TheFantasticG

Figured I'd update it when I had a lot to update it with...

Next update will be in mid October.

How did that engine bay get so dusty? lmao

Ingalls 4-point brace, looks sweet. (did you have to drill any extra wholes????) I'm thinking of getting this if that is the case. Right now I have the MonsterMotor Works version.

TRD rear sway is gonna feel great with that. You're going to want to take faster turns from now on =)

Rear Motor Mount, your gonna curse a lot >.<

Front/Side mount are cake.

Master bushing set? Omg lol, going all out.

I'm getting the dr. iso ultimate. I don't feel like doing all the work, lol.

Middle pod is great. I made a whole in my dash, to run the wires through. Theres no going back >.<

Front Tower Bar, didn't really feel much of a difference with that one.

VRD fogs pwn =)

HIDs, careful with cops, oh nvm you got the 08 headlights, your fine.

Front endlinks pwn.

Rear endlinks, make sure they are on right. People have bent version 1 and 2.

Setup looks great =)

If you have any questions let me know. But it seems you got it all handled, lol.

I've gone through the whole install myself >.<

Except for the rear motor mount, which I needed additional help, lol.

I still need to get the front/rear endlinks, and maybeeee the master bushing set. Let me know how it feels after you get that on.

/rant complete lol

DonNguyen

guh...my rear sway is only held on by 2 bolts...lol...

couldnt get the other ones on

In Harris County, Texas, the cops will only give you trouble if you have H.I.D.s that are any other color than yellow or white. Infact, you can't even pass inspection if they are any other color than yellow or white. Mine are 5k, pure white.

The engine bay got so dirty because for two years it was my work car. I drove out to drilling rigs from Midland/Odessa, Texas to Elk City, Oklahoma, to deep in the heart of Louisiana and the backwoods of East Texas. The tC can take dirt/mud roads surprisingly well at 60mph.

I only had to drill out one threaded hole. In the pictures, I point out where it is. It's the tow bracket on the driver's side. Took a big drill bit though.

I have a certified Toyota mechanic friend that is helping me with a lot of the installs. I'm trying to find out if he is busy this sunday. We'll install the fog lights, endlinks, and master kit if he is available.

ippskidder

I did that, on one side.

The metal round thing that holds on to the sway bushing and bolts to the frame of the car.

I had to get a replacement bolt because I lost the bolt Anyways, the metal thingy wasn't round anymore >.< So I had to hammer it back to its original shape.

and the award for the dirtiest tC engine bay on earth goes to............... (drumroll please)

I just have one question. Well 2 actually.

1)Why did you choose springs over coilovers?

2)Are you actually going to let Kenny Strickler work on your car? I wouldn't buy crap from turbochargers.com. But that is my personal opinion so I wouldnt expect you to agree with me at all.

TheFantasticG

1.) Because I don't need coilovers.

2.) Yes. There's no reason not to. It's not Kenny's business. It's Turbochargers.com. They've been in business for 29 years in Houston. Kenny isn't the only one at that shop. So, you can keep that personal opinion to yourself. No need to bring that B.S. into this thread.

hookedonlucy

if you are going to buy and install everything you have listed on the 1st page, that's such a waste of money. you could buy a nice car with that kind of money.

HyPn0TiC

Wow way to be a dick.

flintMicaTC

^^^x2

he tends to be

HyPn0TiC

Flint, I wish there were less a-holes on this site and more people just hanging out having a good time. People like him tend to ____ me off because they think they know something.

flintMicaTC

i hear ya' it gets really old dealing with them

ippskidder

Wow bro, thats pretty fkd up.

I guess your age is showing

Judging from what he bought, and his planned mods. I'd say I spent more than him at the moment.

I love every freaking penny I spent on the car, and I installed 99% of the stuff on the car.

Beating cars that are worth way more is priceless. Not to mention luxury cars, or cars that are more expensive, typically tend to cost a lot more insurance. So you can't just factor in one thing.

Not to mention upgrades on more expensive cars, tend to be wayyy more expensive.

A freaking Exhaust for my 350z, is like double what I paid for the one on my tc.

But whatever.

What do you know, lol.

Avedis

I don't understand why everyone has to be such an _______ to thefantasticg. Let him do what he wants to his car. The tC is a tuner car for a reason. There are many things you can do to it, let alone for any car. Some people are more handy than others, but like him, I would not install a turbo myself unless I was certified for it. If he wanted a better car for all the money he will put into the tC, I'm sure he would have. So just let thefantasticg do what he wants and let it be. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but theres no need to be dicks about it.

more like kittens w/o the purr

Avedis

Hah. Those are some interesting analogies. But I see where you're goin. It just annoys me when people put down others ideas and such. I was just saying that if he wants to do it, then let him.

And davedave, nice avatar. For a second I thought it was a Lexus IS 300.
