    Just saying, its 341 on a dynojet dyno, from my experience my uncles vette made 358 on a mustang dyno and 405 on a dyno jet, not because a dyno jet is better but because it doenst simulate road load, its kind of like running with the wheels jacked up, hit up a shop with a mustang dyno and see what it makes.im not trash talking honestly i like the work,just giving you a little info. a little too much on the carbon fiber. maybe flat white it and it would look dope.

    , shave and tuck coming very soon!!, and the bay will be cleaned up, that is the only spot really with any stickers, but changes, big changes about to come in the bay!!

More than that is just a headache to try and keep the power on the ground.

    Now, aside from the carbon fiber, PS2, Soundstream, and momo it's not a *bad* car, no where near my cup of tea. Nicely laid out and thought out but I don't like the boy racer look. I sold Scion at my last job (Salesman at Toyota) and they have a horrible clutch and shifter IMHO. I guess I am just jaded though since that dealership put a bad taste in my mouth. Regardless the shifter and clutch on my 92 BMW was tons more responsive than the Tc.

    I appreciate the labor and work but I still don't like the out come. The OP might love it and that doesn't make a lick of difference to him what my opinion is.
    i respect your opinion, but you comment on almost all of what is no longer on the car or in it aesthetically. The power makes this car fun to drive while cruising with tons of m3's and what not when we cruise to cars and coffee, i can manage to be on their level on a performance aspect. Clutch and shift linkage are no longer stock in my car, so that doesnt apply; although your right, i hear you but im not really going to sweat it, the car was built proper and solid with quality parts, made a point not to half a$5 it.

    Side note 341whp on a fwd car is bad news bears. Physics dictates this as a waste of time, energy, and money.

    I think it's a great build. Doesn't really fit into the stance scene, but I like it nonetheless.

    also, if you don't want to lower it, just say so. Normally, the "I dd/bad roads/only car" crap is an excuse. I mean, you built the shit out of the motor so you're not afraid of having a lil backlash. You can't build a Scion with almost 3x's it's stock hp and not have ANY issues along the way. So, when you come on a stance site and get the obligatory "lower it" remark, just say no. You don't need excuses.

    my car is a dd modded family sedan and it's low. Lower than every other non-bagged LX in this city. Lower than most of the VW's..hell, cars period. And I could still lower it. But, to me, it's low enough...so i just say no.

    Was not sure this was going to end well, but I stuck through it and I must admit: Final product looks pretty damn good! Lil too much carbon for me though...

    i appreciate the work put in, but TCs arent my cup of tea really. I also dont think it really needs to go much lower, but a little bit more camber and some spacers all around and it would be sittin' pretty good.
