yep, then 405.

1990 is my fav, its the lightest. But 1991s get head gaskets, and the steel blue is by far my favorite color.

Yamaha is also involved in the Ford 500. AND they built the engine that Toyota used in the Celica, which is the same 1.8 that's in the Elise . . . roughly.

They were consultants on that motor, not suppliers. Also, the Elise engine is the same except for minor changes and a Lotus ECU.
