I cant find any diesels for sale here though.

Apparently its based on the Kia Mentor, which is in turn based on the Mazda 323

so there may be plenty scope for engine or gear transplants
once I get another vehicle I'll be messing with this one more. I know that the "Spectra" replaced the "Sephia" here in the states. The older Sephia's which are about the same car. (internals and most the body as well) had the 1.8's some of the newer ones had the 2.0's. I wouldn't mind swapping in a diesel but before I'd even consider it I'd have to do tons of research
