There's only the 1.6 version, and that's the lowest one. I have it... only has 80 HP. It's also known as the grocery getter :P. But I still love it!

Nope, sorry. First of all, the SOHC 1.6L was rated at 88hp. Not 80.

The JDM version of the Mx-3 has a DOHC 1.5L that was pretty robust and put down HP levels fairly close to the 1.8L BP with few mods.

Honestly i wish i had bother the sohc & dohc

I like the interior of the DOHC 1.6 but i hate the front seats. I like the dohc 110 hp but the BPT isnt a plug & play like the SOHC.

YOU can do a seach VAUGN (yoda) has posted some great info on the 1.5l DOHC

Lol, where can I find a new motor... seeming mine is only a 88 hp. But thank you for clarifying that... at least I have 88 over 80 WooT!. But yeah in all seriousness where can I get a better motor. Doesn't a ford probe have the same motor? vigorously correct me if I am wrong please. lol
