2008 Scion tC: Gulf States Toyota/Secret Services Auto Build
Here is a pretty sweet Tc Gulf States approached us at Secret Services to build for them to demo at car shows. Unfortunately a custom Secret Services turbo kit didnt fit the budget but the car is still pretty cool in my opinion. Came to the shop completely stock off the showroom floor with less than 100miles on it and here is how it is with just a few mods left to do:thumb:
Here are the mods:
2008 Scion Tc Automatic
Dezod Turbo kit
Tial 38mm Wastegate
HKS Super Sequential BOV
2.5 inch intercooler piping
AEM FIC piggyback
Tuner by Chris(Bugermass) on 6psi
TRD Coilover suspension
TRD axle back exhaust
TRD Sport Steering Wheel
Rota wheels w/Yokohama
Carbon Fiber hood and rear hatch(hatch not yet installed)
Wilwood Big Brake kit
HID headlights
Bride seats with custom Secret Services brackets
I dont know too much about the kit because it was supplied by Gulf States Toyota but I hear its popular. Honostly im not impressed and we here at Secret Services are eager to build a kit of our own that is much more efficient and better quality so hopefully another Scion tC getting dropped off for a complete custom turbo system will be in the works in the near future. If anybody is seriously interested in making horsepower and turboing their Scion in the Houson area please message me because we are looking for a test vehicle to do some R&D as far as building a turbo kit and supporting mods from the ground up. Obviously it would be a good thing for us aswell as the vehicle owner so just pm for more information if interested.
Next on this one is a complete 5-axis lip kit I beleive and the carbon fiber hatch needs to be installed. It was left like this so it could be taken to the Scion Expo tomorrow but will be coming back to get the finishing touches.
Thanks to the guys at Gulf States Toyota for letting us tear apart a brand new car

They supplied the valve cover aswell lol. We got almost everything TRD makes for the car to install but not all of it applied. They also gave us a short shifter and lsd that was not used.
Next on the list for the car is harnesses and harness bar, 5-axis lip kit(i believe), carbon fiber hatch(needs to be installed), and a complete custom wrap job on the car

i like how the car looks good. the seats and wheels i am liking alot as well as the pre-panda look. only cons are the scion nav but hey if they supplied it then you can't complain same as the supercharged engine cover but that has been said already.
what's wrong with Rotas?
