Like I said, it has nothing to do with CARB. Federal emission standards require having at least the number of cats as the OEM set up. That means, you can go more cats if you like

In anycase, I honestly don't care if you don't give a crap about CARB as you shouldn't, living in TN. However, like I said, it's still a federal offense to delete one of the two or both cats on the tC. Having said that, I still don't care if you don't give a crap because honestly, the chances of getting caught anywhere other than major metropolitan dominated states are low enough to not care. In fact, living in California, I myself don't really worry about getting caught for CARB.

Perhaps I'm one of very few but I want to retain at least somewhat of a semblance to the ULEV rating the car came with.

But that's just me.

 

This goes without a question. We do not deal in half assed findings. This is why we have taken SOOOOO long thus far in R&D, fitment, troubleshooting...

Joe daily drives the tC, so we get tons of driving in all types of conditions, and he also tracks it on the weekends too. We get the better of both worlds.

Yes it is a shame what happened with the Scion Speed issue, however we are taking more than enough time to get all the kinks and such worked out so that we have a kit that I am proud of saying is mine.

 

As impatient as we all are, we rather have perfection, than something released sooner and half-assed.

Keep up the good work fellas!

 

Thanks for the support fellas!

 

Clutch is almost there guys. I plan on racing again tomorrow night. Maybe it'll hold from 3rd on this time lol...

For any NE peeps... Email me your cell if you're planning on going to NE dragway in Epping NH tomorrow night. I'll be there.

 

He'll be there for autograph & photo opps for a limited time.

 

Joe's track results are as follows:

1st run: 13.8 @ 103 w/ crappy traction
2nd run: Shattered Axle after getting traction

SUCKS! 1st company to make enough power to shatter a tC tranny.......YEAH! THAT sucks. We'll keep you posted.

 

That's some nice #'s. Except for the #'s to repair the axle! man o man

 

Sweet we have axle breaking power now .

 

so it looks like we gotta buy beefy axles now... SAWEEET!

 

man sorry to hear that! is that going to delay the kits? I wish there was somthing I could do to help.... I know you'll guys be able to figgure somthng out!


btw paul got any videos??

 

ScionSpeed was actually to first to shear an axle but they SUCK!!! Dezod and ZPI owns.

 

Man o man, all the accessories needed are gonna kill me!

 

Damn. I was fearing somthing like this. I wanted a stage 1 so as to not have to upgrade any internals. I figured the clutch, but not the axle. Damn.

 

I guess we over-engineered the kit a bit. I think the instant traction was more of an issue than the torque itself. I rev'd slightly higher than the first launch, but had more traction, and the extra torque was just too much apparently.

Vids in a couple...

 

Sorry for the blury recording... My friend didn't know how to use a camcorder. The first vid is th 13.8@103mph pull. 2.1 60'. 80mph 1/8th mile.

Need to build a beefy one of those now

 

Yeah I'm looking at what company we should be talking to to get some custom/future production ones made. Paul... You should have been in the car on both of those runs man...
