Craig,
It is an Iron block your right,
I brought up this question about a month ago, Dont worry they are not as
fast as Mx5's I would have a hard time saying they are as fast as my 1.9
(weight distribution)and the handling pales in compairson
it is a BS car all the way.
I know trust me some people say it will be caught under the Z3 6cyl
catch all of AS I don't think it should
