I'll second that. My father installed a tachometer so he could get his YA to perform. He had taken the engine to Stage II tune, and the car would be at least drivable in Washington DC traffic. He dr

Now, my knowledge of US geography is a little sketchy, but I'm not sure I recognise Flagstaff Arizona as a well-known seaside resort. Norfolk, Va, yes, San Diego, Ca, most definitely, but Arizona - y

The emissions in Japan are indeed as strict as California's, but the safety regs are not nearly so. Cars don't have to have 5 mph bumpers, and I doubt they have to go through the 35 mph crash tests.
