[quote=Ace83;3517946]nice build. So ptuning built you a full turn key motor? man i wish i was local to them[/quote
yea i purchased the block from them and had them build the motor too. and i really cant be any happier with all the good work they have done with my car and all the advise Mr. C has given me. yea im lucky to be only about 45 min away from them. but even if i was 10 hours away i would still go directly to Ptuning...lol

Well, seeing how I live in G-berg, MD, I guess the gold RPF's on my white 2010 tC is out the window now. At least I can see how it looks. Very clean!
Where do you live? I'm in montgomery village at the end of Montgomery village Ave. I work on NIH. Gotta link up some time. I would really like to take a spin in your car to see how the racelands feel. I am planning to order springs at the end of the week but am just curious about the horror stories I have heard about the RL's. I have read the threads and I think I would simply prefer to put springs on for now and save my money for a nice set of co's down the road. Want to focus on handling.
Boost away! If you need help with installs give me a call. I have some tools and a little bit of know how. No mechanic mind you but I have built up a couple of Subies before.

^^ i used to live in MV a while back. now i live near Gaithersburg High. we should plan a small meet and gather up some people and chill and go eat somwhere. i was thinking somewhere near the frederick area tho. i think theres more tc's that are on SL around there too plus the golden coral buffet is there and it may be closer for Gameover and 08 Scion TC too since there from PA if they want to come.

That's cool. I would be down for that. It would almost have to be a Fri/Sat for me though as my schedule is quite hectic with my daughter playing travel soccer and what not.
I almost drove out to PTuning today but decided to go ahead and come into the office. I figure I need to wait for the money to hit the bank instead of using my credit card to get my springs. I am dieing to drop this thing though. It looks like a damn Jeep right now imo.

Now I might have to go out to Ptuning tomorrow to get some springs and pull an all nighter so I can have them on there before a get together. My wife is going to freak when she sees me tweaking on another brand new car!

looks awesome so far man... i approve... just needs more low and your good to go...
question... your wheels are 17x8 @ +45 ... are you using a spacer?? because for a +45 they are pretty close to being flush with the fender for a +45... it looks like a +35 set up

Looks fantastic! You do look more flush than I? My RPF1s are same size but +35. I'm guessing its because you a little lower than my s-techs. Hmm..
But looks great, man. Thumbs way up.
