When Five Axis Designs debuted their "Bloodshot tC" rendering of the second generation body Scion tC, Erik Ulintz fell in love. The color, the lines, the detail; everything about the concept! Scion, in general, has always engaged and connected with Erik with their "tuner friendly" vehicles and the "become one of us, by becoming none of us" campaign. When the tC Release Series 8.0 was revealed he knew he needed one. The opportunity came, and Erik purchased number 1885 of 2000.

"Ksport Kontrol Pro coilovers; not only do they give me flexibility with wheel setups, but the stiffness and ride quality are improved dramatically," mentions Ulintz. "Won't own another toy without throwing coilovers on."
