I fail to see what's so funny. You, sir, are laughing at your own joke. Unless he's too embarassed to show the new video, than he can't embarass himself.. no matter what you think. See, getting embarassed or not depends solely on whether or not one feels shame of what others think and does not depend on others' opinions. If you don't like it, what need have you of posting anything?

I for one would like to hear it "broken in." I haven't heard of other people's cars, when modded with such parts, sounding different when the parts break in. The only difference I can imagine would be the ECU determining a better fuel map because otherwise, it's just a bunch of tubes..

And again, I must say, taek's car is NOT rice based on the "accepted" definition. This is the sound of a higher performing car than stock. That's right, this sound is the result of more power. Rice - as defined by most peopel - is or are a bunch of parts that do not add "performance." None of you argue that these mods don't add performance; therefore, this is not an example of "rice."

If you care so much about it sounding not like rice, than you are no better than a ricer who wants to sound fast with his fart can: only the image matters, performance or not be damned.

 

wow, its because of people like kungpaosumari that makes me want to make another vid to back them up for backing me up.

i'll try to get my new mods in ASAP, my rims won't be ready cuz they're custom ordered set. =[ sorry so yeah but i'm sure that when you guys hear it next time, there will not be ANY fart noise.

thanks

this is the scionlife rice that ive been talking about for weeks now...this is a perfect example of someone with no respect for other people, and instead of knocking how his car sounds you could just say i dont like the sound or whatever...you post was uncalled for now die

 

yeah your right, with rims and a carbon fiber hood your looking at atleast 30 horsepower who knows maybe with a couple of stickers he's looking at an extra 10-15 ponies

it's amazin how you can make a 2.4 litre scion engine sound like a d15 with a fart can Nice accomplishment. i didn't think it could be done but you did it

 

its called performance dispite what the car may sound like it is a pretty quick car...which leads me to my next point...dont all 4cyls sound like that...srt-4s evos, RSxs, spec v...they all sound raspy...so if that was what you call rice, then all those cars are ricers as well...lets keep going here, eclipse, neons, cav.,the list goes on...now if all those cars i mentioned had I/H/E they would all be that raspy...so if your point is that our cars are rice because they way it sounds, then all those cars are rice 2....so if you base your definition of rice on sound, then you must hate all Ricers imports...so why dont you get a 8cyl and leave these import forms...

 

were you watching the same video. that car sounds nothing like an evo srt-4 or spec v. it basically sounds like ____, last time i checked thats not how performance sounds

 

i was giving a example of a srt-4 and evo, but that does sound like a modded spec v...search buddy, im not saying they are identical but that does sound somewhat raspy...and i watched the video, and im defending him because my tc sounds the same way...weapon r intake, dc headers, and injen exhaust

 

If you plan on involving yourself in any form of a discussion than it would perhaps help your cause to answer every point that metalranger33 made. At this point, all you are doing is making random jabs at taek's car for no other purpose than to satisfy yourself. Metalranger33 stated that your constant belittling is unnecessary; you respond saying that rims, carbon fiber hoods, and stickers are good for approximately 40-45 hp total. First of all, these mods (minus the stickers.. I can't account for those) are not to increase power but rather corner better and brake better, and lighten the car, respectively. Therefore, your comment regarding their apparent lack of worth and thus (I'm inferring) you can consider that they are "rice."

The carbon fiber hood, I'm sure, will be real carbon fiber and thus be lighter than the stock hood. The wheels, although probably look nice, also probably provide better traction. Therefore, I argue, these additions increase performance (despite not adding power) and are then, NOT RICE. I'm making these comments in relation to the term because I'm inferring that you still believe that the car is rice - this is due to the comment

which is evidence of your considering the lack of power gains as indicative to something falling under the given definition of "rice."

And on that, you're still hung up by the sound. How do you know what performance sounds like? It is agreed by many that headers generally cause a relatively undesirable sound. Taek obviously does not care whether or not others care that his car sounds the way it does. He has not said "I am ashamed to drive this car in public." Why should he? He can appreciate that this sound is not the result of a hackneyed attempt at "performance" using a large universal muffler. I can appreciate the sound too as I know it is indicative of someone making something more of the tC than when it was stock.

I must emphasize, if you have nothing useful to add other than an empty insult than don't add anythig.

Some may ask why I'm defending taek's car so fiercely. I try to hold all to the same principles and the fact is that TcGUY211 is just as bad as a ricer if not worse. At least ricers aren't holier than thou. They might think they are faster than thou but TcGUY211's vaunted self riteousness and arrogant singlemindedness coupled with ignorant elitism is dispicable to me and, I'm sure, discouraging for people to post the anything about the Scion that moves them.

The stock tC was meant as an "blank canvas" for people to make their own. If everyone keeps their tC stock than the tC would be a complete failure.

What moves you might not move others. Accept it.

Accept it, and unless having something interesting to contribute, please kindly shut up.

 

lighter rims can increase hp to the ground.

it's the same way larger brake rotors decrease hp.

that is a place that weight is critical.... enough for some people to pay over $100 for rays engineering lug nuts LOL

 

people like tcguys need to be banned from Scionlife...

 

wow thanks guys.

yeah i seriously don't care what people like tcguy thinks. he can think what he wants. i like how my car sounds and if he doesn't like it then he can kiss my white naked a$$

anyways, i;m thinkin of doing some "illegal driving" no just kididng haha just some stuff with the car when i get the next vid up. so it might be awhile for the new mods to be in. but thanks alot guys for the defense, i really appreciate it.

 

Man some of you are ____in _______s........i wouldn't be suprised if you jerkoffs just encouraged some newbies or even older members to think twice of even posting what they've done to they're cars cause some of you assclowns.....its one thing to say what your opinions are but to make fun of him is another.....lol wtf.......normally i could give 2 ____s but i just thought i'd add my $ .02......kungpaosamuraiii said it best:

"What moves you might not move others. Accept it."

"Accept it, and unless having something interesting to contribute, please kindly shut up."

except for the "kindly" part, just shut up........

Any way have fun.....

 

addition to my previous post:

our hoods are very light so the weight loss of going to CF is minimal. i would have to say that's purely cosmetic

 

Id have to agree on the minimal weight loss on the Cf hood, i think its like 15 lbs or so. With a cf hatch though you lose closer to 70lbs, so combined its somewhere near 90lbs. Just dont expect a big difference with just the hood.

 

if i were doing CF swaps i'd wait to see if someone releases something to replace the sun/moonroof. that glass is heavy as hell and in the worst place.

 

Those who blame the Tc for the "crappy" sound, i hope your newbies. Almost all 4cyl have this sound with I/H/E set ups. Of course, a lot depends on the size of the motor and other things as well. The 2.4 is an odd ball when it comes to exhaust notes, however its no different than the 1.5s, 1.8s, 2.0's and so on.

Silencer will help a little, but not so much on the top end. S pipe will help more than a silencer in the case of I/H/E.

As far as where the raspy sound is coming from, its not just one thing. Its not just the headers or just the exhaust. Its the combination of all 3 parts that make the sound what it is.

Also, as far as being ricey? I don't exactly see how Taeks car is ricey. When washed ( ) its a clean looking Tc. It doesn't have a ridiculous wing, or universal body kit. Yeah hes got a few speed stickers, but i've seen much worse. Relax guys, obviously hes proud of the TC and we should give him props on it. The parts he has (HKS, Injen and DC sport) are on the other side of the spectrum as far as being ricey goes.

"Ricey" - Tons of speed stickers, fitment issue body kit never painted to match rest of the car, oversized-pointless wing, painted black hoods to have CF "look", going to Pep boys or autozone for any performance part, stuff like that to me is rice.

So in conclusion, everyone just relax. He loves his Tc, and thats all that matters. It's done with class and not trash.

 

thank you tony =D

haha fruit you make me smile


i don't know about you guys but going from stock hood to a CF hood loses alot of weight. compare both very carefully and then compare other stock car's hoods to our stock hood. our hood is ridiculously heavy. the CF change should seriously help, with the new rims and the drop, traction and grip should be obtained much easier.

 

^^hahaha No problem, i dont know about the fruit though..Maybe im a green.

 

haha frikkin tony haha go home haha

 

Rice is not a part, it's an atitude.

Any modded NON TURBO 4cyl will sound raspy with a high flowing exhaust. There's no way around it. SRTs and Evos don't sound like that because they have a turbo, which is a second muffler theoretically.
