it's a rx7, bottom penetration goes hand in hand just like it would with a skyline and a supra! but there really is no difference for this car between import and uk spec!

check out Jap village, a good friend of mine has just brought one with lots of toys on and puching out around 450 BHP, its cost a lot of money but he dont need to do much to it.
Jap village always rebuild the engine before sending out to UK customers.
