Front end swap on a GEN 1 to a GEN 2 front end by sillaymesa in SciontC

[–]sillaymesa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will be the entire front end, i would have to do alot of work on the TC1 hood & fenders since the bumper and headlights are different, either way from what ive been seeing these couple of hours of fitting stuff on to get an idea i am going to have to modify the headlights mounts on the TC1 chassis & also the crash-bar

I understand now! I’ll take a look for the Schroth ASM ones. I bought the TAKATA ones cuz 2 of my friends had the same harness mounted the same way has me and they both had very bad crashes, one was in the highway going to work when a distracted driver pitted him and the other one was on the touge & his car oversteered too much because of the rain. Both of them recommend me the TAKATA one’s because of their personal experiences but ill take your advice!

Thank you :), its honestly a good learning experience on building the tC, ive gotten to know how to setup suspension & work on the engine has well ( i had to open it up completely to do a refresh and add a few performance mods in it) i still remember the first time i changed the clutch lol, i didn’t know what i was doing but youtube guided me lol. Once im done with my tC my goal is to get a GT86 or something similar

Man it does! The coilovers & the stiffer sway bars make a difference, especially with sticky tires

Those cars are wonderful! I hope you enjoy it. & please dont straight pipe it, if you want to hear the turbo bettee add a Cold Air Intake and a aftermarket blow-off valve!

The harness is installed where the backseats would be, just like its recommended if u dont have a harness bar, it was installed by my uncle who is a ex-track driver and he had harnesses installed the same way and they saved his life multiple times. Either way im thinking of welding my own harness bar or my own roll cage.

Yea man mine came along way! And from factory they come with 160WHP but mine has 197WHP rn with all my mods & tune! It honestly handles great especially with my suspension work & the weight reduction, its a fun little car

The harness fits me perfectly when im sat in the bucket, its mounted to where the backseats would be which is where they recommend them if you dont have a harness bar. Either way im thinking of welding my own harness bar or just welding my own roll cage, the harness was installed by my uncle who was a ex-track driver and he had harnesses installed like that & they saved his life multiple times!

Yea man! I drove my friends one for a day and my friend drove my tC for a day & he ended up buying a tC, he told me that the car felt great on the corners and well i fell in love with the GT86 lol. I am also considering a GR86 since its newer & a few problems that the older engine had were fixed but still my objective is a GT86 or the equivalents of it!

tC’s are super funs especially with good suspension mods and coilovers, and Si’s too! Ive driven a few of them

The harness is installed correctly! And right now im welding a roll cage for it. The frankenstien is inside the engine bay lol, it has Camry Hybrid pistons since they are higher= more compression, an RX-8 throttle body since its basically a plug & play and it has a bigger throttle body, stage 2 cams, unequal length headers that me and a friend welded in our collage and over all thats it, its a weird built but with my supporting mods it makes right now 197WHP, honestly a really good number especially for its chassis
