Thanks!
I got it from
http://www.hicusastore.com/
he sells on ebay, but only does auctions and no buy-it-now's, and the bids go up to about 130 + shipping. I emailed him and he called me back telling me i could pick up since I'm local and i got it for way less.
oh wow, hm maybe i will start to drive it then. I still need to strip my last wheel of its bronze-ness, so after that, i may start to drive it around. and yeah, the first floor would be doable if there was actually room TO angle in.. it's even harder in a long-butt car like the sc. we should do a photoshoot one day on the roof. i can bring my d90.
Lol, I haven't done any shots of the tC lately, but I will try. i haven't washed either cars since september either, but the rain's doing part of that job for me. I'll try to get more pics up soon too.
Thanks a lot! i really appreciate it. Yeah, i agree, the interior, is nice but not 100% to my taste either, but w/e i'm not a hardcore interior person anyway. I'm just glad it's in good condition.
The basics are actually not bad at all. I had tein ss-p coils on my tC and now function and form, but the ride quality on the basics surpass both, which makes me wonder why i daily the tC instead of the sc.. It's def not stock-standards but it also doesn't have the spine-breaking feel that I'm used to.
Thanks!
Nice! did you meet up with him in person?
Thanks!
Thanks a lot guys! Damn, this community's so much more awesome than the scion one hahaha

Nope, I was going to but it wasn't worth it to pick up. I got it BIN. They used to sell for $200-300 and I was going to buy it then for that price.. luckily it went down. They must be making a bunch because they're letting it go cheap now and I see a lot of people starting to pick it up

I love your interior. Especially what you've done w/ the a-piller and door. BEautiful color combo!!!!!
Also, the RPF1's look really killer!
What are do you plan for the car when it's finished?

I'll try to get closer-up pics.
Does it really? i've never been there, but I'm in rowland hts, around walnut/diamond bar where the 60 meets the 57.
TBH, I cheated. I parked it on an incline and have 140 lbs worth of weights in the trunk just to make the rears as low as the fronts. Without the weights, I'd get a pretty raked stance.
That's without weights, but it's kiiinda hard to see.. sry about that
I'm not too sure, but looking through pics of Lips, it looks like a vega cf lip. It used to be CF, but because it hangs so low, the previous owner ended up cracking it and primering it i think, or just sanded it down.
