Open to anyone?

 

Most likely the tC will be sold only thought the Optomized Scion channel like the xB is... The clear bodies probably wont be released without the kit, at least for a little while.

FR-S, it will be most likely during the release of the car in Spring.

umm.. what else?

These are only my guesses.. btw

 

and there u all go, DenZinz would be one of those that knows even more than me

thanks for filling in

 

After seeing the interior shots of the fr-s I was kind of disappointed. It is still nice though not saying it isn't. I was only disappointed because I saw the interior shots of the toyota ft-86 version and i thought their center console was really nice with the electronic climate controls and all. Then again that should've been expected we weren't getting the same thing haha

 

posting this in your thread since you were the first one i thought of when i thought of SoCal, but you should try to get this hookup for your car so they release a rear sway bar http://www.hotchkis.net/rdvehicles.html

 

haha thanks man. i just hit them up

things should be go..only like 20 mins away

hopefully it doesnt mess with my cusco sponsorship...i know the cusco guys are cool, just gota test the waters with hotchkis...but i know a few people sponsored by them...wonder y i never noticed them before

 

yeah, report back how it goes and get a group buy set up :D

 

of course!

i want a nice stance, but i'm not ready to go all crazy...i want something clean and flush...
not like this:

plus...i want it new. if there is going to be curb rash on my rims (and there wont) it will be because of me

 

so this just came in the mail



...i have my doubts on if it will work or not, but i got it for a good price so i decided to just get int for peace of mind

i might have time to install it on Saturday before AutoCon. update again then

 

haha so 12am is the time when you get to SL all the time. is it after ur gf falls asleep haha?

 

haha naw...

my usual SL times are days that i work between 7-3:30 if i'm not too busy
or late at night when i get home from whatever iwas doing during the day, after i relax a bit and take a share...and before i sleep

i'm usually doing stuff during the day so i dont have time to post...i might be on my iphone checking stuff...but dont post all the time with the mobile version

any more personal questions Scion202? lol

 

uhm yeah, you can call me by my actual first name.


it's just funny at 3 am here east coast I get a **** ton notifications that you've posted all over

 

haha yea...i never official knew what ur first name is, i've noticed the back and forth misspellings on Wellesleyscions thread haha but never committed to memory what was correct, so Scion202 was quicker

 

This looks like something that allows any water you CAI takes in, to flow back out, is that correct? If so, how does it prevent hot engine bay air from entering?

 

rather than letting it flow out, pretty sure it's basically an alternate source of intake in case the main filter becomes submerged somehow.

 

that's how i understand it

 

Yea it's called an Air Bypass Valve. They say it elimates the chance of sucking in water and hydrolock. How it's supposed to work is when your intake sucks in water, it gets caught along the sides of the bypass valve as it passes through. Then when you idle or coast or whatever it runs back out. Air cant really flow through it, the foam is pretty dense. Most of them have a cylinder on the inside as well that's pretty dense too, but this AEM one looks as if it just has the outer foam layer.

I have a hard time seeing how an intake can suck in any water unless you pretty much drive it into a lake, but i've heard horror stories about people going through a puddle and getting hydro-lock. But then again, your car should stall and shut off before you get to the hydro-lock point. Reguardless it's a pain in the butt.

I'm gonna get a bypass valve when I get my intake next week just for good measure. Better to have one and be safe then not have one and screw something up! Plus, it's only like $50-$60

 

I might be wrong though ^^ That's just what i've heard
