looks good in black (y)


And usuall FWD problem, loads of revs and its not going anywhere, are they using the same 1.6l again? Or have they built a whole new one? It sounds very very similar to the mk2 super 1600 cars.

ah just read the blurb, appears its a new 2007 season car, where by they are only allowed a 2.0l N/A engine, 4wd and a rev limit of 8k rpm (if there wasn't a rev limit we'd be getting F1 style engines going in there). reckon they are just using the 2.016v from a marea/ NA coupe?

No. The 2.0 16v engine in the coupe has been dead for about 7 years and there never was one in the Marea...
