Wes's Off-Road Scion tC
 
I've found a forum full of people who 'get it'. But I want to see what you guys think, just for a hell of it.



Behold! The dirty tC!

Modifications not obvious is pics:
- 'Custom' short-ram intake (I put 'custom' in quotes because I just slapped some crap together and it worked.)
- Custom exhaust (Megan Racing 4-2-1 header -> 18" hushpower -> 12" flowmaster cat -> 12" cherrybomb -> mandrel-bent 2.25" tubing out the side in front of back right wheel)

To-do list:
- Street roll bar (I know the harness mounts are super dangerous; I don't do any sort of driving that poses any kind of extra rollover risk)
- 2" lift all around (probably just gonna fashion some strut-frame spacers)
- Fix broken winch, haha
- Replace glass roof with a bus-style emergency hatch
- Skid plate (gonna be a PITA; oil pan sticks out like crazy)
- Hydraulic handbrake
- Steering wheel airbag

I've seen this tC before don't you have this posted somewhere else? Anyway it's cool cause its different, it would look cooler all blacked out. Like some little Call of Duty vehicle :gun:

pwee08 07-16-2011 08:22 PM

DTC08 07-16-2011 08:34 PM

Then you can go look at every other tC on this site that is lowered and shiny.

Thanks! I posted it on YSTC and DirtyImpreza. What else would you black out? You mean tint all the lights to black? I used to have the headlights tinted but I pulled it off so I could see better out in the desert at night.

Signed on just to quote this because its so funny.

Congrats on doing something different, you should throw up some action shots if you have any!

TeeCizzle 07-16-2011 08:49 PM

Need MO' Low-ness!


haha


Thats pretty interesting though!....You did a pretty Good Mad Max modding!

egobuster1 07-16-2011 09:06 PM

XPRTc 07-16-2011 09:24 PM

I agree with the action shots. Needs more dirt haha

STlTCHES 07-16-2011 09:25 PM

I love it!

Good job going outside the box... Need some more outside the box thinking around here. Its Scion after all.

Spicy_McHaggiz 07-16-2011 09:28 PM

I used to laugh everytime I saw this on YSTC. I laugh even more now. This is an attempt to mod a car without knowing what the ____ anyone is doing.

Alvie 07-16-2011 09:33 PM

Sooo... would this be considered an off-road ricer?? I mean its FWD. The interior looks like shh_ but the exterior looks better than most scions at car shows.

What about the car is 'rice'? You guys are pathetic.

Glad you like the outside though!

Martyr03 07-16-2011 10:02 PM

i have always been a huge fan of what you do to your car. it's shows creativity. and i'm also in for action shots

highvoltage1 07-16-2011 10:10 PM

If you dont like it do it constructively! Dont be a D-bag!

Skeeeett 07-16-2011 11:37 PM

not my cup of tea but def unique and different. i give you props!!

XIEmperorIX 07-16-2011 11:45 PM

Wasn't much of a fan before. Still not sure if I like it or not but I would love to see pics and/or video of it doing its thing

chicotunner07 07-17-2011 12:18 AM

hmm, was this a salvage title you decided to transform? or was it a perfectly normal tc before this?

other then the fact that the car will never be back to normal, i can appreciate what you were going for, in for vids tearing up the backroads!
