    We had a lad here today who just bought a 1998 Altezza with the 2.0 Yamaha beams engine & 6 speed gearbox, 210bhp as standard he says & he only paid £850 for it !!

    Not sure if you get them turbo'd or not but I was quite surprised at the power of them !!

    Cheers,
    David

    alzetta engine and box is diffrent from is200, its the rs200 you want

    and the celeca GT4 is the earlier version of the beams (3sge) only problem is you need the rs200 gearbox to use them rwd (was looking at these as a cheaper alternative, iirc like 180/190 bhp and there 200-300 quid)
