gonna move this to "other meets"
The Ptuning Tc will be at our shop this Saturday. Scion is going to send a flatbed to haul it back to the Baltimore corporate office on Monday. And next week, it's going to a Toyota/Scion dealer convention in San Antonio, TX.
On Sunday, Sept. 10, Scion is holding a "Bounty Hunter" event. It's basically a 4-state wide scavenger hunt, the top price is $10,000. We we're invited to attend the event, we will display the Ptuning Tc, and our project Xb at our booth. So if you're friend is interested in attending this event in Maryland, here's the link:http://www.scionevolution.org/forum/vie ... ter#158391
Here's the info on Scion website: http://www.scion.com/bountyhunters/
Look forward to meeting you guys. Here's some pics of the tc at the last SEMA IAS in PA:

Installer?...hum maybe, how about track-side support team? We are very interested in pursuing the Redline Time Attack event for next season. Does anyone know how many members here have participated in the previous time attack (mainly Summit Points)?
For next season, we will try to put together a Ptuning-sponsored team for the time attack event at summit points. We would be interested in sponsoring a few experience members with a competitive car in their respective class. We will work on the sponsorship details later, but it will/may include, covering entry fee, track-side support, additional discounts on parts & labor.
We are not into building a car and hiring a professional driver. We want to be the underdog by helping our customers make their everyday driver as competitive as possible, while still being streetable. With any road racing-type events, having a reliable car is key, a fast car that can only last a 1/4 mile before it overheats is not going to cut it.
Your club may be the few clubs out there that are not straight-line oriented. That's why i personally enjoy talking to everyone here. Don't get me wrong, having a 10000000hp 4-banger is nice, but i can't take my kids to chuck-e-cheeses with it.
I will try to make the next meet and bring this up for discussion.

WOW! well uhh if no one is going to volenteer their car, i would love to! I placed 3rd in the street AWD at beaverun with just a turbo back and springs . The champ right now has a nice Evo II, tuned a little with a great driver.
If you want i can make up a short driving resume and email if to you. I would love to have a place like yours help me out. I would need to talk to GTworx but i dont think they would have a problem.

Ross,
Bring your resume to the next meet and we'll talk. I haven't looked at the allowable mods for the redline street class, but do they allow coil-overs. If so you may want to bite the bullet and take it to the next level. At a minimum a "streetable" coil-overs. I've never been a big fan of coil overs for street use, but after ditching my tanabe GF springs for the tanabe Sevens, i'm able to push my car way beyond what i could have imagined with the lowering springs. The amount of body roll has reduced significantly and the sevens are definitely streetable (i can still drive my kids in comfort, without seeing them bounce up and down in the rear view mirror
What were the spring rates on those springs you told me about that gtworx was offering you?

as for the springs I'll have to look them up.
as for coil overs i have been eyeing Ohilns, and KW variant 3's for a little while. But I'm aprehensive because of the cost (2K is more than i want to spend at the moment) and the ride.
For now the plan was beefy sways and those springs and see how i do from there. I also want new rubber soon, but we'll see if i need it or not.

We all know it takes more skill to drive fast on the grass than it does on dry pavement. I'll put you on the top of our recruit listzaxrex wrote:I drove Summit Point for the HPDE, not the actual competition.
I did a straight line through a turn when my tires & rear brake lines decided to give up. I was that fastest man in the grass that day!
Does that count?
