Yes..it's just an S5 upper that has had all the ridges ground off.


The sell is ill informed... claiming a JDM intake manifold. All JDM engines are turbo, therefor a completely different intake setup.

i knew this would end badly when i saw the 5 color paint in the first picture.

getting tired of seeing the cars trashed to ****, ignorant or lying owners, promoting the bad reputation of the engine.

Just a little update thought it was hilarious

I acutallly had read several of this guy's cl's ads and he said he had some spare parts.
Hoping he had a S5 front bumper i gave him a call and by god he did!

So me and my buddy drive around thorton looking for this excuse of a seven. we finally come across it. And let me tell you it is the essence of jdm tyte yo.

Stickers out the wazzoo and you name it.

Guy comes out and gives me my black s5 front bumper and he wants to check out my seven.
Nothing outrageous (GTUs, ac gone, hks intake, full exhaust, pinapple racing sleeves, injex springs, koyo, taurus fan etc etc)

He comes over and blows his wad.
Aw sick this and sick that.

Now im really interested to see what hes got under his hood
I should mention in another one of his series of cls posts his car has 300hp and pulls on subies all day long.

So we go pop his hood and the engine looks bone stock...
I look at my friend and go uh...
And he goes on to tell me its been rebuilt, street ported, his "jdm intake manifold" and that he smokes cummins.

At this point i feel sorry for the kid and just say i have to go and shake his hand and leave.
I get in my car and shoot a fireball at him as i drive out of the complex.

And this little piggy and his friend laughed alllll the waaay home.

Oh and ps..
I hit a huge bump on i-25 and the weld from my muffler to my straight pipe broke and i had to deal with old ladies giving me the finger..Man what a night
