Love it or hate it? Rally inspired Scion tC

[AZ4FNER]

OK, so it may not be to everyone's liking, but I can appreciate his originality! :trophy:

My DD is a tC, and I was cruizin' around on scionlife.com and found this build thread.

Wes's Off-Road Scion tC - Scionlife.com

Thought you all might enjoy!

It's different. My wife use to have a tC with a 5 speed, it was a fun little car to drive.

That's sick Haha

That passenger airbag should make a nice projectile out of the windshield should he ever come down on the nose too hard.

Other than the massacre of the dash its pretty neat. Any videos of it in action?

I love the car and the thread.

 

[Blackdot]

I hope he didn't buy it new. Hopefully he found one with a salvaged title then hacked it up. All he needs now is an Australian Shepard and leathers and it will complete the Mad Max look.

My rally cars never looked like that.

Running some black market items for the cartel south of the border there?

The lights on the roof look out of place and would look better recessed behind that hideous abomination you'd call a front bumper. Similar to the way you see the lights in the lower valence of your typical WRX

I also agree that the dash is FUBAR. I like what he was going for with the build, but think it was done in poor taste. Looks ghetto.

That's pretty hideous for a car that is for the street unless he actually races it in rallys he wasted a decent car. Is the suspension fully upgraded too or did he just trash the interior for the "look".
I'd be embarrased to drive that around town. I haven't heard the term "ricer" in a while but it could apply here unless it hits the dirt roads in actual competition.

It does get used ...

Wes seems like a good kid, and I'm sure that project will teach him a lot one way or another.

Personally if I had to pick a Scion to "trail drive" though I would want this XD

Visually I think it looks awful (ok, awful is a strong word). That being said, I know that the owner did NOT build that to be seen. I bet it is a blast to rally around in and I would love to get behind the wheel of it. Better yet, I would love to sit copilot with someone who really knows how to drive it.
