Default Great build, deserves some recognition

This car build started in ''another'' Scion shop, and became reborn after the owner wanted more.. Ptuning enjoyed taking on his ideas. I personally liked taking on his project.. I refer to this turbo kit as the Ptuning spec RS TA kit, Ninja Turtle edition .

Yes, it's not easy trying to daily a 500+WHP Scion tC. Also, we are certain that he went through a few transmissions. But we believed his main reason for selling this beautiful tC is that he bought an S2000, which is now also equipped with a PTUNING S2000 turbo system, making well over 400+WHP on a stock motor. His turbo S2000 is definitely a more reliable daily driver.

Thanks Travis and Syldrin.
This customer definitely did everything top notch.

We're not sure how much this customer spent on the car, but we know that the car has been through at least 4 revisions. He spent quite a bit of money with the first shop in NY on version 1. The car was brought to us for our Spec-SS turbo kit and knick knacks (version 2). He later decided to upgrade to the GT30R turbo, with built motor (version 3). The final version is what you see in the pics and description.

I hope to one day have enough resources to do a build as immaculate. More track beast, but clean enough to sit in a car show.

Ive seen so many nice builds come and go. I can honestly say I dont ever see me getting rid of my tC even if I upgrade to a better platform.
