boom goes the dynamite...

 

^whats it like drvin with them twenty twin twinsss?

 

^ yes.

 

LMFAO!!!!!!!

 

There were some clean tC2's at TORC, I'll post them up later.

 

Def were some clean Tcs both gens at TORC and even in the parking lot!

 

LOL

actually the ride was super smooth. even on the stretched tires. personally i think A LOT had to do with my KWs making it smooth than the rims/tires making it not. it felt like i was riding stock smooth

Aaron....i saw you taking pictures...you better post it up!

 

Def did raw pics are in my photobucket just go to all albums and click the TORC album

did u get a new paint job? Metallic mirror or something? LOL whips looking good!

 

Probably an HDR shot.

 

So kj no I didn't get a new paint job I use about 5 products to get the shine. Plenty of people think my car is photoshopped but it is not how ever this is a high def pic taken at a professional photoshoot. The photographer enhanced the colors around the car but nothing was done to the actual car itself. It looks even better in person and is like a black mirror.And thanks!

 

lol i was actually kidding about the paint job and more completing on the awesome shine

and i've seen how pro photoshoots go (and no...not pro as in "hey my buddy got his big DSLR out and took a picture of my car next to this fine tree/off a cliff/in parking lot) and your shots look like legit pro photoshoots. major props! can't wait to see you in magazines...maybe one day i'll flip through one and see both of our cars haha

 

Thanks kj that is the plan to be in a magazine and gain tc's some respect. I could have chosen an sti or Evo but for me to take on the challenge of a platform that not many people respect was more appealing to me.

 

HDR..."a much too much"...

 

plus some subie or evo owners can be jerks cause they think they are bad ___ for being able to afford a ride that is already performance ready off the lot...it takes real skill/passion to turn a Scion into a show stopper

 

Well in the end they end up costing roughly the same. 0iq has probably spent more than a brand new sti would've cost him.

 

I have. Before the internal work, I was still under 32k with cost of the car, parts and labor. After the engine rebuild, I'm about 1-2k over the cost of a brand new STi/EVO paying cash out the door. I'd imagine financing one would cost more overall.

Let's hope it's worth it after said and done.

 

I feel like this is one of the great debates when it comes to cars. You can ALWAYS just spend more money than everyone else and buy the fastest car off the lot. But if everyone did this, then there would be absolutely no pride in cars. In my personal opinion, Spending 32K on completley building up a TC2 vs Spending 32K on a brand new STI..... I'd take the TC2 any day. You should take pride in cars that you BUILD, not that you BUY

 

how much u spend after the fact of buying the car is irrelevant....but isn't that what its all about? moding a car to the fullest...time, money, passion, everything...all things 0 has done

while on the other hand i constantly see people buy a subie or an evo out the door and think they have a nice fixed up ride....but its only "fixed up" cause subaru/mitsubishi build it that way. not because the buyer actually did any mods. its like taking the easy way out because one's pockets are deeper at the initial purchase

its not how much you spend buying the car, but how much you do with your car after
