ZPIracing Time Attack build**Details inside**
I know that a lot of you are new to the tuner scene. While we have some veterans here that help spread the knowledge of what it takes to make a car run fast and reliable I feel the blunt of the Scion community our eager young enthusiasts who are thirsty for knowledge.
As some of you may or may not know ZPIracing is about one thing drag racing. We street race, drag race make dumb videos etc…We have never had a interest in making a Scion look good or turn well unless it involved going forward and doing so quickly. With the merger of our company then new owners are interested in all aspects of the tC. So what better way to expand our knowledge on the tC than building a road going highly competitive time attack car.
We will be building this car over the next 4 weeks to be debut at Putnam park in mid October then on to SEMA. We will document every stage of the build on here for you the Scion community to watch ask questions and enjoy. We will run primarily production parts only to show that this car can be duplicated by anyone. We will ask for input along the way as we do this for you the Scion community. Some prototype parts will be developed on this car to be tested and put into production later.
Below is a list of our intentions with the car and some pics. Check back daily as we will continue to update this.

Oh boy this is going to be an interesting thread and ride. Looks like you have compiled one heck of a list of options/add on's. 
Who's going to being driving it, you or Danny? Good luck with the project. 
I know we will all be watching ....
