Ok, This is a mates car, he just had it imported from Japan and complianced all for about $14k. It was originally an s4 convertible, then the owner replaced everything s4 with s5 parts. The engine, the tranny, the bonnet, the tail lights, etc. The car was lightened considerably, then given coil-over shocks. It was built for drifting. When it was imported the turbo it came with had to be taken off, cos it was way to big to be street-legal. Now a turbo slightly bigger than stock resides in the engine bay.



I've got pics, it was dark so they aint terribly good and I must apologise for not having any engine pics. I was more interested in going for a drive than taking pics.

Such as a FRONT LICENSE PLATE!!





$50 fine for no license plate IF pulled over OR $$$ in speeding fines. He made his choice and is sticking by it.
