The "I AM GETTING / HAVE A NEW tC!!" Thread
Hello everyone!
I'm an 18 year old college student (3rd year) from UIUC, majoring in computer engineering.
I just got a new 08 Flint Mica tC on tuesday. I'm loving it so far.
I also have a kawasaki ninja 250. but this is my first car.
here's a picture, just in case you've never seen a FM tC before

and my other baby:

I'm not the kind of person that keeps things stock usually so I'm hoping to do a lot of mods to it. mostly interior/ ICE mods probably. its an automatic so not much hope for making it faster. I want to get an in dash navigation like a pioneer d3... but its very expensive so that probably won't happen for a couple years (gotta pay off the actual car to my dad first lol)

Hi Everyone!
Older military guy (geezer) here just purchased Flint Mica08. I got to say, this is the best bang for your bucks! I'm loving it so far...can't wait to mod the hell out of it! Great gas mileage and love the stock sound system as compared to my previous cars! Will post pic after I give it a bath and zaino it!

I have been the proud owner of a 2008 Flint Mica Scion tC for two weeks now. I think this is a great car. Mine does not have any accessories, but the car seems loaded with all the standard features. I was driving an older BMW 325i, and I do not feel like the tC is any downgrade. The car feels relatively sporty and the finish out looks nice. My first priority will be to get the windows tinted. I do not normally do modifictions to my cars, but I like the options available for the tC if I decide to modify later. I expect to be highly satisfied with this car during my ownership.
hey new guy here. i have an 08 sw tc that i got about a month ago. i had an rs3 before and then someone pulled out in front of me and totalled it. i have done a few mods. fog lights and grill, wheels and tires, door sill enhancements. future mods are tein s techs and halo lights. once i figure out how to post pics i will. haha
whats up everyone. ive owned my tc for about a year and a half and cant complain about it. it is the flint mica color, auto, with about 30k mile on it. runs great, no complaints. im more of a audio guy than a performance guy, mainly cause i know nothing about performance haha. my audio system consists of a 12" Fi SSD sub powered by a hifonics 1206d amp. my front components are 6.5" crystal cpe 60's which are powered by a profile AP600 amp. my headunit is a pioneer 7800. i have videos of it i can link here if anyone is interested and i also got pictures of my car if anyone is interested. just wanted to give a quick little intro for myself. i look forward to learning a little bit more about my car i drive everyday haha.
Hey all. I'm the proud owner of a 2-week old BSP tC. So far I've only put on my TYC tails and debadged her. I plan on lowering her and tinting the windows and that's probably about it. I'm going for a nice clean look
Hey all,
Just got my TC about 2 months ago. It is azure pearl and at the moment sadly stock except for a ebay CAI which I was very pleased with since it opened up the car a bit and really helped the exhaust note which surprised me. It is an 06 bought with 8k mile I have about 11k on it now. only options is the ipod adapter which I think was standard in 06, it is also a five speed. I have done the forum thing before when I had my mustang and was a mod on moddedmustangs.com and this site looks very nicely put together and run, so I hope to learn a lot about the tc.
I have read around and would like to get some personal opinons so instead of cluttering up this thread you could pm me just your take on some suspension upgrades tossing around TRD and tein, and also a good short throw shifter looking at TMW and a perrin so if you guys have any experience with the products let me know.
