...not as cute as your widdle wed bwake cowippers. Awww. Im j/k dude. If you got the intake and exhaust for 200 that is a good deal. Lets hug it out.


Biscuits, you have to get some video. People are interested. Isn't the xD rally car fwd?

 

Planning a trip to the desert out east near Jacumba soon with my brother for the sole purpose of gettin some vids and action shots.

I believe it is; surprisingly a lot of rally cars (especially older ones) are FWD, though AWD is becoming more and more prevalent.

 

Very cool! And one of a kind!

I clicked expecting photoshops.

It's a wrong-wheel-drive pseudo-Camry. It's not a terribly sporty car to drive... More like a smaller Accord coupe, so the slammed boy-racer thing is no more appropriate. Props for following your imagination!

 

I like the build alot. can't wait too see some off roading vids.

 

I think I have a new favorite build thread! I briefly considered going the dune buggy direction with my tC, but was threatened with my life by my beautiful and loving (and potentially lethal) wife. Oh well, I'll live through you.

Oh, and you should totally embrace the "Ricer" label, name your car Riceroni or Instant Ricer or something. The tC is a ricer, no matter what many Scion owners want to believe, and there is nothing wrong with it. Your "ricer" is fricking awesome and will only get better. Embrace the rice. Rice pride!

Anyway, I feel myself getting on a soapbox, so I'll stop now. Great start to your build and I look forward to seeing more.

P.S. You a Marine?

 

Spotted you on 7/19 around 1:15PM on Park Blvd by Balboa Park.

 

Looks bad ___, forget the haters, each to his own. +1 for the action shots though.

 

FWD never really wins in rally. They compete but I don't think a FWD has ever had a major victory. I know MINI just got back into the WRC within the last year or so I believe.

 

Most of the time FWD has its own class so they don't feel so bad losing.

 

is the seatbelt supposed to be angled like that?

 

I saw this on the ricer thread on IWSTI.

I'm on their side, WTF?

 

Now you know how I feel every time I see one of these "Hellaflush" cars.

Anyways, I like it, its unique and crazy, but its got this strange appeal to it. Guess I love offroad/crazy ____, so it falls in that category!

 

Also - Id love to see an AWD swap and full rally suspension setup Thatd be sick!! (Also unfortunately ridiculously expensive)

 

Snapped a few quick shots. This week's theme was get-rid-of-stuff-I-don't-use, like the broken winch, crappy 'off-road' lights, etc.

Check the new (actually functional and good quality) winch!
















Goin to Jacumba tomorrow; might snap a few action shots.

 

I bet an obx lsd would go a LONG way in how that thing does off road.

Videos!!!

Just noticed, is there a SUB in there? lol

A camo wrap would look stunning on it(plus, wraps are super cheap and fairly durable).

 

^X1.

Props for originality. You need a Safari Roof Rack. That would look bad ___ and then you could mount off-road lights and your full size spare up there. Then get a rack for the hood...and mount a High-Lift jack on it.

This makes me want to wrench on the Wagoneer.

 

Dude..... that's so sweet. Looks like it could be used in mad max.

Sent from my DROID incredible

 

why not gut the rest of the interior and get some bucket seats in there!

x2 on the safari style roof rack with some KC lights up there, lol

 

Where I come from, people would walk up and shake your hand an offer you cash money for that tC

 

A wrap would be cool, but I do really like the matte black paint, even if it does look a bit dirty/messy (it kinda adds to the effect!)

And yes, there's a sub in there. This is my DD--gotta have tunes, on or off road!
I considered getting a roof rack but I'm afraid of the drag it'll induce, and I've yet to run out of room trying to car stuff around.... plus it might be tough finding a safari rack small enough to not look ridiculous on a tC, haha.

My next project is to remove the glass strip between the windshield and the sunroof and bolt a pair of KC daylights in its place.
Thanks! Mad Max is def an inspiration for this car.

I had a guy yell at me on the freeway, "Yo! Thunderdome called--they want their car back!!"

I really REALLY want to gut the interior, but this IS my DD, and I cart around my girlfriend and her sister and a lot of my friends around, so I want to retain a back seat.
