Here's a couple of spy shots. This car makes 443 whp on a built motor with a T3/T4 turbo.

We've been re-working the widebody design for a few months. It's going to be Ferrari red by next week...it has temp wheels, the real ones are shown below.

I think we should all pay Garm for a ride or two around the block.

haha, there's more. Here are the custom Cobra racing seats, re-upholstered in red & black leather, and re-badged with an embroidered Scion logo.

are you going with a single side exhaust?

wouldn't it be more symmetrical to use an exit at either side?

I'd like to do dual twin tips, but I'm going to get to that after it's done and modify the diffuser accordingly (the diffuser is removable).

Does he seriously make a good income from rain chains? Watched the video.. wanted one.. dont have gutters >< lol

Shroomster

11-13-2008, 12:26 AM

I'm trying to figure out if it will work on the edge of the house where the overhangs meet in a corner...causes a hell of a pouring water effect......if it does that might become an x-mas idea...

PETERPOOP

11-13-2008, 01:36 AM

Well he started it in 2001 and is still in business. He has a store in cali for it. He must be making somewhat of a profit. I think his tc and yaris speak for that.

i love the video on his main page at www.rainchains.com. It's so peaceful. Reminds me of when i wax my chest at heaven on earth spa!

TheRealEnth

11-13-2008, 02:13 AM

I never knew he was into that stuff, Im big into gardens myself.. i really really like making a nice landscape full of plants and things. I just moved houses but my backyard gets full of birds and parrots in the morning everyday .. its relaxing to see if im home at 7am

Well there are leaderheads you could purchase for the RainChains. These are essentially a triangular-shaped copper funnel that, having two walls (perpendicular to each other), could funnel the rain water into this leaderhead and into the rainchain.

OR you meant the complete opposite and just maybe wanted to drill a 3" hole in the corner of the gutters and drop an RCR-1 kit that we carry.

does it also come in different anodized colors?

TEHxFALLEN V1.2

11-13-2008, 04:45 AM

No, they are not the same? They are owned by the same man though.
Let's see..

RainChains.com
G2AutoSports.com
MicroImageOnline.com
WebspaceDesigns.com

All California based!

TEHxFALLEN V1.2

11-13-2008, 04:48 AM

They come in variety of different materials and finishes.

Copper, brass, iron and aluminum. Some are given a special treatment to give it an aged look, or buy them unfinished.

bikegerm

11-13-2008, 11:10 AM

RainChains looks totally cool !! Great idea and product line Garm. Decorative and functional. Mmmm... I see a pattern here. Similiar theme to the MicroImage product line. Goes to show you what pride in your products and customer support can do for a successful business or businesses !! If we all had his work ethics we too could have a bad ass Yaris and a TC in progress.

RainChains and MicroImage ---- FTW !!! Congrats on all your success !!

cali yaris

11-13-2008, 11:58 AM

WOW -- I guess I should start a rain chains thread.... 'cause you guys TOTALLY JACKED my tC thread.

ROFL

Yes, I own www.RainChains.com and it's been very good to me. I basically started the rain chains here in the USA at the end of 2001, before the copycats got in on it. Sales are a lot tougher right now than they used to be, but it pays our bills. "teh_x_fallen" and "pixiedixie862" both work for me.

I have 3 small warehouse units, one for G2autosports and Micro Image, and two units for rain chains. Hopefully that helps clear things up a bit!

20% off on rain chains for YarisWorld members! GREAT GIFT! SMOG LEGAL!

PETERPOOP

oh snap 20% off and xmas is around the corner!!! HMMM HMMM!

Some nice progress there Garm. Out of curiosity what kind of paint are you using?

at3GG

11-13-2008, 06:05 PM

1. my good gravy thats one tasty scion

2. what in the everchanging world is a rain chain? just a pretty "overflow" fountain...thing? Sorry just never heard of it!

cali yaris

11-13-2008, 06:08 PM

TranStar paint.

rain chain cups don't overflow, they are open at the bottom. They efficiently move the water down, just like your downspout did -- except they are beautiful, sound better, and look great even when it's NOT raining.

11-13-2008, 07:04 PM

Ohhhh ok gotcha. Well i would browse if i owned a house! Might look anyway though...

For more thread-jacking :laugh::biggrin::tongue:, Garm also sells candle holders. I bought a pair from him for my mom.

What was that link again, Garm? I'm sure lots of people here would like to buy those holders.

I always thought of Garm more like MacGyver type. Just reminds me of Richard Dean Anderson for some reason.

11-14-2008, 10:52 PM

I love the tC. :) it handles SO freaking well. I have every TRD item out Garm.
2007 NMB, 8400 miles on it.

TRD lsd, clutch, supercharger (w/ forge 007 bpv, nst 9.5 lb pulley) trd exhaust, trd intake, trd suspension, trd 18's and the stoptech BBK... plus much much more stuff... but it sure is a BLAST to drive (especially compared to my sedan.. its like jekyl and hyde) ... boost sure is a blast. Id estimate my car is at 230hp

I LOVE driving my tc.. the full suspension, bigger brakes, supercharger and everything make it a whole different ballgame. Also, the LSD gives it a big up on regular boosted cars also. Best time at the quarter was a 14.4 so far. which is pretty good I guess.

anyways, not to thread jack.. and I can delete these pix if you want but here we go!
