SVicksTC Boosted Panda Scion TC *TOTALED* Pick Up New Car Tomorrow 5/29!

[SvicksTc]

Hey, whats up. My name is Steve. I figured I would start a members journal not only for other to see the build, but more for say a persoanl car diary from stock to whatever it ends up being....

Ill start off first by introducing my previous car which I managed to total March of 2007.....It was a 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S and was my first car at the age of 15...As you can see from the exterior I was young and had my ricer stage, although everything else was built with high quality parts...My suspension setup was redic...I use to give some scarey rides.....I have to give credit to the previous owner for doing a lot of the work on the car, Joe. Like I said this was my first car, and coming with a ton of aftermarket parts on it already I felt like that was sweet. Then I grew up a little and starting changing things to what I visioned....

To see a list of Mods of The Celica:

Story/Goal: Staying in the Toyota Family I then moved on to an 2005 Super White Scion TC 5-speed which i bought the car stock. After about of month of looking for clean wrx's, and srt-4's, when i saw the TC i was immediatly drawn to it, took it for a test drive and the rest is history. The car was not the fastest thing in the world, but sure had some nice torque to it. My friends even pulled up to the lot and where like, "sweet car", "another girls car, haha." But them knowing it wasnt going to stay stock for long they abliged. Remember letting WetSSbolt drive it when i got it, he was like you gotta boost this bitch....Obviously seeing my last car, and going into buying another sports car I wasnt waiting for the mod bug to bite, i bit it ! As my age grew so did my taste in mods as you will see. I was always very exterior and audio minded, and never really dipped into huge performance mods, yet anyway . My goal was for a simple, yet aggressivly clean car haha if you get me....

damn howd you afford that celica when you were 15 lol tc is sweet celica not so much lol

[SvicksTc]

ya like i said i was young with the celica, minus the graphics though i think it was a pretty sweet car ha, had an amazing suspension setup and some sticky tires

[Racersky]

either it's the picture or that looks like the stage 0 with no fmic. A person I know has a zpi stage one and their turbo looks bigger than that. Either way nice pickup.

[lownslow95]

Nice car. Not a big fan of TC's, but yours isn't so bad.

[Ace]

The tail lamps are entirly to black for me...

If you can't take criticism, you're in the wrong hobby. I didn't degrade, poke fun, or talk down on him in anyway. Just stating my opinion.

Not freaking out at all, I just assumed you were one of 'those types'. My fault.

[cmr076]

ZPI = a bunch of freaking thieves... my buddy bought a 350z from one of the guys there and they burned him badly (turned out the car was stolen from out west).... i guess thats why there no longer in business either way they make some solid TC parts

[mg23]

gratz on the boost steve.. you best take me for a ride when i come home!

[SvicksTc]

ya ZPI has a horrible reputation, and did take a ton of money from people who ordered from them, im talking people dropped over 5 grand plus for turbo kits and never got them....Talk about some bad business, but they did make solid parts, i just got all my parts in the mail so im just waiting for a weekend to bolt that kit on and get a tune.....

and i ditched all the stickers for some Team Panda Stickers ha...

[SvicksTc]

turbo timer installed so thats one less thing out of the way

[SvicksTc]

Well its been forever since ive made this thread, forgot about it until wetssbolt (wes) told me to make a members journal..... So Im bumping this thread from the dead...

A lot has been updated in my mods list and when i first made this thread, i was in the process of putting the turbo kit on my car.....The most recent picture of my car is my avatar.....

I have a lot more to do to the car to get it to what i want and have some parts i still need to install at my house, just not having the time with the weather and school starting back up....
