WallaceGlanza Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Its still a toyota, scion is just the kind of sporty hip young brand in the us and japan, it has nothing to do with a starlet though... still nice though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFantasticG Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 lolI love Starlets and Glanzas. Wish I could import one.Wallace is right. It's still a Toyota, and as of two days ago, a boosted Toyota.It's packing a 2.4L VVT-i 4cyl 160bhp/165tqft. I had it dyno'd stock at 140whp/150ftlb atw.That's the Turbonetics T3/T4 50 trim .48 a/r (watercooled) thats going on the 2AZ-FE.The Scion tC shares a lot with the Avensis (which you guys do have)...Rick, when you come down. I'll have to let you go with it... if I have the new clutch in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 ive been told the scion tc is mainly another paseo, not quite as good as the celica but not too bad either.either way, i like them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFantasticG Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Well... Thats what I thought when I first saw it back in 2003. That it was a new Paseo.In related news, the tC and Celica (last one produced) do indeed share the same stock brakes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheFantasticG Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 All modifications are on hold until further notice (i.e. buying new parts). You would too if you lost your job ;)I still have parts that need to be installed that I purchased some time ago. One of those was a Gauge & HVAC cluster LED kit. I and the North Houston Scikotics (some of them) got after it yesterday. None of us had done the HVAC before so it took quite a while to double-and-triple check/test that all the resistors and LEDs were done correctly and for me to finally decide what I wanted to do with the colors. I'm mostly satisfied with how it turned out. I need to de-paint the needles completely and leave them clear, and maybe change the blinkers to white... but that's about it. Otherwise, I'm satisfied with how it turned out. Take a look: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 the speedo looks really good mate, its got a subtle glow that doesnt over power its self with light (so its blurred and you cant see)really liking that! ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenV Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 thats awsome man, really nice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFantasticG Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Thanks. In most of the gauges that have been done on tCs, you see a blue/white combo like this:or one solid color like this:I wanted something different. It turned out well. The blue to left and right of the speedo make it look even better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 luvly work mate, the soldering looks painstaking, thanx for sharing with us pics of your scionwhat model is the engine code? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFantasticG Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 It's a 2AZ-FE.As a temporary fix until I get my pieces (manifold/exhaust housing on turbo) for coating I was thinking about getting a Turbo Blanket. They are a bit pricey, but a functional and can provide an additional clean look to the turbo.The PTP Blanket in black is what I am eye balling currently.So I got it in. It doesn't like to bend, so I took off the DP. Here is the pictorial results of that.And there ya go. I'll take it out during the day tomorrow to see what kind of temps I see in the rad. fluid.

TheFantasticG Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Honestly, I'd like to import the drivetrain and suspension off a 2006 Xi 4WD Avensis and convert my tC to a 4WD boosted monster... but alas, tis too much money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeN Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Seems like a very cool project, good luck with it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
