Default 05' BSP tC -> '06 SW SC tC?

Just wondering whether I should do that! Wanted to get a 5spd & faster tC. Been wanting a White tC so I can put my Work Emotions on. Getting faster...but it seems that the supercharger aint producing much more power & the turbocharging results aint too good. What should I do?

(Well, thought about the 350Z a lot, but thats much more money, less elec-gadgets for me, not cool )

Darn it really? Good for you...I'm still thinking whether I should. How long have you owned your 2005 tC?

I have put too much ____ money on the tC. I might switch my Navi to the new car if I have to.

Yeah karla, we gotta meet up i wanna see your ride. Well I actually saw my friend peter's tC with my work wheels on, but nice ride is never a tiring thing to see. I'm still thinking about it though. Well a white 350Z with Work wheels would also look good hehe

converting a auto to 5-speed is a downgrade and definatly not cost effective. the best thing would be to trade it in or sell it and then purchase the 5 speed

I have put too much poop money on the tC. I might switch my Navi to the new car if I have to.
I had my tC for about 6 months.. It had 14000 miles on it, it was lowered on Eibachs, had 245/25-18s KDW 2s on the stock wheels, TWM short shifter, Custom 3" header back exhaust, Strut tower bar, and Injen Short ram intake... They are swapping my wheels and tires, my Exhaust and my Short Shifter when they do the S/C so I will only loose the Eibachs... It was too expensive to do the eibachs....

I think it was well worth it already, and I dont even have the S/C or other mods back...

hahaha exactly same situation, got it for 7 months now, so far 12500 miles, with trd springs, navigation, and wheels. Gotta switch everything if i get the new tC. Springs probably stays since they are cheap. so hows the trade in?

i say go for it...the zpi turbo is turning out great results and zpi is a good business with good ethics. the sc is a good choice too because zpi is working on small to large upgrades for the supercharger. but, definitely switch to the 5-speed and then decide which one you want...they both have good support from sdsparks(sc) and zpi racing(turbo and sc)

Worth the trade, especially if you know you'll be driving for quite awhile... I mean, look at the trade I did myself... Yours is more logical to do and beneficial as well.
