I'm not hating on you or your build whatsoever. I can see the arms are different, but only because you just ground them down. It still started as the same arm. Arm is the same, bushings are the same, knuckle is the same... Anyways, I'm not trying to be not civil, but you refuse to give us what we ask for: pictures and proof.

Anyways, not trying to troll, so I'm not going to have anymore input. Nice build, good luck with it and your business. Keep the pics coming!

Mr. Marketing Director,

Can we see CAD drawings, prototype pictures, country of origin, and the methods used to produce these ARUCAS. I'm looking to be an informed consumer. Xtec must have some awesome engineers if they were able to produce these from scratch.

Please no more talk about Xtec or their RUCA's. All of the information has been posted here for all to see. If you need more information, shoot them an email.

So moving on from that..

I don't know when the last time I posted updated pics of my car was, so here's some recent pics from the other day!

I'm kind of moving past this car. I love it, but I'm ready for something different. I'm considering putting it for sale on some websites and seeing what kind of offers I get.

But what would I buy if I sold my car? That's the real question

You do all that to your car and now you want to sell it? That would be a complete waste of money and time since you aren't going to get what you put in it. Perhaps you should have thought this over before going overboard with mods.

Pyro - I'm actually from Fleming Island but I'm at school in Orlando right now. That's probably why you never see me!

Dermal - Good idea

oblivion - I knew that was coming from somebody haha but it's not all about the money for me. I really enjoy building up cars and making them unique. I don't do mods thinking "what mod will get me the most money back when I eventually get rid of it". Obviously, I wouldn't sell it if I was going to lose a ton of money. That's why I was just gonna see what I could get on some different websites, not just straight push to sell it. Heck, I'm not even sure if I want to get rid of it or not!

The exhaust is from a G35 that's why it looks crooked. OP, I think you should get a frs next.

Yea it's not for a Scion haha I took it off a G37 and used some custom piping, but thanks! I'm not sure what you mean by crooked tho, you mean the right muffler?

I was considering the FRS, but for how much FRS's are going for right now.. their wayyyy down the list. They look good, but I'm not impressed with the engine, or the weight distribution, or the quality of the interior, or very much at all now that I think of it except the fact that it's rear wheel drive haha.

If I do sell my car (like 40% chance I will), then I'll either buy a cheap rwd car and mod the hell out of it for a while, or I'll buy an expensive car with the money and keep it stock-ish. The problem is that I rarely drive anywhere now that I'm in college, and I don't want a expensive or semi-expensive car to just sit in my car and depreciate for 4 years

So I'm considering parting out a lot of my car, and using that money to purchase a project drift car.

I'm considering selling these things:

-Avant Garde M368 Dolphin Grey 19x10 +20 Wheels
-Meng Motorsports 55W HID Kit
-Smoked Taillights
-Redline Tuning Hood Lifts
-HIC Window Visors
-HIC Rear Window Spoiler
-Polished TRD Oil Cap
-White LED Reverse Lights
-White LED Parking Lights
-Carbon Fiber License Plate Frame
-Bride Low Max Bucket Seats
-Pioneer App Radio
-Takata Racing Harnesses
-Redline Goods Leather Interior Panel Trim Swap
-Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, PSI Boost, Volts, and Tachometer Gauges
-Custom Fiberglass Pillar Gauge Pods
-Power Racing Shift ****
-Planted Seat Brackets
-Black Powder Coated NRG Harness Bar
-Footwell Ambient Lighting
-World Motorsports Bolt On TURBO Kit
-Custom BOLT ON Tanabe Dual Exhaust with Stainless Steel Tsudo Midpipe
-Raceland Coilovers
-Cusco Strut Tower Bar
-Mishimoto Transmission Cooler
-R1 Drilled and Slotted Rotors
-Xtec Auto Accessories Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arms
-Gold NST CR-LITE Crank Pulley
-GGP Motor Mount
-NRG Oil Catch Can
-Torque Solutions Exhaust Hangers
-VDI Vertical Door Conversion (Maybe??)


That would leave me with these things on my car:

-Custom Wide Body Kit
-Complete Copper Paint Conversion
-Custom Steel Fender with Vents
-Seibon Carbon Fiber GT Hood
-Copper Powder Coated Engine Cover
-Rear Emblem Shave
-Custom Car Grills Black Powder Coated GT Mesh
-Xtec Auto Accessories White CCFL Halo Kit
-Factory Lip Spoiler
-Tinted / Cleared Side Markers
-Blacked / Cleared Headlights
-20% 3M Tint
-Antenna Shave
-Black Powder Coated Calipers
-Black Muteki Locking Lug Nuts
-2nd Reverse Light Mod
-Custom Red/Black Hydrodipped Interior Trim
-T-Horn R Racing Steering Wheel
-NRG Short Hub
-NRG Quick Release
-LED Gauge/HVAC Swap
-LED Interior Dome Light Swap

Mostly aesthetic stuff would be left, because my need for performance would be quenched more by my drift car than my daily driver.

Thoughts? A boosted TC is fun to drive no doubt, but I have always wanted a RWD drift car.
