If it was originally a G200Z then it won't be a genuine "Handling by lotus" car will it? Or are these just parts that have come with it or been fitted?

Been looking at different throttle bodies, forgot to show ya the ones bob bought - factory fitted to 16V alfa's and made by dellorto, 42mm butterfly but the flanges need cutting and fucking around. GSXR Suzuki bike ones are good apparently and their 43mm. Nick- If you want throttle bodies just use ...

Wow 100PS per litre? Thats impressive. The road going g161w surely wouldn't have made anywhere near that..

Oh sorry, yeah thats what I was meaning but it kind of came out wrong. I was implying that the over-head cam version came about first and then the twincam was a natural progression but thats not necersarily true. Either way they are good strong engines and have been about for years so they must last...

G200Z is the designation for SOHC (single overhead cam) and G200W is the designation for DOHC/twincam. I think your engine will infact be a G200Z, although the casting on the block will just say G200. The G***Z engines spawned from early G series engines which were infact push rod, ie they didn't ha...

My piazza was in a car chase, though I didn't video it sorry. So went to sleep last night and was having phat nap times in the middle of the night, snoozing away when I hear my Piazza start up. Its a one of a kind sounding car so I jump up and look out the window to see it driving away down the driv...

Thanks for that guys. Yeah I do actually prefer those later model lights, but as Alex says they are much of a muchness I guess. I think I'll just keep an eye out lazily and see if anything comes up. Perhaps I'll just darken the originals or something and see if that looks any better. Probably worse ...

Isuzu Piazza tail lights

Hi guys. Was just wondering if there were variations of the tail lights out there. One of mine has a bit of a crack but more to the point, I just don't really like them. If there are others, can you guys post up some pics? I've never seen any on nz roads and I'm not likely to import some but just as...

Just thought you might want to know, I had the pleasure of observing 2 of these beautiful cars a month ago when I purchased my piazza from a chap in katikati. One was the arly model with a carburetted twincam while one was the later, like yours with an injected twincam. I think they were 1800 and 20...
