I was told from a source (friend who has a honda) that our engine in the tc does not put out that well. I have since been corrected by a number of SL members (which I thank them for there help and patience going from a ford to a scion). Anyway, besides the TRD suspension mods and the overall look car, what else can I get put into the engine since I am going the SC route? Also, anyone know the average price for a trd supercharger with pro install (need to keep the warranty)?

My main goal is to have a "sleeper" of sorts....

Go there bro... That will be helpful to ya.. Good prices to...

 

I have a 08 - oh well...

 

i hate the TRD supercharger, low gains high cost, only advantage is the warranty.

looking as how you want forced induction, doesn't seem you want to sell it back anytime soon, so i recommend investing on a good turbocharger, and if thats to much for you N/A is best, go with a CAI, headers, exhaust.

 

W/ the S/C u can get the Lighten Crank Pulley too...

 

Hopefully soon Greddy will CARB that turbo for us. Then That would be SWEEETT

 

Tires.

 

I read that we have the worse stock tires esp since they only will last around 10000 mi (tirerack). Any recommendations for new ones? They have to be all season since I live in the "garden state".

 

lol yeah i heard that too. Its funny becuase every other site that reviews cars like edmunds or motor trend bragg about the tires and say how they are soo cool since they were the same ones at the lexus IS's.

 

A tire with a tread of 100 = $200+, a tire with a tread of 400 = $100...go figure...

 

supercharger is not a bang for buck thing. for suuuuuuuuure

 

Tires are all about what you need vs what you want.

Your in NJ, so I am willing to bet you need a decent snow tire.

A good friend of mine, and my first person I go to about cars, always suggest to have the very best of both snow and summer tires. Of course thats extra pricey.

Right now I have some Falken Ziex's on my tC. They really display how ____ty our suspension is in the summer, but become rock hard and maybe worse then stock in the winter. (Circa $54 per tire)

The last time I have driven on that was great is freezing weather was on my Parents car. Continental Conticontacts. (circa $90 per tire)

 

We all should keep emailing greddy to CARB our turbo kit. They just CARB'ed the S2000 one. i guess that would be a good bang for the buck. Cmon Californian's lets goo!! lol
