Check this out guys. Since my LS has been in the performance shop longer then I actually had it in my garage, I was playing with my econobox a little bit. Built a little frankenstein of a sound system from spare parts in my garage and won world finals in car sound with it. That was almost a year ago and this article have just come out today.

Nice car. Its a shamed I didn't get to listen to your car back when RJ had that meet at his house. I wanted to listen but everyone lined up before I did Supposedly your horns are awesome

I feel stupid for selling my Image Dynamics CD3Ultra. Could have potential

tzu911

Congrats. I've always liked the scion line up.

bruce van

Wow. That's a very, very, very long list of mods you've done to the car.


How many man hours do you think you've put into the Scion?

LexT

i love the ride bu u linked to the same magazine page 3 times

retrodrive

Thanks guys. Fixed the links. there were actually 3 pages.

I have not dynoed the car yet since the turbo setup is incomplete. I still need an intercooler andbigger injectors. As of now it should be around 220-240fwhp...it is a quick car and it is a blast to drive with my suspension setup. Motor is all stock running at 6psi right now. I am sure if I tune it right, I can put down same kind of power with 4 psi (others do).
I am still playing around wih audio because I can do it better then anything else in cars. I have no time to lean new things

GSteg: There is always next time. I'll have this same setup for a while.

Hameed

Congratulations!!!

That is just amazing - the level of detail and amount of work put into your car's audio system (as well as other mods you did ofcourse to the rest of the car).
