be prepared to dish out a lot of money on this. and quad 4 is expensive to own. Manny shop will refuse to work on it too.So if your mechanically inclined It's a good car, but if your not good engine wise....find an 3.1 GTZ instead.

id snag that up in a heartbeat just because that engine, lick the lq1-has SOOO much potential, but keep in mind its kind of a rare engine so parts matching wont be too easy, and from what i hear, this engine is a very big pita to work on. but considering with an ecu tune, porting, headers, cai, etc... you could be looking at power like what an s2000 puts out, for a 91 chevy 4 banger, thats pretty amazing!!

I had the same one but it had an eggcrate grill on it. it's not hard to work on those engine ( i (take 5 hours to get to the headgasket) but whatever you do on this engine you MUST NOT cut corners. The power is impressive I agree but it will never be an S2000 power. If you drive good and mod it you can go down to high-mid 14. stocks it's an mid 15sec car.
