Ok, so here's my project...
The plan was to get Toyota to fund our dealership in making a Scion tC into a race car. The owner is getting a little antsy in waiting for them to get back to us and wants to start doing something now and if Toyota gives us money we'll make it into a full on race car. I have to bring it to an event that is being held by Scion, the deadline is March 20th. Then if we get the go ahead from Toyota the first event is in April. The Car: 2007 Scion tC Flint Grey Mica 5spd Manual has about 2,900 miles on it      The proposed transformation: Parts on Order (for now): TRD Supercharger and engine cover TRD cat back Exhaust TRD Quickshifter TRD Lowering Springs TRD 5-Spoke Wheels in Black Yokohama Parada Spec-2 Tires       I'm not used to having to make things so flashy, my car is very simple and thats the way I like it. I think I need some ideas on how to make the tC stand out more... -------------------- |

Looks like a good idea, not totally riced out, but tasteful paint scheme. Unlike a pink S2000 that was in a movie.  > I think I need some ideas on how to make the tC stand out more... Weight reduction doesn't cost anything. Remove the rear seats, any extra trim, sound deadening etc.. For a Crazy drag look... Roll cage ? Wheelie bars ? Parachute ??? Have you looked at what the Professionals are doing ? ( If you are looking for $ from Toyota You've got competion though; like Christian Rado.) http://www.toyota.com/motorsports/xplod/dr...stian_rado.html http://www.world-racing.com/releases_html/071107willow.doc http://www.world-racing.com/presspages/jul...uperstreet.html http://www.world-racing.com/presspages/dec05superstreet.html A rwd dragster look ? http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=124492 Good Luck on the Project !
