Hello everyone,

My name is Tony Khauv and I am representing Meng Motorsports. For those that do not know of us, we are small family owned company dedicated to providing terrific customer service and prices on our products. We have two company TC's as well and are pretty familiar with the vehicle =).

I understand that our website does not have every TC part available listed. So please, in this thread tell us what you want so we don't waste time adding poor selling products!

You can also post reviews and any testimonials about us or our products =).

We carry mostly any performance and lighting product for Scions. Electronics aren't available yet, but we do expect to sell them soon. Shipping is also just $5.00 for any order!

[icanhascheezburger?]

free mods for my car :]

[Uncle_Unix]

Has great prices on HIDs like $80

[1KlntC07]

Nice amount of items. I'll def have to keep you guys in mind for next season.

[zbirdman777]

This guy is legit, I bought my HIDs from him and and had them since July. Great customer service too!

[mengsta]

icanhascheezburger? (http://www.scikotics.com/forums/member.php?u=12032),

I'll keep it noted LOL. If we get big enough we'll definitely give out free products =).

Uncle_Unix (http://www.scikotics.com/forums/member.php?u=3065),

Yup! Price is going to increase after this month.

1KlntC07 (http://www.scikotics.com/forums/member.php?u=13274),

Thanks! We are trying to increase our lineup or products, so visit us often!

zbirdman777 (http://www.scikotics.com/forums/member.php?u=12729),

Glad to see you here! haha this forum seems to be a bit more busy than the one I met you on.

Like I said, Tell Us What You Want! It's not everyday that you see a business ask their customers what parts are hot =). We believe customer recommendations and opinions are important so we try to keep everything noted. Mishimoto products will added next on our plans.

[rstc120]

do you have a Megan Racing Header? i believe its a 4-2-1

[mengsta]

Megan Racing Header will be added! I'm surprised we don't have that up. We have a decent account with Megan. I'll keep it noted and get it added once we get back in the office.

[mengsta]

Just got it added. The Megan is listed as a 4-1. I don't believe they made a 4-2-1 model. From what I know only Tsudo and Weapon-r makes the 4-2-1 model. Still can't beat our Megan prices though!

[Rando]

so sad no love for xb2!!:guns: :ablow:

[JylBish]

Welcome to the site Tony. :welcome:

Please let me know if you need help with anything!

[SpazzySpaz]

Welcome to the boards Tony!

[**BadiNkaDiNk**]

Two things that come to mind that I'm looking into for next season that arent listed is a harness bar. I think Weapon R makes one, and Hotchkis sway bar set.

[mengsta]

Rando (http://www.scikotics.com/forums/member.php?u=9279),

As for products, the XB2 products are listed in the same category with XB1's in the "XB" category. XB products are still in the works, so if you did have some products in mind, let us know! I'll try to add them up ASAP.

JylBish (http://www.scikotics.com/forums/member.php?u=1021) SpazzySpaz (http://www.scikotics.com/forums/member.php?u=1975),

Thanks for the welcome! Let me if you guys/girls have any questions =)

**BadiNkaDiNk** (http://www.scikotics.com/forums/member.php?u=13827),

Seat belt harness bar? I'll try to add that soon! We are planning to get add our lineup of seats, so the harness bar will definitely go along with it. As for hotchkis, we don't even have an account with them. We'll have to contact them soon. But we do have other sway bar companies such as Tanabe, Progress, Suspension Techniques, and H&R.

[mengsta]

Bump! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I wish everyone a Merry Christmas this month.

We just added Magnaflow! we have a pretty deep discount with them. TC cubby panels are also listed! Keep the recommendations coming so we know which products you want!

[mengsta]

WE also just confirmed with Kary that we are going to be in the Scikotics Calender! Meng Motorsports is dedicated to our customers and community.

[rstc120]

sweet

[rstc120]

does GReddy make a header for the tC? and what about Fidanza Flywheels also

[DeadCannon]

Mesh style grills. I saw the billet ones but I'm not a big fan of them on the tC.

[STARK_INDUSTRIES]

different style lip kits.

[mengsta]

I do not believe Greddy makes an exhaust header for TCs. The only headers that comes to mind that we can get are the Megan, DC sports, and Weapon-R. We have an account with Fidanza! I'll try to set up the products up by this weekend!

DeadCannon (http://www.scikotics.com/forums/member.php?u=13783)
I'm personally not a fan of the billet ones either, I'll try to see if I can get others, but I doubt it. grills are pretty down on our list.

[mengsta]

STARK_INDUSTRIES (http://www.scikotics.com/forums/member.php?u=1180)

You're not a fan of the five axis!? haha, what type of lip kits would you prefer? I'll try to keep updating our line-up.

[rstc120]

i love the Five Axis Kit :)

[ciddy08]

just put the site on my favorites list.

any plans for different carbon fiber manufactures?

I just think the above lip kits are a bit more agressive. I guess just a personal preferance...haha

x2 on Carbon fiber products diffinately a CF headliner.

[mengsta]

That's actually a good idea. I'll note the carbon fiber headliner. Keep in mind that we are on other forums and we appreciate all customer feedback. We are trying our best! So I can't promise these products being added the next day =(.

rstc120 (http://www.scikotics.com/forums/member.php?u=13796),

Yeah five axis lip kit rocks!

STARK_INDUSTRIES (http://www.scikotics.com/forums/member.php?u=1180),

I definitely understand where you are coming from though haha. Everyone has their own preference. RS lips are definitely nice, but they are doing great selling it themselves on their website. I don't think it would be best if we started carrying it.

We just started carrying TC cubby panels and are working on updating it with new designs. So we'll be a little busy with that. New carbon fiber products are actually a good idea. Thanks again for the input!

[Hix]

If you could do CF stuff like http://www.shop.retro-spec.net/category.sc?categoryId=22 these cats but add in things like headliner and full side panels that would be tits. If you could make a full CF waterfall or aluminum waterfall I am sure more than one person would purchase it. Also carrying something like AMSOIL for the turbo guys.

NOBODY makes a full waterfall replacement only those vinyl or cf stick on's...

If you could get the ZPI trick shift kit for the autos you could make some coin. Those things were so rare they are all but gone. IPT and Level10 are hella expensive and have no customer service because they are not part of the community.

[mengsta]

Yeah we tried working with carbon fiber companies in the past, they all just require large buy-ins. I'll definitely keep it noted though and try to expand our carbon fiber lineup in the future.

Meng Motorsports is a small family owned business. We definitely appreciate all this feedback in helping us grow.

Hmm I'm not too familiar with trick shift kits, can you explain a bit more?

[mengsta]

Just got an update: we are actually expecting to partner with that carbon fiber company. We will try to work with them and expanding the carbon fiber line up.

So far we got Magnaflow added!

On old domestics it used to mean better oil with extra additives for the automatic, then it developed in to meaning oil + filter + manual valve body. Now it sorta encompasses a assortment of goodies to make the automatic a bit stronger and faster... I believe ZPI had new clutch packs, filter, oil, and a few new resistors. If you could find out the resistor mods that the import guys are using you could do a simple resistor mod + oil + filter + cooler for half the cost of a valve body upgrade and get almost the same results. Right now IPT and Lvl10 have some upgrades for the transmission but they are not specifically for the Scion so they are not that great and cause alot of issues (like the need for a transmission controller on built and semibuilt trannys).

[mengsta]

Oh wow Thanks for the explanation Hix. Its good to learn new things.

I'll have to have someone look into that. I believe Scion's don't come with a tranny cooler at all, correct? So a kit with higher performing oil and cooler would definitely be a cool product to have. We aren't looking into manufacturing so we'll have to try to contact these other companies to see if they are willing to do it. No promises, but I'll definitely have it down. Thanks.

[icanhascheezburger?]

perhaps that tsudo n1 catback? I know a few people were buying it at erzperformance.com before

[XD2O]

These guys are working for us, and they are active supporters of "Scikotics" give em a shot! Now we just need to get you all to make something for the xD! ;)

[mengsta]

icanhascheezburger? (http://www.scikotics.com/forums/member.php?u=12032),

We looked into Tsudo, but i doubt we will carry it. I know the price of those exhausts are enticing, but there are a lot higher quality products out there. If you are looking into something at a low price, Megan is usually pretty good for the price.

XD2O (http://www.scikotics.com/forums/member.php?u=11181)

Haha yes we are active supporters, we take pride in our customer loyalty. We are actually slow on adding XD products, I sincerely apologize haha. But which products are you most interested in for the XD? If its a product line that we already carry (IE: Magnaflow, Tanabe etc, we will add it on the website ASAP. Let us know! That is what this thread is for. We have a huge product line, its posted on our website. It just takes time adding products and we would rather get recommendations before wasting our time adding a product that doesn't sell.

[amplifydx10]

im actually lookin foward to shopping with you guys . A great selection of many things of my interest. i want all of it. haha

[ArticTC]

B&M makes a good tranny cooler that will fit our cars just right. cant remember the part number but they are pretty trick kits..

[mengsta]

[ArticTC]

Sweet!!! and post it up as soon as you carry them. Uh seein as how we have some military including myself in this wicked club of ours. How about military discounts?

[mengsta]

Military discounts is definitely something we want to do. But as of right now our products are already listed so low that we can't discount any further. We do appreciate and definitely respect our military members.

But we will keep that in mind and see what we can do. Is there any simple requirement that I should have so they can prove they are military? Like a # or rank of some sort, I apologize but I'm not too familiar with military personnel.

[asasn8u]

how about free shipping for military? i know shipping is already only $5 but just sayin lol

[mengsta]

Yeah we can do that.

[ArticTC]

Simple military ID would be the easy answer, but with havin a vast customer base all over the states. Maybe they could fax a copy of there Mil. ID before the transaction is complete. IDK that one is tough now that I think of it. Nonetheless I would except anything less than an ID from the customer. If they are in fact in the service they would have no problem going through that process. I know I wouldnt, but that my opinon.

It's okay, we still appreciate the recommendations. So far we do have products for 08+ Scion XB. Its in the same category as XB1. Once we get more products uploaded, we will definitely have XB1 and XB2 in separate categories.

Are there any specific products that are hot sellers for the XB2?

[xGhostx]

HI MENG!

I love meng there so reliable and products rock!

Still rockin that sticker on my tc to :)

We have carbon fiber arm rest covers, door sills, a-pillar, etc! Visit our website and check out the TC Interior, and exterior section.

I like the plexi look.. Would be killer with some LED lighting behind it...

[xGhostx]

Meng sells the bulb for the cubby hole in diff colors. I got a red one. It lights it up nice, and its cheap! I love mms :)

[The 1 2 Die 4]

Ah, for two more dollars you could have a whole strip of LED's and for a few more dollars you could have a million color LED strip... The replacement bulb is still a must...

[mengsta]

Haha we'll look into louvers.

I handled your inquiry and my designer hasn't gotten back to me with a sample yet. He said its no problem, but he will need to scale the "speed racer" down a bit so it will fit nicer. Also if the design is too big, you really wont be able to see part of it because of the hang due to the waterfall =).

We do sell the cubby light, and it is great! Looks wonderful with our cubby panels!

[SpeedRacer]

Np, at all, I know things take time.

[mengsta]

Thanks for understanding! But he did get back to me, check your email!

[xGhostx]

We want mms in texas :)

[1KlntC07]

what about lug nuts? Like extended lugs in different colors?

[mengsta]

HAha I wish, Texas doesn't have CARB and tight emission laws like California.

Lug nuts and wheels will come, that is actually next, we have just been really behind on work. We are having T-shirts being designed.

[xGhostx]

Cali dosnt deserve mms

I want shirts! :)

And wheels to :p

[xGhostx]

What kinda wheels can we look forward to seeing?

[asasn8u]

so i ordered a megan racing short shifter only to find out that they're out of stock right now :( but they did e-mail me telling me that they were out of stock and asked me if i wanted them to refund my money or if i just wanted to wait :) this is just another testament to the GREAT customer service at meng. thanks :mro::mro::mro: oh and i decided to wait it out simply because of the service i received and the fact that they're a sciko supporter

[mengsta]

Work and BBS wheels are in process, adding them up is actually taking us longer than expected. We are getting a lot of custom inquiries to keep us busy, but I guess that's not a bad thing =)

asasn8u (http://www.scikotics.com/forums/member.php?u=11892),

Thanks for the testimonial =). I believe one of us here even gave you a call, but nobody answered hehe. Thanks again for the order and sorry for the wait.

any word on harness bars? like the NRG ones?

[mengsta]

We have been busy trying to add up wheels. But we already have an account with NRG, the products just aren't up yet. Do you need it ASAP? send me a PM with the Part number I could give you a custom quote. I'll try to add up the NRG one by this weekend!

EDIT: I'll actually try to add it up sooner.

[mengsta]

Everybody, we have many sponsored sale threads already posted in that section! Visit our threads and send some replies or at least check it out!

We have sales on HID kits, plug and play LEDS, SUPER LOW price on F2 coilovers, and custom cubby panels!

[mengsta]

NRG Seat belt harness bar is on the website. You can search for it, or go to the TC: Interior category =)

Separate out xB and xB2 parts. It would make the site a lot easier to browse :up:

My other suggestion has been covered already!

[mengsta]

Really? I'll do it ASAP! Thanks!

Lucy,

Right now we have the Greddy kit for boost, but we are definitely trying to get more. We talked to our carbon fiber dealer and that roof spoiler you showed won't work. I believe it blocks the pathway for our TC hatch to open. We are going to think of another design that still looks nice. No promises though, just some discussion.

Thanks again for the recommendations! Like I said earlier, we highly appreciate it, but we are working at our best, don't expect anything to happen immediately, but we are taking down notes. Wheels are still coming up next.

[The 1 2 Die 4]

Ive seen a lip version for the tC of this type of spoiler. Pretty sure it was CF.. I tried to search for where I saw it, but no luck.. I think its an accessory for a lip or body kit.. Its only on one site, figures I can't find it... Ill post it up if I do...

Meng,

If you do more F/I.. I know that most tC owners prefer the ptuning setup..

[mengsta]

Oh okay if you ever do, post it up. I'd like to see it.

Yeah I figured, Ptuning, Dezod, or Descendant were popular turbo kits. Before I worked here, I actually went to Ptuning to buy stuff for my TC years ago =] haha. They are good people. I'll see what kind of dealer discount they give us, that's basically what it boils down to.

[The 1 2 Die 4]

Can you put up the NRG tC Hood Strut Dampers??? I need a set to go with my props from butcher...

[DeadCannon]

Think a couple guys on YSTC use an M3 style lip spoiler for a Cobalt from eBay for their roof spoiler. Engi or Blue or Doc. Iso, I can't remember exactly but it was one of the big boys, said that when they drive in the rain that the air seems to focus down to the rear spoiler better.

[mengsta]

NRG Hood damper kit is up! Both carbon Fiber and Polished Style!

DeadCannon (http://www.scikotics.com/forums/member.php?u=13783)

That is very interesting. Yeah I've spoken to Doc I in particular a few times. Very smart and cool guy.

Any word on Louvers? Please take your time, no rush.. I know its a special request... :mro:

[mengsta]

Lol sorry no louvers =(. I checked, but none of our current suppliers carry them.

Ghost, I don't think the hood dampers are recommended for use with the hatch. Sorry. If your hatch struts are weak, then your best bet is to just go back to Scion/Toyota and get new ones. They might even have them at a local parts store.

[Hix]

If you could find someone to make a top bracket for a shock you could do the hood damper yourself pretty cheap. I have wanted to do it forever but I am one lazy fat bast'd

I would / do support meng but he dosnt have hatch dampners :)

[Hix]

I'm saying he should make a cheaper version of the NRG set.

[The 1 2 Die 4]

Ghost, if you cant get them from Meng, try TRD Sparks.. They usually can get any factory part at some discount over the dealership.. They are a great sponsor to support! If you do decide to DIY, just be careful that you do it correctly.. You wouldnt want that hatch to fall on your head!!!


Meng, anything new and exciting? I guess im going to have to fab my own louvers... ;-(

NAPA Autoparts can get them... PM RS2BlueDragon (rick) I know he had them order a set. I think he still has the part # . :)

[mengsta]

HAha yeah so sorry everybody, no louvers =[.

I'll keep that in mind about fabbing our own damper, thats actually a great idea. But since we are just family owned, we are limited to manpower. We are trying our best to upgrade our line-up but its coming along slowly.

Some new stuff would be our carbon fiber lineup. We just added these last week. We have carbon fiber rear garnishes, mirror covers, B-pillars, etc! Check us out, everything still ships at $5.00.

[mengsta]

We'll have some company shirts coming in within a month or two, so that' something to look forward to as well =]. We started on our Work wheel lineup, but it's taking us forever because of the varies attributes. Offset, sizing, bolt pattern, etc.

UPDATE: March upgrade will have slight price increase.

In order for us to continue giving our awesome customer service and products, we need to have a mandatory price increase. Not to bash on any other companies, but us and Operatic knows very well that we cannot sell HID kits at a super low price near what you see on Ebay for example. We cannot sell kits at $40 (random number) and still follow through with our customers. Squallheart (<-doesn't know I'm mentioning him) can definitely lecture you on how sellers that sell products that low will most likely not follow through on their "lifetime warrantys". When you call, they are nowhere to be found. Anyway not all sellers are like this, that is just an example.

So why are we upping the price? Unlike most businesses, we aren't going to raise the price just to have more profit. We are upgrading our HID kit procedures.

-3 year warranty instead of 2. (previous customers will automatically have a 3 year from purchase date)
-NEW boxes. Previous customers will understand why our kits are priced so low, yet have AMAZING quality. Our boxes were standard boxes. We now have larger boxes which will protect the kits more effectively during shipment.
-Priority Mail Medium boxes. We are going to ship our boxes with priority mail which is rated at a speedy 1-3 business day delivery! We are going to use the medium size box to accommodate for our larger product boxes. This will also allow us to properly pack each and every shipment with bubble wrap.

I thought it would be right to share this with customers. Price is going up in March, so buy the kits now! Every kit placed from now on, will have these upgraded practices, but at the original price! Each kit is going to take longer for us to package and the initial shipping cost will be higher for us, I hope everybody understands that we must do this.

Price: We are still calculating on what is an effective price to increase it at. I cannot name a figure, but it wont be a major increase. We are also going to set up coupon codes for forum members, so the increase won't even be that big.

Update on the panels,

We purchased a OEM XB cubby panel from Scion. So far I think the process is going very well. No promises though =]. But we are definitely giving it a shot and seeing if we can make panels for the XB2.

[The 1 2 Die 4]

Thanks for the heads up Tony!!! Ill make sure I get my products before the end of the month...

[mengsta]

No problem at all! Yeah get them before the end of the month. If you get them now, it will already have the upgrades, just at a cheaper price.

[The 1 2 Die 4]

Ok Tony!!!!!!!

I snached up my NRG Hood Struts, and a 3k H11 HID kit with the relay.. I hope the relay is worth the extra $20, otherwise I would have gotten the slim balast.. Anywho, Im going to be leaving for Scion De Gras on Friday the 12th.. Please if anything rush my order to me so I can get my mods before I leave..

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

PS: Just saw you have Eneos.. Ill be getting my oil from you from now on..

I thought about gettin those struts, but feel kinda iffy about drilling into my kami CF hood.

Utoh, I thought they were bolt on??? :ponder:

[mengsta]

Your PM's are answered! You should have received a tracking number, your package will arrive very fast =].

As for the hood dampers, the item is pretty new onto our catalog so we haven't actually tried it out on our company vehicle. NRG states that it is a simple install, I will make sure to contact NRG to find out exactly if you have to drill or not.

[The 1 2 Die 4]

Thank you Tony!!!

I recieved my HID kit today!!! Looks great, and thanks for the decal and business cards..

Driving at night, sweet! The lights are bright as hell, just like any other HID temp. I lowered the cut-off just to be courteous to on comming traffic and other low riders. Tonight I passed two cops. One on my side was sitting sideways with the parking lights on but he was on the PC. The other was in on comming traffic, where there was no median. Neither pulled me over. I dont know if im pushing my luck. But the part of town I was in, the cops are super azzholez!!!

Thanks to Tony, owner and operator.

I can't say I'm a fan of the 3k HIDs, but I do know that I'm going to buy some 6k or 8ks from Meng here soon! I'd go to some 10k or 12k, but I don't want to push my luck with the cops, I'm paranoid as it is! :D

Tony-- So.... you have this thread under the tC section...... where is it in the xB section?? huh?? :( we feel left out. :( :p :lol:

[lucytheshedevil]

see in these pics they look much yellower. in the tc pic thread they looked white. I love my 3k fogs. I usually end up driving with just those on. lol

[DeadCannon]

How do you have yours wired to do that? Mine turn off when I turn off my headlights.

[The 1 2 Die 4]

Andrew's right.. This thread should actually be under the "Scikotic Supporters" thread...


And my camera phone automatically adjusted the color, they are much more yellow than what the pics protray...

Im sure hes got his VRD's connected to its own switch.. You can do the same, just a little rewiring..

[Hix]

question about the carbon fiber A-pillar. are those replacements or do they go overtop the stock ones?

They are supposed to go over the top of the stock ones. However on the one previous to the CF pillars I had a backing made from wood stakes.

[DeadCannon]

Im sure hes got his VRD's connected to its own switch.. You can do the same, just a little rewiring..

mine are on a switch, but the switch is wired to the stock relay/harness. I was just wondering if he had the active-on hot wired or whatever.

[The 1 2 Die 4]

NRG Hood damper kit just arrived. And the verdict is in on wether or not you need to drill.

No, not for the OEM application. It is bolt on. The one I got.

As for the CF, FRP, or non OEM hood application, probably needs drilling. I didnt order that kit so I dont know what the directions say. But im sure you would drill 6 holes max, all the same size.

DIY to come...

[mengsta]

Sorry for the late reply! Classes started, and as most of you may know, I'm currently training to be a firefighter, so I wont get as much time on here. I'm the only one that runs the Scion division as well.

The Carbon fiber A-pillars go over the factory a-pillar pieces =].

Sorry for the wrong location! Mods you are VERY welcome to move this thread into the scikotics supporters section. I did not mean to leave out any XB or any other scion models. Sorry! Please move this over, it would make more sense.

Yes I also contacted NRG and they said its a bolt-on for the factory hoods, no drilling required!

[mengsta]

Thanks for the pics!

[infidel_inside]

Possibly a quality color matched badge-less rear garnish? Don't know if that was covered already...

[Human Collapse]

6000k HIDs ordered yesterday, I'm pretty excited and have plans to buy from Meng again!

[dropzone]

Yes I also contacted NRG and they said its a bolt-on for the factory hoods, no drilling required!



REALLY! Try bolting it up like in the following pic and it's bad news. Maybe I didn't word it right in the RS 5.0 thread but this was my issue with it. And they could bump up the pressure of the damper some too as it does not aid with lifting up the hood like the dampers of the rear hatch.
http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/7074/file0408.jpg (http://img34.imageshack.us/i/file0408.jpg/)

Drill the hole out some until it sits flush like so and you can then properly tighten the bracket down.

Well, I put in the request to move the thread.. But, this happens to be a thread where Meng (Tony) is just saying hello to tC owners specifically.. So if you want to discuss "xB" stuff.. You need to create an "xB" thread..

But if you want to, you can hang with us tC's Andrew.. lolz...

I wasn't saying MOVE this thread. :p dang.. I jsut wondered where the xB love was....

[The 1 2 Die 4]

I just got HID's and NRG Hood dampers... And I still want more stuff.. lmao...


NRG Hood Damper OEM kit is bolt on, no drilling is necessary. All you need is a 7/16 washer to go between the bolt and ball hinge..

http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/ww46/The12Die4/cid__20100215015856.jpg
http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/ww46/The12Die4/cid__0214101307-00.jpg
http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/ww46/The12Die4/cid__20100215015747.jpg

By adding the extra washers behind the hinge, it creates a little more space for the damper. So it doesnt dent the inside of the hood..

http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/ww46/The12Die4/RS%205%20tC/cid__0214101310-00.jpg

If you use the extra washers, the hood will prop a little..

[dropzone]

How's the dampers working for ya? Maybe mine could be defective, yet I've had them for a while though(yet it's been like that from the start). They have enough up pressure to lift the hood you were concerned about?

[The_Butcher]

looks good Tyler.. especially that last pic. :up: I want some hood struts for my B. Redline has some nice ones for the xB2 from what I hear. MENG??? TONY???? *hint hint* damn.. I;m gonna get the tC peeps mad at me for posting this stuff in here. :p

[The 1 2 Die 4]

The dampers are great.. I think you got a bunk pair Jose.. They lift the hood after I open it about 8in... Ill have better pics of the rods for your thread Andrew.. Just wait..

Tony..
I want a cubby panel.. I made this design...

http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/ww46/The12Die4/T12D4MengPnl-2.jpg

[The_Butcher]

Tyler- suggestion on that panel: where it says TRD, above that only says "Racing development" ?? no TOYOTA??? and the RS5.. to me the S and the 5 look really similar in that font. that's my .02 ...

don't hate me. :p

I do like it though.

[The 1 2 Die 4]

I HATE YOU! :crybaby2:

I tried to make the 5 look more like a 5 and the s look more like an s.. and,
Im not the one that left the Toyota out of the TRD emblem.. Thats how it is...

And its not going in your tC anyways Butcher! lol.. jk.... :mrb:


Im glad you like it! :rofl2:

[The_Butcher]

cause I don't have a tC.. duh. :p I have TRD emblem on my windshield eyebrow, it says Toyota Racing Development. :icon_tongue: so there. :lol:

[The 1 2 Die 4]

lol... updated^^.. is the 5 better?

[The_Butcher]

:up: :up: MUCH BETTER!!! :up: :up: I knew you could do it SON. :afro:

[mengsta]

THANKS for the pics!! It looks great. No problem about posting, I do apologize for putting this into the TC section =[. It should be in the general supporters section, I will PM a mod about this.

As for the redline, we don't have an account with them at this moment =[. I will try but we are already behind. We have some dusty books of products that we need to add hehe.

As for the cubby panel, can you send us an email with your request? Send it to Sales@mengmotorsports.com. We can handle custom cubby panel inquiries easier that way.

[mengsta]

Infidel,

We will look into that! so far we just have carbon fiber garnishes =[.

Human,

Thanks for the order! I'm positive you will love the kit!

Drop zone,

I thought you meant as in drilling the actual hood. Hmm yeah it looks like there are some imperfections with the product, as with most aftermarket products in this category =[.

[Human Collapse]

I'd like to see some good metal mesh grilles similar to the Fig grilles, but with a direct fit.

When I think of more, I'll put my 3rd and 4th cents in!

really it's no biggie.. don't sweat over it.. I was merely asking, in my own misconstrued way, about the xBs.. :) NO NEED TO MOVE THIS THREAD!!! :p
you're good bro. from what I've heard about the hood struts for the 2nd gen xB is that Redline has the best.

[TRD TC]

i heard you can not put hood dampers on carbon fiber hood's is this true

[DeadCannon]

Meng sells a CF damper kit...

[DeadCannon]

From their website:

This product fits for year 2005+ Scion TCs. Product is used to completely prop up the hood by a shock rather than the old fashioned hood prop stick. Two types of hood dampers are available; one for lightweight hoods and one for heavier OEM hood. Please specify which hood in the drop box.

Your answer probably stemmed from people using too strong of dampers on a light hood, too much force against the mount point.

oh ok cool .. going look now

ya personally think those look better than pins sticking out of a carbon hood. plus they also have the option to be locked, so if you have some fancy smancy stuff under the hood, lets say for a carshow and you wanna go eat, just lock the hood. LOL

[The 1 2 Die 4]

They definately look better than a pin sticking out.. I would use them if I had to with a CF hood... But would probably have them painted...

Thanks for the support and inquiries everybody! I really appreciate it.

We have tons of accounts with manufacturers so getting mesh grilles and hood latches are no problem! If you need them ASAP don't hesitate to send a PM or email for a price inquiry. It's a whole other story when adding products to the website though =].

ALL PMS have been replied to!

As for the NRG hood damper, Yes to confirm NRG does make a model for lighter hoods =]. We do have a drop down option for two different models.

The Hood latches and grilles should be up after our MEgan lineup and Wheels are done.

We've been pretty busy with new updates, so I do apologize for not being able to get these new products mentioned added up as fast as I want to.

Some updates:
-We did a hammer test video on our HID kits! Video should be uploaded to our website and youtube within a few days.
-We are almost done with a step-by-step instruction video on HID installation
-Designing shirts.
-Still working on our wheel lineup.
-XB panels.

[mengsta]

As a reminder we are a family owned business =]. So we are working with the man/womanpower that we have available. Most of us are even still in college, I personally am attending college in Milpitas, California pursuing a Fire Science Degree.

Have a great weekend everybody!

I ordered my redline hood struts the other day. I should of contacted you first to see if you could get them. :( dang it. I'd rather spend my money in family owned businesses rather than big companies.

I also have some pics of my HID install. I will post them up in your HID thread. and again... :( shammed to say I bought the HIDs from other source. damn my compulsive/impulsive buying habbits.

[TRD TC]

x2 on that .. family owned business you get better customer service cause they are more prone to protect their name than big business who have employees who don't give 2 shit about the company and can care less if you buy from them or someone else .. i love family owned business and keep up the awesome customer service and prices meng

[The 1 2 Die 4]

Tony, no rush.. But I want the lip kit from these guys..

http://www.jpusaco.com/product_info.php?products_id=81

Price $990 + Shipping
Viniati.com has the same kit listed cheaper.. $891, add shipping $1,055...

[The 1 2 Die 4]

^^ Thats what I thought.. and Gloss Black will look clean as hell...

[DeadCannon]

Or super white...

[dropzone]

Guess the JP kit is crossed off my potential selections. So little $$$ what to do what to do? Suspension, wheels, or lip kit. Can only do one big thing for this year.

[mengsta]

Thanks for the orders and support everbody!

Butcher, NO PROBLEM at all about ordering from anybody else. Unfortunately we don't have an account with Redline at the moment anyway. As for HID kits, we frequently get calls for troubleshooting from people that run other brand kits! We don't mind at all. As long as customers are happy and safe =].

Thanks for the support everyone. We have a facebook account so you can Fan us or find my personal account and see pics of the family. We don't hide anything and try to be as honest and helpful as possible. Yes we do understand how important each and every customer is. The reason is not just because we can't afford an unhappy customer, but also we just enjoy keeping our customers happy, so it's an easy priority for us =].

12die4,

We actually carry JPUSA Products =]! We just aren't listed as an authorized distributor because we don't stock enough to qualify =[. However we are authorized dealers for ANYTHING you see on the website and more. Eibach, Tokico, and skunk2 are just a few examples or websites that do have us listed on their page, just not JPUSA at the moment. I will PM you a price, I'm sure we can beat it.

Dropzone,

We feel your pain haha. We are tight on funds too and its hard to figure out how to effectively spend it toward the business. I would personally pick suspension. Lip and body kits are definitely awesome, but a new suspension will literally make the TC feel like a different car. Trust me on that one =]

Updates:

We've been a bit slow on replies and we are very sorry, BUT! we do have an excuse. We finally did a hammer test video and a instructional video on our HID Kits! We are aalso now an accreditted business for the Better Business Bereau! Visit us on BBB.org!

09TC, thanks for the order! We do ship all our products either same or next day, BUT the carbon fiber products are never shelved and are made fresh once orders come in. It should come within 2 weeks though, but I can't promise that =[

Yes we are on BBB! Go write us some reviews lol =]. BBB has Trustlink which lets reviews go on hehe. NP about the price, we understand money isn't easy so we try to make purchases fair for everybody.

Wow thanks everybody for posting links and helping members out! I really appreciate it.

We do have account swith aftermarket gauge companies. We have an account with Autometer! We actually just got this recently... So no gauges are added up yet.

Hey Tony, I'm looking for fog lights. VRD style or the kind that go in the false lower corner grilles of the tC. I guess I wouldn't mind OEM style that goes in the lower center grille either. Do you have any accounts with anyone who has these?

you have a great line up of product i really am interested in the carbon rear diffuser but i need to see it installed before i can commit

Hey Joshua, thanks for the pics man but Im looking for the gauges itself not the pod/bracket.

Meng - Do you have prosport gauges by any chance??

Thanks for the orders 1klntc!

Human Collapse,

We actually get a lot of inquiries for fog lights, but we don't carry them =[. Unfortunately we just don't feel right carrying "VRD" fog lights.. There is an ebay seller named APT that sells fog lights for like a quarter the price. I'm not recommending it, just letting you know =]. We thought about being a re-seller, but decided not to.

Shaolinity,

I don't currently have any customer pics =[. The only pictures we have are already listed on the website. Sorry!

We don't have an account with Prosport =[. But I'm pretty sure Autometer would have everything you need.

They probably have contacts and suppliers for materials. Making the molds would be similar to molding their boat parts, as would laying the carbon fiber. Not that much of a stretch.

[LugaO]

Thats alright Meng. How bout Vogtland springs?

[TRD TC]

ok so got to clear up some things that me and tony talked about today for while as a lot of you know i was looking for lightweight carbon fiber hood dampers so this is the thing they are no longer available .. nrg feel to tell meng motorsports this so they are updating there website to only oem hood dampers so lightweight hood dampers for carbon fiber hoods, are no longer available

so if anybody has any other info on where i can buy a lightweight hood damper please let me know and also i am sure tony at meng would like to know so maybe he can sell them also :up:

and tony if i left anything out that you spoke with nrg about please feel in

thanks

and also tony THANKS SO MUCH for the customer service you have gave me the last couple days :up:

:bow: to tony at meng :thanks:

did you try Redline tuning??

[TRD TC]

no i didn't

i will thanks

from red line tuning

QuickLIFT systems work with any hood (steel, fiberglass, SMC, carbon fiber etc.) - we design our systems using the stock hood so the main market is covered, however, our systems are made to work with 99% of aftermarket hoods. No extra parts are required.

hey tony check out that site

what you guys think

[The_Butcher]

I just got mine for the xB2. I was told by countless people to ONLY get the xB2 hood dtruts by Redline tuning. all others FAIL.. as in bent hoods, didn't hold hood up.. Tony- this would be a great company for you to try and get an account with.

[TRD TC]

so you think they will work good with carbon fiber hoods

[The_Butcher]

Josh. ONLY IF THEY ARE HALF STRENGHT! you CANNOT use ones designed for the OEM hood on a CF hood. the pressure is to great and you WILL crack your CF.. also, PM RS2BLUEDRAGON (rick) he has a CF hood and struts. maybe he can tell you where he got his.

[TRD TC]

Josh. ONLY IF THEY ARE HALF STRENGHT! you CANNOT use ones designed for the OEM hood on a CF hood. the pressure is to great and you WILL crack your CF

i am aware of this, that is why i want to ask about this redline one cause the site says oem, carbon fiber, etc, etc and that threw me off cause i know they have different pressure in the dampers and if you get a strong one you will just rip your hood in half


also, PM RS2BLUEDRAGON (rick) he has a CF hood and struts. maybe he can tell you where he got his

ok cool thanks i will

nrg use to make them and sell them 3 years ago from what tony had told me but they don't make them anymore for cf hoods only oem ..

[The_Butcher]

yeah.. sorry bout thread jacking Tony. :hiding:
Josh. call Redline and ask them... Rick's setup uses 2 struts. I think that 2 looks better than 1. :up:

[TRD TC]

yea i would go with 2 .. i will contact them and see what they say and i will let yall know what they say, and i will call or email you tony about them maybe you can get an account with them

[1KlntC07]

any got pics of the mounting on the underside of the hood. curious how it mounts up.

[mengsta]

Yeah we looked into carbon fiber headliners. We found another store called topshopparts selling headliners at $650 shipped. We don't think we can make a headliner and sell it at $650 while keeping everything high quality. We'll try though, I'll update you guys if we do go on it =].

Vogtland is a great company and we used them on one of our RSX vehicles. We have an account with them, but our discount is low so we havnt updated it on our website yet. Right now a lot of other sites can beat us on the price.

TRD TC,

I dont know how to apologize, but what happened in our case is very surprising and depressing lol. Basically, to anyone who wanted those NRG lightweight hood dampers, they are no longer available.... NRG's website descriptions are oudated to about 3 years.. So the description may not be exact. Basically the titanium model is for OEM hoods and the carbon fiber hood damper is for lightweight hoods. Only one type for each damper... but in the TC case, both dampers are rated at the same pressure. So booo on them, we can't do anything about it. I do think Redline carries lightweight models, I'll see if we can get them.

[mengsta]

No problem about threadjacking.

I like the help that members are giving eachother. I will definitely see what I can get from redline. It's usually not a problem getting accounts, its more based on what discount they offer us for us to compete with other businesses. Of course in general, the more volume we push, the better the discount =]. Which is why its not always easy for us to just grab every account available.

[The_Butcher]

FYI. just installed the hood dtruts on my B from Redline. EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY.. 30 min install and that inclued DRILLINg. yes on teh 2nd gen you ahve to drill your hood. :( very nice mod. they really work and look great

[The 1 2 Die 4]

Does it work with your Rod?!?!

[The_Butcher]

Does it work with your Rod?!?!


OH YOU KNOW IT!!! :up: :up: maybe I can write them off on my taxes as Product demonstration..

it's not your fault tony no worries they are nice dampers though if i had an oem hood i would put them on .. just keep me updated on returning them back to nrg .. also i will wait for while and see if you can get an account with redline so i can help push your sales up from them and try out there dampers .. they do have some interesting things also .. hope you get it :up:

i actually have one of those ground wire kits with the stabilizer in blue on back order with nrg, lol

[mengsta]

Ok great I will forward the message about redline to the people I work with and we'll see what we can do =].

TRD TC, I gave you a call yesterday and sent you an e-mail, I hope you got it! I will re-check in a few hours to see if you replied.
