Why all the sound deadening?
i tried to polish em, those things are fked, so i just gave up, i dont really care. lol

the sound deading is in preperation for the sound system.
and i think in a year or two im taking the tc in a diff. direction so itll be really nice to have all the deadining.

Ah ok I figured it was for a system, but then again it would be good to kill some of the cheapy creaks and such all around the car, lol

Try sanding and then polishing? Give em hell

My beater was a 94 mazda navajo.. I used to catch air off of the snow piles plows caused off the sides of the road.. roll over them a few times to pack it, then hit them at like 20, lol. Didn't want to kill the little suv. Plush pleather seats, perforated for less **** sweat. Auto windows and locks.. ahh good times. :D

oodles of fun that powdery white stuff. I miss it


RWD is technically worse in the snow because your driving wheels push the car, unlike FWD where it pulls.. so FWD will tug your front end in the direction your steering, where a RWD will understeer into a tree.

But, drive easy and both can be done.

yeah pretty sure fwd>rwd as far as snow goes. not only because of what rczdesigns said but because the weight of the motor is on your front wheels providing you with better traction. That's why people with rwd sometimes put bags of sand in the back.

I probably have the loudest tc inside the car, my car is already gutted, and i spent a good day taking out all the sound deadening in the rear section of the car, but saved me about 15 lbs!! :D

my theory is...the more you spend, the rarer they become.
not to many scion owners are willing to pay several K for just rims.
that is true but theres nothing like being the first person to rock a rim... ppl coming in second place are just your shadows lol...
