Yea it's pushbutton, its a 2012 RS 7.0 0058/2200.
That sucks i wonder if theres any that would allow me to use the scion keyfob.

Yeah I think there are some that will let you use the OEM key fob but probably not remote start since there's obviously no button for it. My dad has a similar system on his truck but I don't know what system it is.

It's got drift wheels so it is a beast at drifting. I will be taking it to shows all the time, and I also have a tC2 body on the way now that I will paint to match the car, so I can have a drifting mini-me.

Anyway, that's about it for this week, I will post pics when I have the mini-me painted and put together, but I don't really plan on buying anything soon. (I always say that, but it never happens )
You need to run some lipo batteries and a brushless motor in that. Then you can shread the normal rc tires not the hard drift ones. Makes it more scale haha

Finally got some MUCH better lug nuts -
(For a straight trade with a friend :D)



And took out the hater-vision -
(And already sold it, idk why I ever agreed to put them in, I never liked it)



As for right now, I've got some color matched paint on the way so I can paint some interior pieces and can color match Mini-Me when I get another body. Also since my tax return is on the way I want to pay off what I owe on my license plate so I can finally get it made. I am working on getting a quote for my new tires too and I hope to have them on by HIN in mid March. And finally I have a possible opportunity to get some sound equipment for cheap but I am currently waiting to see what the seller wants to do.
Busy month coming up for shows and mods, I guess my whole "break" idea ain't gonna happen, again.
Till next time

I wanted to take a break from buying stuff but that obviously will never happen lol. I know of a good place to buy tires cheap online but I want to keep it local. Shipping tires and wheels is a pain in the assypoo.

Well it's about damn time



Too bad I still don't have an amp :O

Right now I will be going to HIN then I'll be taking a break from shows so I can have some quiet time and, of course, time to work on the car. Driving 100 miles every weekend to shows is starting to put the hurt on me (even though I think the car is loving it lol)

On a similar note, I bought a nice camera recently and now that I've gotten some photos I've made a photography page on Facebook so I can have a place to properly spam my event coverage. Give it a like for car pr0nz - https://www.facebook.com/TheRealJLPhotography

I'll keep yall updated on the mods, I'll go get an amp later this week and when I find time I want to paint some interior pieces. Also I payed off the rest I owe on my custom plates so they should be here in a few weeks. After that I'll start saving up for those tires.

Nothing crazy lately other than getting the subs hooked up. They sound pretty great but I don't have a video I can put here unfortunately.

I painted that little plastic piece that goes behind the front emblem and it came out pretty fantastic.



Now that I did that I know I can go ahead with painting the interior parts.

Still waiting on the plates, still saving up a little for tires, same old same old.
I'll update.

So this week turned out pretty awesome.

I spent all weekend busting my ___ painting my interior, but it was worth it. It turned out awesome (even with a few mess-up in the paint)





And later that day I gave my center caps a little yellow.

I made this cute little picture earlier in the week.



And, finally, today I picked up my plates after a long 3 week wait.



So I'd say this week was pretty productive. Let me know what you guys think.

Up next, I have some stickers on the way and a few things for Mini-Me. As for anything else, I guess we'll see...

Surprised how it turned out - better than i expected. i thought you were going to paint everything including steering wheel yellow, but what you did is much better.

This week's update -

Finally received my lanyard and horsepower from Dr. Stickers.

#picturespam





(The whiteish looking stickers are actually supposed to be neochrome, the pics don't do it justice. Still meh in person though)

I also ordered my tires Sunday, and they should be here during the week. For you fellow tire nerds I went with the Hankook Ventus V12's, 225/40r18. They should give a pretty moderate stretch, enough to fit when I lower it.
Hopefully I can get them mounted this weekend. I will probably be selling my current tires afterwards, so let me know if any of you would be interested in them. I'll put them in the classifieds.

After I get that done... COILOVERS B1TCHES
