Another New Zealander. ;)

Hi there guys. Found this site just today and didn't hesitate in registering. Recognise a few faces/usernames on here from other forums (clubae111.com, toyspeed.org).

About my toys, my main project and the real money sucker atm is my AE-111 Levin. Not to get into detail as this is a 101 forum, .
I also own an AE-101 Levin ('93 facelift model) as my daily. Is as factory as they come thank goodness, GT-Apex (4AGE silvertop model), manual. Will get some more pics up later tonight possibly.

Basically the mods list are really basic, GT-Z bonnet, King Spring super low springs with Monroe GT gas shocks. AE-111 BZ-R factory steering wheel and AE-111 BZ-R alloys. Is the factory green, grey two-tone in colour.

PICS TO COME

Sounds awesome aha, can't wait for pics

welcome to the site mate, cant wait to see pics of both beasts

What I can do right now is post up the TradeMe advertising photos of my 101.











As I bought her, as factory standard as possible!

Looking at these photos again it's really apparant how much I have cleaned it up in the 4 months I have owned it. Like I was saying, the engine bay, exterior and interior is MUCH tidier now with a good polish, new gearknob and steering wheel and floor mats (all courtesy of my BZ-R donor for the 111 project ). Drives very well, no real issues, just due for a maintenance service which is definitely on the to-do list.

Will get much more updated pics up once she gets back from the panel beaters where she is getting the GT-Z bonnet and clear coat peel fixed up you can see in the photo's above. Hopefully this will be all sussed just after Easter, waiting for my tax return to pay for the work.

Basically the plans for her after the body work is complete is to have a well presented example that is "cool" enough, clean and a pleasure to drive the mates and the partner around in.

Pretty much cause I can, and I'm sure we all love every generation of the 4AGE, here is the real money spender!


When I first purchased her (learner plates repping)!

To ....





Basically when I bought her Christmas '09, she was a '96 XZ model (4AFE), auto. So yepp, the 4AGE BT and manual conversion was/is a must.
So I came across a wrecked BZ-R on TradeMe after a bit of searching, funilly enough it was only located 5 minutes in that direction from my place! Ended up buying it as my donor car (4AGE 20v BT only done 99,000k's, 6-speed LSD box and all the other goodies)!

At present waiting for my MRP coilovers for her then the currently installed Monroe GT gas shocks with King Spring SL are coming out and going into the 101, along with the BZ-R factory alloys from the donor!

woahza, I like you already! IMO, we need more AE111s along. Many parts are swappable, and the DIYs pretty much the same, and both equally good looking!

Thanks for joining, welcome, and hope to see more of your cars!

Thanks mate. Much appreciated. Opinions/ideas/criticism always welcomed for any of the two.

If you wanted to have more 111's on here, may need to change the club title/URL address.
I typed in "ae101 club" into Google and I found www.ae101ownersclub.com, Chances of having 111 owners here are seeming thin at best!

Change to club 4AGE? Lol. Or I think there may be already a club 4AGE..

Yeah, I think there is already a club(s) for that haha. I'm just saying that I'm glad to see you joining and can see your slightly newer cars, which I don't see much.

very nice cars mate

Thanks again guys, appreciate it.

Will throw up a build thread on here when she gets back from the panels beaters.

Had a creep through all the other build-threads oh here, made for some really entertaining and interesting reading.
Loving some of the custom work you all have done to you'r cars. Few ideas were generated also.

good to hear you like the forum and all of our "custom" cars

Hey man and welcome. Slowly but surely starting to get more and more Kiwis on here which is great to see

Are Sound and I the only Canadians? I think so haha.

yh i think so

Yes the Kiwi's are taking over, But I can't really talk I'm an overstayer Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi
I'm loving the BZ-R, heaps of work there, I did the same with mine ditched the 4afe and hello BT 4age.

Ahh, hah thanks magweal. How did you find the conversion? Did you do it you'rself?

It went well, there were a few issues but that's normal. At least your doner has everything u need my doner was a carina so I had 2 source a few bits. I did it all in my garage with my 1 hand

yes and jamie (magweal) did it with 1 hand i beleave him ay bro..bro got my ae101 running with the 6speed box in i bridge the two wires and still running AT ecu heheheh goes harder man.
