Building a Scion tC, for work Options

[hurley97]

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...

it's supposed to be for drag racing

I don't think it's going to get too crazy. I already told the owner this isn't going to be a 12-13 second car like he wants, for that we would need to go into the aftermarket turbo kit world. We won't have a super high budget for this, if Toyota gives us money for aftermarket parts it won't be much. I do want to make it eye-catching but still subtle. We are trying to sell things so everything needs to be readily available and easily dealer installed if need be. Weight reduction is definitely in the future plans.

We started installing the supercharger today. Probably finish that up tomorrow sometime. The exhaust is already on. I can knock out the shifter pretty quick.
