trust me i don't like the fact i live in hagerstown. we do have a lot of nice and very fast cars but they usually stay in hideing for the most part. but the rice is plentiful.


Car is being put on hold until further notice. Work will continue pending on if i get the new toy i want or not. I will keep you all posted.

UPDATE ON THE TUNE. It went ok but a few little issues that are causing my performance to be less than expected have shown themselves. Now I have to resolve them when I get the chance and it will be back to PTuning for the finishing touches.

tell me about it man...i mean I dont have much of anything done to my car because I cant afford it but the rice around here in hagerstown is horrible. At my school theres about 7 of them 3 CRX's 3 civic's and 1 riced out GSR and they think that they are so cool and always try and race. They've come up to me tons of times trying to get me to race them or at least play a game of chase with them leaving school and its really not worth my time. I get alot of people wanting unfair races too, like SRT-4's coming up to me at lights and wanting to race just so they can feel cool and blow my doors off. One of these times i'll be in the miata (recent dyno showing 275 to the wheels) and they wont get their stupid little win.

There are alot of nice cars around hagerstown though as well. I've seen a few supras, I know they guy who owns the black one, and theres a red top secret supra ive seen at 1320 motoring a few times. Theres a yellow one that ive seen 2 girls driving before and then there was a grey one that ive only seen once and that was as he flew by on long meadow road as i was waiting to turn out. Theres a few exotics in town as well. I've seen 2 Ford GT's 3 Ferrari's 1 Lambo and a few Lotus's. They just dont come out much.

yeah the red one that has top secret on it is alex's. he also has and sti that is fully built, and he has the orange S2000 thats fully built. the black supra is an n/a thats been swapped, and the yellow one that always has a girl driving is just n/a. not fast. there are a few civics that you have to watch out for. one that just started coming out is owned by justin gossard. its a yellow hatch that put down over 600hp on 1320's dyno. he has always had nice hatches. then a buddy of mine has a civic coupe that is built now. he use to run 11's on a stock ls motor.

so there are a few things in this town to look out for but they are the ones that keep more to themselves unless something else nice comes out looking for them.

[b]So as you can see i've never posted. I'm farely new to the tC and Club Scion tC. But i've had expierence with racing. My first race with my tC i raced a mustang GT 4.6 with an intake and exhaust.
at the light we both signaled for the OK and waited until green. when green drop i droped my clutch at about 2200 rpms and pulled him straight out the dig, and kept pulling him all the way through 4th. then he let off. so i won my first race in my tC, which feels so good. i saw the guy lipping to him self what the fuck does he have done to that car. lol i started busting out. i learned that day, people think 4cyl engines are extremely slow, but are extremely shocked to see their baby V8 with around 255 hp lose.

would get a vid but i was running errands for the madré and it was on the spur of the moment lol

can't wait to put some mods on my stock beast. then i'll really be pullin some people out of ditches my goal is to be able to beat an evo by the end of my senior yr in hS

What year was it?
My friends 2006 4.6L = 300bhp without mods! (3400 curb)

You have 160bhp? without mods...(3000 curb)
It seems odd!

yeah Alex has the S2k for sale. It was the first S2k to make over 650hp if I understood the guys there at 1320 right. I knew the black one was a swap. Its owned by Mickey he lives near me. I've seen the yellow hatch your talking about. I'm not likely to mess with any of them lol I just tend to drool over the supra's and the STi's.

What? I know what WHP and BHP is I never even said anything about WHP we don't know the WHP on these two cars. Unless we asume 15% loss, 255hp vs. 136hp. That doesn't change much the tc is still way out numbered.

Yea, my 16.0 vs his 16.23. His launch must have been really bad cuz I had the jump on him from the start and the rest of the race was him slowly creeping up on me. I'm sure if it was longer then a 1/4 he would've passed me

thats weird...both times actually. was your 16 stock? if so, then ok, but if its after mods, that's not too great, you should be low 15's. and the new si's are low 15's also, so that's weird too. so unless you're stock, both of you guys need to practice driving, lol, no offense. but good kill though i wasn't doubting the kill, i was in awe about those times, lol

Haha yea, the times are pretty slow but if you factor in the climate/humidity/altitude then yea, you will get slower times Cars here run half a second or more slower than stateside.
