Turbo Levin on trademe. Does 12.2 1/4 mile???

Apparently this Levin does a 12.2 sec 1/4 mile. With 16psi with an unknown turbo.
Is it Jades old car? Looks very similar if it isn't.
I've asked a few questions about the claimed time and Brendon and Barry have joined in as well.

Is this dude for real or is he just spinning $hit?

yeah its jades old car. the guy claimed he used nitrous to do it. very very dubious . barry, brendon, myself and jade have all made comments :lol:

i think the guy underetsimated how well most of us keep track of other builds.

there is another 4agte running nitrous to the tune of 300wkw, but i'm pretty sure someone would have noticed an ae101 running low 12's.

Yeah I thought it was Jades old car. Dunno how well it'd go now that this dude has owed it though. Seeing as it's had a crash and all :roll:

I call BS on the 12.2 big time!!!

has had a couple of owners since i think, and the word was that it was getting a hard time in new owners hands too. had a decent frontal impact too.

lol,

I nearly brought this car twice, I offered Jade 8k for it when he first listed it on trademe and he turned me down, then seen it again on trademe a few months later, so I phoned the new owner and made the deal, On my way to the airpot he txts me and tells me it in a w/s broken down!? called the w/s and found out its been overheated and blown a headgasket, chuffing blowby and smoking like a mofo! I was bloody gutted!. the tdo5 with 16g was replaced with a smaller td05 aswell.

lost interest after that, I have seen it listed after that though, remember saying the motor had been recond. that done 13.3s when EVLGTZ owned it
