Since I can't find any info, I'm just guessing.  Honda?

[Carnut]

motorcycle engine?

(sorry if this is locked, in a hurry)

No, not a motorcycle engine.
I haven't locked this for anyone!

I didn't mean a Honda motorcycle motor, I meant something like an S2000 motor.

Holden engine?

Sorry, I didn't spot your further question before I answered last time.
Yes, it has a Honda engine
But not from an S2000..

This time I'll lock it for you since you've now got most of the answers.

Holden engine?

No - see above - have locked it for RayTheRat now.  Sorry.

Aha.  Then the logical choice would be a K-series (otherwise known as a VTEC) 1998 cc 4-banger.

Yes - it's the VTEC.  In 2.2 litre form actually, from a Prelude, but I think we've got there!

Whew!  That one was like trying to find a black cat in a coal mine at midnite!  I'd sure like to see it run, tho.

Do you have a source of information about the car?  There are lots of pictures of the outside of the car, but nothing about the mechanics or interior.

I ran into the same thing.  Lots of photos, almost zero tech info.  I was only searching the web with no magazines or other hard copy.

Not at the moment no, sorry.
I've deleted the source already and haven't been able to find it again yet..!
