Just picked this sweet ride up. I've wanted one for a long time, and I found this 250 miles away for cheap. Drove home at ~75-95mph the entire way with no issues. 1.8 8V and what feels like a short ratio 5-speed, definitely non-overdrive and the rpm drop gear-to-gear is almost nothing. It's very fun to drive, loves to rev quickly and stay up top, it really comes alive around 4100. Handles pretty great, feels way faster than it is and it's very light on it's feet with only 90hp.
All great things must have their faults though. The paint is oxidized like a **** but I can definitely work with it. The Bosch K-Jetronic Mechanical injection needs a little attention, the belt drive setup is pretty wonky, and the speedometer is wildly optimistic. Should be a fun little project/daily driver
