I was thinking about plans for my tC, then I realized I have to pay rent. So I'm curious, if you had the kind of money you'd like to spend on your tC, what would you do to it? I would do:

Exterior:
RS2 Blue Blitz Mica paint
RS2 stainless steel mesh grills
Shaved antenna
Black headlight housing
Black mirrors and black tinted mirror turn signals
TRD 19" rims wrapped in Michelins
30% tinted side windows, 15% tinted quarter windows and rear window

Suspension:
TRD springs
TRD struts
TRD sway bars

Interior:
Suede everything, including:
Seats, doors, steering wheel, dashboard, glovebox, armrest, rear inserts
Brushed aluminum shift ****
Brushed aluminum switches and buttons replacing plastic ones
Brushed aluminum pedals and dead pedal
Brushed aluminum kick plate
Black seat belt release buttons
Blue interior lighting kit
All regular LEDs replaced with blue and white LEDs, and all abnormal ones replaced with red LEDs.
Scion Security System
Remote start
Dynamat on the entire car

Entertainment:
Zero gauge wiring and Diamond Audio speakers, 10" sub, iPod
Sceens in both head rests, sun visors, and one in the glove box.
XBox mounted out of sight

As for what I can afford...30% tint on the sides and 15% on the quarters and rear.

as to what i would want..

Dezod Stage 1 turbo kit
Built Internal
Dezod Full Exhaust
Painted C/F hood,fenders,hatch
Racing Hart CP-035

the list goes on and on..

 

If I had money, I would sell the tC and buy this:


But since I don't, I would:

RS1 lip kit
TRD springs
18s
Nav system

and that's about it. Wouldn't even do any performance mods.

 

If I had money I would buy a ferrari f430 hehe

 

OEM lip kit & lip spoiler
Koni shocks
new rims/tires
upgraded system
darker tint (current 35%, want 20%)
HID Retro (currently doing)

not a big fan on performance mods since i dont race it?

 

Performance:
The new intake manifold from street concept
Dezod Signature Turbo kit...wonderful possibilities
Full ARK exhaust
Wilwood BBK
Clutchmasters Stage 3 Clutch
Fidanza flywheel
Blueprint the block and P&P
Low Compression Pistons and full internals
ECU (Greddy Emanage Ultimate)

Exterior:
CF Full Lip Kit
xB Lava color paint
Grillecraft black grills
Anzo Black headlights
Krazy Kustomz LED Tail Lights smoked/red
CF F1 mirrors
PIAA super rozzas...18" wrapped in Nitto 555's
CF hatch with integrated CF lip spoiler

Suspension:

Full Custom Roll Cage

Interior:
CF everything that's possible (put firmare to work)
Bride Seat for driver only

ICE:
just need to upgrade my headunit to one with a 7" flip out screen

Oh if i only had the cash

 

I don't really want type out everything that I would like to have for my tC. So let's just say it's a whole lotta stuff, and I'd need a whole lotta cash.

 

If I had the $$, I would sell the tC and get a WRX Sti. If I am to keep the tC, LSD, coilovers, 17X8 wheels, S/C, H/E..... basically nothing too crazy but I'm poor and in school now so thats what I would do.

 

Suspension is #1 to me! I cant stand tC that isn't lowered, so i'd lower it...of course that bimmer is looking mighty appetizing!

i think that's about it

 

Now, obviously if money was no object, there are a ton of things one could come up with... with out going thru insanely over board items and with something that i could realistically do if i planned for it properly. I wouldn't spend it on the tC... i have been looking at getting a Ariel Atom II... comes with a civic type R engine, and can be supercharged.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5U2O...elated&search=

If i can buy the frame alone.. I'm sure i can pick up a srt-4 engine and tranny pretty easily thru either a wrecked car or thru some connections...

So far.. i'm figuring if i was crazy enough to give it a go Aerial Atom comes in at 456 kgs (1005 lbs), So the difference in weight would be the difference between weight of a Honda iVtec 4 banger engine (standard engine type for the atom) and a srt-4 engine.

If a srt-4 has a weight of 2900 lbs /235 whp... you can figure that if a Atom weight the same as a srt.. it would be close to 680whp.

If it had a Stage 3? with about a 320whp as a base number for the whp... it comes out to about 920whp

Saw used ones for sale for about $15,495 euro's = $20,295 (US)

 

if i had extra money i would trade in my auto and get manual,.

 

i think we all hoping Santa's gonna see this thread!

 

 

Put hookers in it.

 

 

turbo, whatever else i need to put in to have blow off valve, clk purple paint, pretty 19'' rims with diamond lug nutz, white interior and leather seats makeover. damn that sounded really girlie (=

 

custom purple paint job
custom amp/sub setup
big brake kit
turbo (of course)
interior leather/suede combo
dvd headrests

I think that's it.

 

100% agreed.

 

If I had money, I would never get a tC i'd have Acura TL
