What did you see that looked D-jet? I didn't see anything that looked 
right, to me. No pressure sensor, L-jet style injectors, L-jet type 
air-flow metering, etc. The variable fuel pressure regulator was also 
an L-jet feature.

I agree that they seemed like really neat cars. Too bad they weren't 
as successful as the Miata. I like the mid engine concept, like the 
914s, but I suspect Toyota did it better.
