simplylibet build thread!!! new pic!!!
ok, so for my first car i found a deal on a 2007 automatic Flint Mica scion tc with 22k on the clock. drove 40 minutes and fell in love.
this is the closest pic i have to the day i got her
first mods i did were ruff racing rims (biggest waste of money ever!), 20% tints, 8k hids, apt fogs, paint driverside calipers blue (never got to do the passenger side lmao) pedastal spoiler, and a crappy headunit.
then terror struck =[ rear ended a ford explorer and messed up my front bumper, got a new ebay one and a badgeless ebay grille =P also got a "need for speed" and got a raceland intake
then figured well i need an exhaust and found a great deal on a used draxas exhaust, so on that went. Found a guy who traded my stock headers for his raceland header/s pipe....
At about 45k i got serious with this thing, decided to to an auto to manual swap.
did all the work in my garage and threw in a cheap exedy oem clutch (thing suxxx) and got a megan short throw.
Bent a rim to the point where it was losing air everyday, so i decided to powder coat the stock rims, upgraded tires to 225/45/17 contiprocontacts got a rs1 lipkit, and lowered it on eibach sportlines. :D
then wanted moar fast. so i bought a used supercharger kit!
all the while got a avh p4100 touchscrren headunit painted some interior pieces and put a ps2 under the passenger seat =P.
ricey grille lights i took out a while agooo
and basically she sits close to this now
and of course i wanna go faster so sold the supercharger and bought a turbonetics kit. soon to put that in.
i gotta update this with new pics but i was bored and made this with what i had lol
prolly forgetting some mods.
shooting for 300whp on 9-10psi on aem fic wih 550cc injector on stock internals
thanks for reading feel free to leave feedback or ask any questions!

i got a vibrant vacuum block thing looks solid as hell.
vaccum block.
fittings.
hose.
the fittings and hose are kinda more "overkill" but are quick connect and can hold 100 psi and are used for air suspension and other pneumatic applications.
you could easily get by with barbed fittings/silcone/hose clamps but they might pop off id rather just have peace of mind.
hope that help man.

are you for real? i got 440's with my turbo kit. i sent you the 440's from my supercharger kit. what did you think you got? or did your neighbor tell you they were stock bahah. also if you trolled my FS thread (which im sure you did) you'd see im selling siemen pigtails not the pnp ones found in the kit.
