Snaps: J.Pagtalunan
Blurbs: J.Pagtalunan
Last season Tony Angelo returned from a 3 year break from competing to step into the role of judge and technical manager for FormulaDRIFT. Riding in Ken Gushi‘s old 2008 Scion tC and shaking off some rust, he still managed to be ranked within the top 25 by the end of the season. This season he is looking for a fresh start in a brand new Scion FR-S.

Winter is not quite over yet! So why not some fun times ice skating?
To kick off the year, we decided to check out The Rinks at Anaheim Ice, followed by a dinner with an impromptu photoshoot.

‘Tis the SE-ason

‘Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
‘Tis the season when family and friends gather together, usually over lots and lots of food! Luckily for us, our Scion Evolution family does this all year ’round; twice a month. But for this holiday season, we wanted to do something a little nicer, a little bigger, a little funner!
DaYUUM x Guppy Mash Up 2
Scion Evolution x DaYUUM CHOC Walk 2012

I got up early this morning specifically to get started and cram this write up in before Scion Night tomorrow, and I’ll be honest with you…I’m pretty tried right now. But its a good kind of tired because I’m really motivated to do this, plus it makes me remember the kind of tired I felt on Sunday after the walk. It was the type of tired you feel after a job well done, after knowing you accomplished something good…
Which is exactly what the Scion Evolution and DaYUUM families did last Sunday, October 17, 2012 as we all participated in the 5K CHOC Walk around the Disneyland theme parks!
Feature Of The Month – Manny’s tC

For the first feature here at Scion Evolution we wanted to make sure we kicked it off with a ride that would really catch people’s interest – a true showstopper. We decided to go with one of Scion Evolution SoCal’s top show cars, Manny’s 2007 Scion tC.
Meet & Greet at Golf N Stuff

Last Friday, Sept. 21, 2012, kicked off our 2nd meet & greet since the new changes, but it was the first one where we stepped away from hosting it at the usually homebase location. And I have to say, having it at a new and different place was very refreshing! And everyone clearly had a lot of fun!
The food trucks were great and there were a lot of them! A lot of credit has to be given to Glenn from Norwalk DinDinAGoGo who just recently started up this event at Golf N Stuff on Friday nights. It was perfect for them and for our club.
DTLA Photoshoot

As if spending a day shooting event coverage at Auto Gallery wasn’t enough, SE SoCal Member and DaYUUM Contributor, Jae-Money, met up with a few other SE Members the very next day to do an impromptu photoshoot in Downtown LA.
Jae, Manny, Max, Nick, Johnny, and a couple models (and a very chill boyfriend, haha!) found some nice spot at the Art District and then down by the LA riverbed. From graffiti wall art to the LA skyline, these guys came away with some awesome shots. A lot of the credit has to go to Max on this one; he has a really good eye for spots to shoot at.
Scion Evolution is Back!
A quick recap

Actually, we never really left, but the club has clearly taken a dip in visibility in the whole Scion/car scene recently. Gone are the days of being the majority Scion group at car shows, the days of 100+ members together at any given meet.
There are a few of us still around, still hanging out at our usual meet and greets. We still do this because as members of Scion Evolution we have developed a family like bond that has gone beyond our common interest in our cars. And now as a family, with old school experiences and infusions of new school ideas, we are determined to make Scion Evolution prominent once again!
Before we begin this new chapter, we feel that it is important to never forget our roots. And what better way than with a recap of Scion Evolution, coming full circle from the beginning with the founders to now? It will be a good piece of information for new members as well as a refresher for current members.

Backstage Pass: The Build of Scion and HPI Racing’s 1:1 Switch xB
Snaps: P.Dabao, D.Huang
Blurbs: D.Huang
Back in September, Paul Dabao of Toyota approached me with an idea on creating a full-sized Scion xB Switch . The concept behind the initial plan was to create an ultimate support vehicle for the r/c world. The xB would be complete with a pull-out table, battery chargers, storage, tool chest, and entertainment – while replicating the 1:10 r/c model with body pins and antenna.
