2012 "TRD" tC ATX build
 
Hello everyone. New here, from Austin, Tx. Pics of my tC2 below
TRD 19 in wheels
TRD exhaust
TRD air intake
TRD quick shift kit
FiveAxis Aero kit
Toyo Proxes 4 tires
Rear lip spoiler
Fog light kit
Pioneer Premium audio
JL 500 amp and Memphis 10 subs

still wanting the TRD big brake kit, sway bar set, and lowering springs
maybe a turbo after that <---doubtful

I know the TRD stuff can be overpriced. But I'm trying to just stick with a "TRD edition" tC

Heck yeah man welcome to the site!! tc looks clean and well taken care of!! i have a 1st gen tc but still respect the 2nd gen!

Yeah the bbk would be sweet and so would the springs im assuming trd since that seems to be what youve been goin with haha and the sway bars dont do much unless you go for the rear sway bar which ive heard really makes a difference! cant wait to see more work done!!

Do you know how much the springs lower the car? Wondering if the 19 wheels are going to cause an issue...

SickestScion 01-05-2013 10:14 PM

uhhhhh idk 19's may have some problems but im not sure the wheel space in that second pic doesnt look like you will have a problem though...but idk if you have heard of trdsparks.com but here is where you can get the springs and the bbk http://www.trdsparks.com/displaypart...&parts_id=3879

i only stuck with the factory warranty. but no the trd parts did not void anything. in fact all of mine i had dealer installed and were part of the original purchase contract

SickestScion 01-06-2013 04:52 AM

This makes me want a newer tc even more....

murphn8r 01-06-2013 05:57 AM

Alright ima have to talk to them because i want the trd lowering springs for right now but i got the factory warranty and the extended one. My warranty doesn't end till my car is paid off

I'll be switching to coils soon and will be selling my springs next month if your interested. Made by eibach, but I hear they make them for TRD. Almost exact same drop and still ride very comfortable. Probably about 3,000 miles on them

put a stubby antenna on it.

Bamplaya32 01-07-2013 07:33 AM

welcome welcome ! nice looking tc !

BRains3 01-07-2013 01:43 PM

Thanks! And I've thought about the antenna...saw a nice thread on here about that

BRains3 01-07-2013 11:54 PM
