Nice looking car you got there. Super white looks great

Question for you... did you previously own a 1st gen tC? If you did, how does this one feel/perform overall compared to the other?

Thank you everyone, I am loving the new tC. I will be using this thread for the project build, so expect to see more pics coming as I go.

@ Rob_Descendant: you will be getting a PM in a minute

@ serith: I used to own an xD, but I do a lot of work with Scion and have been able to drive 1st Gens around a lot. The NG tC feels much quicker, and handles much nicer in my opinion.

@ Murphys Law: no it feels much stronger than the First gen garnish

@ krazyliltc: There is a P-Tuning box in the trunk :D
I am working with Carlos to get some things taken care of for the 2nd gen owners.

Just not feeling the TC2. Looks like a brick not trying to be a brick on wheels. Also the black exterior A-pillars looks terrible.

How's the 6-speed? I'm assuming much better response than the auto.

While not mind blowing performance, that's definitely a huge step up from the 1st gens. Thnx for answering my Q

no problem serith, and yes I agree, while not too exciting, its still better than nothing...

Oddest thing to me about the NG tC is the reverse light... thats right I said reverse light, as in singular... the slot on the right side is a dummy, there is no actual place to even install a bulb on the right side "reverse" location...
