About
Was my first car. Transformed from an uber base model to what it is now. Garnet exterior on garnet interior.
123,000 miles on the car and it still looks good 15 years later.
Hit 144.2 dB at a local stereo competition (2003).
Specs
Not fast, but handles extremely well thanks to the suspension work I did first. Equipped with a 2.2L TBI (only one fuel injector) with a poor intake manifold design. Stock ratings are 95hp and 120tq...whoopee. Oh, did I mention it's mated to a 3-speed automatic? It won't have this crappy setup for much longer though as I plan on upgrading to MPFI and doing a custom turbo setup on top of that.
