    My $1,200 Vert got a Castro Motorsports Upgrade!!

    So it started as a $1,200 Auto vert with a M20.

    Then it became a stick shift for a while and added a 4.10 lsd

    Now we dumped the m20 drivetrain and added:


    Castro Rebuilt S50
    Castro Airbox
    New Cats
    New Custom Exhaust
    Castro Tune
    3.25 Lsd
    ZF trans
    New Control arms and lolipops
    and more....

    Bar ready!!


    Million Thanks to Chris Castro and Crew @ Castro Motorsports!!

    More info please!

    Looks awesome. Castro seems to do the swaps right - no tacky nonsense like you see over on the Least Coast.

        Looks very clean! Castro's does excellent work

        Edit: Is that the motor from the e30 that got totaled?

                I like where this is going! But really? 1,200 for a mt2 or is that added on like the current work? Only thing I think it needs is e90 drop hats.
