I have an auto 06 tc. Shes a POS, been in a fender bender, hydrolocked, drunk man kicked my bumper, another Coastie hit and run on my driver door, but ya. I've recently got back into my scion and decided to drop some money into her since shes paid off rather than paying for a new car to get destroyed.

Mods list:
Injen SRI
DC Sports headers
Clazzio leather seat covers
Racelands(booooo)
2 Kicker 12's, pioneer 1200 wat amp
some JVC touchscreen
Rota Torques
weathertechs
oem lip kit

This weekend I am picking up the 2.5 Dezod spipe back exhaust from local deal.

Mods waiting to be installed:
VRD Grills
hella tones

Looking to order
Rear sway bar(kind of up in the air right now, im about handling right now)
new pulleys
New lugs
spacers

To do list:
Finish stripping paint of calipers
Repaint waterfall
Get my stance right.
More pics.

Only pic I have, ill take more today if I can walk outside.

8 or 10mm spacers
are the two I am leaning towards right now

Looks good! Get more pics.
I would pick up either those tein basics Jeremy has for sale but they wont go as low as the racelands. As for spacers, except for 5mm, I would not do anything but hubcentric. Also, if you're looking to go lower you're gonna need a more stretched tire.
Looks good! Good start!

Looks clean! More pics needed. I'd go DG Spec or KW Variant 2's for handling, but if you're trying to slam then Stance or B&G's that's my opinion.

^glad you're happy man, crazy you were close to me.

I have an extra macbook air that also has win7 on it, trying to think if there is any useful or cool way to add it to the tc.. if anything I was just going to buy a remote and use it as a media center and keep it in the glovebox. I think it would be a good idea, because I can plug my phone in and use the net(I travel cross state twice a month and cross country about once a year) if I need to. Apple sells a car adapter, and there's a remote for it also. Maybe thinking of just getting a full touchscreen and doing a carputer.

^Trolls gotta troll, if he read he'd see you never said "strut bar"
Carputer would be cool. I'd also go for the vrd fogs, cant go wrong with them.

Its good to be back in cali, I miss key west a little bit actually...I'm waiting to turn 21 just a little bit over a month.... In key west I only got 1, this ones a pretty nice hit where it looks like their tire rubbed on my door or something. Duty 1 in 4 sucks, I am a duty van driver though so it's not that bad, it's been a long 4 months, billets in 2 weeks though and than im done july 21.

I see your sig you get transferred or did you mutual?

found some tanabe coilovers for a decent price, buying used coilovers for $800 is out of my budget, racelands arent that bad, its just so much movement when I go over bumps.
Either fixing my hatch garnish today or trying to find a shaved or cf one.

Tanabes are probably good quality but idk about how low they go, if you're looking for lows.

I'd like to get flush or almost hella flush, not hella flush though. I'll have to start seeing what size I can use for spacers and then just go off from there.

Going to try to get the stupid caliper paint off the car and wanted to start painting the interior. Still looking on where I can poke the firewall to get my negative cable to batt for my subs so I can clean the install up.
