It is this engine, that mine has (minus the yellow bar between the struts )

Car started to sputter on full load, solved by buying a New set of NGK sparkplugs for a combined price of around 20 US dollars. The DENSO plugs in my Celica costed 60 dollars

(although the Celica's plugs are supposed to last about as long as the Cam belt, 100,000kms opposed to Vaz's 60,000km belt interval. The plugs last only 30,000).

Driven it for about 1200miles now without any major problems, not bad for a car that had a price of 270Euros and is of a very cheap quality

I am planning on some aero mods, grille block could be easily achieved. A vacuum gauge is waiting for inspiration, even if i've planned to buy a OBD tester/Scangauge.

My current economical situation does not give me a chance, yet :/ Soon i have to look into smuggling tobacco products from sweden :lol:
