New S/C tC to the Family!!!
In light of the recent winfall from Scion Expo 06, we will be getting a new 06 tC for the family! Bye Bye IIP 05 tC for the RS 2.0 Blue Blitz baby. I will be getting photos up pretty soon with the new mods getting done to it. Springs are onthe way as is the new TRD S/C, DC Header, Spoiler, and more.
I will keep you updated on the progress, it will likely take a couple of weeks to get finished up.
Thank you EXPO and GST for donating the S/C for the Raffle!

The car is fine, It only has 12,500 miles. I won the S/C at the Expo and our TC is allready 18 months old, so I would only get a 3.5 year warranty on the S/C. So I figured why not upgrade her ride to the RS2.0 and get the full 5yr. warranty. She wanted the Audio controls and the IPOD hookup anyway. And nothing wrong with the Suede Seats either. Payments go up about $14.
Can't wait to roll around in that to some of our meets instead of the xB.

She isn't in to the car scene as much as I am, thankfully, or I'd be broke. I am going to be doing some stuff to it, mostly performance stuff. Adding an aftermarket spoiler to it and some tail overlays and stuff. I am debating on some wheels for the vehicle still though. I think these would look sweet on the vehicle...
I may want to go with a Gunmetal finish, but I haven't decided yet, besides the front grill has apolished look as well.

ya know I haven't even seen anything but chrome and stock on an RS2 so..... not really much research into my opinion.
i think the stock rims are not right for it.
and the chrome went very well, and i don't care much for chrome rims.

ah, she is like me then. good girl!
resist the chrome! resist!
nix the grill! it may look out of place without supporting blingage...
what to do what to do?
silver MIGHT be too much "light" for it.......
and black MIGHT be too dark.....
dark gray/gunmetal?
I need to do some photoshopping!

Parts are on the way.....
TRD S/C is in, now waiting on the NST 9.5psi Pulley(Thursday), DC Header(Friday), Forge 007 bpv(5days). I

I am going to do the S/C with pulley and header, then add the bpv to see if there is as much difference as is described here in the forums.
Can't wait to get it all put in and have some fun!

Dangit... lol, You shoulda bought my DC Header.. lol
Good luck on all you do.
You should see anywhere from 215-235hp with your setup...
P.S. Make sure you get your hands on an intake that you can cut to fit the S/C, and also get your hands on an Ingalls Engine Damper "stiffy", you are gonna notice night and day with it...

Thanks for the advice.....From what I here, the K&N seems to be the easiest to modify for the S/C. I can get that through our dealership. Do I just need to shortent hte tube a bit to get it to fit?
THe vehicle will not be flogged regularly,(it is the GF's car), but I will look into the engine damper if I feel it needs it for the couple of days a aweek that I get to drive it around

Yeah, you will see that you will just have to cut the intake a little past the MAF... Just put it up and measure it.
I would consider fining the best deal you can on an intake because you are just gonna cut it.. lol..
You will DEFINATELY want to do the damper.. You will see when your motor moves about 3".
Just ask the guys that saw me at Expo when I thought I blew a motor mount.... The motor bounces around in there like CRAZY...
