Automatic with mods vs. Manual stock
yeah than theres not much u can do. I have intakes/exhaust and thats all u can pretty much do, to a n/a except headers, yet its minimal power just sounds better. and plus you dont need 2 be going faster than the tC goes if ur not racing on a track neway.
auto or manual, who cares, if you put the right amount of work in any car the right way, weteher it be a tc or a ford taurus. It can be quick. this scion community was built for people to come together because the love of your car. who gives a ____ whos faster than who, if your car is fast enough for you, and you only, thats all that matters.if you love your car, good for you, if you worry about being as fast as the other guy, you got your car for the wrong reasons. any of us could have got an evo..or a wrx, or a rx-8., but we didnt we got tc's, and why, cheap, reliable and pretty quick if you know what your doing, besides its a nice ___ looking car and its easy to modify and make one of a kind. Be a dick and go buy an evo thats the same as the evo next to you. or be original and do things the way you want to,

benefits of a auto tranny
-constant boost
-no mis-shifting for the casual driver who might run at a track a couple times a year.
-great for daily driving in places like Chicago, Cleveland, etc.
The only thing bad about it is that there is more power loss through the auto tranny and that they are a bit weaker. Which is why...
If you refer to the auto tranny build up guide...
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...822&highlight=
you will find that it is quite simple (though more expensive) to upgrade a auto tranny for racing.
^ But its boring. And mustangs are trash. Sorry
This united in individuality stuff is starting to get really annoying. Cause every evo around the way is the same? Cause you cant customize an evo the way you want to and make it your own like the tc? You can say that for any car, and any person who was pride in their car and customize it the way he/she wants. Or can leave it stock. Whatever, the tc doesnt make itself different than any other car brand just cause you can make it your own. Technically any car can do that.
The only reason people buy tc's cause its cheap and cheap to "make your own".
make one of a kind. Be a dick and go buy an evo thats the same as the evo next to you. or be original and do things the way you want to,

I don't know what you mean by cheap.....for about $750 total you can get the Zex tC nitrous kit with the purge kit.
However, if you act like a fool with it some bad things could happen.
That kit can increase hp/torque for an instant; the kit is capable of 55/65/75whp adjustable jets. 55/65 would be the best options though to decrease strain on the motor.
That's about all without dumping a couple grand on a supercharger or a few grand on a turbo.
You can always invest in decals.....the more decals you add the faster you go.
if you do trans work to the auto it will be faster than a 5 speed. Get a valve body upgrade from ipt trans if you want to put more power to the ground, or a torque converter. People hate on auto's, but theyre not that bad. If your stuck with one (like me) you might as well make some 5speeds look like _______s.
I thik its like 850 for a valve body upgrade if you send it out to ipt trans in new jersey. Or you could do a leven ten build. Theyre expensive and i trust IPT. They did my friends tC a lot cheaper than level ten would and he'll hold over 600whp.
