Forgot to mention that, yes it has the stock mani.

So I guess it is a hybrid then. Thanks!

Update finally. I'm home from school so now I have some time to get done what I need to do. So, I installed hood dampers (which really made it feel more modern), got my new temp steering wheel in, and got me some g35 mud guards.

For the mud guards, I wasn't sure if I got the right ones or not but these have some plastic on the inner part and was wondering if anybody else's were like this. I guess I'll just have to go ahead and trim off the extra plastic that's in the way of mounting these up. But they're going to look pretty sweet once they're on.

Pics!

very clean car! But i worry that it isnt a legit S5 T2.. A lot of signs point to yes.. Lip, side skirts, steering wheel... but the seats arent S5 T2, which could have been changed..of course. and its lack of ABS. which all S5 T2s came with. But again, it IS possible to delete it and swap to non-abs. I'd just do a quick VIN check to make absolutely sure.

The Vin should read JM1FC332******.. the 332 is the important part.. if it says 331, its a swapped NA. It probably is an S5 T2.. but those 2 things just had me thinking

Yeah I know the seats aren't T2 but I think it's cool that the headrests are adjustable. Makes it a bit more comfortable. But here's the vin.

Haha thanks vipers. Yeah I was a bit skeptical too when I went to go buy it, but little by little I started seeing all the Turbo II options and stuff so it was good to know that it was legit.

Next on my list, finding a place to do some rust and body repair. There's about a quarter size spot on the pass rear fender, and some on the hatch by where the hatch to glass seal meets at the bottom. Also there are quite a few little dings and one small dent on the door which are really annoying to look at. Hopefully I can get this done this summer and get it repainted during the winter (if you can call it that here in So. Fla.)

Still working on fitting my G35 mud guards cause I need to do a bit of trimming and I want it to be just right. Soon there after, I'll be on the hunt for some wheels. I'm going to be taking a video soon of the car and go through the gears a few times, mainly because rotary. :P
