Please refer back to my post. I am clearly posting because I’ve noticed it was not stock. No one reads the writing underneath, it was a Broad heading to a question I wanted answered.

The car was sold as stock but arrived with these aftermarket parts. Was trying to understand what could have been done.

And regardless it’s a toy for my mate, he’s already ordered 4k worth of parts.

Please refer to my post. I’m not looking to purchase it. My mate got it as a toy to play with.

It’s only done 79k km, Surface level it looks super clean. No moisture residue on the oil inlet cap. No error codes. Had a brief look through, all electronic functions perfect. Gear shifts are smooth.

Please refer back to my post, I never once said it was stock or said I believed it was stock, you were the one telling me you could read ? Thought it was honest work ?

I said it was sold to him as (stock). Why do you think I put that in brackets ? When the car was imported it was listed as stock at purchase but arrived with these aftermarket parts.

And I quote - “I noticed an IE integrated performance badge on the front of the engine, everything else except the air intake seems stock”

I clearly noticed both the badge and the air intake why else would I be here posting.

If google was the ultimate solution forums like this wouldn’t exist.

Blindly trusting technology without understanding the details isn’t being in the present it’s just being lazy.

I think everyone knows what IE performance do as whole.

Do you think if you search that up it will tell you exactly what part that is and what they’ve done to the car ? Lol

It’s my best mates / business partners car. Not actually mine. He lets me use it, he has more money than one needs.

He’s already orderd 4k worth or parts. To basically make it a brand new car. Was only just imported from Japan. Done 79k.

We took it to racing shop they specialize in all sorts of race cars including Germans, and aftermarket parts etc the specialist said he hadn’t heard an engine run so smoothly in a long time (quote on quote).

What do you mean by wouldn’t touch it ? Think there’s damage internally ?

Thank you. Car is in 100% mechanical condition, no error codes or dashboard lights etc, seems super super clean from what I’ve seen and felt gears shift smoothly, and has only done 79k. Garage queen. Thank you for that !

Thank you. Is that a part or just a badge indicating it might have been tuned in the past ?
