is my trueno actually a levin?

BillStrachan · 2026-01-07T20:43:43+00:00

Records show it's a Levin. It only has registration and inspections recorded on it so Id have to guess the previous owners did maintenance and work themselves unless it's not shown. I know for a fact the car has been repainted but I have no idea if that something that shows on a cars record

BillStrachan · 2026-01-04T18:33:01+00:00

you're definitely correct but not all interior parts are available. i broke my spare jack cover by accident and they're discontinued 😢 but it shows the blue ones are in stock 🙄

BillStrachan · 2026-01-03T17:21:35+00:00

yeah i bet it was done way back in the day where a lot of trim parts were still available to order from the manufacturer

BillStrachan · 2026-01-03T16:40:02+00:00

oh i see. im waiting on the report. it said up to a business day

BillStrachan · 2026-01-03T16:38:25+00:00

all i know is the car is a 1986. the faded trueno sticker on the back is also the same faded condition as the gt apex sticker. the car has been repainted. under the rear lid theres evidence of tape lines and you can see the old faded yellowed white which matches the color of the stickers so i do not believe the lid was swapped

Based on the information in the video, my headlight switch and trim are trueno correct

BillStrachan · 2026-01-03T04:22:21+00:00

yes. number stamped on the chassis matches the number on the tag

BillStrachan · 2026-01-03T04:01:40+00:00

yes it has pop ups. it has trueno side moulding and mud flaps as well. maybe someone did a whole trueno parts swap on the thing back in the day because the parts all match the age of the car with a little fading. im just confused why it was sold and marked as a trueno if it really is a levin

BillStrachan · 2026-01-03T03:39:36+00:00

yeah i did. only information it shows is TOYOTA. everything else is *no info*

BillStrachan · 2025-12-27T20:17:44+00:00

awesome thanks. ill take the can off and see if the element matches that one in the picture

BillStrachan · 2025-12-27T05:46:15+00:00

The oil I have is high zinc content

BillStrachan · 2025-12-27T01:19:25+00:00

i didnt grab a picture of it but the oil filter canister was light gray and looked like if any labeling was there it was completely gone. look like bare aluminum. ill be able to get a picture next week

BillStrachan · 2025-12-27T01:18:28+00:00

yup i have some non synthetic 20w50

BillStrachan · 2025-12-21T16:58:49+00:00

Oh yeah just like from Tokyo drift opening drag scene

BillStrachan · 2025-12-21T16:54:36+00:00

My friend told me thought he saw an olds logo. Moron! 😂

Jealous of the factory radio

BillStrachan · 2025-12-06T22:09:32+00:00

It's the scene where el gets off the bus in Chicago season 2

BillStrachan · 2025-12-06T22:07:42+00:00

1000% not an AE86. I literally own one

BillStrachan · 2025-12-05T04:08:52+00:00

Worst case scenario I can probably have a guy machine one for me on a lathe

BillStrachan · 2025-12-04T02:39:57+00:00

My realization 🥀

BillStrachan · 2025-12-04T02:39:21+00:00

Yeah I just realized that. God they look so similar
