stock contest need help

[firemantc87]

so me and my friend are having a stock contest and race i have an 08 tc stock and he has a 91 vw vr6 stock we both have 2 g to spend to do what evr we want and at the end of july we will race to see who is faster so i need help for all the parts i can get for that much money in andvance THANK YOU!!!

[Vmix06]

i would go for the simple stuff like I/H/E and if u have enough in the end try and get a fly wheel or a short shifter if u have a standard tC

[TBITB]

I/H/E, s-pipe, pulley, short shifter, better tires - that may put you at the brink of 2 grand

[JRBRUIN7@aol.com]

I agree with TBITB, those mods that were listed should put you at about 2K, if you spend some time to shop around then you can most likey save yourself a little bit of money.

cool thanks any suggestions in brands and i saw a cheap ecu chip made by surge but i dont know how reliable that is. says i can add about 10 hp. thanks again all.

[navylife59]

Are ya joking or serious about the cheap chip? The Toyota ECM's are not easily fooled by cheap.

[TBITB]

yea dont skimp on price with something like computer chips! for your "contest" you should be good with the stuff we've mentioned.

intake - dont think it matters too much which intake you get - $200-$250
header - go with WeaponR cuz it comes with the S-pipe as well - $489
exhaust - GReddy, HKS, Injen are the best - $370
tires - almost anything is better than the stock ones
- i have kumho ecstas - $72 per tire on tirerack.com
pulleys - a little over $150 i think
short shifter - $75-$170

taking the high end of this list puts you at $1717 (before shipping of course)

wow thanks alot!!

[beyond305]

strip your car! this is free and will help you alot..im surprised none of you mentioned this. Take out your spare tire and tire wrench along with the jack. you will loose a good 45-50lbs right there. Your racing a v6 so your going to want to make your car a bit more quicker on the acceleration. Get a pulley, intake, header, exhaust and lightweight rims with the rest of the money.

[TBITB]

WOW good idea Beyond305! since it's only a one time deal, take your front passenger seat out too! that's probably 40-50 lbs as well!

[Soulbane]

I say 100 shot of nitrous.

[beyond305]

hah and why not the rear rear seats aswell?

[Vmix06]

heck man take out the spare wheel jack front and back seats all at once lol

[TBITB]

i might just do that today just for the heck of it! lighten up!

o and empty the windshield wiper resevoir! and when it's time, run near an empty tank of gas! every little bit of weight counts!

[Soulbane]

Strip the entire car, run on a 1/4 tank of gas.

Run 50-75 shots of nitrous, and spend the remaining money on intake, s-pipe, exhaust, and header.

In that order.

No way you will lose.

[navylife59]

All great ideas. Club-tC has a sticky on shedding weight on the tC.

Listed are some heavy metal brackets that can be removed that were there just for the Scion's joyride cruise from Japan.

[firemantc87]

so i just bought an injen cai and an injen ses exhaust spent almost 650 for both. any suggestions on a specific header or somethin else to pick up some hp.

[Vmix06]

no to megan headers and a yes for weapon R headers they seem like they are worth it to me

[TBITB]

+1 for the INJEN Exhaust! finally someone on this forum joins me!

go with weapon-r header cuz it comes with the s-pipe

[bdis3]

weapon r header. NOW! add a GT-R emblem. +300HP!!!!
