I bought marcelo's built block and alot of hopes for it but that never worked out. Progress for going back on boost is painfully slow but a few more things and I'll be back.

Default Lurking..

I'm on my way back.. Life has changed a lot and my tc is finally home. Lots to talk about but I'll have to update my thread for that. Been lurking in here - very time I come by I want to keep the tc.. And it looks like that's happening. Nice to see some players in here like Brett and silvr.. Nice to see a post from Marcelo, Russ and rhythm too

Haha. I knew you'd throw that around. I think you should keep it, it has a nice ring to it, and rolls right off the tongue. Hahah.

I'm still here, although i traded my tC last summer for an FR-S so i don't come one here much anymore because FT86club seems to be the place for FR-S owners. I miss my tC though and i was to buy another one for my winter car eventually!(will have to go first gen.) I'm actually a member of tcpete's facebook group as well.

Barely around here. Every now and then


Still have the tC. Just picked up the toy below recently, so it is the new autocross\summer fun toy. But keeping the tC for the foreseeable future.


Not the best pic ... but you get the idea

We'll hello everyone!!! Been a long ___ time but I've still got my 05. Sadly haven't been able to drive it since April of 2013. The rings finally decided they no longer wanted to hold back the oil from the cylinder. So had to wait until I got some money together for a build.

Turbo kit is still mostly the GReddy kit. Changing a couple things with it for more boost and power. Motor has all ARP STUDS IN IT. Upgraded the valve springs, Mankey H-beams, CP 9:1 89mm pistons, ACL bearings. Took the 18g compressor side off and put a 20g on. Closing the internal gate and mounting an external to it (38mm for now), and move the mass air from a pull to a push.

Sadly still running the e-manage ultimate. Going to take out the current 650 injectors and putting in 880's. Looking for 350-400 for now. Then I'll continue to upgrade it in steps.

working on a new setup for Spring/Sumer 2015. Never giving up on my tC1. Got to much money tied into it after all these years to let it go. Motor is out the car in my shop and ready for some new parts. Car already didnt have a/c so now the whole HVAC system is getting deleted. Finally dithcing the compressor thats just free-wheeling and running a smaller belt. Upgrading to ID1000cc injectors, 400lph fuel pump, GT3582R turbo, Competition Clutch Twin Disc, Decendant Intake Manifold, all new AEM Gauges, AEM EMS V2, possibly convert to direct port water/meth, and a full custom engine wire harness. Not shooting for a number or a time at the track. Just want to throw whatever the car can handle till something else breaks. Possibly a Part 3 build in the works to my build threads if anyone still even watches them anymore now days.

It has been pretty extensive in the past. I already got most of the stuff in the works and parts bought. All I lack is the turbo, clutch and injectors. Got the dash ripped out today on a little free time I had. The HVAC unit is coming out tomorrow and then starting on reworking the engine wiring. My tC1 funds is what's delaying the build till next year.
