Why have I not heard of TOYBOXRACING before?

http://toyboxracingstore.com/

These look super intriquing

mazilla · 08-07-2012, 09:50 AM

Maybe your head has been in the sand?

The dbags @ TBR are here trolling every other day!

I'll NEVER give those guys a single cent, even had to block that douche from hounding me on FB...trying to poach Garms customer base.

I'm so annoyed by that company.

^ ha, I'm not surprised, I've received several messages about that.

Because they've been permanently banned from this site and several others.

oh

okay?

in the meantime, the manifold looks like a nice casting and if I could figure out the logistics of an ECU swap (from DBW to cable) it might be interesting to try out??

but..................... what about the history that I'm missing?

someone fill me in?? (if even through PM or email) so that I don't get burnt

cali yaris · 08-07-2012, 10:21 AM

I'll be happy to do that on my break later this morning.

tooter · 08-07-2012, 10:36 AM

It's always exciting whenever TBR comes here.
It's like Klingons attacking the starship Enterprise.

More like the Borg, if you ask me.

Im always interested in their builds and check their website often but I have never had any experience with them personally

tooter · 08-07-2012, 12:23 PM

Yeah... every visit is like a hostile takeover attempt.

3cyltrbo · 08-07-2012, 12:25 PM

eek

sorry to have brought it up.

I wasn't aware that there was bad history.

I just opened a new magazine last night (S3) and saw photos of the ITB's and I got super excited.

Without knowing what happened(I'm clueless), all I have to say is that if they (TBR) were jerks, than its pretty pathetic because we should all be a big happy 1nz-fe brotherhood.

No problem. It's a fun topic and basically harmless.

I know. They create great motor porn.

Whenever the TBR guy starts posting here, everyone looks at their wristwatches to figure how long it will be before he snaps.

BEEF · 08-07-2012, 12:54 PM

I don't think the guy has ever dynoed big numbers though... I honestly haven't been here that long but have seen him come and go a few times. always talking a big game and talking about his huge engine build. still waiting to see some numbers.

garm has a 357hp yaris and there is another guy (chew or something) that cracked 500 recently. I've bought a few things from garm. always had good experiences with his company (microimageonline.com).

fnkngrv · 08-07-2012, 01:07 PM

TBR has never provided real world evidence of what investing in them will get you. They seem to have a great bit of knowledge, but when someone tells you that they will build you a 350-400hp setup for the type of coin they are asking it makes it tough to swallow when there is no evidence. Throwing down 100 bucks on something without proof is one thing, but dropping 10-20k is insane without something to go off of. Purchasing those ITBs will require other work to net you a real value and in that case it becomes a never ending trail to get to where you need to be.

1.5 · 08-07-2012, 01:19 PM

yeah they have motor building services for like 5-8k bucks but no where do you find any evidence of anyone running their set ups or any dynos or nothing.

tooter · 08-07-2012, 02:22 PM

Just did a search and couldn't find any TBR sponsored race cars. Granted, their merchandise looks to be top notch and of the highest quality, but their "builds" appear more like inventory assembled just for display rather than for actual working projects. They do have four youtube videos posted, but all are of merchandise with no video of anything they sell which is in actual operation.

I have more videos of actual real world running projects than they do, and I'm just a goof off!

cali yaris · 08-07-2012, 02:32 PM

Yay, I don't have to write the PM now.

That was a low quote. I was quoted 18-21k when I had talked to them a couple years ago before I bought my turbo kit from Carlos and before they really rubbed folks the wrong way here. I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt as I always do.
