My girl from the inside :) — Toyota Corolla Levin, 1.6 liter, 1997

Let's start with how it was purchased and why this brunette is now around my neck :)
There was at that time one option — Toyota ED. To this day, I like its appearance, then I managed to know it in action. Of these, I rode fur, automatic, GE and FE, as well as such variations as the FE engine, the box from the GE and vice versa :)
Well, here's the traditional moment, I'm sitting dug in the pages of a car flea market, I stumble upon an ED 3S-GE on fur from FE. We drive up, look, at a distance of 10 meters beauty! Closer, multiple jambs and neglect by the host are already visible. But! No problem! 1st, 2nd, 3rd … hole … we make 2 hatches in the roof with our heads, the suspension is tough, we move on. There is no undermining as such, but the speedometer needle is moving steadily up. The noisy 3S adds thrills with its roar :) Having hit a couple of times, we stop, look around in the cabin, I think about the price tag that they will give me before I put the girl here, come on girl, even my friends would not understand me :) Rotten door trim , unrealistically oblezshiy steering wheel … in general, everything is in detail, but it turns out that it is all in detail and is falling apart. In this form, cars are brought to x-zibit for pumping (I remember his face,
Next, we get out of the pepelats, look externally. Peeled varnish, white pearl paint, sometimes matte o_O (someone did on the hood of someone …)
Bottom line: All I liked it was 3c-ge and molding with rubber. The rest needed a lot of work.
We come home, think, figure out how much money to invest, etc.
On the trail. I stomp to work in the morning and open the core for the last time. All that comes across from the unexplored is Toyota Levin. Description at a minimum and without photos.
So, Levin … Levin … remember what kind of car this is … Silhouette in the eyes, outlines … athletic uniforms … YOU MUCH coupe! I call and make an appointment.
We drive up with a friend and argue that a white Toyota will come. We get horseradish in the teeth, I'm going to look at the black one. Let's just say that I noticed the dynamics of control even when the previous owner drove into the parking lot. So get used to it and in place without a heel and whistle of rubber.
Further, everything is like in paradise, for her year the absence of Kotsykov means only one thing — broken, after painted. Even with some satisfaction I find these small bastards all over the body :-D The rear lights immediately impress with their appearance. Along the way, I remember that I always liked the Honda s2000 :)
Mordakha broken, but superficially, are native headlights, but knocked down mount. Crooked craftsmen repaired the hood so that it became longer over the left headlight! Now this is the first thing I bother about the appearance - change it and put it in the garage until winter, and then ride it down the hills. Of course, I would also like to put those masters on this hood and set it on fire, but I don’t know where and who they are, and they say what kind of setting fire to crooked STOshnikov is an article like for full-fledged people.
When I examined it outwardly, opened the driver's door, looked into the salon ... Oh yes, baby :) The contrast after the EDhi that I looked at is unreal :) The seat with side holders, I always liked the Toyota front panel as it is directed towards the driver plan of the supra). Everything is simple, but at the same time it is quite convenient and at hand (I was surprised if it were otherwise with such dimensions of the car). Sitting behind the wheel, on the go I remember that it is necessary to warn the owner about the test drive, which began to guess and already uncertainly trudged towards the passenger side.
We leave for other peoples (we can say that one of the smoothest roads in our city) and away we go. 1st — gas to the floor, did not have time to blink, as after EDhi with a long box, I have a cutoff. Stsuko the box is short, moreover, it also quickly raises the speed Pts. Kui with him, give the second. I squeeze the clutch and with a crunch o_O I stick the second one. I’m sitting and remembering, sort of squeezed it out, sort of neatly ... okay with him, let’s drive on. We leave the city and flew. The motor hums pleasantly, the machine picks up speed with ease. Along the way, I ask the owner how much he overclocked it, in response I get that more than 160 is not going. Being well-read on the fact that the capacity is only 115 ponies, I squeeze the clutch and having prepared my hand over the 5th gear, I glance at the speedometer, wow what am I seeing! 160 on it :) At the same time we are sailing on the road! What do you think I did next? Yes! I stick the 5th! (did you think you painted your toenails?) I accelerate to 170, I make sure that the arrow does not freeze in place, but can ischo. I let off the gas.
Now I'm taking my girl and on the very first day we go to nature, loading 3 passengers with things. We are going to the Potroshilov forest. And here I see an ideal road to check what Leva can do. My face was glowing with happiness when, given the entire load, I accelerate it to 175. To say that the machine is tense at the same time does not turn the tongue.
Approximately in a week, I decide to look at the dipstick. The level is normal, but only black in the corner, at night, is blacker. I am going to change the oil in the box and in the engine right away. And then I find out why my second one crunches! STOshnik's eyes were like eggs in a frying pan when he unscrewed the oil drain nut. A couple of drops fell from there! He called the old owner with all his heart Russian and gave the order to interfere with the pen more often, because if it doesn’t pass through ~ 1000 km, then it means pindyk synchronisms.
It's been 1500, as I'm already sticking with a swing to the second one, I'll live :)
Since then I've been driving, doing automatic vegetables up to 2 liters and I'm happy as an elephant.
Let's just say, slightly winking and crossing two fingers behind his back, "I still have enough power for me" :)

The other day, I still made Leva shit :) I just put the arrow, but did not bring it to 180 :) Now the question is, do they have limiters? I really didn’t get buggy, but the speed picked up after she hit the “floor”. The photos are not important, the girl took it on a bad phone :)

Thanks to everyone who mastered the story and finished reading :)
