This is what $500 can get you :)

Got the car back from DriftMotion last night.
Sorry for the bad quality pics but the sun was out and shining bright and I didnt want to wait until late afternoon to share pics.

Car purchased for = $500
DriftMotion 1JZ swap = $Sold My Soul to the Devil

Havent even spent 1 second cleaning anything up yet. DriftMotion cleaned up the engine bay very well! It was pretty damn dirty after sitting for years. I'll be detailing the interior and make the engine shiny over the next few weeks! Enjoy.

Thanks to Aaron and Jose over at www.driftmotion.com for the excellent customer service and friendly atmosphere. They are HIGHLY recommended and a great team to work with!

What intercooler is that? That looks like what I need to order for my 1jayz swap. They did an excellent job on your swap. I think it's dead sexy..............:love:

What exactly costed $500?

The car? Or the motor swap?

 

[HIDPLANET]

lol Could be taken that way, but the car is something you can get with $500, just without the swap.

 

[lilazni3uoy]

wow very clean HEY i recongnize that black ford !!!

 

[bigaaron]

That is the new IC we will be using for the 1jz swaps. It fits great! Tucks up nice and routing of the piping is not much longer then stock.





Thanks to HID Planet for the business and the nice review!
Congrats on finding the best deal possible on that mk3, I wish my own car was in that good of condition to begin with!


I have a few more pics too, the mk4 motor mounts, BAC motor mount bracket mod, Tanabe exhaust and Driftmotion test pipe (test pipe only installed at the track :icon_wink).

Driftmotion does it again! You guys do know that you can have a car shipped via truck across the country for less than a grand. Just saying.

Les than a grand? MOre like $400 if you find the right carrier at the right time. If there is a truck already making the trip, and has room for a vehicle, they will without a doubt do it for very cheap.

Thanks for the additional pic Aaron, didnt know you had pics of the downpipe and exhaust.

 

[roadwarrior87]

Looking good HID!!!!

 

[HIDPLANET]

BTW, forgot to mention, did anyone catch the beads on Aaron's welds on the test pipe? Talk about rock solid and professional!
