Haha yeah the filter i zip tied on for the time being, i didnt want to buy a legit one since i was going to go through with the swap pretty soon. The Trunk did have some rust where the spare tire was, so i sanded it down and repainted everything with rustolium spraypaint and then clear coated. I also removed the sound deadening rubber mat material stuff from the floor of the trunk, trying to lighten the car up as much as possible. it seams like it has stoped the rust, only time will tell :)

So i took a trip up to Drift Motion today to go check out my car, i forgot my good camera i only had my crapy phone camera. But anyways the 7M is out, Aaron and his team cleaned the engine bay, and got the Aristo 2JZ prepped with new oil pan, 1jz bell housing, new front main seal, new rear main seal, new cam seals, new spark plugs, Action stage 3 clutch (6 puck), Ver. II pulley kit (not installed yet), new Marlin Crawler shifter bushing, changed all my fluids out on the motor and transmission basically the full 60k service and then some. While i was there Aaron explained to me what he would be doing over the next week, i was also surprised to see that he had taken pictures for me of the old 7M coming out of the car. He happily answered all my unnecessary stupid questions and hooked me up with a free DM T-shirt before i left to drive home. I am completely stoked, and his work looked solid! heres some crappy pictures to boot,

Aaron's work is top notch. That is the reason I buy everything I need from him if he has it in stock.

He told me about the HKS cams compared to the BC, and when looking at the BC cams compared to the HKS cams in person, they are 100% Superior. He recommended the best part even if it cost more, but the saying is, "You get what you pay for."

You are going to get what you pay for from Aaron because unlike a lot of other places, he answers all questions and gives good customer service.

So how much of a difference will i feel compared to my old motor? I am assuming that it will have a different power band because of the twins, but like how much faster compared to my old motor?

Parts aaron gave me for free:

I gave aaron my old 7m, i think he gave me a small discount off the overall price. Wich was nice of him considering it had a blown head gasket, it had been rebuilt once already, and it had 170k
