That's what I'm actually hoping for with a Scion version of the car. I have 5 years experience with this motor, I know what it's capable of, and I enjoy it. Don't have anything to do with Scion. If it was under Toyota, that wouldn't change my opinion about there being a Boxer engine in it vs a Toyota 4banger. I would still want a Toyota 4Banger. |

Let me guess, you thinking of the bad photoshop skills with the tC front end on the front of the FT-86 concept. A car coming out looking like that would not sell, and it's absurd to think it would be that simple to just slap a tC front end onto it and call it a car.....LOL. Eww would be fitting in that situation for sure. |

^roll, typo.
"That's Bad ass" "Do you race?" "Can we take a pic next to your car....Can you take the pic for us". "That's sick" "I don't like Scions but yours is sick" The usual stuff when people respect what you have built. It's all going to change over to Widebody soon enough so I can fit some 18x10's with 285 or 275/35/18 front and 265/35/18 rear. Last edited by Dragonitti; 01-10-2011 at 09:49 PM. |

Ugh, reverse stagger... Completely horrid, despite being functional on FWD...

When you want to be competitive then you have to do what is necessary. I run 225 Kuhmo V710's currently at the track, and she is pretty grippy (UTQG 30 tires). So, I can only imagine the grip I'm going to have when I get up to 275's in the same UTQG range. Going to need it for the target HP goals I have.

I wasn't saying you don't have a nice ride, I was just saying I'm not a fan of scions, if toyota wanted to have sportier cars why not just keep them Toyota instead of new name, and no offense but as of now(assuming the ft will be scion) the TC is the Spot light side of scion, which no offense but wasn't that impressive IMO, but like you, people have made some great things out of that platform and I applaud you effort and results. You have a great looking ride, I think when you go wide body, you should upgrade those tires to some 305's.....
that'd be nasty

Everyone has an opinion about a lot of things. I happen to think the Spot light the tC provided was impressive, especially in today's current most popular Motorsports (Time Attack/Road Racing). I would run 305's if I was pushing 700+whp. 275's should get the job done though. Maybe for the street I'll have some 305's, but I'm going to have one set of rims in 18x10 so that would be a hassle to keep changing tires for the track.
