Yeah, I'd obviously want the lean burn working. :P Actually a little paranoid now that you say that because while he did specifically say it has the d16y5 (hx engine) he didn't mention anything about the mpg it gets which you'd think he would with gas prices shooting up.

He has replaced the stock exhaust. That could actually disable lean burn somehow? Seems more like it would just make it likely to fail emission standards.

As far as being modded, it's got a handful of mods on it right now but I can hardly see it being used as a street racer with a d16y5 engine in it. My impression was that he was just doing stuff to it to make it seem cool. (Smoked headlights and such)

Edit:
Although he did put strut supports and a rear tie support. That does suggest he wanted to drive it more like a race car. :/
