A light car is a quick car. Lightening up a car will give it better handling characteristics as well as faster acceleration. The first step in our Project Scion TC Time Attack car is to shed as much pounds as we can. we started off with taking out all sound deadening material.



Put on all joining metal portions, this material is used to make the car more quiet in the cabin reducing the natural creaking of the metal and dampening the outside noise by absorbing vibration.
After extensive removal, we cleaned out every last piece of material in order to maximize the amount of weight we are shaving.





Its like caulk and rubber combined in consistency and since our car is brand new, it was pretty easy to remove.












Having completed cleaning out the car, next we'll start to stitch weld the joining portions of the chassis to increase its rigidity for greater handling, but more on that real soon! Check out the blog in a couple days for more updates!

And so it begins.. Gruppe-S Engineering was awarded a 2011 Scion TC to build into a Street Class Time Attack monster. It is BONE STOCK but that will be changed shortly as we begin the development process on the car stripping it down to its bare bones and rebuilding it into greatness.


Equipped with the Stock Scion TC Powerplant, we plan to utilize forced induction in order to unlock the hidden potential within this Toyota 4 Cylinder.



Yeah we still got the floor mats in this bad boy, and yea

We requested a TC with a good sound system, hitting Apex's shouldnt have to be a quiet and dull process.

Moon Roof? Of course..




So who is the Driver of this car you ask? Lets just say a high profile celebrity in extreme spor.... well I think I've already said too much, I'll let you guys know soon!

Remember him? Couple weeks ago I posted up a picture of our MMA Style Bodybuilder friend with his newly picked up RX-8. He got a Greddy Evo TT installed and couldn't stop right there. He decided he wanted to knock it up a couple notches, and then knock that notch a hell of a lot higher by Turbocharging his Wankels.


And some Footwork because without handling, power is nothing.

Tuning video coming shortly, via my Droid.
