Description
Power is provided by a Ford Zetec 2. 0-liter inline-four mated to a Ford MT75 five-speed manual transmission and a 3. 64:1 rear end with a limited-slip differential. Additional modifications applied during the Spydercars conversion include tubular control arms with adjustable springs and dampers, wheel hubs with ball joints replacing the factory trunnions, and 15? Minilite wheels over 10? disc brakes. The body was refurbished in red and the interior was reupholstered in beige leather prior to being fitted to the Spydercars Spaceframe chassis. The fiberglass body was reportedly refurbished and repainted prior to its installation on the Spydercars chassis. Minilite 15? wheels are wrapped in 195/55 Pirelli Cinturato Strada tires that sit over 10? disc brakes all around. The interior was reupholstered during the conversion in beige leather with matching door panels, carpeting, headliner, and dashboard padding. Amenities include an aftermarket stereo and speakers, power windows, and a cutoff switch located in the carpeted trunk. A leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a woodgrain dashboard with Smiths instrumentation including a 140-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and six center-mounted auxiliary gauges.
