Wow...a friend told me about this, that tC is going to be sick , good luck man and thanks for posting .

 

I cant wait to see things in action.

Comp.

 

This sounds awesome!

I cannot wait to see a tC of this caliber racing at this level.

I looked around your site and was very impressed. Good luck, and keep us posted!

 

about damn time! cant wait to see how they'll do...they've got a HUGE challenge ahead. i am a mazda enthusiast much more than i am a scion enthusiast and Randy Pobst has been doing an awesome job driving that Tri-point Mazda 6. they've got alotta work to do, this is gonna be super interesting, gives us tc owners that lean more towards handling, twists and turns hope! hheheh :D

 

It's good to see Scions that can turn left & right...

VERY cool!

 

Freakin' awesome!
I'm an avid watcher/fan of the TC and GT challenges on the Speed Channel, I'll be rooting for you!

 

A sneak peek--front suspension and brakes.

Wait until you see the rear suspension! This week's Modified.com feature on the car centers on the cage fabrication by Tony and Joe Colicchio.

Haha, at first glance, I thought there was two sets of dampers/springs.

Very cool stuff. And the cage looks bada$$.

 

Nice....

 

A few more pics as things are progressing:

Rear suspension--similar to the front, except for the integrated blade cockpit adjustable ARB using the Hotchkis rear bar, and Hotchkis upper camber link/adjuster.



This is the spec SPEED TC rear wing installation underway. I worked with my colleague at Racecar Engineering Magazine to determine the optimal rear wing height and angles within the rule book. He fed me some awesome info after doing CFD modeling.

TC Design made the mounts and did the install per that data.



This is the car yesterday before the bodywork was reinstalled and readied to hit the ground.

 

loooooks great, like a real performer.

and this coming from a former pit crew member from the first road race tC.

 

how long did It take to get the driveshafts from driveshaft shop?

 

Average turn around time is 4-6 weeks. They pushed like heck and got them back in 3. Frank and the team there just rock.

 

cool, I just sent them off to the shop like 5 minutes ago and they were telling me like a week or so. I honestly I have no problem it taking that long, it should about that long before the car is up and running.

I see in the pictures your running a modified T-netics kit? ( I could be wrong) What kind of power are you planning on pushing with the car?

 

Cool--they had a huge time crucnh for SEMa when mine were sent in--I'm sure they're back to normal now.

For the 25hr, the goal is approx 240-250 crank; the Turbonetics kit delivers 300 crank. It's actually a completely unmodified Turbonetics kit, except for the Motec engine management and sensors. Awesome kit--very well thought out--that's why we partnered with them instead of the many other kit makers out there.

 

Very cool - I wish you the best of luck and if you are ever headed to Road Atlanta let me know and I will come out and see ya!
We can race our time attack tC vs. your tC!

 

beauty--send me some pics--I'd love to see it.
