Hi there Vinnie and welcome quick check , open the bonnet and
while standing at the front of the car look to the right of the radiator
if there a large pipe going into another small radiator which is the
intercooler then its a 110 as the 90 doesn't have one of these .

Greetings I'm not sure about your engine number there, if you're still not sure post or pm me the chassis number. They all start with VF38...

Does it drive in 3rd or just make the grating noise?

[vinniet]

must say its goes really well for only 90 hp
