Powered by a 2.3-liter 16-valve inline-four coupled with a Getrag dogleg 5-speed manual, the car is also equipped with a limited-slip differential. It was serviced in February 2017 with a new fuel pump, alternator, spark plugs, and fluid change. Records for maintenance from the previous owners are included along with importation documents, original owner\'s manuals, and stamped service logbook.\r\n\r\nThe car was painted in the current scheme after the Evo II style body kit was installed. The previous owner in Europe drove the car to shows at the Le Castellet and Nogaro race tracks, as well as other local shows. The car features Mercedes Benz Evo II front and rear brake calipers, and new brake pads have been installed all around. Original Carlsson alloy wheels wear newer Nankang Sport NS-1 tires. Inside, the cabin is equipped with factory Recaro bucket seats along with a Carlsson steering wheel and shift knob. The odometer reads 109,037 kilometers 67,752 miles and is said to be accurate based upon records. An aftermarket Alpine cassette radio has been added, as is a fire extinguisher. \r\n\r\nThe 2.3-liter 16-valve inline-four was developed by Cosworth, and European versions produced 185 hp when new. The original books include the owner\'s manual and a maintenance booklet with stamps from service while in Europe. The receipt for the muffler, service records from the seller, and all customs and importation paperwork also come with the car.
