Both altezza engines have Beams on the top mate, one says beams 2000 on the airbox, and the 4 cylinder has it on the top of the rocker cover?
Here you go mate,
4 Cylinder Beams,(this one has a turbo fitted)
6 Cylinder Beams2000
Yeah keep an eye out for people selling Altezzas with the wrong description, as Bandit says !
The "Beams" thing is confusing. What people normally mean by the Beams motor is the 4-cylinder 3S-GE engine, that's the Celica/MR2 engine that you mention, yes. The problem is that there's also the AS200 model that Bandit mention, with the same engine as the IS200, and on this model it says "Beams" on the engine cover, and that confuses a lot of people !
If you can see a pic of the engine bay then you can tell for sure, the 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder bays look very different (e.g. intake manifold is on the driver's side on the 4-cyl but on the passenger side on the 6-cyl).
Doh ! Missed the second page with Chris's pic ! :laugh:
Welcome mate. Have you tried Pistonheads? Not sure what budget you are into but I found a few in there. Here's one example, don't know if you fancy yellow?
