I just became a member, I own a Scion TC 05. I've already done some work to it. I got Megan Headers, K&N cold air intake, Maganflow exhaust, O2 sensor and some interior work. i want your opinion on what's next to get?

Change any of what? He's asking whaty our plans are?

Are you planning on going to any cars shows with it?
Planning just to have a nice daily driver?
Maybe planning to race auto-x or another type of racing?

Have you swapped out your S-Pipe yet? I see you have headers and exhaust... but was the s-pipe done too?

You could also look into lightweight pulleys. NST makes 3 different ones. I don't know how much of a gain you'd see on them, but they're supposed to help.

I think ZPI also makes one or two crank pulleys.

Congrats on the purchase, Congrats on signing up to the best website on the internet. And remember 1 thing its a header not header(s) you will get flamed for saying headers.. We dont have 6 or 8 cyl cars therfore its only a header.. Best of luck and post up pics..

Welcome. For bigger power look at the ZPI and Dezod kits. Also, I would definitely drop it. If you want a closer to stock ride with a nice look and better handling go with the TRD springs.. I love mine. If you want lower and more aggressive then there are plenty of other options as well.

As for the K&N, take it from one of many that have had them, find a way to improve the mounting on the inside mount (the one that bolts to the top of the motor mount) It will eventually break the mounting point off the motor mount and begin rattling. Mine is off the car until I find a better mounting point for it.

For interior stuff.. feel free to pm me regarding options for the gauge and center console color swap. The gauges are just a LED swap, the console requires a circuit mod I created and posted on here. I would be happy to give you info on the things required as well as different people doing them.

I am also working on some other interior electronics... waiting on my programmer to arrive to complete one of them. So I may have some more custom stuff coming.

Other than that, search around here. There are a number of very knowledgeable people willing to share info around scionlife.

Enjoy the new car!

I believe the s pipe will get you 1-2 horses if that.
