Working on a scion

[microdot]

Here is my Scion. it was my first paint job I tihnk it turned out pretty good lol. only mods i have are steering suspension and stage 2 motor hope to be adding AWD and maybe some FETs later this week. I cut down the medium springs to lower the car some, and just to see how it would look.

[jabari]

Looks really good.

I like how you cut some of the spokes out of the rims.

Any other modification ideas?

[creepycrawler]

lokking good. my tc sould be up on here soon but i think yours is a bit better lol

[AJB32690]

The pics are kinda small...

Regardless, from what I can see, it looks like its a pretty clean paint good.

The rims however... I never liked three-spoke rims... I think they are ugly.

[microdot]

Yeah the rims and paint are all just trial and error. The paint isnt as clean as it looks it has some imperfections. as far as more modifications I dunno what else to add.

Interesting ride there. I like the color you chose and the wheels are neat (but credit Kaze as he's the first to have done that mod)
Any reason why you chose to paint the front window frame and not the rear?

I probably just didn't tape it off.

I am having some issues tho when i accelerate the car you can hear the motor spinning crazy but the wheels hardly spin and the car goes nowhere. any ideas on what this is?

EDIT
I figured it out i opened the differential gear and found all 3 spider gears had 3 or less teeth left, lol driving it too hard it guess, so I ordered a new one.

[spitfire]

thats awsome. i like the color. i realy like what you did with the three spoke rims.

[firebird999]

teh rims pwn! nicely done!

[microdot]

I added a rear ball diff yesterday since i broke my stock one lol. If anyone buys the ball diff from atomicmods you may notice(if you dont have awd) that the gear will spin almost too freely, but you can tighten the screw on it and almost lock it but this helped me greatly. also forgot i added the open bearing kit



also i got bored and repainted the rims lol



you can see a few spots the paint came off after running it in to walls and it flipping on accident lol

[HUMMER H4]

Nice but i would have painted the rims ither white or all black....

[microdot]

I may go all black, ive been considering redoing the paint again or maybe a different color.

[HUMMER H4]

Hmm if i had a scion tC id make it look like this...http://carsmedia.ign.com/cars/image/...6050800525.jpg

I believe im having a problem with my steering servo. I tried searching google and the forums but i cant find what i am looking for. When i made turns with the car going left the steering made a popping noise, now the car wont turn at all. Ive tried to open the servo and see if any gears are damaged but every looks ok, so if anyone has an idea on what to do that would be nice, I got a feeling I should just buy a new stock servo.

[microdot]

Sry to double post but i wanted to show my paint :P I took your advice HUMMER H4 and i have to say it looks very nice, I also ended up gettin my steering to work.

[amorton94]

looks nice but i'd paint the wheels to...
