Dynamic also had all the resources needed for this type of project.” Dynamic Autosports, of Lake Forest, CA was an easy choice since we had a close working relationship from our early years. “The first thing I needed to address was finding someone to spearhead the work, someone capable of custom fabrication and motor work. Once the vehicle was in his possession, Eng contacted the best of the best, to see who would be interested in a project of this magnitude. And so like an illustrator at Marvel working on a Godzilla comic book, Eng hit the drawing board in order to dream up how best to build this tC to help market Auto-Tech Interiors and inspire some serious cross-Pacific envy. When Calvin Eng, President of Auto-Tech Interiors, first got hold of his 2005 Scion tC Special Release version, he wanted to build it in a way that would not only make American enthusiasts aspire to build something similar, but also to strike envy in the hearts of all those USDM-obsessed Japanese enthusiasts who dream of owning a tC. So the hardcore USDM lovers in Japan are coo coo for the tC and are even trying to import them into Japan, just like many of us here Stateside covet the Nissan Skyline and are always looking for loopholes that’ll allow us to bring a R34 across the big pond. In fact, the tC doesn’t even exist in Japan. You see, in Japan, coupes aren’t very popular. Speaking of which, unless you’ve been to Japan you probably aren’t aware of just how much of a craze the Scion tC has generated in Japan. Like the adage goes, “the grass is always greener” I guess. Equally strange is Japan’s obsession with American style. Some of these fetishes are weird enough that we’d rather not share them, just in case Grandma is reading. Whether it’s their cars, their women or anything in between, some of us have a not-so-secret Japanese fetish. It’s no secret that many of us in the spocom scene are obsessed with all things Japanese. ![]()
