Default Project Time Attack *Prelim pics w/ wing*

Coming right off of the World Racing Scion tC's back. The wing on Chris Rado's TA car is now going onto my car. Their crew chief for the TA car just sold me the wing. They are redoing the body of the car, so they are selling the front bumper and flared fenders as well. Wish I could have picked those up too, but I really wanted an APR GT carbon Fiber wing. The timing was perfect. So, now instead of paying full price, I got a good deal and a piece of one of the tC's I look up to. Before you ask, my tC is getting prepped for Time Attack this season. So, hence the reason for my purchase. Got it at one helluva price too.

Plus it looks like you won't be able to open your hatch with that wing. Looks like the hatch on that car is pinned down in all four corners with aerocatch pins.

you can place the upright support mounts in a narrower position so it'll fit on the trunk.

I'm running Time Attack this season....of course I have supporting mods. Besides that, define what you think "supporting mods" are for a wing?

As mentioned, I am tracking the car. What I can and can't put in the trunk is the least of my concerns. I have a Buick Regal for picking up groceries in....

Also on a side note, the wing is a standard APR wing, that was modded to be posted out to the fenders. It still retains the stock mounting locations for the post. Therefore, IF I wanted to mount it to the trunk I could.....BUT....I don't want to. I wanted my wing on the fenders to begin with.

Boost - Check!

Time Attack - Check!


Kicking **** and taking names - we shall see....lol. I have some other parts already purchased. Here are just a sample of what's going onto the tC to get it ready.

That would be the front fenders. And the vents are Air/Brake ducts. Since I sold my turbo kit, and preparing for the PTuning turbo kit, which places the intake filter on the turbo in front of the wheel, the Air/Brake duct will function to deliver air straight to the filter. The other side will deliver air to the oil cooler.

What do the clips do for the front fenders? I'm having a hard time seeing their usage but I'm sure its something cool... somethings just going over my head though... haha. Just for holding it up in place?

They are quick release body latches. I am constantly always taking my bumper off. These are riveted into my fenders and the latches are riveted into the bumper. They are adjustable and make a real tight fit. So, when I need to detach the front bumper, I just make to pops on the sides, and pull out the tabs under the hood. Like that of the DynoComp STI.

I still need to purchase my APR front splitter. I hope to be able to pick up the wheels (18x9.5) by the time Redline gets here to my track.

Street class rules says you can't run anything better than a 140 UTQG. So, I am looking to get a set of Toyo R1R's in 255/35/18 size, or maybe 265/35/18's.
