haha, that might be a little harder than the turbo kit. Although I can promise you the gang would LOVE to prepare another Time Attack/Track car. The fabrication skills at the shop are AMAZING and they can truly do anything they put their minds to. I'd also love seeing a sister PTuning time attack car out there in any class

Oh, I already told Mr C that I would be hitting them up for some Time Attack help . I think the one thing I am really interested in is the Advan RGII wheels that he was talking about. About configuring the car so it could run the aggressive curve on the spokes for the tC instead of the normal straight looking appearance.

MrC
MrC hope you dont mind I was going to post up some of the videos I took of the Ptuning car.
Jester, feel free to post your video. I'm interested in seeing some video of the car myself.

Brian, you have a firewire cable I can borrow, so I can upload what I have in video too?

Sounds like a Jet against the walls of the SpeedWay at WOT.

I know they can help you out with that. Trust me when i say 255's are a LOT of grip for these cars. You'll also be the envy of all your friends with wheels that wide.

There is talk of heading out there, but thats going to require some serious sponsorship and organization. We've love to come out there, and I know the car would do well

Default Re: **PTuning's Red Line T-Attack Debut**

First off, I would like to take this opportunity to thanks our sponsors. Without their support, this weekend would not have been possible.

Progess Technology for supplying us with the custom time attack-spec coil-over suspension setup and rear custom sway bar. Our driver, Ross Miller praised it's superb handling and feedback. We will continue to provide feedback to Progress, to help further develop the coilovers for the Scion tC, in particular for time attack racing.

Seibon Carbon for supplying us with the very strong and lightweight carbon fiber hood and trunk lid. As many of you saw this weekend, with the little incident we had this weekend at 80mph, the carbon fiber hood is not only light, but very strong--strong enough to break the front factory hood hinges, instead of breaking the hood. The hood and trunk is by far the best fitting and best finished carbon fiber components we've seen on the market.

Hawk Performance for supplying us with the DTC-60 and HT-10 racing brake pads on a very short notice. The pads were awesome. According to our driver, they help the car stop like it was hitting a brick wall. The pads provided consistent braking, lap after lap.

Our driver Ross Miller did an awesome job piloting the Ptuning tc this weekend. Driving a new setup on a new course in itself is difficult enough, but pulling off some ridiculous lap times requires some serious skill and a lot of guts. I believe Ross was out breaking everyone coming off the oval onto the first in-field. Thanks for doing such an exceptional job driving the car and also for bringing her back in one-piece.

Also, the Ptuning crew would like to thank Travis, Jester, and the rest of their crew for there support this weekend--the barb fitting you loaned us really came in handy. We really enjoy talking to all of you. If you had fun this weekend, I highly recommend you try to make the VIR event in October. That events is going to be big, especially with the West coast teams making their appearing for the final round of the Redline Time Attack/GT Live. VIR is located near the border of Virginia and North Carolina. There is a possiblity that we will be running a slighlty more radical ptuning tC setup for VIR.

I will try to post some more pictures shortly.

MrC
Let me echo what MrC said, and say without sponsors the achievements we've had would really not have been possible. Let me also say that without the support of the fans, forums goers, and other supporters it would have been a boring weekend. You all made it FUN! I enjoyed talking with everyone that walked by. While I'm not the most technical person I enjoyed explaining the amazing fabrication to people.

I would also like to thank:
Progess Technology for their suspension, and dedication to make tC's even faster on track! Your setup was amazing and I cannot wait to work with you all to improve it.

Seibon Carbon for an amazingly strong product! Our weekend could have been over in an instant, but because of their quality and craftsmanship the damage was minimal.

Hawk Performance for allowing me to go deeper into the braking zones than any other car. I've put hawks on all my street cars and my race cars, because they are the BEST pads out there.

Again, thank you everyone for your support as well . Without you all, we would not be doing this. MrC you are to kind, without the quality engineering and fabrication that went into the car, it would be just another tC. You all transformed the car into a MONSTER, that is 100% reliable!! I'm privileged to drive your car, and I'm already gearing up for summit!

I hope that you all will be able to join us at the remaining events, at Summit Point, and For GTLive at VIR!!!

-Ross Miller

I think something insanely obscured would have to come about in October to stop Brian and Myself from meeting up with you guys at VIR. I can't wait to see VIR, and the transformation you put into the tC. You guys are eating at Rado's heels (I know you are humble about it), but you are going to be chasing the podium finishes along side him, and that would be SUPER interesting. And the More tC's the better, Rado can't have all the fun now can he? LOL...


I see a road trip to your shop in the future. I have to go to my boy's shop first (Houston, TX), and then another trip to PTuning to see how they do it.

Not sure if you are referring tobeing far from VIR or not. But PTunning is even further from you than VIR. Ptunning is up near the Washington DC area. (not in DC but thats a good reference point for you)

Ptuning.... you should release the turbo kit stat . The car looks amazing, and looks like it can scream down the track. I wish I could have gone and talked to you all, but I will have to wait until you are closer or until I can save up and go next year. If you all want a sister car, be my guest on mine! I would love it... though I would probably be a full weight sister car haha...
