currently, the kit's at paint, that will be back on wed while we pick up the tC in SD for final reassembly and install on the parts that still havent made it onto the car. We'd like to give thanks to all our sponsors for this project and are looking forward sema this year.

I like the way the pipes are routed. Interesting to use the stock airbox. Also whats with the Injen couplers on the intercooler piping? It is looking good. I just dotn like the rim choice. I like enkei but they dont look good on the tC. But from the pics I have seen i give it a 6 out of 10. But of course thats with only seeign bits and pieces.

Injen is a company we work closely with on many various projects. They have supplied the piping for us to make our intercooler setup as well as the couplers and other various pieces. That's why it's there =) The car will look much better once in one piece. These pics were taken a couple days ago. Thanks again for checking in on the thread.

thanks! currently we havent decided if thats the final setup for the turbo. i personally wanted a smaller turbo itself as it is a auto. we'll see after sema. we're kind of at a point where what's done is done for now. redo's are saved for later =)

Dude the car was done. It was at SEMA. I am sorry but i wasnt really impressed by it. I like the audio setup. Just not a SEMA car in my aspect. Wouldnt have been bad for HIN or something though.

hey everyone sorry for the lack of updates. just been busy with the family business for a moment. the tC is finished but actually going back into various shops to get things reworked to exactly what needs to be done.
highvoltage. if you don't mind me asking, what are you expecting out of the tc for a sema car? if you are looking for a crazy widebody and paintjob, this wasn't the type of project. i think ive clearly stated in the very start of this thread, once all said and done the car can be returned completely back to stock, and that the vehicle will be used as a demo vehicle for the various parts that my company will have available on it's website for sale once mr langford finishes the site lol. if your looking for crazy work, thats what the previous m2 projects were. this project in particular was built on a very tight buget and it's not my own personal car. it's my little brothers. i built his car for him out of my own pocket just as a thank you for being a great brother. the tC was put togethor so that he could daily drive it and i could take it to some shows. it's more of a present to my little brother than anything since he loves cars so much. he'll be keeping the car like this for a while, but at the end of it all it'll prolly be a trade in vehicle down the line for something new.

I am not saying its not a nice car. I think SEMA cars require a step above the norm when it comees to making show cars. I did not say it wasnt a nice car. I just said for SEMA it couldve used more. But you guys did a good job piecing it together and that is great that it can easily be turned back to stock. Your always gonna have people who think there couldve been more. But again its not a bad car. As a DD that would be a sweet ride to have.
And Joeschizo i was being snappy. That post doesnt even look snappy. If you want snappy i couldve been like um yea a lil late there buddy. But there wwas no need. i was just letting ya know. Thats all. So clam down everybody not trying to cause anything just offering my opinion.
