Default Just want to introduce myself and say, Hi!!

I have had my 2006 TC since May 06 and have done some mods. Never thought I would say that but as it goes so far.

1. H&R Springs

2. TRD Rear sway bar.

3. TYC Tail Lights.

4. TRD Door Sills.

5. TRD Supercharger

6. Custom Magnaflow exhaust.

7. B&M Short shifter (Ordered and waiting)

8. Bosch 110 BPV (Ordered and waiting)

9. NST 9.5 Pulley (Will order when they get some in stock)

I got a Black Cherry Pearl 06, manual, side curtain air bags and IPOD HU. Just put some Toyo Proxies 4's on and they are a very good tire. A little soft on the sidewall but great for a daily driver like mine, also quiet compare to my original tires.

Hope everyone in Washington is doing good and again, HI !!!.

I am over in South Prairie near Bonney Lake. Work in Auburn and I am looking for a good after market parts store and possibly a tuner in the future. Any suggestions would be great, most of what I see are for Honda's and I was hoping to find someone who might specialize in Toyota/Scion's.

Thanks for the welcomes, I feel a bit out of place as everyone here seems to be younger. I must admit I enjoy my TC but theres nothing like the good old Detroit rear wheel drive V-8 for putting your butt into the seat. For those of you who want to straight line race, get a rear wheel V-8, small block or big block makes no difference if built properly. I am now looking at making a good FWD track car and I believe the TC is a very good platform for that. If I want to do quick 1/4 miles I would never have bought the TC but went with a Corvette or Mustang. I thought about getting a Corvette but just can't justify the expense. My last Detroit car was a 84 Trams Am Hi Output with all the trimmings. What a POS, broken mortor mounts, transmission mounts, on and on. Got rid of it in 87 and told myself I would never buy another GM vehicle. So far I been good to my word, did buy a 96 F-250 with the 460 and it has run great to this day. Anyway enough of the past and on with the present. Thanks again and hope to see everyone at a future meet.

Welcome, there is a bunch of us down here in the Auburn area. I don't think you have to worry about feeling out of place. We do have a diverse group.

Welcome!

I also don't think you will be too out of place we have people on here that are from 16-mid 60's so we have all age groups. We have family people, single people so we are very divers and there are events for everyone.

As for tuner shops, Most people usually order online, no one really specializes in Toyota/Scion, but Joel at Carnutz in Bellevue http://carnutz.cc/ can get you almost anything. If you want something a little closer Fastlane in Tacoma http://www.fastlaneperformance.com/ can also help you out. As for other shops Speed Concepts in Beaverton, OR.

Hope to meet you soon!

Welcome aboard. Don't feel out of place I'm 62 and the Scion community is very accepting of everyone, It's all about the cars and people. I understand what you mean about the Big block V8's but I am having soooo much fun with my scion it really becomes a sickness. :D I live in So Oregon but I come up that way now and then. Hope to see you at an event soon.
