So ever since I've been stuck with an automatic ( i saved about three grand), my dreams of modding the car kinda washed away. Then I come on here, and I see all your amazing tc's and I feel lame.

So my question is, If I go to shows and stuff, not really to enter, just to meet some fellow scion owners, does it just look stupid?

I see you guys throw around "rice" and stuff a lot, so I don't really wanna look like a little kid who thinks he's the ____, cause I already have accepted the fact I'm slow.

i know this is kinda a wierd post, its just been kinda on my mind lately?

and comments?

Checho

not really, people go to shows to show off their rides.

Any scion owner who pokes fun at you for being stock is a ***** and you should proceed to slap them across the head.

Not everyone is in the same financial situation, not everyone can afford mods.

WITH THAT said, there are plenty of mods you can do that won't break the bank and will keep your car stylish at shows :D

kphyle22

Good. Thanks.

Like I know it sounds lame, but I don't wanna go turbo, and I don't see the point in spending a grand for some bolt ons that really wont do much. guess thats what appearance mods are for. yay

Checho.... brotha...Can I PLEASE get an AMEN to that post.... screw anyone that disses another fellow Scion owner for either going in a different direction with their mods....or staying close to stock.... WE here at Scion Life welcome ALL fellow brothers and sisters into the Scion family...and those that dont like Checho said.... are merely stuck up ******...... so welcome.

EAmon

lol auto = no performance, all audio and body mods XP

Checho

Amen :D

Mouse

LOL ....thanks for my AMEN there brotha... This is a Scion family no matter how mild or wild someone wants to/ or can financially take their rides.

kphyle22

yessss. im relieved now. and with the body mods mentioned...


5axis kit?? <-- good choice?

crazishaun

wish i knew that when i got my tc..
but i could've sworn i've seen a few auto mods
that yeild some decent performance..

ProjectGreen

AMEN again,

The point of scion is to make the car yours. If someone else doesn't like it they can suck a big one.

I can tell you now that people will not like my car when its done, but I am happy with it and love this car. So it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

Some easy and semi cheap ones are Cold Air Intake, VRD Grills, Taillights and smoking various pieces. (Not in that way pervs)

There is a lot you can do with a limited budget.

And to repeat what Mouse said, We are all a family.

BTW Mouse what is your name? We seem to be stalking each other all the time ha ha.

Checho

hmm on a black car, i'm not too sure I like it. I was debating the 5AD or the OEM lipkits and went OEM because it just looks nicer on darker cars.

5axis is for lighter colored cars IMO

Mouse

projectgreen my bro... that is so the truth..

ProjectGreen

You can always go S/C with an auto. Its not bad if done right. I think I am at 199whp with an auto.

kphyle22

yea... was kinda thinking of the s/c. idkkk. maybe someday, when I run out of other things that seem more necessary to me.(Need some new rims)




but yea, got the CAI in, double din pioneer deck, couple 12" kickers, dropped it about 2", deciding about some grills, already smoked my tails, and getting some HID's this week , and some other useless time killing mods

ProjectGreen

See so right there you aren't stock. What kickers are you using?

I have some of the CVR's and love them.

Mouse

hey bro...just b/c it's not laying down hp #'s does not mean its a "worthless" mod..... HP and ICE go hand in hand on our Scions.. :D

rosedaleny806

u drive an xb, manual or not u sure as hell have no performance jkjk haha


but yeah u can do lots and still have fun wit ur car, show car nice sound nice exhaust etc. u can always go boost 250whp about not bad but u can always do basic bolt ons, even wit a manual u don't get much out of it but watever sounds good. don't let the fact that u have an auto ruin ur "modding" hopes. do wat u want u know? nice sexy drop nice sounding exhaust and lip kit ur set

kphyle22

yup yup, the good ol two CVR's.

was gunna get the L7 or W7 but then I got a good deal, and i figured I didn't wanna hurt my baby too much

Mouse

LMAO there my bro rosedaleny..... if one buys a toaster... short of jet propulsion it ain't gonna smoke a 67 Shelby GT500 lol.... they buy it for the look..that its a Scion...and go for the bling ICE factor

kphyle22

yea, i don't mean "worthless" i guess, but for a pizza maker making 9 bucks an hour, some purty rims make me happier than a new mid-pipe. but maybe that's jsut me
