Fuck even a D15 would be better than what it has. The A-series didn't make 80bhp stock, and not even 100bhp with a turbo. It's probably slower than a mild shifter cart in every respect.

I'm a fan of small cars & all, but hell. Take the money you saved with half the steel usage and buy a little bigger motor. :-\

 they can be built to abit more then that but still I would swap it out. ASk the boys about the white 1275 mini at knox mountain, it hauled ass.
