The Levin to Trueno conversion..

[seek]

see what happends when you post detailed questions? with some evidence that you have looked into it prior posting this thread? people give good answers back

I know nothing about treuno lights. but just my 2c....

[kaibeecee]

it seems every month this question gets asked by kids that get too far ahead of themselves.

to be brutally honest - spend your money on things more worth your while, like coilovers, or brakes. because when you're out driving recklessly, and crash into things, which by the sounds of it is a prior experience for you, an expensive front end is more of a loss than a gain.

it's a bit more than a 'bolt on' affair too by the way. it's not cheap to modify/scratch build the body loom

Once again, Dillon Mac getting far too ahead of his capabilities, possibilities, practicalities and dreams. it's been said before, buy a hyundai and get lost, or shut up, read and research before posting something thats already been written up many times before, and keep on the low low. 295 odd posts in just over a month, all full of shit! Just making yourself look like a real knob.

Hey Dillon,

I looked into this myself not long ago and Pm'd a few of the guys who had done it or had the parts. As usual everyone I spoke to was very helpful (you know who you are, I don't want to say who, mainly to try and stop a torrent of pm's your way ^_^ ).

The consensus seems to be that the actual panels themselves are just a straight bolt in affair. Un-bolt you current ADM panels and bolt on the new ones with head lights. Next time you pop your bonnet, have a look at your side panels etc and I'm sure you will see what I mean.

If this is something you are seriously considering, I recommend doing it before you paint your car, otherwise getting your car painted will be a waste of time.

I would also recomend giving it a go yourself. Even if you're no mechanic it's always fun to get behind a spanner right? And, as an owner of an 86, it's almost your duty to DIY where possible. The hands on experience you gain will help you no end with knowing how your car works and how it goes together. Plus it will also make you a more valuable member of this community.

You will need to decide which way you want to go first. Modifying your car's performance or the looks. The guys on here know what they are talking about and I'm sure most of them recomend the motor swap first because the difference between a 4ac and 4 ag are like night and day.

It comes down to where you want to go first. If you don't drive your car that hard or you don't require much more perfomance or dynamics from it and want it to look good, go for it. However, if day to day you want more from your car in every aspect, a set of pop up headlights wont help that.

Google this and see what you come up with and search these forums and maybe club 4ag and the european 86 community (those guys are great) and see what you come up with.

it's not an exact answer but I hope it helps.

by the way, how the hell did you get that many posts in such a short time?

dillon mac buy my trueno front it's og yota red aswell and guards are flared aswell direct bolt in no mods needed

[Dillon Mac]

So it's good to know that the conversion will be easy but now that it's been moved I wont find many opininons on how it will look unfortunatly..

The problem is now the $2g, a left rear S series axle, and some rust problems.. Friggen rust lol

[Jonny Rochester]

I will make it easy for you. 50% of people prefer the Trueno front. 50% of people prefer the Levin front. 90% of people leave it the way it was.

The s series diff for $30 is still on ebay(easily the cheapest option). Buy that so you can drive it. Get the front straightened and fix the rust it will only get worse with time. don't worry about the trueno front end for now because WHEN you crash again it will only cost you more $$$ spend your money where it is needed. and learn to drive a manual car
