Me and the misses just picked up an 07 the other day. Picked it up for a good price and a steal with the aftermarket parts on it...now just to get it running smooth. If yall know about it let a guy know some of this stuff is foreign to me (I got a Xrunner tacoma) So far ive got no idea what kit the turbo is (if any) and no idea where to get the base map for the AEM FIC since the battery was replaced and tune was lost

Default 2010 BSP - Not Even 24 hours.. :(

Well I traded in my mazda 3 and picked up a 10 BSP. Drove to work the next moring and came out at lunch to see this.



Some douchhole tore into it pretty hard. Bumper, hood, grill, radiator support are all jacked. No one saw anything and there was not any camera footage.

I still can't believe it. Now I'm out of a car till its all fixed.

Hey everyone...Bushdog here.
I just picked up a rs 2 #420 that I'm using as a dd...fun little car that I bought about a month ago. So far I have it tinted 35%sides 20% rear and have bought spring 1.75 springs and a hidextra 6000k kit from a member here.
plans: basic bolt ons and making it a fun little car to drive around with some nicer aero products as I find time to get them.

also...I'm an ex super mod over from Nissanclub.com so don't worry about yelling at me to search...I think I've spouted that a few thousand times. thanks for having a well built site here!

my old car.
How ironic... I went from this...

Mine is a 5 speed with 48k on it. Completely unraped. Probably belonged to a 40 year old woman.

Tires look taller than stock. Price isn't too cheap. I got my dent free '05 with 80K miles on it for $4200...but I knew the seller.

Greetings Scion life from Miamiii ! i just recently got an 06 super white tC rebuilt title with 57k miles, its an automatic but im planning on doing a tranny swap when im able to afford it financially. Im currently 17 years old in my senior year of high school, Ive been lurking SL for a while now.. i guess you could say i was kind of scared to post since im new to the whole car stuff.. but i can say im really excited to get my car on the way to success! With some birthday/Christmas money that i saved up i went ahead and bought a pair of Anzo LED tails and a shorty antenna, i look froward to speaking with you all and hopefully meeting some of the South Florida tCers in the future!
