Recent Pictures of the Scion

[Nismo]

Sweet... I saw you all the time on the road in Gwinnett and I think I even saw you in Kennesaw some random ass night... Now that I know it's you (at least screen name) I will speak.

I hate TCs but yours looks good... There was this red and black one at the Smyrna meet I went to last weekend that I must admit, was done very nicely...

is your front higher than your back? or is it the incline?

Incline

[Nismo]

The car actually dyno's at about 140 at the wheels from the factory. I feel the 90 WHP gain is well worth it. Especially since I only spent about 1500 on it.

Ran- What happened was I put the stock headers on the car and one of the flex joints in the exhaust some how reaimed the muffler tip straight up so it was rubbing the bumper. I didnt notice, as I had some place to be. When I got there I realized my muffler tip was being JDM Tyte and facing up at a 35-40 degree angle.

Also Ran and the rest of the Loli crew, this is the teenage girls wet dream this car. Its available to be rented out. You just have to clean the seats afterwards. lol

Do you know Ted Farenthold? He has a candy yellow/orange XB with bags, chrome 18s and all sorts of other nick nacks? I ask because he is part of scinergy too.

Yep! He just built a garage.

Considering how the base model tC comes with 161HP from the factory, 220WHP is quite a significant increase.

[Rabid Lemmin]

Sup Chris! Too bad you can't bring it to Orlando, but at least I'll have someone else to stage drive my poor slow little Scion :P Also, wtf is in your sig? Looks like evil rabbits.

[dizzle]

looks good

I don't recall saying it wasn't a significant increase in power

220whp after being supercharged is still quite funny though, IMO.

Oh do explain please? Not all of us can drive m3's.

lol... I'm not even saying my M3's "fast", because it's really not. I haven't ever bothered getting it dyno'd, but I really doubt I'd put down anymore than 215whp. It's fun to drive, but let's be serious.It's a '97 with 106k miles, hardly some baller ride.

All I'm saying is I don't even see the point in spending money to mod a TC (performance wise).

Cause its fun to romp on unsuspecting m3 drivers

Yeah he did. I have known his son Dwight for about 12 years now....damn, Im getting old... Anyway, have you seen his garage? Its pretty damn big and its gonna be nice as hell. He did all the body work to my G back at their old shop "Teds Auto Body" in tucker.

Looks good. Can you paint the valve cover on a Scion? That would look cool if you could.

Yeah I have to take it off though to do it. I have an engine cover for it, its just not on in that picture. I want to get a carbon fiber one that says "Trd Supercharged"

I think he took the name only because he would rather not let anyone else have it...he's got that "Butthole like" goofyness to em...

[Nismo]

Yep. I wanted a name other people would want to have. Plus I had the maxima at the time.

[BKgen®]

Yea I was mostly stock then too. I just remember we were goin south on 141 near Spalding. I'd be down to run you again but the Mazda will probably not be going back to ATL unless someone up there buys it.

I used to own one and personally out of the three cars I have had it was by far my favorite and if he only payed $1500 for the whole S.C. Kit then . The TRD kit at that price is by far the best bang for the buck throw in a few bolt on's and your running about the same power as an untuned turbo setup on these cars for half the money.. If I were to get another one I'd definitely go this route.

Nismo great work man I like the car overall there are a few small things I don't like but overall this is a very nice car.

you should get another one...

[Alan®]

Man if I had the money I would. I found an 06 RS2 with the trd kit with only 1,000 miles on it and they only want 12k for it . If I had the money and it was closer I'd be all over it.

Drive to get it!

[Alan®]

That's a hella good deal though ain't it? 1k miles on it with the TRD supercharger....makes me go still leaves the money issue. Question for you though. Are you putting regular or premium in it? I know with the kit you get the bigger injectors and the new map but I have never heard anything on them saying you have to do it although the HP and reliability increase are kind of a no brainer just wondering. I know the biggest problems with the kit is the stupid shaft bearings going bye bye. I just really want out of the 3G. Especially with Premium at $3.80 right now and I'm only getting maybe 300 a tank out of it with most of that on the highway I just need to get into something that's not gonna break on me all the time.

yeah, what nismo said... "stop being qu33r bait and buy a tC already"... you can get atleast a down payment using that mitsu of yours... I'll use my truck to go get it...

It's just a matter of me talking my Dad into it. He's been adimit about me driving this thing until I get out of college and I don't see it happening. Looking at this or a 337 GTI which puts me back at premium but at least Id get 30mpg and have some fun with it.

EDIT: this would be my 2nd tC if I get this and Nismo I think I sold you my black stockies like a year or so back.

Premium, and coincidently I sell the kits to rebuild the blowers. I did mine already and about 4 other people have ordered them.

DO IT! I have soo many parts we can put on that car.... besides, IMO it's one of the best colors (sides IIP ) and "Special editions" that Scion came up with.

[Alan®]

IMO BSP FTW! But yea I just don't understand why some one paid 22K for it then paid 4K for the TRD kit and then traded it in. Doesn't make sense. Not to mention there is rust(at least that's what it looks like)on the shaft so hmmm......

discoloration on the shaft (laughs) is fine... nismo's got it on his and it runs like a champ... as far as price... I dunno... Lease, auction, then sale? I have no Ideal... bottom line even at 13-14K it seems like a good deal. I'd be on this like a fat kid on choclate cake if I didn't already have money vested in "other" things... ....

I will add this however...I could give you a great deal on my old turbonetics kit .... it just needs a few little parts... and a new turbo... we'd have you at a reliable 300crank Hp... for under 15k total.. prob...
