That must have been droning loud. I had 40s in my Subaru before and it was loud as hell. Sounded good tho.

Boxer engines sound = pimp

 

Toyota replaced the Celica with the tC.

 

^^ thats what i believe but idk if its true or not

 

hasnt the celica/tC thing already been discussed?

 

i think so

 

i guess my cars were kinda ricey but not really lol i had a 98 vw jetta 2.0 it was a pretty nice car i loved it he only thing that killed it and made it ricey was that i had stickers for all the parts i had on it basically the neuspeed exhaust bosal headers tokico struts weapon r intake etc. loved that car though lol my 02 civic si was pretty damn rice went to a muffler shop and welded a muffler on it lol... alot of people will consider my tc to be ricey cause of the decals i have on it but i like it=)

 

hmm idk you guys be the judge




i havent had anybody tell me that it was rice or anything..yet
ive actually gotten a lot of compliments from the subie owners heh

 

The tC is NOT a Celica replacement. Infact they overlapped one another for a year.
The tC started selling Fall 2004 while the Celica sold thru the end of 2005. The tC\'s first year model is 2005 and the Celica\'s last model year is also a 2005.

As everyone know, tC sales were on fire the first 2 years. You literally had to wait months to get yours from Japan. Celicas were rotting on showroom floors. Celicas didn\'t sell because they were well overpriced.

Infact I still have the window sticker from my brother\'s Celica when he bought his:
$17,760
now for the options:
cruise control, pwr windows & door locks $820
ABS $300
remote keyless entry $230
am/fm/cd/cassette $320
15in alloys $385
------------------
Total $19,815


My tC RS2 is a thousand cheaper, more power, bigger alloys, kick **** roof, ipod connector mp3 hu, abs, _____in seats... so much more.

Even the base tC (not the spec) has far more equipment than the Celica and they don\'t charge you for it. Not to mention it\'s also a grand less than a base Celica with crank windows manual locks.

One thing I do give the Celica credit for is its handling. It\'ll outhandle a tC anyday of the week.

 

Ya, it sounded great on the taurus almost like a v8 at low rpms. It was definitely droning lound though. And I agree boxer engines sound PIMP...

 

this is what got me interested in the scion tc because it was basically a 2 door model of this car, here was my first car, someone hit me after a year and their insurance gave me $3000, so i put on a $500 body kit and had it mounted and painted $1500 kept the rest of the money, then started modding the crap outta it but it did flow nicely except the rear bumper was fugly but i didnt get a pic of it before i ordered the whole kit, rare rear tailights, injen cold air intake (basically the same as the tc but no MAF), front clear corners, molded fog lights, blue neons everywhere, blue split loom (damn fast and the furious came out when i got this and i was 16 (2001) lol, i got a lot of compliments the front looked mean as hell (black widow), had a turbo kit from a 3sgte celica/mr2 because the manifolds were the same just had to custom fab a downpipe and tune it right but never installed it, would have been nice

 

lol the back bumper kills that camry..

 

Holly Poop Dave!...hahaha.....Did u apply the Racing Stripes??

 

HaHa Jen loves Rice!...lol... J/M!

 

that actually looks pretty good

 

agree

 

ill admit when i got my tc and started modding it i put on the

GROCERY LIST on the side of the door

 

my first car was a'04 tiburon- never riced out, looked realy good. got t boned and it was totaled.

my second car was a 04 tiburon gt v6- never riced out, people loved that car.

my third car is my tC, ppl know i had neon green graphics, but i dont think they were rice, a lot of ppl liked them, and i beacame known as the cool scion guy.

 

its the result of boredem with me and a friend and a hot summer day on summer break from high school

 

thank GOD it doesn't look nearly the same anymore.



complete with



lmao. looks so different now. back then, it had tail light covers, whip antenna, fugly spoiler, door handle overlays, ebay upper grille (still rockin one, but def. doesnt look ebay period) and ebay fog lights. cant forget optomus prime also.
