Good question..they didn't have the list of mods to it. It may have a 20b 3 rotar engine in it or it may not... But, they reviewed it in a Hot Version video and the reviewer said it was too scarey to drive. Too much power in a FC body..
Here is a pic..

Well I get the moron of the year award! I was trying to charge the battery and looking at it in the dark I kept putting the positive charger terminal on the negative pole of the battery. How can he be soooo stupid you ask? Well the cells have a positive sign plug in front of the negative terminal on the battery.
So far I do not think I fried anything but my brain

For example, on my Evo, they only use Mobile 1 Synthetic, they even stated that on the oil cap, no other brand of oil. That goes the same with all Porches.

The oil pan has needed to be replaced, as I get the oil light at high speeds problem occasionally- I told them last time and they ignored me. No more. The heat shield and the air bags are the recalls they're talking about in Discussions- you'll probabably have to take yours in too.
