Default Need help with ideas for next big move...

So i bought my Tc last March and love it to death, but it is still to stock. I have been lookin for new upgrades but one thing still holds over my head....

I have but almost 30,000 miles on it and average about 26mpg on the street and had an impressive 3500 mile ride at roughly 30.94mpg. This made me happy and i would like to keep it as high as possible since i am looking at another 30,000 miles this yr alone... I want to do some light suspension work, but i am also looking at some bolt on engine ideas... any ideas on what will help the car over all performance but not cost to much in the MPG route?

Also i am now in the Charleston, Sc area, anybody know of anything fun to do... i am going nuts here!!!!


in Boise, Id before i left

For the suspension, get some springs, and a rear sway bar if you have extra cash :D

and for performance, the only thing I can think of that will not harm the MGP is an intake, if you drive slow, you'll actually gain some MPG

injen intake. tanabe concept g exhaust. but with ur constant driving idk if u wanna hear the constant drone of an exhaust.

i got front and rear greddy strut bars and they work wonders for my suspension. but springs/shocks wouldn't hurt.

maybe work on the inside a bit? maybe some racing seats, or a c/f dash kit?

upgrade the speakers and add an amp to them?

idk if these ideas suit u


but this is what i have or looking to do

Your in SC, make the trip down to Sparks Toyota Scion in Myrle Beach and talk to Ken. Guarantee you he will have some ideas or some TRD parts that will wet your appetite.

If you want a supercharger, Sparks is the best place to get it and have it installed that I know of.
