So far, I have only ran into one other ScionLife member (clayton1) who is in the Nashville/Murfressboro/Franklin area's. If there is some more of us around, would be nice to meet you guys/gals.

I'm prob headed up to chat, this weekend. I prob will be going once a month or so...


I really wouldn't consider Chat to be a general vicinity of Nashville.

That's cool though. Your still a Scion owner. I'm from Nashville, but I live in Murfreesboro with my g/f. You might have seen us around. My g/f and I can be found in a Black Cherry Pearl TC. With exhaust on it. It also has a ZPI windshield banner, and an Injen Technology decal on the side window. If you see me or her role by, don't hesitate to give us a shout.

Well if you live here then I know that you've seen my xB cause I think that im the only yellow one around here. Where did you buy your tC from?

Actually, I haven't seen it. Which side of town are you on? We got the TC from Neil Sandler (the dealer, on the next exit past the main Boro exit). I will be in Cookeville this Sat., and then going to KY to visit ZPI the weekend after that. Maybe we can find time to introduce ourselves and gander at the automobiles.

How long have you had your tC? I am a Scion salesman at Neill-Sandler. I've been here for about to months. Who did you buy it from? Yeah that sounds good we'll meet up some time.

Im in M'boro too, but I own an xA (RS 2.0 with full disc wheel covers). 450xB sold me mine! Hey, I saw another yellow xB in town two days ago on Rutherford near the college. I dont know if it was you or not, but I dont think he had a cover on his gas door.

We have had it since March I believe. Maybe May. I forget the guy that sold it to us. It was the only TC on the lot at the time that was 5spd. And I forget the guy that sold it to us. He was an older gentelman, and I believe he wore glasses. I don't think he normally dealed with Scions, but he sold it to us though. Very nice guy. Wasn't a pushy salesman AT ALL. It's one thing I ABSOLUTELY don't like, and that's trying to be SOLD on something.

I guess I would get more results if I was looking for all Scions in the area. All three of us should meet up at the Sonic or something. You know the one in front of the Movie theater, and next to the Taco Bell.

This Sat. (29th) may be somewhat of a short notice for everyone. Let's plan on the following Sat. which is Nov. 5th for everyone to meet up at Neil Sandler. I told Clayton about this thread, so, he will be informed also. He knows another guy with a TC too, so he will check to see if he will be able to roll too.


PS..that is if everyone can do this Sat.(29th) That's fine by me, I'm flexible on the weekends, I don't have to work. :P

FYI Everyone It's all going to go down on Nov. 5th. So BE @ Neil Sandler let's say 6:00pm. If anyone has a schedule conflict let Nick[450xB] know. I think 6:00pm sounds good. If we need to push it to 7:00pm I think that would be ok too. But lets try to get there no later than 7:00pm

Some chick in a RS1.0 TC came up to us at the car wash yesterday and was asking us where we got our intake from. I told her about the meet up at Neil Sandler and ScionLife.com too. She said that she was coming. So, that's one more person to add to the list.

What year Si was it?

It was the model before the Hatchback ones came out. So, basically Slow Si's. Even the Hatchback can't beat the TC.

What if you car is not totaled what are your plans?

If they don't total this car out, there will be some hell raising. But I guess we would have no choice, and just continue to build upon what we have. Rebuilding it would obviously put us into a hole. The exten of damage of that car is not worth the 16k left on the car loan. So, you can imagine the debacle that we would be in, if they decided to fix it.

rhythmnsmoke
11-04-2005, 05:23 PM
Update....YEAAAAAHHHHH!!!! They deemed it total. :D Now they are going to take it to the apparisal auctioner or whatever you call it, and get it appraised to find out how much we are going to get for it. I'm so glad they deemed it total. Not Glad that it is wreck to begin with, but I would rather take a total than it be wrecked and fixed.

On another note, when the insurance guy that's handling the case comes back to work Monday.. :tap: They will let us know where we can go pick up the car, so that we can take it to a mechanic to get the parts removed (Tein H-techs, Blitz Nur: Spec exhaust, and I probably will swipe the ECU while I'm at it). I wish I could part out the wheels, but I don't have any wheels to put back on it in there place. Plus, we would have to buy it back from them if I wanted to strip everything and part it out.

More good news, my TWM Stage 2 SS comes in today....wheeee..

SO NICK! Get moving on looking for a:

2006 Black Cherry Peal TC
Factory options to be added are:

Carbon Fiber B Pillar Appliques

Door Sill Enhancements

Yeah, it's been a sad week for me and my girl. She has been all depressed, cause she dosen't have a car now. But yeah, we are going to get the rest of the parts off. The intake is not salvagable. It was chewed up in the collision. There are pics of the wreckage on Page 2 of the thread intitled "TC in pieces". The thread is located in General (tc) section. But I will be getting the exhaust off, and hopefully all the springs.

It hasn't been a sad week, it's been a devastating week. I've been heartbroken and what makes it worse is that I'm doing my insurances work since their to ignorant to do it on their own. Do they not realize that I'm WITHOUT A CAR! Sorry! lol

Wazup peeps! Just got back from FL, so that's why I've been absent. We just checked our answering machine, and we are getting a new quote from the insurance company. They talked to Toyota Financial, and instead of the 14,8k they where offereing before, they are going to pay it off now. :P There might be leftover money after they pay it off that suppose to go to us. So, that's good news.


I fixed your pics for you:

Do you people have an event calendar you keep track of meets on?

If not would you use one if it was free? PM me if you're interested. We use it here in Phoenix and it works very well for us. Click Here (http://www.scionetics.com/eventinfo.cfm?eventID=17) to see our next event.

Yo, Clayton....I will roll by if you want. Give me a call. Question though, why did you need to bleed the brakes? Shouldn't have to had bleed the brakes just to paint the calipers. Anyhow, I just picked up the Need For Speed Most Wanted Black Edition for my PS2, so I will bring that over too.

It's got pretty good pick up until you hit about 5000rpms, then it kinda just dies and sits there. I just hate not having my car. This Neon is horrible, it sputters along and feels like the tranny is about to go at anytime. I can't wait until my new TC gets here.

Not aware of ZPI bro?.....Must be new huh? It's all good... :P. ZPI are pretty much the SOLE performance shop for Scion parts. Mostly specializing in TC's and WRX's. They are located in Louisville, KY. We just got back around 8:00pm today. It's now 10:10pm, and I'm posting when I should be resting. I have some pics and some vids of our upgrades.

The only problem we had that day was one spring we couldn't get re-aligned, took us all damn day. The other problem is that Cool Cars (the shop that did our tint) was aware that we wanted 20% tint. Well, they put on 20% tint, but only on the quarter and rear windows. The side windows are 35%. We did not realize this until after we had left thier shop and was back over at ZPI battling it out with the springs. 0

We wanted 20% on all the windows except the front windshield. So, I'm going to have to call them tomorrow to let them know that there has been a mistake, and that we want 20% on our side windows as well. I forsee the next trip being sometime in mid Jan., because we have Xmas next week, and New Years is actually my birthday :P I plan on getting the exhaust done then too.

No prob bro. These pics are worthy..heehee.. As you can see, I'm getting the hang of the night time shooting.


PS..Now you have to update everything, sig, profile, etc. with the addition of your new ZPI exhaust. Funny how when we were in the BCP TC, and had the Injen CAI and Blitz Exhaust (crappy piping), and you were stock with just the 18inch wheels on it, we would roll you on the interstate.

Now the tables have turned and you have an intake and even better than my custom piped Blitz, you have the ZPI exhaust, and we are stock. And now you roll us... :P

But this won't go for long, :no: You know me. Performance mods are coming real soon. Wish for us to be boosted :pray:, or not :P

Anyhow, talk to you tomorrow Clayton


PSSS...Spawnconnery, you are more than welcome to come. As soon as I talk to the tint place tomorrow, I will get a more precise time and date for you. My only question would be though, can you keep up in your xA :P On Average we were 80-85mph, with your ever so often 100mph burst the whole way there, and the whole way back (with the help of a neat little invention called a radar detector) :lalala: .

You are going to have to catch up to me on the movie thing....lol I'm always seeing the movies way before you do. King Kong was good, just like the original, but better cinematography.

Dont worry Im still here whats up! Travis call me and let me know when your getting getting everyone together again.

You moved to service, so are you going to be able to check the web as often? Well, I guess you won't need to, because you get off earlier now, so you can just go home and do it. But it would have been nice to have your xB in the center. We need some more people to join in on the fun. 3 tC's was cool. More Scions Please..

Update for everyone. We did Clayton's tail lights last night, and they turned out good. I have done the first run on our tail lights, but I need some more VHT, which Clayton has an extra can that he will let me use.

ps...Are We the only people on here that are constantly modding and doing activities in this area? You guys need to step it up man...I'm one of the oldest cats of us (besides spawnconnery), and I have more priorities than I would care to have, but I still find time to update and letcha know what's going down on my block.

I have done 1 mod to my xA so far. I actually got the cheapy ebay muffler installed. I think I showed it to you guys when we met up at Neill Sandlers. Anyway, I do like it so far. The wife hates it. Ive been thinking about taking a pic of it installed and posting here just so there will be something showing what one of the carbon fiber tipped cheapy ebay muffler looks like. Im trying to decide what to do next, either an intake or a header. I think Im leaning toward the intake for now but will keep you guys posted. Im also thinking of white lettering my tires, but I need to try it out first to see what it will look like.

One of the earlier posts said Nick moved to the service department. Is this right? And when the heck is he gonna bag that toaster?

Oh, also, what are you guys doin to the taillights? Post pics.

Wife no likey... :nope: heeehee...If it was me, I would go with the header. You will get a better gain in hp and tq faster than with the intake. Then you can get the intake afterwards. Now if you were for some odd reason to go Forced Induction, you would have to scrap both the header and intake and sell them. We need a meet again, once I get the parts in for the tC. Yeah, Nick moved to the S/D, so it's hard for him to check the internet any. When we are done with the tails, we will be sure to post pics of course.

Molly was crying on the phone b/c of her ____in parents again argggg. anyways I want to try and make my tails look a little better. We need to figure out how to make them look stock and smooth you know. Anyways I hope that your done with your tails. BTW i saw a silver tC in cool springs tonight with an exhaust. It might have been a TRD, but it was louder than stock. call me sometime

Naw, naw, I dont think its dead, just nobodys got anything to say right now.

When you gonna post pics of the tails?

Im thinking of going with an intake for now. I know you said that the header would give more noticeable power now, but I plan on getting that later. Will be much easier to install the intake now and do the header when its warmer.

When you guys going to ZPI? I might like to go, though I dont know how much there would be for me to check out. Would be cool to see em install somethings on ya'lls cars. Maybe get to see their xB that they are working on.

We should be hitting up ZPI in roughly a month (which is how long it's going to take to get the CF hood in). I washed the car, but like usual, it started to rain afterwards, so I didn't get any pics of the tails. I will do that soon. The only things we are waiting on now is the CF Hood (to be shipped) and CF OEM Fenders (to be produced). When we go up to ZPI though, you should come. Clayton is going to roll with us again. What's in line to get done when we get up there is..

2.5 Mid-pipe now being sold by ZPI
ver.2 Crank pulley
and S-pipe

All to be mated to our Blitz Nur Spec exhaust. By the way, Kenny will take you for a ride in the 12sec. tC (good fun!)

The show is suppose to be on the MTSU campus. I forget the dude that's sending out the flyers. He is on this board, I will have to find the thread and link it for you.

Just thought I would give you guys an update. Misti just purchased a set of CF fenders for the tC today. ETA is 10 business days on them. Can't wait till they get here. Also, the AIT CF hood should be arriving roughly in about 3 weeks (month wait as we pre-ordered it). Then I will be able to install everything and the tC will be back in cosmetic appeal.

We will role like this for a bit, then add the RacingSolutions CF front lip to it (probably after we go back up to KY to get the windows redone, and the exhaust done). We are going to be looking RIGHT for the show here in April.


Just scrolled up the paged and looked at those pics I took of the blacked out tails.....DAMN that's HOT. By the way, if any of you guys want me to black out your tails for you, I will do it for you at a discounted price....say $20 dollars (you purchase the VHT of course).
