That guy who picked apart your guy is just ridiculous. Do you have pics of his car? His car better look PERFECT to talk like he is. Oh wait, it probably does look perfect in his eyes.

you guys should read all the haters on ScionLife -- so glad not to be active or trying to serve that community any more.

I love you guys.
What's to hate? You turned a long-in-the-tooth design into something quite spectacular.

Anyway, we're just happy you're here with us.

I usually have one car in the shop, so the other one is my driver.
(and my son is REALLY into cars -- got his permit yesterday )


UNDER THE HOOD:




Quote:
This motor was built around the Turbonetics T3/T4 turbo kit. The head is ported & polished and +1.5mm oversized titanium valves were hand made for it. Custom one-off cams were ground and coated for this particular motor. Pistons and rods were balanced before installation. It was necessary to notch the block a bit to accept the new rods. An aluminum intake manifold is a possible further development.

Twins Turbo installed a new management system using a MoTeC M400 was installed for greater control over fuel maps, launch control, rev/speed limiters, etc. GP Motorsports built a custom harness for the MoTec.

The fuel system was upgraded with external pump, FPR with gauge, modified fuel rail. A C & R aluminum radiator and oil cooler helps keep her cool and the crank breather kit relieves excess pressure under load.

Garm, I think it came out wonderfully. It is REALLY hard to do a unique tC these days, but you definitely pulled it off there. I've never seen anything like it.

I don't get why there'd be any haters.

Doesn't make sense.

Anyways, I can say that those are the most epic tail lights I have ever seen.

I HATE aftermarket tails. ALL OF THEM. Except the ones on this TC. That's saying a WHOLE LOT.

I've seen this baby in person, and it looks like a tc and a ferrari had a baby. BEAUTIFUL

I read the scionlife thread, and sorry - that guy is retarded. The fact that he had to write a whole essay about your car just shows how jealous he is. Keep ignoring him Garm - its killing him. I bet he checks the thread 12 times an hour to see if you respond to him.
