I think you should check this thread out if you're serious about the swap.

If that's the case, why not just trade your base in on a used Type-S. It will be A LOT cheaper that way. A swap is going to be incredibly expensive.

 

Car already paid off. Dont want to make anymore payment.

 

But, I really think a swap is going to be much more expensive.

 

Saw this hotness this am:

 

^^^I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess - someone REALLY likes the 22 Shell car.

 

its actually also funny as hell in reverse

 

Doing my 3.2 to 3.5 next week

 

Best of luck to you, good sir.

 

Good luck. What's the cost?

 

BALLERRRRRRRRRR.....lol...

 

I will find out next week when i get my part and estimate.

 

Any new updates on the swap?

 

Got a estimate Between 5-10k. If I end up get my car painted.

 

"doing" the swap and getting a half assed estimate are 2 different things.

 

I saw this awhile ago when I was looking for a Type S.














keep scrolling down

 

I need a estimate b4 doing the swap ass.

 

lol.. at least I didn't see that he spelled out the ACURA on his rear windshield. I saw a corolla the other day.. he spelled out "Corola" on the back of car..

 

^^um...if that's a type-s then where are the quad tail pipes?? i know they don't tuck under the lip THAT much.

just saw a red integra, appeared stock no tint or anything, with an AMG badge where the integra badge was suppose to be. sadly, it wasn't a beat to crap integra nor was it super clean and well kept...

 

EXACTLY!

 

Between $5-10K and you're talking about painting the car? Good grief, just buy a real Type-S! You'll be spending WAY more money than you need to otherwise.

 

lol at him saying "no car payment for the win"
yet, he's gonna finance that $10k.

 

Saw this 3 days ago. Prestige upgrade.

To be clear, I'm not trying to be a hater on your Type S conversion project. But wouldn't you be saving more money by possibly selling your current TL and buying a Type S instead? Assuming that you can sell your car for at least 19k, you can slap on that extra 5-10k you would've spent for the engine swap/ paint job and purchase a Type S.

But out of curiosity...are you going to get your car painted Kinetic Blue Pearl?

 

This.

 

i want to sell my base navi TL for a type s 6mt. i hate that i settled for a base

 

wait, u guys didn't know the our badge come with extra 20 hp???

 

That's all? I thought it was at least 40!

 

i try to be optimistic. when i see a tl with a type s badge, i think "he must have not liked the quad exhaust, taillights, waffle wheels and headlights, and decided to changed them"

 

That's a really great way of looking at it. Kid in our school lot has a V8 Mustang GT with a V10 emblem on the rear. It's even better when he boasts about it and 'revs' his engine after school.

 

^Pics or ban

 

Good grief...maybe I should get myself one of those emblems.

 

thats possible, the last time i took them all off i did 0-60 in 45.93 sec ...

 

hey, wait a GD sec.

 

haha! agreed!

 

im in to see how this progresses !!! i hope he doesnt do the swap

 

its been a few months and my guess is

 

Someone needs to slap him insanely hard. It's one thing to claim your Mustang has a V8 when it's a 6 but really? A V10? what a douche.

 

Completely agree OP. I just kind of roll my eyes when someone does that. Same thing applies to other cars. But from what I've seen at least people on here make it look the part and don't just slap a badge on there and call it a day.

 

These badge swappers must feel real weird when the actual car pulls up to them at a stop light.
