A while ago, Scion->ke79 announced its usual "Tuner Challenge" competition for the upcoming 2013 SEMA Show->ke216. From all the entries the tuner had to select only three winners and each of them received a stock 2014 tC plus $15,000 to design and modify the car within 90 days.

One of these modified cars will be a tC->ke1339 designed and modified by Young Tea, from Alhambra, Calif. His car was built in his personal garage and is suitable both for the track and daily driving.

His “Simpli-tC” concept took a base Scion tC and added an aggressive exterior kit that includes new fenders, a custom dual-outlet exhaust rear diffuser and many more, but it also lowered the car's ride for a more aggressive look.

He did lots of work under the hood too, but up to this point the specifications figures have been kept a secret. However, we are pretty sure that his car will deliver more than the standard 180 horsepower.

Scion Simpli-tC by Young Tea in Detail

Front View Detail

From the front, we can see that this tC is slammed to the ground, and features a sharp-looking front apron. We can also make out a nice set of rims housed within enlarged fender flares.

Rear View Detail

From the rear we can see that the rear fenders are also flared out, plus there's a molded rear hatch wing, a dual-outlet exhaust that cuts into a diffuser and custom red-out taillights.

Side view detail

Tea wanted to make his tC to look as aggressive as possible, so it opted to install a lowering suspension kit, a new set of wheels combined with TRD big-brake kit with high-performance brake pads.

Interior view

For the interior the Simpli-tC adds a Sparco 777 leather steering wheel, Sparco four-point competition harnesses, Spaco Reflex racing pedals, racing bucket seats and custom color-matched interior trim pieces.

Engine detail

Under the hood Young Tea added a new turbocharger and manifold, new fuel injectors, and of course, a remapped the ECU. The kit also includes a new ARK performance quad-exit titanium exhaust system.
