in the actual dvd description of the car, they claimed that they originally wanted it to be stock, but then needed it to drift some, so they had to turbo it. i think it also claimed the kit was custom? not out of the box greddy?

I thought they had issues getting it to move.

i know they imported quite a few cars from japan to los angeles and maybe that has something to do with them not being able to legaly sell some of the cars here in the states. Probably has to do with various restrictions that the u.s. has on the cars that can legaly drive here, like emisions and what not.
