Vortex Generator on a tC???
 

Does anyone have em on their tC?? I'm in a group of Evos and the tc is like a lil brother. About mid next year, itll look alot like one. But anyway, does anyone have pics of it on a tC???

Please, NO FLAMING!!!!

if u want details of the tc, here they are:
Greddy turbo
full badgeless
cf hatch
evo style hood
evo spoiler
and other stuff, but thats the main stuff

bump

So you're spending a bunch of money to make your tc look like an evo, why not buy a used evo.

lol.. cause now he doesn't have the money after spending it on the car and the turbo, etc. etc. :P 'tis a shame, i'd rather have an evo than a tC, not gonna lie :)

Meh, I like the Evos a bunch, but I'm an STI person at heart.

Ill go with an RX-8

booooooooooooooooo. haha i like the styling and handling, but the power deficit isn't exactly my cup of tea. i'm sure a mazdaspeed rx-8 would own though...

you know a little chip work lights up those Rx-8s really really easily right Jaxt? Those little rotary engines spin up like no bodys business.

"chip work"? as in ecu re-programming type stuff? sure the rotarys spin, but the problem IMO is it's naturally aspirated and has next to no torque compared to other cars in its price range. i actually haven't really followed much aftermarket regarding the rx-8s, so i dunno how much support they have.

You can boost them and maaaan do they go with a bit of boost. They are great cars though imo. Incredible handling. They are so forgiving when it comes to hard driving. Sure the power is a bit lacking when compared to an EVO or WRX but a bit of work will get them rockin.

Hey dont get me wrong,
Torque on rotary engines SUCK.
But a little work on the engine, tuning, etc can get them to hit the high train really well.
For me, buying an RX-8 would be more like trying to reconnect with my child hood.
I'd honestly take an RX-7 and rebuild it over a brand new RX-8.

How about them on an xA instead...

THANK YOU. for staying on topic. why dont i trade it in?? gimme some money i will. the guys in my team think its better to have a lil bro of the group, so the tC fits in perfectly. and, the tC was paid in full.

But anyways, very nice!!!

so how would vortex generators benefit a front wheel drive car?

my opinion is no based on the fact that I like the uninterrupted nature of the solid glass roof and would like to keep it clean.

Do it though if you think its cool and post up pics and get peoples opinions that way. Best bet is to use some double stick tape and just pull em off if you dont like em.

in these advertisements for wings west in my super street magazine, it had pictures of a tc with a spoiler right at the top of the hatch, past the second moonroof, not a vortex generator, but kinda the same placement.

yea i have seen that... doesnt seem something worth spending money on... might as well save up for something a bit... faster? hehe

but nothing is faster than a turbo tc! nothing!

very good point there. actually, a slight mind change point. ill prolly still get em though. but, it is proven, that they do help

trust me, this tc, will be HOT. when u see pics of her when shes done (bro wants to win best car at school) your jaw will drop. itll be clean, yet suttle

hey, i got Delta Customs to make a vortex generator. the design will be similar to a shark fin, just more suttle to the lines of a tc. ill have some updates later.

Subtle.

yeah my bad. typo

**UPDATE**

This is still a prototype, but will be ready in a couple weeks.
There will be 3 options, Primered, Gloss Black, or color matched

I would not buy a used evo or any car with a turbo used. :yawn: Who nows what can go wrong.

I have to ask, what the ____ is a Vortex Generator?

as seen on the evos, it goes on the roof, (right at the end, before the hatch (no interference)) and increases down force

I've never seen that before...cool

Theire so posed to be angled but they aren't on the evos. I mean its not a big deal but like on strictly race cars they do that.

the evos are angeled, if u look closely

obviously these are just 'for show' (for me)

but here yah go.. not that clear of pics cuz it was taken indoors with my cell phone :X i first saw these at a so-cal meet from Paul's car (blue scion tc) and decided to get myself a set as well

no far away pics just yet. flame if you want, i dont mind. haha

i like, far away pics would be appreciated!!!

This thread is worthless without far away pics!

better than nothing ... :tap:

i'll take far away pics tomorrow morning.

no flaming but a voice of reason...

the downforce achieved with vortex generators is only because it creates vortices that interact with the spoiler...if the spoiler was smaller it would have no effect on the downforce of the evo...

and downforce on the rear wheels of the tC? seriously?

good point indeed. like i said, for me it was just for looks

mine would be just for looks....
