Don't mind the decals. The car's going into the body shop on Wednesday to be completely repainted aqua blue. No stickers after that. You guys like? Refer to the other thread I have here for the technical side of all this.

I had a dream that my tC was similar to this. It was sweet driving it then it turned to a nightmare cause I couldnt pass smog. but all in all I love your drop and the way you fixed it up

 

Its looking great. I'll be looking to order the H&R coilovers soon for my bday. Any special Birthday pricing you can get me Thanks for the input on my other thread.

 

love the ride man! im also planning to upgrade to coilovers once im able to save up. hate to be off topic but where did you get your grille? is that the kaminari honeycomb grille?

 

Sure man. PM me for a small discount.

 

Nice ride, man! prob the best tC in New Hampshire. i m from NH too
What would u suggest me to get for coilovers with a budget around $800?
i was looking at teins but i like ur drop a lot

 

russian_tC we can meet up sometime and compare thigns and I'll give you some suggestions. I noticed you're from Dover, do you go to McIntosh college? I'd reccommend Tanabe OC-IIs for that price range.

Thanks for all the comments guys, I appreciate it!

 

Joe, I want to get some H&R springs, but I have a Ingen exhaust that already hangs pretty low. You seem the most knowlegdeable in regards to suspension, so would lowering the car make that pipe scrape?

Thanx in advance

 

So how much money have you spent on it so far? 2.5-4.5k?

 

I'd say you can still afford to lower your car. Either go with H&R sport springs which is a 1.4"F 1.3"R drop, or the H&R coilovers. Coilovers are nice because you can choose a safe drop, but still get a huge increase in handling response. All comes down to how deep your wallet is. H&R sports are meant for stock struts, with a mathed springrate, and progressive. So you get a nice look, improved handling, and all at around $230 or so.

 

Are you talking about the entire car or jus the suspension components?

The car is about or over 20k in mods alone. It's a show car as well as a race setup. 5000watts, 20 speakers, custom interior, the turbo, etc... There's a lot of things done not shown in those pics.

 

only thing that is ruining it is the front plate but laws are laws. still 100 times better than mine. Drooling over turbo.

 

Yeah, if you notice the front plate has no bolts holding it on. When I move that's coming off before anything else haha.

 

Amazing job on the TC

What kind anumbers have you been getting on the dyno? Also why are you repainting (just wondering). Looks great and clean keep it up!

 

hot ride.

 

yeah, we could def. meet up sometime, how often do u come to seacoast? maybe we could race (not), my car is not at that level yet.
I used to come to Salem a lot because i used to work in Londonderry, but I quit. And i literally live down the street from McIntosh..why, do u go to school there or u know someone who does/?
I m plannin on lowering my car within next month and i have a lot of options, but thanks for suggestion.

 

Thanks again for all the comments...

russian_tC...
I went to McIntosh college and do have a business management degree. Haven't been up there in a long time. I'm still a manager at Best Buy in salem, but I'm looking to finally open up a large performance shop this year, hopefully with a race track. Sad to say it wont be in this area. It's looking like AZ or FL and not much else.

We'll have to meet up next month when the car's done from paint and has the engine finished. I plan on racing it after that.
