I guess it finally a good time to make my build thread. I've joined SL just over 5 years ago when I got my 08' Flint Mica tC. I'm on here quite often I just don't post much. Anyways, its my daily car and it has been through a lot of changes. I wanted to go for all performance at first, but somehow ended up as stanced build I also have another project- my wife's 06' xB. I think I will just keep this one thread for both of our Scions.

Ok back to tC again. I'm in a process of doing wire tuck right now. I'm looking to do ABS and AC tuck, than shave and repaint my bay. Big thanks to Chris @ TBL Productions for doing my engine harness. Most recent pic, more to come.

And finally as she sits right now finally fitted right No more poke, tucking rims all around. Same specs just more camber. Just lowered it last weekend and already want moar low lol


This is it for now. Stay tuned...

 

Looks awesome fam!!

 

Amazing! How does the blast pipes sound? do you have a vid of it at all?

 

Happen to have a how-to on the carputer? Like the look of the jlines. What part of texas do you live in btw? Nice looking rides and props to having a partner with the same interests as far as car modding!

Lookin good man!

 

Thanks y'all
I loved the sound when i had oem header on. Its ok if you stay off the throttle, but can get really loud between 2-3K The only video i have is this, i don't rev it there much but you can hear it at the last part of the video.

Carputer project has been long gone but here is my old thread on mp3car or here. I can only imagine what kind of stuff they have available on the market now. Im in Houston TX.

 

sweet! i like very much. lol whats your camber for front and rear?

 

How are the front fenders modified?

 

chubbykai- front is -7ish rear is -10ish

HKSpeed - I cut the flare/bottom part out of another tc fender, then riveted it on top of my stock fender.

 

sweet rides. where i live my streets would pwn my car is i dropped it that low. looks sick though!

 

PROPS! keep us updated on that wire tuck

 

Well, I sold the Equips and went with Work Leadsleds this time. 18x11 all around F +10, R 0. Dont mind my front wheel gap, I had to raise it by 1/2 to clear my front coils. I will dial everything in this weekend and get my fronts to tuck again. Heres some pics taken by the others at ccm last weekend.

 

Daaammmnnn bro car looks sick and aggresive! ;-) cant wait to see the wheels in person..keep it up man!

 

Geezus that looks awesome...

 

What did you do with the cut edge on the fenders? What clips are you using for the front bumper?
Car Looks slick!
