I am new to the board and have learned alot by lurking. I think I have covered all the basic stuff and am now ready for some help with getting some more parts.
I have already done:
Halo projector headlights
Upper Grill
Header
Factory fog lights
Borla cat back exhaust
Cabin a/c filter
Throttle cable adjustment
Wheels and Tires
Removed all the badges

I am now looking for more info on:
Cruise control, just drove FL to AZ and going back!!
Sway bars
Lowering Springs
Nobleese Ground effects
Pulleys
Rear Disc brakes if they are available

and any other suggestions would be great!!!
Also where to get the best deals on these parts or even websites you recomend to find said parts.

Thanks

 

Go to the feature section at the top and then to the parts area. You will see write ups on various parts. Good luck!!

 

I got my cruise control put on at Ziebart ($320) about every dealership puts them on too for about the same price....Also I bought TRD springs, Rear sway bar and strut bar...they carry a toyota warrantee and they made a big improvement on ride and handling for around $500 for all three....

 

do the lightened pulley to feel quicker revs and a peppier engine. i can vouch for agencypower, as i have theirs.

springs, it depends on how low you want to go. tein, tanabe, skunk2, megan, goldline, etc ...

swaybars, hotchkis just came out with a new set. TRD and Progress are the most popular ones out there right now.

 

what kind of Throttle cable adjustment did you?

 

Her forgot about the Monroe 5987 rear shocks, shaving the wiper, peeling the window frames, under dash cold cathodes, LED tails and adjusting the cruise sensitivity ECT.....

 

ok bb2ner the cruise sensitivity and the throttle cable adjustment... please do tell

 

There is a thread about it but it's quite simple to adjust the cruise. You open up the box and move the second micro switch to the up position. That puts it in the medium mode up from the lowest setting. Both 1 and 2 up is too sensative so don't do it.
As far as the throttle adjustment you just have to make sure the throttle is actually opening to WOT when the gas pedal is mashed to the floor. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Basically it makes the cruise react sooner to hills. I tested mine up a hill where the speed would drop off about 3-4 MPH and now it doesn't drop but maybe 1 MPH and recovers almost right away on it's own. No more having to help the cruise out with my foot before a steep climb.

 

ah, thats not my cruise problem, mine is, and alway has been off massively 5 - 10 mph on either side, and the set button is always sticking, what does adjusting the throttle cable gain you though?

 

Faster throttle response and optimal WOT????
Not sure about "your" cruise issues??? Maybe a replacement stalk with new buttons?

 

yea, unfortunately like my ac problems toyota says "thats normal"


found out yesterday that toyota never even charged my ac system!

 

Did you get them to charge it up?
Have they tried to fix the sticky buttons on the cruise? Stuff like that is never "normal".

 

no I had to have my mechanic charge it for me and they don't care, they figure spending 7k on my motor once was enough repairs for me

 

WOW, that sux hard!

 

no ____, the dealer hates me, I've taken it back for little things, you know, like the lights shutting off the day I took delivery of it, and having to drive 50 miles home with no headlights/tail lights (dealer was closing as I was finishing the WRONG paperwork)

 

Have you shared all these wonderful adventures with Scion Corp.? Me thinks the dealer needs a reminder from corprate what customer service is all about. I'm sure they got paid for everything they did for you under warranty too. So F' them.
Are they the only dealer nearest to you? Mine has never been back yet for anything but I would have about 3 dealers within about 50 miles to go to for service if need be.
