EvoXbmx Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 There are only 135 of these cars currently registered in the US, and I own 2 of them. This car is the definition of rare. There may be 1 or 2 people on this board that know anything about them. For those who don't, I will educate you a bit: 800 were sold in the US. Made only 1 year. In stock form, they have a 1.6l turbocharged engine with AWD. The torque is split 60r/40f with a Viscous coupling in between, and it is equipped with a viscous coupling LSD rear differential. The car's suspension was "tuned by Lotus" hence the badging "Handling By Lotus" on it (the 91 Lotus Elan uses this same 1.6lT engine). somewhere around 160hp STOCK. Now for the goodies. The car has a 1.8l engine with higher compression and larger injectors installed. It is also an Isuzu engine, it just has a longer stroke. The turbo is a Garrett T3 and contains a divorced exhaust outlet that vents to atmosphere. It has the stock top mounted intercooler with stock NACA duct in the hood. The battery was relocated to the trunk to fit the cold air intake which is wrapped in fiberglass to prevent heat soak. Has a 6-puck heavy duty clutch installed. Has a few rare features to note such as the almost impossible to find un-cracked dashboard, uncracked door handles and working cruise control. AC is all there, but I have not tried to charge it. There are 155k miles on the odometer, the engine has 40k on it (was installed brand new 4 years ago!) Also have the stock RS wheels, so you dont have to rock the fugly Chevy ones on it. I have this car sold for 3200 to somebody in Maryland, but I do not want to drive out that far if someone will buy it locally. P/M me with your contact info if you want to take a look of have any questions. Please leave a phone number, as I am not on this forum often. Thanks! http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e346/billycoyote/2011-09-04173704.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e346/billycoyote/2011-09-04173714.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e346/billycoyote/2011-09-04173723.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e346/billycoyote/2011-09-04173542.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvoXbmx Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e346/billycoyote/2011-09-04173458.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e346/billycoyote/2011-09-04173452.jpg Injectors are 377cc. The turbo has a .42A/R I believe, its no monster but should be good between 200-250hp range. I am only running 6psi right now, because I wanted to put a wideband on it and make sure I am not in the danger zone before turning it up. With the higher compression, I want to take more precautionaries. The ECU is mapped to 14psi before it hits fuel cut. The compression is approx 9.7:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Cool car. I tried like hell ot get into one of these after my audi 5000 took a shit back in '92. I ended up with an Isuzu Stylus RS for short bit. Not a bad car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
