community we are happy to see you here and we want to get you talking to
us, start here by telling us about you and your Scion. *PLEASE DO NOT POST TECHNICAL QUESTIONS IN THIS SECTION*
Just scooped up a 2013 Scion tC 6 speed not too long ago, and I must say I've never gotten such great gas mileage in my life! Prior to buying the Scion, I had just sold my 2001 7.3 Powerstroke! I felt like it was time to get something
economical, yet sporty "looking". The tC's interior leave something to be desired, coming from BMW's, however I cant complain with 36 mpg. I come from building specifically 5 series E34's from the ground up, had 5 at one time!
I'm a Mechanical Engineering Senior at my University studying hybrid liquid rocket propulsion! I'm in the United States Air Force ROTC currently and will be attaining my Commission this coming Spring.
I'm looking forward to being active on this forum! Its been a long time since I've had a "tuner" or car guy car. Here is some info on my ride.
2013 Scion tC - $6000
#202 Black
Cold Air Intake (Injen?) Previous owner
Spec D headlights, yellow fogs, fresh new front bumper (all my doing)
114k miles
6 speed manual, shifts like butter
Dealer maintained locally since manufacture, every oil change on record
Some cosmetic issues like a scratch with a little rust above the rear fender, and some other scratches
Just scooped up some 18x8.5 +45 wheels with 215 tires, going to be running them on 20mm spacers.
(I've run spacers in the past, not worried about them)
Things I'm trying to work out:
- Wiring my Spec D light bar to be on with ignition, not just parking lights
- Fixing my driver window rattle (it doesn't stay all the way up, drops about 0.5 to 1 mm after you release the button, rather- no tension/force keeping it pressed up into the felt)
- Needed new fender brackets to get bumper flush with fender
- Muffler options, its super quiet I can barely tell its running when I have the A/C off.
Anyway, happy to be here.
