    Rediculous comment seriously man now while i agree 341whp is kinda useless with a fwd car i can appreciate the time and effort put into this car and the quality too say the least it wasnt just thrown together

    soo nothing was a "waste" goodjob man
    I never said the car was bad. I was talking about adding power to it, weight transfer makes FWD have terrible traction when power is applied. Why mess with the power when it won't do any good unless you have a wheelie bar and slicks on the car. 225-250 is the MOST I would ever put on a FWD car. 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.

      definitely respect the power and quality of parts, just not a fan of the package. just too much carbon, logos, stickers, colors and such for my taste. i think this is a case of half as many mods would make twice as much impact.

        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.

              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.

                  ok??, i was tuned at 341 on 12 psi with all of the components i have, and mods to a "basic" turbo setup these numbers run about the norm, thanks for the info though. Calibration on that specific dyno makes a world of difference, there are many different calibrations that have got to be zeroed in, so you want me to waste my money on getting on a different dyno so i can prove your theory right, that likely wont happen, the tuner i trust uses dynojet, so that will be all i am tuned on.

                      so you're trying to get the feel of the jet to your car?
                      great work, this is a project i can appreciate more than any lowered piece of crap with nicely edited photos. my only objection is the cf, too much is an understatement.

                        woke up this morning, and felt the itch for something different....with that said, would someone who has substantial photoshop skills, chop these pics up with NEON green, yellow and pink, looking to change up engine bay and wheels, thanks, i would appreciate it!!!

                          Nice parts, I can appreciate the work and cashish that went into this.

                          It's a bit too much power for a fwd car IMO. But I'm sure some of the power is offset by the subwoofer, wires, batteries, amps, and playstation2...
