Mods if you see this, it looks like changing the title of this first post no longer changes the title too. Could one of you please just change the title to just 'Batman's Thread', and I'll leave it alone from there. Thanks!

 

Well I always promised myself I wasn't going to do a picture thread or anything, but I'm always making new threads asking for very specific advice (ie. stickers for HID ballast and a way to cover my battery hahah), so I figured I might as well have a thread to keep all that ish in one spot......

Plus now I have a place to throw up random pics of my car when I acquire them



















thanks for lookin guys, and thanks to every one who has guided and helped me so far in getting my car to where it is

Special thanks in particular to Dezod for building such a great turbo system and for helping to keep it running

I'll be keeping this first post updated

 

<first real post!
;) ditch the stockies! nice start.

 

I really like that red on the waterfall. what's it called?

 

I suppose this is another plus to having a thread as I get pm'ed this question about once every three months haha

Its its actually just Duplicolor Red Metal Specks



Its the same red I used on my engine cover too

 

oh nice hahaha

 

awesome build so far man. Love the clazzios. That sticker on your windshield doesn't block your line of sight? Can't really tell how far out it is in front of you.

 

haha and yeah man I'd love to get some real rims, but theres just other right now that require priory as far as money goes (ie. lack of lip kit)

Just put new tires on my stockies anyway (Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500 in 225/45/17) so I'll be rollin on them for a bit longer

I've been lookin to do wheel spacers to help the look a bit, in fact I just ordered a set of 15mm hubcentric spacers from this seller:
http://stores.ebay.com/OPTION-SELECT...&submit=Search

however I am getting weary about putting them on. Saftey is a huge concern for me and I am not sure how much I should trust these.
dqlostsoulz swears by em, its just I rarely trust eBay products so I am really not sure why I decided I should trust such a potentially dangerous modification to eBay :-/

Like I said in the wheel spacer thread I think I must have had a beer or two when I decided to order em. This the same cause of me thinkin a red tow hook was a good idea....





feel free to flame the tow hook , but if anyone has input on my wheel spacer dilemma I'd appreciate it

 

I know you want some limited edition black RPF1s to set that off! :-)

 

NICE BRO! IM really Feelin it. Simple and Clean Like everyone else has said so far,wheels should be next

 

love it. just like scotty said, simple and clean. my waterfall was metal specks blue at one point. i love how that paint looks.

 

got any pictures of the metal specks blue?

 

yeah idk if he'd want me to post it on here but ill PM you

 

Yea that metal specks paint is sweet, I used it this past weekend on some parts. Your tC looks good by the way

 

thanks for the kind words all

the metal flakes paint is great, I'm really impressed with how well its stood up to the heat of my engine *knock on wood*



I've been debating whether or not to do this mod for quit some time:

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=177092

how annoying do you think the plug will be? I don't really mind my S2000 antenna.... but shaved is so clean.
If I ever paint my car I am definitely doing a real shave

 

Is the tow hook for looks?
Car looks clean.

 

I actually like the tow hook man. It gives it a nice little touch. WHat kind of power are you making by the way?

 

I just got the same tires - how do you like them so far?

 

Yeah the hook is pretty much for looks. Maybe its just a little rice I have to get out of my system, but I just cant help but kinda like it right now, even though I laugh at most other cars with em hahah

I was actually talking to a cop today who asked about when I was working on my car, he said he liked it and was like "just leave it, the minute you take it off, you're gonna need to get towed and destroy your rear bumper"

As far as the tires go, I havent put on a whole lot of miles but so far they seem great. For my power levels they appear to grip well in second gear which I really like and I feel comfortable moving through turns.....
and they look good
