But does anyone here recognize this car?

Apparently it has been de-modified some since that video, but I'm curious if anyone may possibly know how much it has been de-modified.

Totally off topic, I do not know the car but do I know those Giovanna wheels it is sporting because I have the same ones.

Nice looking car...I'm digging the brown interior with black exterior combo.

I did end up purchasing it after talking to Evolution. Just over 24 hours into ownership, and I'm still grinning ear to ear.

Not sure why the camera was moved away like that but it's on a 1.3 bar tune now.

They are a joy to drive so I don't blame you!! Is the parking at work an issue or some other reason you don't want to drive it to work once in a while.

I park right outside of my boss' window. I don't want him thinking he gave me too big of a raise.
The car is a bit (quite a bit) over-clutched. I haven't yet found that sweet spot between too much throttle and stalling. With today being the first day of back to school for lots of kids, I didn't want to add to the traffic delays.

Lol, I hear you...these cars look like a million bucks so makes sense.

I'm sure all the kids in your area were happy you didn't delay them getting to school!!!

Drove my new (used) 2003 Turbo to work. Some days (weeks?) after I bought it was talking to one of the co-owners of the business and the subject got on cars and he thought my Turbo was a new Nissan.
