found this ae101 levin on trademe with badly fitting front bumper, king springs, pod and exhaust, paint job, monster tacho etc

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=74324240&key=65269

The plate says Hot boxed... was this guy high when he priced his car?? Sure its nice paint... but 15k for a levin?

heh some people dont have a firm grip on reality.
agreed it is nice paint , but hed be lucky if it sold for 4.

is it just me that crooked number plates drive nuts, i feel like shooting people on site whenever i see that.

by **soopachargen** » Sun Oct 22, 2006 11:13 am

at least the plate isnt just hanging off one screw

You could probly own a Turboed gtz for half that price, ks are getting up there too.

Id pay 4 tops for that also, but not really my cuppa tea.

go before show I reckon

Seen that around a bit down here. Guess the number plate makes him cool or something.

Hate the rims. Hate the tacho. Hate the number plater. Hate the lack of door handles. Car is generally arse to me :lol:

by **Lloyd** » Sun Oct 22, 2006 11:33 am

Little bit, not a lot. All noise and no go

by **Chickenman** » Sun Oct 22, 2006 11:41 am

There's a big difference dude..

One's black :lol:

But seriously... $15k for a paint job and a bodykit.

Harden the $&#$% up New Zealand.

by **Chickenman** » Sun Oct 22, 2006 11:45 am

ae111 will generally do 1 second quicker down the quarter.

I've currently got an ae101 gtz and an ae111 blacktop and I've owned an ae101 silvertop in the past, there is a definate noticible difference between the ae101 silvertop and the ae111 blacktop. I have friends with silvertops who agree with this after riding in my car as well.

I'm pretty sure that the ae111 is a little lighter, as well as being a little more powerful. The ae111 is roughly as quick as an ae101 gtz, although the power delivery is very different.

What is that guy thinking asking 15k for that car? I suspect it's going to take him a long time to sell at that price. He should take it to turners and ask them how much they think it's worth - that'd give him a shock.

Not only is it a badly fitted front bumper its not even for his car, correct me if im wrong but i think thats an aftermarket front bumper for an AE111

yep you are right. thts a AE111 Bomex bumper for the pre-facelift. I have to agree...pretty bad fitting and no attempt to fill in the gaps at all..i won't pay more than 4k for it. Even my car now is probably not worth $15k....so...he must be dreaming LOL!!!! :roll:

by **sergei** » Mon Oct 23, 2006 12:42 am

I guess I can critique the bling in this thread

I would pay 1500 for it because I would need to spend another 1500 to restore the car to close to original condition.

I bet the paint job is not that great at all. The car will need ne front bumper/grill, rear bumper. interior panels etc.

Anyway I actually would not pay anything for it becuase it is not worth the hassle.

I own AE101 (trueno) witth red paint jobbe. I went through 5 exhaust systems, as in growing up and slightly deblinging it every year

. Now I got ST165 as project so I don't do anything to my AE101, except servicing and put fuel in it, it is bloody cheap on gas aswell, with my lead foot desease I get about 8.6l/100km on average, in traffic.

when you are thrashing them the BT is a little bit better.

The rest of the time the BT is a lot better.

The BT actually has some power down low.

If you had a drag race between them and both shifted at 4000rpm, I doubt the ST would be within 2 or 3 second of a BT time.

by **Mr Revhead** » Mon Oct 23, 2006 7:29 am

yeah stock silvertop is POOS below 4000rpm.

Hmmmm someone seriously trying to recoup his wasted dollars :lol:

by **matt dunn** » Mon Oct 23, 2006 10:22 pm

we sold our AE101 levin a couple of years back for more that that.

had no rego, and no warrant, ( like most of mr revheads cars, lol)

but it did have a RWD 1JZGTE conversion???

Don't people realize that a car is never worth anywhere near what you spent on it???

And just coz you put $10k of crap onto a $5K car,
doesn't make it worth $15k.

by **slighty_sykotic** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 9:12 am

*thinks of what he sold his turbo trueno for*

$5500...

Cost me $&#$% over 10k....

*shrugs* Least I sold it fast :twisted:
