Just wanted to say hello to everyone! My name is Rachel and I live in central Florida! I got my tC a year ago, and had not had the money untill recently to start modding it...

Anywho its the 06, 5speed... I just got done redoing the brakes and got drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads. It is lowered two inches on Eibach sportline springs...

That is all that is done to it so far... The tC is mainly our grocery getter... and my dd. We have an 89 foxbody coupe that is the go fast car!

Here are a few pics!


This was shortly after I got it:



This is a picture a friend took on the way to a JDMups meet (still stock )



This was right before we lowered it:



And this is after!






They arent the best pictures in the world, and I am working on getting some more off of the camera with the new rotors!

Thanks!

 

welcome to SL.....

Driving the tC is like butter!

I drive the Mustang all the time and the clutch weighs about 90 pounds....

Thank you!

I am getting ready to paint the rims... I dont have money for new ones so I figure a nice coat of paint would make it look a little less stock!

It has been nice down here, but I know as soon as I go to paint them it will rain..... Thats my luck!

i just needs it to be like 65-70 degrees and my friend and i will start painting ish on my car

 

enough about me......

Welcome to ScionLife

 

welcome

 

I have always liked them...

Before it I had a 96 Eclipse GS, 5speed, 180k on it.... I swear the only reason it ran was because it was possesed by the devil.... and before that a 92 240sx coupe.... it was my baby, but the motor blew and it ended up being more of a pain in the ___ then what I had the time, patience, and money to deal with...

I was also living with my ex, who had no job, so I was supporting him

Once I left him, and moved back home I had all kinds of extra money, and a car that was about ready to die, so I went looking.... I really wanted a Mazdaspeed3, but that was more than I could afford.

Mom and I went one day to have her tires changed out (she has a Rav4) and I went looking around the lot and found her! I test drove it and said I would take it. I love the car alot!

I wanted a white one, and now I really like the Mica color, but silver is what I have and I am going to live with it for as long as it holds up.... My dad paints cars so when I am ready, if I want, I can change it.... but not for a while!

 

i have the same color and i love it! any questions about the car or anything let us know. we'll be happy to give you an answer, or at least point you in the right direction

 

Welcome. Just make sure that whetever you do to your car the only person's opinion that matters is yours.

 

Welcome to the site. Now that you're lowered you should get some HIDs, it will make driving at night a lot more fun trust me

 

We got one thing in common. I do paint work as well.
