Engine and Transmission

This is definitely the most powerful GTV 2000 engine we've experienced.

The engine starts easily, holds a steady idle and accelerates smoothly with excellent power. Exhaust sound is also excellent with a new exhaust installed. Not too loud and not too quiet, just right. There is no smoking on startup or during hard acceleration. The correct SPICA fuel injection system is still present with a Wes Ingram SPICA pump installed. The correct exhaust system is installed and is in excellent condition.
