what's going down everybody
new to the site, just bought a 2006 tc flint mica, 5 sp. man.
now, i'm an old man compared to y'all wippersnappers, so stay with me, here.
i'm lovin my new ride, nuthin but ooos and ahhhs and questions everywhere i go, but here's the thing:
want to get into modification but don't know a eff-ing thing about it
so i'm just looking for a starting point, any tips, books, annecdotes, whatever.
i ain't gonna mess with anything i don't understand, so i want to understand everything.
where do i start?
good lookin, brooklyn

Bo says take a look at the parts section of the features forum to find lots of info on parts. Just stay tuned to Scionlife and you will get lots of ideas. Find a club near you for more help and info. Good luck with your tC!

know how they work, but thats about all.

Also; the SEARCH function will be useful. (It's not great, but you can pretty much find out some things you're looking for.) I noticed now that some of the Moderators are making "stickies" about parts. (Which one(s) are good, which one(s) are bad, comparisons, etc.) Those should help you out tremendously! Don't be afraid to DIY. When I started to mod my tC, I was scared. Now, I'll try anything.

Best Site in the World for tC accessories- trdsparks.com!!!

If your 33, and I'm 36- Then I must be really old to you!

Go to the top of the page and under features pull down the parts and/or the tech sections. They have do it yourself posts as well as parts reviews--that would be a great start. Again--clubs are very helpful and a lot of the members know how to do things and are willing to help. I guess you must have rebuilt your house because of the Hurricanes last year--you have our best wishes on that issue. Good luck..

Welcome!!! Another deep southerner!!!!

What kind of modifications do you want to start with?

The tC forum will be your favorite place around here, but, like everyone has said, the search feature will help you out tons......
But, so will a private message to someone that has a mod you like and want some more info on.
