing starlets! lol How sad am I...

Mikey Jay Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Those stacks are nice. Could you PM me how much they come to with the shipping?Would suit my car too (going for a red theme) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big_T-SR Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 Yer, i'm going for a black and red theme, as you can see from my bodywork, but i just didn't like the anodised kinda red.. looks too fake for me, so i chose the silver ones. Have you checked it out on the wbsite? http://www.technotoytuning.com/productlist.php?vehicleid=9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Yeah, saw the website.Pretty reasonably priced too Was just intrigued as to the shipping costs.Like the look of the lightweight water pump pulley too, although not sure if would need a different length belt to go with it or not.

Big_T-SR Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 No idea... You recon anyone on Levinoc has done it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Not sure tbh, but lightweight pulleys would be good.(Is a place near me that make them custom, so could always leave my car with them some time and get a few sets made up, would you be interested in some for your 4age, and maybe Jay too if I did that?)

Big_T-SR Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hey guys, after coming back from Hong Kong i hear that my mechanic also went away, but to egypt instead.. he came back earlier than me and caught the illness that was going around the uk, something about fluids coming out of both ends.. (throwing up and having diarrhea), nice and pleasant, but the point is less work was done to my car than planned but i think its still going well.Here are some pics of some of the work so far. Still needs to slice bits off for extra room even tho there is JUST enough room after the initial slicing.As you can see, the pulleys for the belts are close to the side. Thats after cutting has been done! Final results are still to come, as are more updates and more pics.Any comments are welcome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
