Looks like the car has already been modified. The intake looks pretty cool,and costly too.
Is that real carbon fibre? What type of filters are inside? |

Sorry, I don't have any explanation for the ///M badge on the engine cover
Gruppe M = expensive, very expensive. Costs around AUD $3000 new. SEV - Japanese company, including manufacture of automotive components SEV-AL - used on dampers and brake calipers https://translate.google.com/transla...ch&pto=aue Sounds a bit gimmicky to me. |

I guess the Japanese stuff makes sense considering the car was imported from there. but I agree it sounds gimmiky, a little like adding an m badge adding 5hp |

It's pretty sad that the previous owner spent big $$$ on the intake yet retained the factory diverter pipes. Either way, it was a good score on your part.
