Its a 2.0 twinspark, quoted 150hp from factory so probably round 140 now.
Transaxle, so clutch/gearbox/diff are all as one unit in the back. Diff is LSD. 5spd.
Torsion bar front suspension, DeDion rear (kinda semi-dependant)..
2 pot opposing brembo's w vented discs front, inboard solid discs rear.

Got 75 in december 2005, from whangarei. Was pretty much standard, had some stupid muffler on the back and fresh hubcaps :?

Got new exhaust after i bent the old one badly on a real shit driveway. Snapped completely 15 mins out of paihia :lol:. 2.25" from extractors -> coby -> louder muffler. 35% tints from tint-a-car.

Got new reeyums from continental cars, were giving them away at $25 each! 16x6.5, ET30. Not the widest but got them fitted with 205/45 eagle f1s so grip is pretty good. The centre bores had to be widened by around 1mm so got that done. Ended up at about $1000 with brand new tyres fitted.

Test fitting

Got stainless braided front brake lines from racebrakes, mintex M1166 front pads and changed fluid for motul rbf600. Made huge difference to braking, so much better pedal feel and stopping power.

Got 2 trackdays at taupo and around 5000kms out of those pads, not bad considering the pad area isnt the biggest.

Bought new springs for rear of TM, 50mm drop so need to fit those at some stage..

Will take some more photos tomorrow of brakes/springs etc.
