Oic, so seems its not an easy car to drive if the low end torque is so LOW,
I am fine with slick/close gear change i think, been driven manual since i passed my driving test.
But not sure my friend though, huge challenge for him!

Maybe i bought his car at the end...hahahaa...you never know

I don't think so.
Because it had passed the inspection when import.
In HK, all mod are provided to be inspected and approved by the govt...otherwise all are illegal...XDDD
