Anyone recognize this FD from Cali back like 10+ years ago

Rescued out of a garage it sat in for years. My son / I got her back on the road over years. Real adventure and we have made some great memories. Listed her,  time for a new toy if I can get a decent amount or Ill just keep her otherwise but always wondered about her orgin story. She was a Cali car brought to CO. Had ton of 2000s JDM parts most great. Crazy fuel set up with 2 extra injectors before we pulled al that. Owner sold to a military kid and got a Porsche. Had porsche turbo badge on back

Listed her, time for a new toy if I can get a decent amount or Ill just keep her otherwise but always wondered about her orgin story so thought i would ask here if any Cali guys remember this in the early 2000s ish. She was a Cali car brought to Colorado. Had ton of 2000s JDM parts most great some not. Crazy fuel set up with 2 extra injectors at the intake elbow before we pulled all that. Owner sold to a military kid who and that owner got a Porsche (found the porsche paper work for emissions mixed with this one when it sold. This car even had a porsche turbo badge on back middle (weird).

Here is the car now.

Thanks, it was the weird headlights that drove me crazy, haha.
I was surpised to find out those old wheels were some early 2000s Sparcos. Sold them for a decent price to a local kid. I wanted a modern take on old school 5 star wheels and Kansai did a great job on this design. I have the car listed here on the forum marketplace for more pics.
