no scions??

[xchelsearose]

i suppose that is a good thing...

it'd probably only be filled with people discussing their silly visual mods

however, i'd like to meet some people who've done a tc right.. maybe we could teamup and change the stereotype haha

So..
mine is an '06 tc with a supercharger and lowering springs..
its black with just a little lip spoiler (that big one, if you ask me, is obnoxious)
if i decide to keep it (vs buying a 2.5rs and doing a wrx or sti swap)..
i'll get to sway bars, struts, cat back, intake.. maybe upgraded brakes..
that's a lot of money to put into a tc, though.

the only visual upgrades i think i'd want is new wheels,
like some light 5 spokes
anddd i've seen some very sexy wide body kits..
i'd like to just maybe do some side skirt action....
just make it stand out and look real tucked onto the ground..
i just can't picture paying for that when i'd rather do performance upgrades..

so, anyone who has a clean, sleek car with performance over looks in mind.. i'd love to hear what you have goin' on... maybe it'd inspire me to keep mine.


if there is already a scion / tc thread and i missed it.. feel free to move this!

:cool:

Hey there are a couple nice ones hanging around....do you have the TuRD S/C sorry but im sure you know the problems that they have, if not get to researching....

Are you on Scionlife.com? My username is the same there however, havent been on in awhile....If you ever need help with anything i know these cars very well

[4DR_DB7]

98% of modded scions are riced out. the OE rear spoiler is horrible. its a nice looking car in stock form though. just too popular w/ chicks and old people for my style. no offense to girls and old people of course.

[xchelsearose]

i agree. but it makes me want to keep it just to show people how its really done haha.. mines really clean looking.. just black and lowered.
if i did all of the things to it that i wanted to, i could shut up a lot of people who talk **** about them.. but i talk **** about them too haha .. eh the people in them.

Most scions are slow=) there are a few quick ones around... what are your plans

[Buster]

[oneslowxa]

yea the 1.5 if fun.. up to 60 at least lol...

[Buster]

eh once it gets going its not so bad, lucky for you the scions get better gearing.

[SvicksTc]

Check out my members journal, although i just totaled it Easter sunday, i feel like i did my TC right, i sure changed a lot of peoples minds about them thats for sure...

[Zillon]

I've got one.

[oneslowxa]

My xa is no longer around, a lady blew a stop sign and I just offed it after insurance cut a check. With a good suspension setup the 1.5 scions are monsters up to 60. you can ask Zack about those days. btw when you are getting back so we can make some runs... 280+ hp cars had a hard time losing me on turns =) "fastest" straightline I clicked was a 15.4 @86, with a lousy 2.4 60 though lol.

I'll be back in the toyota/scion/lexus camp shortly with a new project soon enough.

[Zillon]

I've been back since May 10th. We need to do a run soon.

New wheels and tires left California yesterday, they'll be here next week sometime. :mrgreen:

[SvicksTc]

So many eggs it feels like easter, my new hated holiday since i totaled the TC.....

[oneslowxa]

I need to work out some minor kinks out of the new car and we'll be good to chase, I also have some new recruits that will head up with us as well.

[Zillon]

Get a Yaris or xD and join the club. :mrgreen:

[SvicksTc]

unfortunatly i think im moving out of the toyota/scion family all together...been with them for 4-5 years now from the celica to the tc and never let me down, Im a yota fan at heart and i dont think that will ever change and will still be rocking my moms 09 camry SE that thing is sick

[oneslowxa]

hondas are overrated... ;)

Buy a new xb, boost then laugh at all the 13 second cars you just smoked...

who cares what it looks like lol.

[SvicksTc]

Honestly ive thought about the new XB's for real, ive been trying to find reasons to stay with yota, but really there is nothing that really grabs my attention in their line-up anymore....I was uber excited about the joint venture with subaru and that car, but that keeps getting pushed back, etc....Ive also thought about going back to a GT-S but time to learn a different car i suppose....

and i think im going to stay away from building a car like my last two, ive spent so so so so much money on my past two projects and totaled them both :( im also growing up and college graduation is right around the corner, need something realiable for work not the worry of a boosted car breaking you know..... then my track car builds will begin :) and then its really on

[oneslowxa]

your car should be an extension or your limbs. they probably weren't set up right if you totaled them...

unless someone ran into it or some other freak happenings like deer or tree on your roof or just wasn't paying attention to the road...

[Buster]

I say that all the time and no one understands it.

[oneslowxa]

yeah it's not for everyone... I like to build better drivers, before i build better cars lol =)

Buster, do you still have both cars?

[Buster]

My WRX is hopefully looong gone. Going from 380hp to 100hp is a big change but not worrying about my car blowing up is worth it. And I actually kinda like this little guy.

[oneslowxa]

...well I have a blown (up) 1.5 laying around if you would like to discover its limits lol...

Sad part is I wasn't even the one who blew it up lol.

Cone dodging FTW.

[oneslowxa]

couldn't make it today... too busy looking for wheels for the beater =)

[trdsmoke]

sell it...

[i_ride_fieroGT]

Dont shun me for posting in this thread but i have always liked the scion TC's and the older style XB's. Im still thinking about trading my firebird in on either one of them just because there nice practical daily drivers.

[oneslowxa]

^^^
boo we hate scions ;)
Take the plunge and get one already!

[Zillon]

couldn't make it today... too busy looking for wheels for the beater =)

Come out next weekend. 2-day autox extravaganza at Warminster. :mrgreen:

[oneslowxa]

Probably not gonna make it to the event.

Need to save my pennies and prep the kitty wagon for Formula X...

i thought the yaris motor went into the xA and xD.. and the tC had the camry or corolla.. or is the LB something special that i didnt know about?

[oneslowxa]

The older xb, xa and yaris have a 1.5 motor... the new xb, tc, 4 cyl camry and 09+Corolla XRS have the 2.4 motor, the base celica and corolla share the 1.8 with no lift with the xd's ... older corolla xrs shared a torque tuned 1.8 with the celica gts had had a 1.8 with lift...

[xchelsearose]

hm, good to know.. i guess

[xchelsearose]

haha i just realizedi read that wrong anyway.. thought he said.. i'm kindve a scion tc...... so im a douche
