there should be a stanced tc photoshoot cause it looks like a lot of people are stepping up their game in socal

 

@ domo - thanx man, I'm running 2 camber bolts per side so that's 4 in total on the whole car. The box said they're eibachs but the wrapping on it said it was spc... I'll just say they're spc to play it safe ha

@ tc913 - maybe we should make one eh? I was really bummed out when I found out they don't do scion nights at knotts. So maybe we or someone can start a scion nights exclusive?... Ha just a thought

 

i would be down but prob just a shoot, cruise and maybe dinner??? i dunno who's gonna be taking the shots since i have no camera. everyone will be welcomed though but it's tough to actually get people to commit.

 

You should have kept the kami...the kit stanced with those wheels would have looked amazing

 

@ tc - ya tha would be pretty sick. That's why I just go to the FoS meets. These guys don't only feature balling cars on thousand dollar rims. I can ask them if theyre willing to do a shoot again. If so, I'll let ya know.

@ young - ya man, a stances tC on a kami kit would look sick, but my wheel gap was horrible. I'd have to be running at lease 19s in the front and 20s in the rear to get the look that I want, cambered, slammed and all. And going up/down driveways with a fiberglass kit isn't a safe walk in the park haha

 

So I see you decided to get a lip, I knew eventually u would even though u said no. Hahaha

 

Hah I got it on, kinda debating about keeping it and how long it'll last... I'll post pics when I get home. It's funky... yet clean

 

It's a home depot lip? Oh by the way happy B-Day buddy!

 

Wow Hec, you psychic or something? Ha, and thanx for the greeting.

So went to home depot and decided to make my front end a lil bit lower than it should be. I already bottom out one speedbumps in my garage complex so putting something that won't come off on bumps while giving that illusion of being low is what I think is *genius* not to mention, it's cheap! Don't judge ha







... and this is what it looks like with it on ...

 

And all the new cars are coming out with something like this, kinda like a curb protector. And it doesn't really butcher the whole stock look I was trying to go for

 

Not a fan of the garage door liner. But an OEM lip would really do this car justice.

 

Cars loook super good. I like how its 17s in the front and 18s in the back. Unique.

 

Thanx man, I've always wanted that look to kinda manipulate the lines of the car. I was about to jump on some brand new rota grids 17x9.5 in the front and 18x10 in the rear but I just couldn't say no to this lip haha

 

Im lovin the way this car looks. I like how it has a stock look but slammed. You give me some good ideas to start modifying my tc....keep it up man.

 

Thanx sharptc, glad to be of help. When you do start modding, make a build thread. It's fun to look at one's progression.

So I got another alignment at _________. Apparently I'm running -4.5 camber in the rear and -3.5 in the front. Semi trippin out because I don't see much dailies running these specs.

The toe was zero'd out, but there were a couple problems with this place...

1) They wouldn't even put it on the rack because my rear tires were bald, plus they had bubbles near the sidewall from the previous owner. So I got new tires at 714Tires for a great deal.

2) The alignment guy was urging me to reduce my camber in the rear to prevent camber and excessive tire wear, which was hella annoying...

3) They wouldn't touch my front camber at all until I had my OEM camber bolts on hand because they don't want to be liable for any future damages. That's understandable...

BUT if I wanted to run "a lot" of camber, have 2 camber bolts to exceed -1.5 degrees for clearance, and have my wheels sit flush with my fenders, then why am I here?! I So, apparently if you want to roll "unsafe" and "extreme" don't go to this place.

Before I left, I realized, why am I tripping out a out my specs? If my rear wheels sit flush without rubbing, and my front wheels can turn all the way without rubbing, my nuts/bolts are torqued to hell, and my tires are inflated, I should be doing pretty damn good with my set-up... Well thanx anyways Wheel Warehouse for adjusting my toe...

 

Will do man I just don't know where to start lol...the only thing I've done is put a new grill set in..

 

Dude I run whatever the max possible camber is in the rear and like -4.5 up front so dont worry. I daily and its the fronts thatll kill you not the rears. They never wear excessively. The fronts will with the wrong toe adjustments.

 

^^^ thanx for the reassurance. Its a lotta camber but man it looks sexy. I'm gonna be painting my calipers black hopefully by next week. Will I have to get another alignment after I remove my wheels or is all that ish heresay to try and get your money?

 

Hey Sharp, the first thing I would recommend to anyone is a drop. Regardless springs (preferably tiens) or coils, you gotta learn to drive the car lowered. All the other stuff can wait haha

 

No u don't need an alignment only time u will need one is if you adjust your coilovers, or adjust ur camber bolts then that will throw off your toe and caster specs which then you will need an alignment to get it close to stock spec(0.0) again
