Yes, and that model was never sold in the US due to noncompliance
with our emissions regulations.

I am confident that the above statement is incorrect. If any
5-speed 2002s made it into the US, I would wager it was through
"grey market" channels. Emissions-legality was an issue here as
well: the cost of certification would have been substantial, and
for for relatively few potential sales.

Even if it is, you'll need to find documentation - factory sales
brocures for US models, factory shop manual for US models, etc. -
that 5-speed 2002s were available in the US in order to be
protest-proof in Street Preapred.
