So What Comes Stock?
The S15 comes with 4cylinder 2 litre turbocharged and intercooled engine putting out around 147kw at the flywheel. This model came with a 6 speed manual transmission, racing pedals, leather front seats and door trims, chrome inner door handles, chrome around the gear shift, ABS, leather steering wheel, cd player, power mirrors, power steering, GT dials, and GT wing with high mounted stop light.
She has been heavily scrutinized by the police, but I don't mind as I have spent a lot of time and effort ensuring she is street legal, and safer and more environmentally friendly than the stock version! My best effort at getting pulled over still stands at three time a week for " random vehicle checks" in sunny Kalgoorlie, and stopped six times between Perth and Kalgoorlie for "random checks" in one trip! I suppose it's not the sort of car you normally expect to see out in the country so I can understand the checks .... and boy are there are some hot cops in Kalgoorlie so that makes it just a little better!
