Stock body wtf...I see a aftermarket rear bumper,or at least a lip, sideskirts, and rear wing? Who makes it? BTW looks like a sport model to me from the interior.

What you guys laughing at...don't you see the hard pipe on the intake manifold and you see the front mount, looks like the charge pipes run on the side ...This is a super sleeper.

From the post "turbo edition" one might think it was turbo from the factory. I saw the intake couplers too, but couldn't make it out. Same for the FMIC, you can see fresh clean ALM., but I couldn't tell if it was the rad. or not. I still think it is a sport model. 5 lug with the manual doors are the give away.

Thats not the wording on the post, but if it was it would make sense. Sport mod with a turbo=win.

Wow, it definately looks like somebody's 6 port turbo project that theyre trying to pass off as a stock turbo setup...

That "stock body" is a stock S4 front bumper with the tall style Kaminari rear wing, rear skirt and side skirts. Now if it had the matching Kaminari front bumper as well and he wasn't asking so much I would be tempted to try and get it

The dust and cobwebs tell me two things

1: He is too lazy to even wash the bay before taking pics.
2: It has been sitting for awhile.

can't comment on the the turbo swap because it has no indication of any Standalone or piggyback, and from what I see right now there is no intercooler.

I saw the wing's arms extending across the sides of the hatch and thought the same thing. No joke a wave of terror came across me and I scrolled down to make sure it wasn't. Thank goodness!!

If anyone does find a Finishline kit for sale on this site or Craigslist, or finds an RX-7 for sale that has one on it on Craigslist, let me know. Chances are most sellers won't realize how rare that kit is and will sell it to me.
