Very nice. What size motor is that? Very different from what we have here. Almost looks like you have two belt driven cams???? Or is the intake cam driven by a chain like ours?

Nice! Ive never seen a black and purple combo before. Very unique for sure! smile.gif
Also, did that intake manifold come on your car or is it a different one? Looks like its almost plastic.

Looks like the 1.6l Alpha, and yeah that's a plastic IM. Much of the world gets plastic IM's, especially the Australian and European market cars.
The 1.6l also drives the intake cam with a chain at the rear.
Car looks great, like the color scheme even though I don't care for painted interiors.

I believe he said in his intro thread that it was a 1.6L
I kept looking at it thinking, "The oil cap is in the wrong place" thinking it was a Beta 2 cover. scratchhead.gif
