Much props on the build bro...very nice. Gold on white is always sex. Simply clean...you have my stamp of approval..haha :biggrin: Looking forward to seeing whats next!

thanks bro. i appreciate the positive comments

wow, very clean. i like it. cant wait to see it finished

what are you dropped on??

wow, very clean. i like it. cant wait to see it finished

thanks bro. i cant wait till its done myself! lol

what are you dropped on??

baller coilovers...(raceland) lol had to replace my blown strut with something for now.

progress is my plan in a few months.

haha....aint nothing wrong with that except




















needs MOAR LOW....hahaha

looks good like i said in the other thread!

dqlostsoulz (http://www.scionlife.com/profile/dqlostsoulz). yea i know. ill be lowering it more some day next week.

DJ08tC (http://www.scionlife.com/profile/DJ08tC). thanks again bro. btw pm me if you go to the cpt meet . looking forward to meet SL members in MD

:clap:

Super clean tC, can't wait to see this as it goes on. Sick wheels bro.

Nice build and clean tC

thanks Mcancell.

yea man I will pm you if go.

Finally!!! Gold RPF1s!!!!! Brilliant :clap:

jaewrek. thanks bro. your rockin the hell out of those grids too...love the stance. next year ill be hellaflush!

^^ thanks man!
Can't wait to see your stance. Fast and looks good? That's toooo good haha

Very nice and clean!! Love those rpf1's

thanks bro^

That is one of the most cleanest tC I have ever seen. A couple of noob question but do you notice any big noticeable gains with a built block and also are you running with the stock ecu and injectors? I plan on building one as well.

liking the wheels, any chance you have tested those rs3's and or more pics of the tires?

oh and might i suggest the 255/40/17 flavor? thats what i want to run..

nice build...liking it so far, keep it up!

nice

hey thanks bro. honestly theres really no gains from a built low compression motor. all i can say is my motor does feel a lot more responsive and theres a slight deeper tone. my motor is built to handle boost. if i was going all motor i wouldv'e done high compression and wouldve seen some gains. but im in desperate need of boost! lol and as of now im on stock ecu and stock injectors. car runs amazing smooth even with the built block. Ptuning did a great job. ill be going with 900cc injectors and for engine management not sure yet

iv'e tested them in snow...lol not the greatest idea ever.....totally the oposite of the weather there made for. ended up sliding and hitting a curb so hard that i cracked my rpf1 and lip..i had to replace the wheel for a new rpf1. haven't really got a chance to test them yet because of the cold weather. it just now started getting warm here. ill post pics later of the tires. i like the sound of 255's. dont want to go too much over the limit of a 17x8 wheel tho. maybe down the road ill switch my hubs and get something like 17x9 or better to fit wider wheels and a better set of rpf1's with better offset and den slap a 255 or 275....your on 255 rite?

nice build...liking it so far, keep it up!

thanks bro! your car is awesome too

are you going to show your car at the show on May 2nd or are you just going to look?

ouch yeah any snow or cold weather really hates these type of tires.

im on 245/45/17 reo1rs at the moment, but my next set will be a 255/40/17. the sidewalls on mine are huge, and when running a 35 offset, its a tight fit. the 255 would fit better, and it would have an aggressive bulge to it, cause a 245 is pretty square on the 8 inch wheel.

Very nice build and I'll definitely be stopping by to keep track of progress.

thanks for sharing the great pix.

yea bro nice meeting you too. your car looks even nicer in person too. especially with the nice drop. hows the suspension feel?

Thanks man.
The drop is smooth. No where near as bad as I thought.
On the way home the coils settled alittle more.
I got tons of pics in.....

check it out. I would suggest them.

Any way. Pics of your exhaust.
How do you like the sound.

nice build. So ptuning built you a full turn key motor? man i wish i was local to them

Very clean, even cleaner in person..

Nice seeing you down there at Ptuning, how you enjoying the new goodies?

[quote=Ace83;3517946]nice build. So ptuning built you a full turn key motor? man i wish i was local to them[/quote

yea i purchased the block from them and had them build the motor too. and i really cant be any happier with all the good work they have done with my car and all the advise Mr. C has given me. yea im lucky to be only about 45 min away from them. but even if i was 10 hours away i would still go directly to Ptuning...lol

Very clean, even cleaner in person..

Nice seeing you down there at Ptuning, how you enjoying the new goodies?

yea nice seein you too bro. its nice to meet some SL members in person outside the forums...car sounds so awesome now. im lovin it!

when are you boostin it? i think mospeed is letting his kit ptuning kit go farily cheap. it looks like its been through a fire, but should be able to get it purdy again.

in a few months^ yea i would buy moe's kit but rite now im savin for my twin disc and some other goodies.

Well, seeing how I live in G-berg, MD, I guess the gold RPF's on my white 2010 tC is out the window now. At least I can see how it looks. Very clean!

Where do you live? I'm in montgomery village at the end of Montgomery village Ave. I work on NIH. Gotta link up some time. I would really like to take a spin in your car to see how the racelands feel. I am planning to order springs at the end of the week but am just curious about the horror stories I have heard about the RL's. I have read the threads and I think I would simply prefer to put springs on for now and save my money for a nice set of co's down the road. Want to focus on handling.

Boost away! If you need help with installs give me a call. I have some tools and a little bit of know how. No mechanic mind you but I have built up a couple of Subies before.

^^ i used to live in MV a while back. now i live near Gaithersburg High. we should plan a small meet and gather up some people and chill and go eat somwhere. i was thinking somewhere near the frederick area tho. i think theres more tc's that are on SL around there too plus the golden coral buffet is there and it may be closer for Gameover and 08 Scion TC too since there from PA if they want to come.

as for RL's they ride fine with me. i had a blown strut that needed to be replaced so i went with them since it was a unexpected expense that i wanted to take care of. but ill be going with progress coilovers down the road

That's cool. I would be down for that. It would almost have to be a Fri/Sat for me though as my schedule is quite hectic with my daughter playing travel soccer and what not.

I almost drove out to PTuning today but decided to go ahead and come into the office. I figure I need to wait for the money to hit the bank instead of using my credit card to get my springs. I am dieing to drop this thing though. It looks like a damn Jeep right now imo.

friday after 5 is okay with me and im off this sat! ill try gathering people up and let you know. ill pm you

I may be up in Bmore all day Friday. I am off and my wife wants to go visit her family (oh joy!) but I should be home on Sat/evening.

Great, I will be the only noob out there with a frickn stock tC! That sucks!

Now I might have to go out to Ptuning tomorrow to get some springs and pull an all nighter so I can have them on there before a get together. My wife is going to freak when she sees me tweaking on another brand new car!

just a fyi.. cecil county drag way friday night.. be there!!!!!!!!

Don't think I will make it. Apparently, I am going to Bmore as of today. Wife wants to see her family since we are all off (me off, kids on spring break). I will be back Fri night I believe but hell, I don't know what the plan is. I am hoping to be avail on Sat if anything is going down.

just a fyi.. cecil county drag way friday night.. be there!!!!!!!!

what time are you guys going?

i want to go...but dont really want to drive that far...im tryna get some tc's together for a small meet this saturday here in MD tho....maybe food and then just chill

looks awesome so far man... i approve... just needs more low and your good to go...

question... your wheels are 17x8 @ +45 ... are you using a spacer?? because for a +45 they are pretty close to being flush with the fender for a +45... it looks like a +35 set up

tcpete....no spacers as of now bro....however i am planning on lowering the rears alot more and adding 10mm spacers in a few days..and yea i always thought the front was kinda flush for 45et also..

well even the rear is not so bad either actually... i guess a 10 mm wont look but IMO i think its pretty dam good so far. im guessing since its a 8" wide its helping

Looks fantastic! You do look more flush than I? My RPF1s are same size but +35. I'm guessing its because you a little lower than my s-techs. Hmm..

But looks great, man. Thumbs way up.

Go with 245's all around. Maybe some spacers, I would go with a trackable tC rather than a low (hellaflush one). Since you're boosting on a built motor.

nice really clean good job on the car!...keep it up..block looks sick lol...cant wait to see everthing all done!

^^hey thanks bro

love it

lol...ummm...ill go with #3 flush

You going boosted soon? How much power you lookin to make?

^^my plans are to go with a ptuning kit but with bigger turbo like a 35r....aiming at 450-500whp on 93 pump gas...and ill be getting a fully built head too down the road...right now im in saving mode for fuel return system and a bunch of other crap

nice, will this be your daily driver?

nope....thats why its actually taken me a while to get boosted...im currently saving for parts and a dd as well. i want to make my tc a actual straight race car/weekend car just to play with and enjoy the toy. i wanna go all out and gutt everything out...add roll cage...and ect..takes time and money tho

takes time and money tho

haha I know what you mean.

hey its your ride... lol

So that's your ride at the college tuning meet. I was like who the hell is rocking a Ptuning exhaust on a NA motor lol. :icon_biggrin:

ita a built na motor! dont forget the "built" part! lol yea thats my bucket bro

Did the built motor give you any more power over being stock.

^^no if anything i most likely lost power because of the low compression pistons. the motor however feels a lot more responsive. i honestly cant tell if it got slower. it actually feels quicker to me but that wouldnt make sence i guess..lol

i dnt get it lol

i dnt get it lol

my motor is built for boost. which has lower compression pistons than stock. which means i should loose power. however my stock motor (before the build) was strange i guess you can say. my stock motor was faster then 4 other tc's that i raced which all had bolt ons that i beat when i was completely stock....after a while my motor started knocking(i was beating on it too hard)...after building the motor now it feels faster to me...lol idk tho

maybe its faster to me now since my motor was already in bad shape to begin with before the build so after building it and getting it fixed it runs in good shape even tho its a built NA for now

^^^ I still cant believe they wouldnt warranty the motor man. Im also looking for another car but not for me itll be for the wifey after that ill start saving up for my kit as well.

^yea i want my gf to get a xb..lol

Ok, so it has been about 4 months since your last post on this thread and at least that long since I saw you at our little Chipotle meet in the Kentlands. Does this thing have FI yet or what?

PS. Sorry for dropping off the planet man but had to get some things worked out with the wife and pretty much dropped out of everything for a while. All is good now though.

its not boosted yet but hopefully it will be soon......


PS: 1989menace is a ricer:rofl::crazy:

Well, it costs money to do that crap so I can understand that. Hell, I have done nothing new to my car other than put gas in it!

That's the first time I've seen the internals of the 2AZ.

yeah your right man, this hobby is a money pit.

yep not boosted yet. plans are on hold til 2011 summer...boost/built head/roll cage....i need to get a daily reliable car before boosting just in case somthing goes wrong so i can still be able to pick up my son and go to work. im in no rush..... me and nino (pupusatuning) will have both are cars ready for 2011 summer hopefully...thats if we stop being fat and eating out all the time...lol

my car will be up and running in may, i think my brother saw your car at MIR a couple weeks ago. how far are you from ocean city?

yes i was at MIR. im about 3 hours away from OC bro

6 new pics! pg1

cars lookin good, i cant wait to get pics of my block once its done at the machine shop, we are using pretty much the same internals except ive already got my built head and cams...

can't go wrong with gold wheels on SW. amazing car.

built short block is sick! I'm jealous. :)

looking good.

brides and your sick nt03m's..IM JEALOUS..lol

hey pete there hankook rs3's 235/45/17. there nearly bald tho maybe thats why they look thinner

hows the rubbing? we have almost the same specs i think. im hating my 235 kumho.. the side wall is super soft and my car has lost some of this responsiveness. i think the flexing on the side wall has killed it. i coulda sworn yours were 225 when we talked a while back. i guess ill be going back to 225 452 falkens.

car is looking great though man!

built head? u lucky whore...lol what size turbo are you gonna use?

yep built head, pretty much every thing done minus port n polish. but im goin with the alpha series manifold, and gt3076r hybrid with the tial housing. i dont feel the need for the 35r, tho paul almost had me talked into it.

rubbing is horrible on turns...i need thinner walls....the sidewalls are really soft on mine too....i had 225's when i first got the wheels and they looked too sunk in... now im on 235/45's...im thinking of getting 235/40 or 245/40/ my goal is making it look more agressive by getting wider tires and going lower. i plan on doing some fender work to get it done since im already rubbing as it is on turns.

and thanks bro. your car is sick too..hows that motor running?

good choice....gt30's and gt35's are about the same price tho....im afraid that im gonna want more power if i get a gt30 and spending anouther 1300 on a turbo upgrade is crazy. but i have been thinking about a gt30 too....and the alpha series manifold is so sick...pm me how much you got the manifold for. i may want one...i dont think ptuning would sell me just there manifold

and thanks bro. your car is sick too..hows that motor running?

NA is still running great. my only issue is that i burn oil alot every 3k miles... i have no leaks no smoke.. nothing. i use mobil 1 10w30 and every 1500 miles i gotta dump a quart or quart and a half in it FTL. i think its because i do about 45 miles of highway driving a day to and from work and im usually cruising at about 70-80 mph the whole time. lol so the oil is probably just breaking down and burning up quickly for that reason. seriously i have NO leaks the engine bay is spotless.

go figure..

i know what your saying with tire sizes. the 235 on the 8" wide with +38 offset is tucking for me just enough with the added camber i have up front but i scrap like a mofo for being so low. i think the 225/45 will be just enough to cheat the height drop and sidewalls. ive already noticed where on the tire it rubs so (on the sidewall) so really a 225 should solve all my problems :love:

o shi! i have the same exact issue except im using castrol gtx 10w 30...my motor burns oil too....and everything is perfect...no leaks...smoke or anything. i think your rite. its the constant highway driving and your probably pushing the beast a lot too...lol im never below 75mph when driving to work 25 miles 5 days a week. so i know why my motor is loosing oil. regardless i check it every two days just to stay on the safe side.

i will def let you kno how much but im buying the whole setup so that the only thing i have to fab is the exhaust and the ic piping, ive decided since my pops has a welder im gonna learn how to weld and then do that stuff on my own. and only if i showed you guys what my engine looks like after my builders tore it down, i changed my oil just before my 1600 mile trip from oklahoma to delaware, when i got home i should of checked my oil again so its partially my fault but anyways i spun all 4 main bearings, one of the bearings had to be pried apart.

wow bro! that sucks! my motor started knocking real bad which got me to build the pos....when we opened the motor it was dry on oil...2 weeks before the oil was perfect..but o well...i learned my lesson to check the oil more often...ive been really looking into the alpha series set up from dezod...and im leaning towards it too...there manifold is sick.

yea man i was gonna go with the descendant kit at first then i changed my mind again to the descendant manifold and get a garret turbo with a tial housing then i found out the flange is the wrong size so i said eff it and now i will be orderin my dezod ish as soon as i find out for sure how much labor is gonna cost for my block.

dennis any updates man???

Last time I talked to him he had bought a 240sx and was gonna build that he said he wanted a better platform
