I've found a forum full of people who 'get it'. But I want to see what you guys think, just for a hell of it.

Behold! The dirty tC!

Modifications not obvious is pics:
- 'Custom' short-ram intake (I put 'custom' in quotes because I just slapped some crap together and it worked.)
- Custom exhaust (Megan Racing 4-2-1 header -> 18" hushpower -> 12" flowmaster cat -> 12" cherrybomb -> mandrel-bent 2.25" tubing out the side in front of back right wheel)

To-do list:
- Street roll bar (I know the harness mounts are super dangerous; I don't do any sort of driving that poses any kind of extra rollover risk)
- 2" lift all around (probably just gonna fashion some strut-frame spacers)
- Fix broken winch, haha
- Replace glass roof with a bus-style emergency hatch
- Skid plate (gonna be a PITA; oil pan sticks out like crazy)
- Hydraulic handbrake
- Steering wheel airbag

Here are some pics of my brother's off-road wagon:

Interesting... I feel sad looking at the tC like that. Give me that lip spoiler.

looks like a cute bug

I've seen this tC before don't you have this posted somewhere else? Anyway it's cool cause its different, it would look cooler all blacked out. Like some little Call of Duty vehicle

pwee08 · 07-16-2011, 08:22 PM

SMH the car is a import not an off road car

feel sorry for that tC

DTC08 · 07-16-2011, 08:34 PM

Then you can go look at every other tC on this site that is lowered and shiny.

Thanks! I posted it on YSTC and DirtyImpreza. What else would you black out? You mean tint all the lights to black? I used to have the headlights tinted but I pulled it off so I could see better out in the desert at night.

Congrats on doing something different, you should throw up some action shots if you have any!

TeeCizzle · 07-16-2011, 08:49 PM

Need MO' Low-ness!

haha

Thats pretty interesting though!....You did a pretty Good Mad Max modding!

egobuster1 · 07-16-2011, 09:06 PM

XPRTc · 07-16-2011, 09:24 PM

I agree with the action shots. Needs more dirt haha

STlTCHES · 07-16-2011, 09:25 PM

I love it!

Good job going outside the box... Need some more outside the box thinking around here. Its Scion after all.

Spicy_McHaggiz · 07-16-2011, 09:28 PM

I used to laugh everytime I saw this on YSTC. I laugh even more now. This is an attempt to mod a car without knowing what the hell anyone is doing.

Alvie · 07-16-2011, 09:33 PM

Sooo... would this be considered an off-road ricer?? I mean its FWD. The interior looks like shh_ but the exterior looks better than most scions at car shows.

What about the car is 'rice'? You guys are pathetic.

Glad you like the outside though!

Martyr03 · 07-16-2011, 10:02 PM

i have always been a huge fan of what you do to your car. it's shows creativity. and i'm also in for action shots

**highvoltage1** · 07-16-2011, 10:10 PM

If you dont like it do it constructively! Dont be a D-bag!

Skeeeett · 07-16-2011, 11:37 PM

not my cup of tea but def unique and different. i give you props!!

XIEmperorIX · 07-16-2011, 11:45 PM

Wasn't much of a fan before. Still not sure if I like it or not but I would love to see pics and/or video of it doing its thing

chicotunner07 · 07-17-2011, 12:18 AM

hmm, was this a salvage title you decided to transform? or was it a perfectly normal tc before this?

other then the fact that the car will never be back to normal, i can appreciate what you were going for, in for vids tearing up the backroads!
