Yip - RalliArt sold the FTO offically in the UK for a couple of years - 99-01 I think. Cost around 23.5K GBP which was very expensive - thats 350Z money.

His claim of 224bhp is very wide of the mark however - these cars were still quoted as 197bhp. And its a tip to boot so less of this power will reach the wheels.

I'm fairly sure they sold both versions of the GPX - it also has the typical UK spec - no fog lights in the front spoiler though it doesn't have the HKS exhaust which I thought came standard on the UK spec Ralliart cars. :?

Its all the same in any case - whether you imported it yourself from Japan or Ralliart imported the car - its basically the same spec - there is no real advantage in buying a Ralliart imported FTO except its likely to be newer as it was sold in the UK towards the end of the FTO selling life. Far too late for the FTO (and way too expensive) to make any impact on the UK market.
