my UK brochure (how the heck do you spell that!!)  says 115 for a series 3 also. I think some online sources have been mixed up by the series 3 GSL-SE that had a 13b 6 port in it, but was US only.

You are quite right Mike,
The car did not change in europe power wise on the series 3 from the series 2.
I think that Don is thinking of the second gen RX7 which in naturaly aspirated form developed 148 bhp.
Kind regards
Carl

It cant really be only making 115bhp can it?  XR2i type power?

It seems so quick.

Well I HAVE to buy that turbo now or be shamed by Maxpower novas with tea trays on the back.

Bunch of low powered arse.

yup ... I think an XR2i will give 1st gen a bl00dy good run for its money !

change the exhaust, sort out the carb and ditch all the nasty emmisions and they are just a tad quicker though ;)

They\'ve both got perfomance big bore exhausts and K&Ns.

What can you do about the carb?

This ones about to get an elford kit with a hybrid turbo, that should hold off the maxpower children.
